recently murdered in the cjuuty of Austiu:
Texas; She was sitting in 'her chamber,
sewing, when some unknown person .fired
throulfo -*tfce window, 'killing 1 her Instiefl^-
The murder created the wildest excitement
in the viiinity, add every effort was made
to discover the perpetrator. Suspicion fell
upon a young man whose suit to Mrs. K.'s
daughter had beeu rejected, and lie was ar
rest'd. A remafkable circumstance fixed
the crime upon him. In Ins pocket was
found a copy oft ie NaiV Or'eaus Built tin,
from which a piece 1 ad beeu torn. Q;j the

Fatal Affray at Appling, Colombia County.
A correspondent of the Chronicle Jb Sen
tinel, writing from - Appling,* March 53,
gives tbe following particulars of a most
distressing tragedy. He says:
A fatal -nd most Qqfortnoate tragedy
occurred here yesterday afternoon, about
four o’clock, io which Mr. Lycurs os Reese
was shot and killed by Robert Hardin, on
the public square, within a few rods of the
Court House, when the Court was in ses
sion. As tbe case will to-day undergo ju
dicial investigation, 1 refrain from giving
any of the' particulars further than to say
that the killing grew out of a drunken
brawl, in which these two meo became en
tangled without tbe slightest ill-feeling to
ward each other. Indeed, it is said, they
were very particular friends, and had. been
for along time. Hardin was sworn in tbe
morning as a member of the Grand ury,
and Reese tis a member of tbe speoial jury,
and both had just left tire Court room dar
ing a pause in .the business to take sotfie
refreshments, when tbe collision took place,
and Reese fell Just as the pistol was fired
the Sheriff was calling Reese into court, to
try a speoial case on wHich he bad been se
lected. Both of them were gentlemen of
good standing: in the county—both heads of
families. Reese leaves a. wife and nine
children. What most have been the agony
of this poor woman and her little house
hold when the husband and father, who
had left them in the morning foil of life
and vigor, was brought home to them in
the afternoon locked in tbe cold and ghast
ly embrace of death. Hardin was arresud
and committed immediately to jail, where
he is not. waitng an investigation,* which
will be had to day- ;
Since tire above was in type.'we learn
that Hardin has been acquitted-
Counterfeiters Arrested.—Monday
evening, three men, named Pankey,* Martin
and Heppey, were arrested on the charge of
passing counterfeit greenbacks. Panky
and Martin have been about this city for
several years, dealing in tobacco. Heppey,
it appears, staid abont Macon- They were
suspected for a long time, and finally en
trapped by a detective, who managed, while
receiving from them some 82.050 of the
“queer,” to arrest one of the parties, and
finally the others. Marlin* and Pankcy
were examined before United States Com-
missioner Smith on yesterday and day be
fore, and committed. Heppey, we. learn,
wiR be examined today. The Martin allu-
ded.to is W: A. • Martin tobacco trader
from North Carolina, and should not be
confounded with-ah excellent gentleman
bearing that name.—Atlanta Omrlitution.

- Gospel Truth.
The Union Springs Timer utters sound
truth in the following:
“One thing is ccrtai to mathematical
demonstration. The planter who exhausts
his means and labor to make only cotton
runs all risk. Ho may have a short crop,
whije others areblcsscd with large yields,
and thus be forced to take a low price. He
may'then have to pay out of the disappoint
edly small amount realized from the sals of
his cotton speculativelv high prices for.corn
and bacon, without which he cannot live.
The chances will then be that he falls in
debt. On the other hand, the farmer who
raises plenty of corn andhis own meat, is
perfectly cafe, even if the cotton proves a
miserable failure. He can live He is
free of debt and all the harrasstnenfo which
accompany R. Jt will bp moat happy if
this comity, next fall, can boast that she
has her own food at home; it will be little
less than criminal, if by neglecting the grain
and vegetable crops, she is found dependent
“ foreign supplies.

course accordingly. There are few things
less impropable. than that Southern market*
will, at a not very distant day, be wholly
supplied by Southern nulls; not by East
ern ones as heretefore'and now.
■ -‘But the lack of progress' in cottons was
no greater than that noticeable in paper,
iron, leather and the fisheries.”
I Adds, tho Tribune : This is what we have
all along urged ; yet to the Worl/l it seems
a new revelation. Massachusetts has “got
Ijar grotfth' n -in manufactures; it is now the
tarn cf those States Which have cheaper
Labor, cheaper Coal, and an immensity of
unused Water-Power. The Spragues are
probably'the most extensive and successful
cotton manufacturers in America, and they
have lately built -or projected three vast
n_w establishments : one in Connection’.; a
second in Maine;-the third in-South Caro
lina.* Massattuseetls. as the World shows,
has scarcely extended her manufactures
since l855; nieantiiue, those,of tire Wert ;
have quadrupled. We believe there are,
to day, more woolen factories On the Missis
sippi and its^ tributaries than cast of the
Delaware; if not, there soon will be. It is
Missouri, not Pennsylvania, which is to be
most signally benefitted in the. next decade
by Protection to Iron. . Massachusetts
fought Protection vehemently down to 1825;
andshe can now do-withont it far better
than Georgia can; .far her mills are. built
and stocked with firstrate machinery, which .
Georgia sorely needs. But Protection has
done her excellent service; and wc trust
she will help us to diffuse’ its blessings to
States which slavery or lack of pop
ulation has hitherto rendered incapable of
profiting by its benignant influences. “Let
the toast go ronnd. ’
Mr. Sprague said the other day in a
speech in the Senate :
“A few weeks since, in order to under
stand something of tbe condition of the.
South, I visited Georgia, and naturally was
invited to inspect a cotton mill. In the
city of A ngnsla, G a., is a cotton milt that
today will surpass and docs surpass, in the
success of its operations, the best one in
New England; and the secret of that suc
cess lies iu the turn of one roll where the -
cotton is delivered on the spindle, it turning
at one hundred and fifteen turns to the
minute, where others in New England; or
eyec by the side of it, tarn ninety or one
hundred.,’
The Cowr of a Cotton Factory.—The
following estimates are furnished by Mr.
Montgomery, of New York, of tho cost of
machinery for a cotton factory of moderate
capacity, proposed *to he built in Jefferson,
Louisiana:
cost of 1000 ‘ring” spindles and Prep
aration—machinery.
1 Mason’s whipper,
1 Picker and tapper,
4 Double doffin cards,

Wi!
Total cost of machinery and fixtures,89,485
The above is a detail of the cost of 1,000
lindles and preparation, without looms.
r ithout geing into detail, $10 per spindle
is a safe calculation. One hundred spin
dles is a common estimate per horse power.
Twelve looms, with accompanying ma
chinery, consumes one horse power. Forty
looms should be allowed to 1,000 spindles
for spinning medium numbers, say 20s and
30s. Looms cost 865 each.
The cost of 1,000 spindles, with prepara
tion and weaving machinery, would be as
follows:
Wr.oleo^t of 1,000 spindles and
preparation, (deducting price
of reels and bundling press,
which are not needed for weav-
ing,) is
Forty looms, at 865 each,
One dresser,
One warper,
One spooler,
Extra charge for steam engine, say, 350
Extra charge for shafts and belts, 250
89,765
2,600
450
100
80 l
Total • 818,595
From this detail, it appears that the cost
per spindle, with looms, is 813 60, but a
safer calculation would be $14 00 per
’ ’le.
1000 spindles, without looms, I would
recommend a one-story building, 1O0 feet
long and 50 feet wide. For two or three
thousand spindles, let the building be two or
