Cotton Culture In the South. \Va are glad to see pitfall* opinion, in tho North and South, directing to the iinnortunou of tho lnuimlhcturfi of cotton in those Status where the staple is produced. The recent publication in the (Jhroutnle t fc Hfmtlnd of the highly l!uttering and remunerative returns made upon investment iu mauulheturos in this State, and i(ioro uspu- dftlly the astonismbg unedess of tuo Augusta Factory, has awakened an iWteVest on the subject which must, lead to an increase of manufactur ing capital here. Shrewd men of tho North the large manufac turers of New England and of Pennsylvania have been led to examine into the claims advanc ed in favor of profitable operations hero, and al ready lurge investments liavo been made aud ex tensive prepri nt ions began to establish mills iu different portions of the cotton growing region.

The report has been referred to the Finance Committee of the House: r.K out. Morrow acts as tho chief of the “dramatis p-r- . hUberU^'w^ . garded as ail unprofitable sonm.” It, by its inllueuce, saddens the heart j branch of industry, shows v< rv clearly that I those who have heretofore believed that cotton of ull; and if allpro brought under this influene thou it is required of us to speak clieeringly and kindly to all. Each, though heavy-hearted, should throw aside his own burden, and forget his own sorrows, by striving to allay and over come those of others -by scattering their path way with fresh flowers, kind words, and gentle looks, as enlivening to the sail soul ns the balmy breuth of eve, and tho softeneddews of morn to the drooping, withered flowers, or the shimmer ing sheen of a moon-lighted lake in the fanciful dream of a poetic mind. It will never be known, could not be. cheaply and successfully manufac tured here, have not properly appreciated the special advantages whien we enjoy in our clim ate, nearness to the production of the raw mate rial. immense water power und abundant and cheap fuel. Wlple we gladly welcome Northern capitalists in the development of this new and valuable branch of industry, we are antritis that our own people should, to some extent, share the profits which must, certainly flow from well-directed in vestments in manufacturing enter rises. The cotton crop of last year, produced in this State, has brought within our borders a larg 0XPJ.pt in the ondleBR oyolno of etomitv, the great ' ll, > ov P tl > 1 .' production, . „ 1 „ . , t M uml it our people are wise they will invest ouo- lufluence of a single kind, or unkind, word or half at least of this surplus ' deed. There may bo on© in our midst who has but lately left the ensnaring paths of sin that lead to tho gates of eternal death, and is now striving to walk Warily in the narrow paths of Christian rectitude. Aud how difficult it is for him to keep tho exact way without diverting, to some xtent, either to tho right or left. His faith is young—but recently pledged—and perhaps his strength not great. The way at best is toilsome and wearj’, and it requires all the powers and nergy of his soul to struggle successfully with temptation. And how diligent should we be to render kind aid and encouragement in keeping the eye of the young aspirant continually directed to his high land-mark. How cautions should we be lest by wrong word or deed we cause “one of these little ones” to err und enter into temp tation. >tton manufactories. We can manufacture cotton fabrics cheaper than they can be produced by New England mills. That this is recognized now us a fact, is clearly inferrable from the re cent heavy purchase aud investments in South ern water powers and mill sitcH by leading New England manufacturers. We know that the Southern planter has here tofore proved rather incredulous upon flic sub ject of profitable manufacturing. Now however, with our changed labor system, we find that planters are becoming more interested in divers ifying their labor and productions. The splen did results obtained by the Augusta Factory in this city, and the hardly less gratifying sue of the itichniond Factory and the Granitevillo | Factory, both but a lew miles from the city, have evoked a lively interest on the subject among planters, and wc hope soon to be able to chronicle the organization And establishment of several now milling companies. The South must devote more attention and employ more capital in those enterprises. By a proper and jitaicioes system she can speodih There msy be among us some tempost»tOBSed j regain her influence and prest i the Govern- moriner who, riding its waves, has been driven to aud fro over life’s foaming main; and. impell ed onward by its raging, has landed at last, his •ssel almost wrecked, and finds himself “a stranger iu a strange land,” his friends scattered, and ns sad, weary and way-worn as was the pious old jEneas when he landed on tho shores of Car thage, driven thither, ns he thought, by the fates, his fleet scattered and friends lost by the howling winds of /Eolns and the angry waters of the Tuscan sen. If there be such within your range receive them kindly; treat them with generous hospitality. Share with them your bread, as did the priest of Midian with Moses. Share with them their griefs and joys; admit them to the protection of your friendship and laws, and lend an interested, sympathizing ear to their talcs of ment, ami restore her people to their former and even greater prosperity. All that is needed, is foa men of capital and influence to put their shoulders to the wheel and the cause of improve ment and progress will move forward with ease and rapidity. The Richmond Whig, iu a recent editortal, gave some good advice upon this subject, and collected valuable statistics showing the value and importance of manufactures iu the South.— The following speculations aro appropriate and well timed: “ "We believe that the spirit which is to work out grand results lias been aroused. The South lias accomplished wonders in rebuilding her lines of communication and restoring the rava ges of war. Her great staples are again taking their commanding place in the commerce of the country. Her mines are being developed, her water power utilized, aud her forests of timber ; turned to account.

The :ent. bonds hn aud visa Lie to do j erv feu>—friends to share with them their cup of sweetened bitterness. “Death, with equal pace, knocks at the palace as the cottage gate.” Then, as we all miffcr the same sad end, ivro ruled by the same grim tyrant, why should we blush to speuk'kindly to, und treat with re spect, those who occupy an humble position in life? Our Savior was born in a stable, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger, be cause there was not room among the proud and wealthy in the inn for the poor people of God. He and his parents were very poor; so much so that ho owned no possessions at all; and yet, who over looked with so much love and compassion on mortal suffering ivs he ? Who ever hushed so oft the cries of woe, or calmed so often the storms of grief and fear? and yet He, God clothed in flesh, condescended to do this, and was more exulted than the richest princes, or st potentate of earth. Then <lo kind as well as be kind—for one generous act, rightly offered, may save a soul from being wrecked on tlie shouls and quicksands of a dissipated life, or bring from obscurity and degradation a being who may, by proper treatment, occupy n place of eminence and good influence, where he may relieve, elevate and enlighten many. As we are all branches oUthe same great t runk, tho least of us exerts an influence for weal oi* woe. That influence may not be great like tho almost boundless ocean, that extends from the to the setting sun, or mighty as the force of , that stream whose blue waves mix not or commingle with tho infinitude of waters through which it passes; but it may be as the tiny rivulet that glides merrily to its own music through green fields and smiling meadows. The shep herd delighted to lead his flocks o’er its velvety green, and list to its silvery tinkle; the wild flowers bloom brighter and tho grass grows greener there. It accomplishes its mission, beautifying the landscape and enriching the soil. Then, as each one of us exerts some influ ence, small or great, let tts exert it as best wo can. For there are those to whom kind words are as welcome, as is a bright and beautiful flower to tlie red man of the forest, “ who sees God iu tho cloud ami hears him in the wind.”— They may be sad—for we never know of half tho sadness in our midst, because it is an instinct of the human breast to secrete, os much r.s possible, its sorrows from all others Rave its own. Mem ory for them maybe sitting, clothed iu sack-cloth and mourning-weeds, low on a desolate hearth stone, from which the fires have. all gone out and left it cold and cheerless; or, perhaps far adown the vale of years, there may be the grave of some loved one, around which the wild weeds grow in native luxuriance, and over which the cypress—sad emblem of sorrow—waves, while ovening zephyrs and summer winds alike wan der through its undulating branches. How, like the refreshing dews Hermon, must be that hallowed influence of gentleness and kindness, that causes these weary, way-worn ones to forget their sorrows and commit their dead hopes to Lethe’s sullen waters. ’Tis as bright where the Alpine summits rear their lofty heads in the re gions of eternal snow, as in the geniality of moro tropical climes. Then, speak checringly unto all, for, “ Ah Htars that ou thft summer sea, Iu raimio gltiry ahine, So words of kiudaeas greater consumption per spindle in the South is due to the lhct that work may be done more un interruptedly in a Southern than a Northern climate. The fact is significant and important. Wc aro confident that before another decade there will be a very different showing in cotton manufacturing' statistics. At a recent sale of manufacturing stocks in Boston, Massachusetts Cotton Mill stocks sold at 1007 C AmoBkjL'ag Man ufacturing Company at 1G98R Merrimack Manu facturing Company at 1625, and there is no reason why similar stocks should not be equally vablA- blo in Richmond and throughout the South.— On tho contrary, there are many and cogent reasons why, iu the South, manufacturing stock should be even more valuable than in any por tion of New Enland. That tho establishment of manufacturing en terprises on a large seal 3 would be of immense benefit to tlie State, no one will dijuy. It be comes in this view of the ease a serious question whether a sound policy would not dictate a gen erous fostering of manufactories to tho extent, at least, of exempting capital employed in them from State, county and municipal taxation for a certain number of years. Tt. is a fact little known to thopublic, that manufacturing capital is now, by law, as a general tiling, more severely taxed than any other kind of property. Not only are the taxes levied by the Federal Government in many instances severe and unjust, but in al most all the States, tho municipal and State taxes are exorbitantly large and excessive. The Detroit Free Press, in noticing this inequality of taxation, says: “Mr. Wells, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, in his able and exhaustive report to Congress, discusses this question under the head of the ‘influence of State and local taxation on the cost ol production. ’ He gives several marked instances in some of the States where the rate of taxation upon all capital engaged in manu factories is so large as to materially affeot the cost of the articles produced. For instance, when the business is earned on by a corporate company, the capital is taxed for State, munici pal and * local purposes at very high rates; and then the shares held by individuals are taxed as personal property, and then the United States tax upon all sales, and upon all dividends. He closes this part of his report with ‘ one suggestion in view of these facts and circumstances, and that is, that if any Stale should determine to adopt a system of local taxation analogous to that recog nized in (ireat Britain or France^ it might confidently anticipate a very large i>\tlux of capital and manu factures from beyond its borders, thereby rapidly in- creasiruj its wealth and devclojnnenis, and possibly, as an ultimate result, compelling other States to adopt the Rame liberal and enlightened policy as araeasuro of defense and protection. “ If the Legislature, while on this subject, could find some mode to limit arid control local and municipal taxation within reasonable bounds, it would also be of immense service.— In our cities, the municipal taxes of almost every kind are extravigantly high, and in many instances outrageously so. Tlu; consequence of this is seen in its effect upon tho value of real eRtate, the rents, nml its depressing effects upon manufactories. “Again, our own municipal authorites are not without power in influencing capital to be iu- ested here in manufactories.

His modost deportment is simply deep dissimulation nnd one of tho measures always used by ambitious men, sinoe Julius Ckesar thrio^ refused the crown.

There is no city iu our country situated on a more mag nificent body of water and better located for manufactories of overy kind, and there must bo some reason why they have not been introduced here.

Georgia.—In the lower house of. the Georgia Legislature, a motion was made on the 15 inst., to rescind the act expelling the negro members of that body, and to restore them to their seats. The motion was lost by a large majority, iu fact by as large a majority as that by which the act of expulsion was passed. We are glad to see this. We rejoice that a majority of the Georgia House of Representatives keep their pride and their self-respect. Tho Radical organs of that State have represented them as greatly alarmed on account of their rush act toward the negro members and exceedingly anxious to undo it at the earliest possible moment. But it appears that the conservatives of the House feel neither alarm nor anxiety upon the subject. They v» confident that they are right, and they mean to stand by the right. They believe thnt, by the new constitution of Georgia, framed by the Rad icals themselves, negroes arc ineligilc to the Legislature, and they have no ideu of letting themselves be frightened into repudiating and practically denying their belief.
