‘•The great manufacturing fact which stands head

upon the attention of the observer, i me the sun at noon

produceu in the Confederate States, 4 600 000 bales,
and iheie was derived from lud>a 573 000 ua t ea ; from
Brazil. 10n,GOO Dales; tVest indies,47,.oo bales;
150, 00 bates; total 5 484 000 bates. Ot this quantity,
87 percent was from tne United estates, ten per cent
horn Lidia, and the three per cent Horn other coun
tries. Ot the value $3,00 ,OJO, the Confederate States
stood for 90 per cent. The demand for the material
has grown in the double ratio of the increasing nuin
oers, and the improving condition oi the means of
the people. The increased quantity annually re
quired tu meet the demand, i.s now equal io the whole
crop of but a few years since. It was recently sta
ted, before "the Manchester Cotton Supply dissociation,
that the numoer ot spindles increased in Europe and
America at the rate ot 6,000/00 per annum. At the
rate of 100 pounds ol cotton per spindie per annum,
there is required to supply these sp.ndles 610,0 0 bales
of cotton per annum, oraquan ity equal to tne whole
United State's crop of 1830. Tuere are then th< se
prominent tacts;—lst Tuatm the present century, the
demand lor cotton has increased from comparatively
nothing, to, in round numbers, 5,500.000 bales ptr
annum. 2d, That it now increases at the rate of
800,000 bales per annum, wh ch in ten years would
give a fhiuandlor 13 500,0t0 bales. 3d, Up to this
time, nearly the who e increase in quantity has been
supplied by the United States; also, the only ad
vance n quality These tacts have been growing in
importance before the eyes of mani facturers and
statesmen dur.ng the last 25 years, and the most tar
nest attention has been dueited to the means of in
suring a future B'>fficientsupp y; but late events have
given anew interest to this subject. The necessity of
increased sources of supply is uased up in the idea of
the growing and pjndtnce upon the Southern States,
Those who n fleet upon tue matter will however,
obseivo that th s question of dependence upon this or
tnat country is altogether secondary, since, w ith the
raihoad pace at winch the demai and grows, it willsoon
altogether exceed the capacity of even the Southern
States to suppty it. Tae question of drawing supplies
from other countr es hasoeenear lestiy disco- sedand
vigorously acted up jn during more than 30 years.
Vast sums of money have bt en fruitlessly expended in
the p o ecution of these schemes. Uiea puintment
nas attended all In themenume, France and Wes
tern Europe have grown to demand more cotton an
nual y. than England required whe it these enterprises
w ere first und> rtaken. Tue French, to meet the same
difficulty offered enormous prizes to produce cotton
in Algeria. The produce was bought up at premium
prices ; the iabric formed Irom it was prep re i with
the . re 'testcare at R »uen, and ostentatious.'y para
ded'atthe Pans Exhibition Allended in umistakable
failure Cotton ot tae Am rican quality is said to gr iw
in A'rica , but industry of the American quaity is in vain
sought in that country. [Tue editors scoulu also have
»a a A nca wanted monthly rams throughout the
sumint r to give the cotton quick growth and iong
staple] “After considering al» accounts irom that
quarter, and comparing them with similar reports of
*0 ears’ standing, we draw from tht m but little hope.
“Toe English have made Herculean effirtsin India
but tne results have convinced the mi et sanguine prac
tical men that more Surat cotton only can be expec
ted thence One of the highest Manchester au In r
ti-Bconcludes ava uvle nport as follows: « The
point we have to bear m mind then, is this, our desideratum,
is not simply more cotton but more cotton of the same charac
ter and p> i easthat now mporUdfrom the States. If India
were to send us two millions of Surat cotton per annum, the
desideratum would not be supplied and cur perilous problem
wou dbe still unsolved. We should be almo tas dependent
on America as ever. It is theinsuj}ici‘nt supply ofthe softwkite,
silky, moderately long cottons catled '* Upland Bowed Geor
gia and Mew Orleans”—or the high pri eof this cotton—
that has d' tvin cur manufacturers upon the short s'apltd na
tive article of India, cilled Surat, If the price of the two
was equal scarcely a bag of Surat would beemploytd.”
“It na< been sufficiently demonstrated, howerer,
that the growth ol cottor in India cannot be much
increased and China depend* largely upon the India
surplus. The * Aorta of the East mdia Company have
not been few, or inefficient. In 1840, the Honorable
East India Cimpany sent An agent to the United
B'atts with a eertebidnche as to expenses He engaged
the services of ten experienced American p -tton
grower», taken from the best cotton districts of the
country. Stveral wire taken from Mississippi, two

day each; they subsisted on rice As food. One of
the planters, Mr. Terry, stated that in Mis iss'ppt
one hand could cultivate five acres, ma e five baiea
of cotton and his own provisions. To do the sane
Gorkin frdis, it required three weakly Asiatics to
he acre. Mr Ter y was sent up to the Bundiecund
listricts, near the bare of the Himalaya Mountains.
-Vhen he reached this locality he planted, near the
close oftheraniy seasor, 1,009 acres in cotton Ti e
plant came up grew well, bloomed and budded fa
vorably Just at thisstagi of its gowth, the drouth
aet in the heavens seemed turned to brass, not a drop
•rrain fell in ninety days. [‘Not 2u inches as in
Missis-ippi and the Gulf States.’] His plants wither
ed the leaves drie-i up. blossoms tell off the r suit
was that he only gathered fifty pounds ofcotton to the
acre, against about l tKO to 1,» 0 pounds in Missis
's ppi. This course was invariable during five years,
at the end ofw faich time the project was abanuoned.
The report of the Bombay Chamber of C mme ce
for the year 1859-60 contains sou-e interes mg mat er
onthissu'j ct. It concludes— ‘the East India
ny's experiment for the purpose of introduing the adt.valion
of American cotton are now brought to a close. They com
menced in 1788, and have hitherto resulted, notwithstanding
an expenditure of £250, 90 sterling, (81,000,Win) inasig
nalfadure.' Toe climate oi li.dia is an insupeiable
bar to the growth ot the proper variety ofcotton.

try cannot, in any reasonable time, lesson the impor
tance of American cotton. J, E. D.

Extent and Power of the Souths
The Southern Confederacy, as it now exists—
as we consider that Tennessee, North Carolina
and Virginia are, to-day, as much members of
the Confederey as any of the States—has an area
in square miles, and contains a population, as
follows:
Area. Population.
Virginia 61,351 1,596.083
North Carolina 50,704 992,667
South Carolina 29,385 702,812
Georgia 58,000 1,057 327
Florida 59,285.... 140,439
Alabama 50,722 964,296
Mississippi 47,166 791,396
Texas 235,504 601,<‘39
Arkansas 52,198 435.427
Tennessee 45 600.... 1,109,847
T0ta1.... 733,144 9,101,76
The statistics of the other four Southern States
are—
Area. Population
Kentuoky 37,680 1,165,713
Missiouri 67,380 1,173,317
Maryland 11,124 687,034
Delaware
Total 118,304 3,138,281
A united South is, we believe, the inevitable
result of the political convulsions now agitating
the country. Should this be accomplished, the
extent of the Confederacy would be 851,448
square miles, and the population 12.240,047.

Hi imas °
Headache,
By the use of these’Pills, the periodic attacks of
Nervous or Sick Headache may be prevented; and if ta
ken attne commencement of an attack immediate
relieffrom pain and sirkness may be obtained.
They seldom fail in removingthe Aausea and Head
ache to which females are subject.
They act gently upon the bowels—removing Cos
tmeness.
For Literary .Wen, Students, Delicate Females, and
all persons of sedentary habits they are valuable as a
Laxative, improving the app'tite, giving tone and vigor
to the digestive organs, and restoring the natural
elasticity and strength ofthe whole system.
The CEPHALTIC PILLS are the result of long
investigation and carefully conducted experiments,
having been in use many years, during which time
they have prevented and relieved a vast amount of
pain and suffering from Headache, whether origina
ting m the nervous system or from a deranged state
ol the B*vtmck‘,
They are entirely vegetable in their composition,
and may be taken at a', times with pertect safety
without making any change of diet, and the absence of
any disagreeable taste renders it easy to administer them to
children.
