K. H. PUfIUE, Publisher Daily Press, Augusta, It*. jJSt- Our country cotemporaries will con fer a favor by giving the above a few inser tions. MANUFACTURING. To show unniistakablv the importance ol devoting more att >ition lo.cotton manufacturing at the couth, it is only necessary to refer to the immense profit resulting from the investment in cotton factories in Lowel'. The aggregate capi tal invested hv her ten large companies is stated at $53,000,000. The Hiuount of cotton consumed is one hundred thousand bales; the number of yards produced, exclusive-of yarns, something over a hundred millions ; and the num ber of operatives is twelve thousand. The operatives are mostly women and girls. It would require at least thirty thousand field laborers to raise this cot ton, and yet it is converted into yarn and cloth hv twelve thousand operatives. The process for manufacturing the cot ton about doubles its value, and the avirage dividends declared by these companies is thirty-three pet cent. When we consider the saving in freight, and t'io advantage which the local buyer h is over the agent tor companies, it ii manifest that, with the same efficient management here which characterizes the Lowell companies, a profit ot nearly fifty per cent, could be realized on the investment. This leaves out of view the general advantage resulting from s ich enterprises —increasing our popula tion, erecting local markets, and diversi tying industrial pursuit. It is strange that the manufacturers of Europe are not induced to tranaler some ot their capital to the South. They would thus out Hank the tariff imposed for the bene fit of Eastern inariulacturers, and save the immense amount expended on freight and charges. The above, which we find in an ex change, without credit, is worthy of the most serious consideration of our citi. zeus, as well as of Northern and foreign capitalists. The truth is, there is not a more inviting field for capital and enter prise than the South presents at this time. Iler soil, her climate, her forests, her fields, her mines, her quarries, her hidden resources ol various kinds, ali stand ready to pay tribute to the honest and peisistent laborer, to the enterpris ing worker, to the liberal capitalist. To all such a warm and hearty welcome will be given, and perfect safety troin injury or insult guaranteed. Where our own people ean furnish the capital and the labor, they should do so at once. Let politics alone. Wc have no polities of our own. We are in the hands of the North, so far as poli tics is concerned. Let us abandon that worthless and profitless discussion, then, and seek the improvement of our sec tion, our State, our country, or our com munity, by all the means which we have. And where we tail in these, let us give every encouragement to the Northern and foreign capitalist, laborer, and me chanic. We have a country to build up, ruined fortunes to repair, widows and orphans '.o feed. Let us attend to these ; and when the time conies for us to be restored to our political rights, we shall be in a better condition to enjoy them. Vermont Election.—The Jacobins have been crowing very lustily over the result of the Vermont election—a State so clearly Jacobin that no effort was made in it, and nothing expected. It turns out that she is not as deeply im mersed in Radicalism as at first sup posed : witness the Tribune's figures : ISB6. 1865. Dillingham 26.671 27,686 Davenport '..16,442 8,867 The Jacobin majority in 18G5 was 18,74!). In is 10,229, a loss of 8,000. The Anti-Jacobin vote has nearly doubled, while the Jacobin is nearly sta tionary. Aoitti vltckal. —The Floridians are organizing Comity Agricultural and Horticultural Societies, and upon the basis of these they expect to build a Slate Society. PRIME MEXICO. We feel considerable interest in the uflairs of Mexico, particularly since the establishment of thi) Umpire, believing, as we have always since done, that that form of govern ineut is the best suited to the people and exigencies of that coun try. There are some who desire to see the Republic reestablished, and are con tinually predicting the downfall of the Empire, and tlio return of Maximilian to Europe. These predictions may even' tually come true. Indeed, we should not be at all surprised if they did ; for the people of that country are so torn up and divided by political dissensions, and the ambition of designing dema gogues and political and military aspi rants, that to establish good order and good government there must prove a most difficult work. If, however, as the correspondent of the Galveston (Texas) News justly observes, Maximilian is let alone by the United States, he is abun dantly able to cement the bonds of bis government, and crush out the opposi tion of the so-called Republicans. It is a matter of little consequence what the form of government is called f so that it subserves tile ends for which all good government is intended, viz : protection to life and limb, liberty ami property ; the right of conscience, and the pursuit of happiness. If Maxiinil iau is let alone, he must eventually suc ceed in establishing his government firmly and securely, and it it fulfills the ends which we have enumerated, why interfere with it, merely to erect a name or empty form in its stead? Let us by all means give Miximilian a fair trial and an open field. The following from a City of Mexico correspondent of the Galveston (Texas) News , to whom we have already allud and, will serve to show that there are two sides to a story, and that the Empire is not entirely exhausted, as the correspon dents of some Northern journals would have us believe: It is our opinion that if Maximilian is only let nlone by the United States, he is abundantly able, with the material right at his hand in this country, to ce ment the bonds of his government, and in the next year or two, crush out what little opposition the Juarists are able to oppose against him. ***** His Majesty now has an army of at least 50,000 able soldiers, extending nearly from end of the Empire to the other; blit we think, unfortunately, this army is a very heterogenous mass, com posed of French, Austrians, Mexicans, Egyptians, Turks, Arabs, Negroes, and a slight sprinkling ot nearly all other nationalities. This variety may be an advantage, but it does not so strike us. We think probably it is more the result of necessity than of an advantage. The Emperor is now busily engaged in or gatiizing new regiments of infantry and cavalry, composed entirely of native Mexicans, and it is said that they are rapidly joining as volunteers. Conscrip lion was threatened some time since, but was not enforced. A terror of conscrip tion may induce volunteering—we are unable to say. This same correspondent says that Gen. Magruder characterizes the asser tion that he had written a letter predict ing the speedy downfall of the Imperial Government, as •*an unmitigated false hood from begititling lo end." A Convention of Capitusts.—The Richmond Dispatch takes this view of the situation : If the Radicals succeed in the Fall elections, Congress will undertake to impeach the President next Winter. The President does not believe that the House of Representatives, as at present constituted, has any right or power to present articles of impeach ment against him, nor that the Senate can constitutionally try him. Congress, therefore, will not be al lowed by the President to impeach him. We take this for granted. He will not surrender his position at the bidding of a body which he firmly and conscien tiously believes to be unconstitutional in its organization and revolutionary in its tendency. Congress, however, professes to be lieve that it lias an undoubted right to impeach the President, and remove him from office. That body, therefore, will be likely to insist upon what it considers to be its rights. A conflict will be inevitable under the circumstances. The President will call upon the military for support. Gen erals S teed ilia n, Sherman, Fullerton, Custar, Dix, Wool, and hundreds of others of the best generals in the army will unquestionably rally to tbe support of the President. An equally large number will support the pretensions of Congress. Civil war cannot well be avoided, unless one party or the other to this conflict shall surrender its posi tion. The bonds and treasury notes of the United States would become worth less as soon as such a conflict had been begun. Capitalists are therefore deeply interested in preventing so de plorable an event. If the Radicals shall be defeated in the Fall elections in the Northern States, there will in that case be no danger of a disturbance of the peace of the country. That this desirable result can be. brought about if White Corn proper efforts be made, there is some reason to hope. It ia believed that the. capita ists have both tba will and power, by combining their influence, to defeat the Radicals at the coming elections. We propose, therefore, that the capi* taliats of the country hold a convention et an early day, and agree upon a plan of combined action. They can exercise a powerful influence upon the voters of the North. Let them coaiidcr’the pro position.
