pipping.— We have board a great deal
„bout this filthy practice, mnch in vogue
Long Milieu (!) tnany of the Southern
* hut have never seen the process de
■i.fd until we met with the following in
£ Medical Journals
1 The toilet vocabulary of thia country has
lc l ,me enriched with the new and elegant
~rd “ dipping ’’ A lady or a miss chews
> end <>f n stick until she converts it into
kind of brush or fibrous mop, which she
then proceeds to dip into snuff, with
~'ich s he rubs her teeth and gums. At

entle hand, but becoming enamored, at
] a3t touches so deeply as to consume a liot
tle of snuff in a week. Whole families and
whole schools of gills ore said, with a small
number of cleanly exceptions, to he given
tii this method of tit ill •< ting their nervous
sterns; and many, by the time they are
fjll irrntvn, have become so thoroughly
impregnated with the powder, that theirnp
arel might hang in a hot room the whole
summer, without being touched by the
moths. We know of but two advantages
from this habit. Ist. It may render them

grammar, 2d. It can be made a substitute
fur whiskey (now falling into discredit) by
those who are in affliction. Thus we are
(o ],l by a gentleman, that he lately saw a
mother seated at the bedside of her expir

table among bis medicine, into which she
plunged her “dipper” as often ns she sighed;
•nid when the tears of grief rolled down her

saliva from the comers of her month.
It seems hard-hearted to condemn a cus
tom fraught with such comforts; but we are
compelled t” ay that it is not without many
opposing effects. fn our inquiries into the
diseases of (he sex in the South, we have
already collected satisfactory evidence that
•dipping” is the cause of some and an ag
gravation of many more. We (night refer
til its effect on tlieir breath, complexion and
cleanliness, but this we shall h ave in (he
hands of the gentlemen who are immedi
ately interested.
Calico Po inting. —A cot respondent of the
Rochester Democrat, who writes from Pio
vidence, Rhode Island, gives a btief ami in
teresting history of calico printing in the
United States. The first effort* of the art
was made by a company in Taunton, Mas
sachusetts, mi 1525, when calicoes were
from three to six times their present price
Tlris |tiuneer etilerpiize failed, luit other
manufactories started up. The gradual de
cline of duties on foreign prints after 1532.
affected the prosperity of the American
works, hut they took a fresh start under the
last tariff. The revival of business has giv
en them-new vigor, end the number of ma
chines now in operation is one hundred and
twenty, in 1 S3!i, over 150,000,000 yards
of calicoes were imported. Last year the
importations fell off to 15,000,000 yaids,
while the American prints made in ISI2,
icached the enormous amount of 155.025,-
000 yards, worth $14,000,000. The eapita
cin ployed in all branches of the business is
not far from $5,000,000. The tables are
now turned, Wtd instead of importing, the
United States are beginning to expott cali
coes, In quality, the domestic article will
fairly compete with the foreign.
The progress of the manufacture of our
own cotton bagging, is very cheering. Our
philters very generally give a preference to
the domestic article, for two reasons ; it is
heavier than the Scotch bagging, and it will
pack much more to the yard. A hale was
purchased in town last week which weigh
ed 54V lbs. although packed in less than five
yards. It is sold in large quantities as low
as IS cents, and this is less then good hemp
bagging can lie purchased for. The Ath
ens Factory sells freely nil they make, and
the Princeton Factory sold, last week, up
vvatds of 0,000 yds. There is no doubt hut
all that has been made at all ofoui factories,
will lie readily sold. The amount manu
factured in the State this year exceeds 200
thousand yards. This will absorb 400
thousand pounds of cotton, and keep in the
State 40,000 dollars. The more we make
at home of domestic products, the more
will the wealth of the State he increased,
the higher will lie the average rate of wages,
the more will we be free from those perilous
and disastrous changes, resulting from the
production of only one nr two commodities,
and the more will the general prosperity of
every individual in tire community, be in
creased.
We hope the day will soon come when
all our cotton goods, will he made at home,
and when'our factories will not be confin
ed to the coarser articles of Osnabut'gs and
Cotton bagging. — Southern Banner .
A second Sampson. — Monsieur Gitillof,
who is attached to the Circus of Nicholas &
Cos., now performing in Detroit, Michigan,
exhibits the most astonishing feats of strength
ever witnessed since the day Sampson walk
ed off with the gates of Gaza on his shoul
ders. He dances with a cannon weighing
100 lbs. on his shoulders, and suffer it to be
discharged 5 nut draws two horses, breaks
a thirty-strand rope ns easily as Sampson of
old snapped the chords with which the
Philistines had bound him ; raises six .>G!b.
weights by his hair; bends an iron ermv-bar
by striking it ugainst his naked arm, and
permits a cannon, weighing nine hundred
pounds, to he placed upon bis breast and
discharged! He is capable of sustaining
and carrying two thousand six bundled
pounds weight! He is a native of France,
aud wriglts only ISO lbs.
The N. Y. Journal of Commerce in *n
article on “Wool,” expresses the opinion
that the time will soon come when we shall
be a wool-exporting country to such an ex
tent that a protective duty on Wool will be
about as efficient as a similar duty on im
ported Cotton now is, and no more so.
“ The great west is coming, the Jour
nal well adds, “with her immense prairies
admirably adapted to sheep— and she will
soon deluge the country with wool, sheep
skins, aud sheep’s-heads, as she now does
with hogs, bacon, pork, lard,lard-oil, swine s
carpeting, apd swine's snouts.”
When the young Queer, of Phillip IV,
of Spain, was on her way to Madrid there
for the first time to behold a husband
whom she had married without ever having
seen him, 6he passed through a little town
in Spain, a famous manufactory of gloves
and stockings. The magistrates of the
town though, they could not better express
their joy, on the arrival'of their new Queen,
than by presenting bet with a sample of
those manufactures for Which their town
was so celebrated. The Major Domo who
conducted the Princess received the gloves
very graciously ; but when the stockings
were presented he. flung them nwny with
great indignation, and severely repiboun
ded the magistrates for having been guilty
of the egregious indecorum and indecency
of offering such a ptesent. “ Know, ” said
he “that a Queen of Spain, has no let's.”—
The young Queen, who at this time under
stood the Spanish langnacre hut imperfectly
and who had often been frightened with sto
ries of Spanish jealousy, imagined that
when slip arrived at Madrid they would pro
ceed immediately to cut her legs off; just
as the Chinese render their women cripples
to keep them at home, and preserve them
from being exposed to temptation.
As the young Queen wsr altogether too
fond of motion to he willing to part with
her legs, she fell a crying, and begged the
Major Domo to conduct hei hack to Germa
ny, protesting most seriously that she nev
er could endure the operation. It was not
without great difficulty and after many te
dious explanations, that her attendants
could appease her. Philip IV. is said ne
ver in his life to have laughed heartily hut
once, and that was when this storv of his
new bride was first told him.
“A Teuxpcrajtce Story." —Two young
men, “ with a humming in their heads,” re
tire lnte at night to tlieii room in a crowd
ed inn ; in which, as they entpr, are reveal
ed two beds; hut the wind extinguishing
the light, they both, instead of taking, as
they supposed, a lied apiece, got hack to
| hack into one, which begins to sink under
them and come around at intervals in a man
ner very circumambient hut quite impossi
ble of explication. Presently one observes
l< the other :
“ 1 say, Tom, somebody’s in my bed.”
“ Is there ?” says the other ; “ so there is
in mine, d—tii him ! Let’s kick ’em out!”
The next remark was :
“ Tom, I’ve kicked my man overboard.”
“Good I” says his fellow toper; “better
luck than I; my mail Las kicked me out —
light on the floor 1”
Their “ relative positions” were not ap
parent until the next morning.
Suicide by Caroline IT 7 . Dufrey .—-Oo r lo
cal reports seldom contain so strange a ro
mance, ns that of Saturday. This miserable
woman so far away fromfi tends and father
laud, deserted by the husband she loved,
neglected, all hope gone, gave herself up
todosjrair. She directed all the arrange
ments of her burial, paying Irefore hand all
her debts—forgiving, even him who had de
serted tier, and praying for his happiness.
She wrote the not ice of her death in the pa
pers, nod thoughtful of distant friends, add
ed “ Virginia papers please copy.” She
inscribed he coffin plate, and laid out her
shroud, aud then took arsenic ! It is an af
fecting domestic tragedy.— -AT. Y. Sun.
The Sugar Crop. — Relative to the pres
ent crop we make the following extract of
a letter from Bayou Lafourche: “The
cane, in consequence of an unfavorable sea
son, has not obtained its usual size at this
period oft he year. The greater part of it
has hut a few joints, and there is every rea
son to believe that it will yield hut very lit
tle. The crop is rated at oue-third less
than last year.”
He's caught a Tartar." —ln some bat
tle between the Russians and the Tartars,
who are a wild sort of people in the north
part of Asia, a private soldier called out
“ Captain, hallo there ! I’ve caught a Tar
tar!” “ Fetch him along, then!” said the
captain. “ Ay, but lie won’t let me !” said
the man ; and the fact was, the Tartar had
caught him. So when a man thinks to take
another in and sets bit himself, they say
‘He’s caught a Tartar!’’
Punch says be knows a man who is so
fat that they grease wagon wheels with his
shadow. The Microscope editor says he is
acquainted with a Dutchman who is so -
common fat, that his family use his voice to
burn instead of lard oil ; and when be gets
his dander up his words hunt more brilliant
than camphine oil. We know of a gal so
darn'd fat that it is difficult to approach hei
without slipping up.

MADISON, GEO :
Saturday, September 30, INI3.
Post masters will confer a favor by
sending ns the returns of the elections as
soon as they can he ascertained.
We would call the attention of our
readers to the Temperanco matter on our
fourth page.
THF. ELECTION.
Well, on next Monday the sovereigns of
Georgia will he called upon to decide, not
only’ who they will have to reign over them,
hut who shall represent them in the Cott
gtessof the Nation and in the Councils of
the State. . Just about now, the political
editors tell us, is an important crisis, and it
is truly hanowing to read their patriotic ap
peals to the constituency of the country. —
The last argument has been advanced, the
hist lie has been told, and whether it has
been “ trumped” or not, it must go for what
it is worth—and now they have only one g last
rallying word to say to the dear people for
whose rights and liberties they feel such a
lively sympathy! To the polls! to the
polls! say they —come up to the support of
your ancient principles, and-your long tried
and trusty friends ! Freemen of Georgia,
your lil>erties aie in danger !—come to the
rescue! And then it would make the hair
stand on end, and the blood to curdle, to
read of the ruin that is threatening the
country, nnd which must inevitably full up
on it, if the patriot yeomanry do not come
to the rescue ! We would not lull your
fears, render—wc verily believe the times
are despef. Tt is a crisis ! But we are de
barred the privilege, enjoyed by ourbreth
i®n of the political press, of making those
direct appeals to you in favor of the spe
cial doctrines we entertain. We may cal!
to the resF-tte, but we mustn’t say who—we
may urge you to vote, but we mustn’t say
for what candidate —we may say the liber
ties of tbe country arc in danger, but we
mustn’t say front tvbat principles. We
may stir you tip as we would thrust a pole
into a bee-gum, but we must not stir up our
particular friendstn particular. Therefore,
we will spare our eloquence, for though vve
might “ stir the veiy stones of Home to mu
tiny,” we would probably rally at the polls
as many political enemies as friends, nnd
thus do our favorites as much harm as good.
If it were not for the neutrality of the
“ Miscellany,” which wc are plodged, yon
know, to maintain, we might “ put a bug in
your ear” about this very election. As it
is, wc can, and will say this much to you,
let the consequences l>e what they may :
We shall vote for the gentleman of nur
choice for Governor, on Monday next, be
cause he professes and advocates principles,
the predominance of which wc believe to be
of vital impoitance to the prosperity of the
country, and vve shall vote for two gentle
men to represent us in. Congress, and four
to represent our county in the State Legis
lature, for the same reasons ; and wc would
not cast our vote for the individuals holding
the opposite doctrines, not to save their
feelings—no, nor for any other considera
tion. We vote for principles, reader. We
hope you go for the same. If you don’t, we
will not take it amiss if you don’t vote at all !
COTTON MARKET.
The new crop begins to come in briskly,
for which the prices have tended upwards
during the past week. We cannot give our
country friends a better idea of the market
than by giving them a report of tbe sales.—
The sales of the week ending Fiiday (yes
terday) evening, 29th iustunt, amount to 336
bales, as follows—2 bales at 5 cents, 11 at
6, I at CJ, 3 at 6s, 6 at 7, 11 at 7J, 19 at 7£,
33 at 7jj, 2S at
S;J, 10 ut BJ, 4at 8 ! |, and 75 hales at prices
within the range of tbe foregoing but which
have not transpired.
We congratulate our planters on the ad
vance in the price of our great staple. It is,
indeed, time that the prospects of our peo
ple should brighten, and that the producer
should receive something like an adequate
return for his lubor. The cfop in Georgia,
too, will be better this year than was at first
anticipated. From all accounts Georgia
will come nearer an average crop than ei
ther of the other cotton growing States. In
Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Caro
lina there will be a great falling off, and tbe
accounts of the late storm in Florida state
that one half of the crop will probably be
lost. Good prices and no Central Bank
| money should cheer our planters after their
j long night of despondency. •
Our dry goods merchants are daily receiv-
ing their fresh stocks of goods, and our gro
cery merchants at the Depot are prepared
to supply the demands of the planter:—
Heavy stocks are already in store, and eve
ry article in the line is afforded at prices as
low as they can be bad in any other market.
(£7* The editor of the “ Athens Whig”
endeavors to apologize for the publication
of the “ Abolition scheme” in his paper, of
which vve expressed our disapprobation in
a former number of the “ Miscellany,” by
stating that “ it first appeared in New Or
leans in pamphlet foim. and was spoken of
in the highest terms by the ‘ Picayune.*”—
Thia is just such an excuse as vve should ex
pect from just such a booby. Like the boy
vvho tattoed himself with poke-berries, he
finds his excuse in the important fact that,
“ Bill, he done so too”—a poor rule for the
exercise of editorial discretion.
The article alluded to by us as objection
able, was a long and particular account of a
plan devised by some pious slave owner in
New Orleans, by which his slaves were en
abled to purchase their freedom by theirown
labor. First he gave them Saturday after
noon to labor for themselves, when, on dis
covering that they worked much harder
when working for themselves than when la
boring for him, he proposed that they should
devote the proceeds of tbe halfday which
was tlieir own to the purchase of the other
part of the day. By a calculation lie was
enabled to inform them that in about eight
years they could make themselves owners
of one whole day in the six. This would
enable them in a much less time to purchase
another day. when they would have two
days to work for themselves—with the two
days they could soon earn another, nnd with
three the fourth, arid so on till they purchas
ed the entire six, when be pledged himself
to set them free. The negroes eegeily en
tered into the arrangement, and in less than
fourteen years purchased the freedom of
themselves and children and were sent to
Liberia. The whole scheme was kept a
profound secret until its accomplishment.
Now, to the simple detail of the scheme
we would have made no objection, though
vve believe a Georgia editor with an ounce
of brains could have found matter better
adapted to onr meridian, with which to fill
his columns. But vve do object to the glow
ing details of the progress of this philanthro
pic plan for tiie emancipation of slaves, in
which the writer of the article iu question so
profusely indulges. No one can read the
comments of tbe writer—iu which lie ex
presses the hope that lhe plan will he gen
erally adopted by the slaveholdersof the South
—and scan hi* arguments, without coming
to the conclusion tint tbe entire article isn
reflection upon our institutions, unworthy of
currency in a southern print. Considering
it in this light, vve expressed our surprise
that even lhe editor of tbe “ Athens Whig”
should he stupid enough to give it place in
his columns. But, he says that a New Or
leans editor “ done so too.”
O’/ 55 ” We have been presented with a half
dozen beautiful though rather smajl peach
es. the second growth from a tree in the
garden of our townsman Dr. John Wing
field. These are the first of the second crop
which we remember to have seen grown to
maturity. We have on one or two occa
sions, within tlie past two weeks, sat down
with rather sad mttsings to what we suppos
ed to lie the last treat of our favorite fruit
for the season—for to us there is something
melancholy in the reflection that vve are eat
ing the last peach, though we can see the
last vvatermellon pitched to the hogs without
a thought—but if the trees have taken it in
to their branches to hear its another crop of
such peaches as those now before us, we
will have no need to pine at the thought that
the peach season is over, at least while they
last.
DISASTROUS STORM IN FLORIDA.
The late Florida papers ore filled with
accounts of a most destructive tornado,
which has laid waste lnrge portions of the
country, and destroyed many lives. The
storm was severely felt in Middle Florida,
vvhero houses were blown down, and the
crops of cotton prostrated to the ground,
but on the coast the destruction of property
nnd loss of life was truly appalling. At St.
Marks and Port Leon the ware-houses were
all destroyed and the citizens compelled to
seek shelter front the rising tide, which tose
to the tops of many of the houses, in boats.
TheLight-houseatDoglbland has disappear
ed, and tho one near the mouth of the St.
Marks, though still standing, has been par
tially undermined and otherwise injured.—
Some idea of the force of the gale, which
occurred in the night and was accompanied
with a heavy fall of rain, may be gathered
from the fact that od one plantation near
Tallahassee, the gitt-liousc was blown away
with some thirty thousand pounds of cotton
in the seed, and five bales, just packed, de
stroyed. The plantation fences have been
carried nwny, and the largest pines, blown
up by tiie roots, strew the country, so that
•lie roads are impossable. We have seen
no estimate of tiie loss of property. Up
wards of twenty lives are said to have been
lost.
Truly has this devoted Territory been
visited with a heavy hand. War, pestilence,
conflagration and storms moke up the page
of her history forth® past seven years.
; 4 ‘THE FOREIGN NEWS.
By tbe Caledonia, which arrived at Bos
ton on the 20th, files of London and Liver
pool papers to the sth instant have been re
ceived, by which we learn that a considera
ble advance and increased demand had ta
ken place in the Cotton market. The sales
for the last week having averaged 6000 bales
per day. Parliament was prorogued on the
24th August by the Queen in peison. Her
speech is an ordinary doll-baby
in which the little puppet is made to utter
the sentiments of the ministry in charge of
iier for the time being. She, as usunj, ex
presses her thanks to the Lords for their co
operation and support, and the Commons
for their liberal vote of supplies. In tefor
ence to the Irish repeal agitation, sho says,
“ it is my firm determination, with your sup
port, and under the blessing of Divine Prov
idence to maintain inviolate that great bond
of connection between the two countries.”
Queen Victoria’s visit to France, Which
took place on the 2d instant, has excited
much interest, both in France and England.
The presses of both countries are filled witli
speculations on the subject, it being the first
occasion upon which the Sovereigns of the
two countries have mot under similar cir
cumstances for upwards of three centuries.
The last meeting of a like nature took place
upon the field of the Cloth of Gobi, between
Henry VIII. and Francis 1., which, it will
be remembered, was followed two years af
terwards by a war between England and
France* The reception of the British Queen
and her suite by the King and Queen of the
French, at Eu, is described as being quite
a splendid affair, the magnificent extrava
gance of which must have been very gratify
ing to the thousands of poor servile, famish
ed wretches Who give their sweat and blood
to uphold the pride and glory of their res
pective monarchß. When will the breed of
such men run out 1
The Repeal movement is still progress.
At a meeting of the association held on the
21st August, Mi. O’Coimell presented his
“ plan for the renewed action of the Irish
Parliament.” By this plan the Irish nation
“insist upon the restoration of the Irish
House of Commons, consisting of 300 rep
resentatives of the Irish people,” pledgiug
themselves to “ preserve the privileges, her
editary a’txl personal of the Peers of Ireland,
together with the legislative and judicial au
thority of the Irish House of Lords,” and to
“ recognize, acknowledge, maintain, pre
serve and uphold upon the throne of Ire
land her Majesty, Queen Victoria, her heirs
and successors fur ever.” The Monarch de
facto of England to be Monarch de jure of
Ireland. Mr. O'Connell had received sev
eral letters from repeal associations in Amer
ica remitting money—among the rest, one
containing ,£25 from Harper’s Ferry, Vir
ginia. This, be Raid, lie considered voty
gratifying, as showing that the course he had
taken in regard to Ameticsn slavery had
not diminished the sympathy of the friends
of Ireland in America. At a subsequent
meeting, held on the 27th, a lettler was re
ceived from the Repealers of Ohio, contain
ing <£loo. The writer stated that slavery
did not exist in Ohio, but argued the impos
sibility of getting rid of the institution which
could not be abolished without violating the
fundamental laws and national compact of
the Union. The letter expressed the sur
prise of the Repealers of Ohio at the speech
of Mr. O’Connell on this subject, and as
sured him of their entire disapprobation of
his course. After the reading of the letter,
I O’Connell observed that as slavery did not
exist in Ohio, they could not object to receiv
ing the money, and then went on in a tirade
of abuse against slaveholders and the wri
ters of the letter, which he said must be spe
cially answered. “ Let Ireland but obtain
her legislative independence,” said he, “and
we will have missionaries pleaching in eve
ry region where slavery degrades the human
race.”
Bennett, of the “ Herald,” is out in the
“ London Times” in a iong article agoinst
tho great Agitator, whom he roundly abuses
for the insult offered to his editorship at the
Dublin Corn Exchange. He attributes
O’Connell’s brutal conduct, as he calls it, to
the bad feeling be entertains towards the ed
itor of the “ New York Herald” for expos
ing the designs of the repeal agitators up,<yi
the institutions of this country. lie says his
paper was instrumental in stopping the
“ rint” from America, and for .’nis reason
Mr. O’Connell insultingly refused to recog
nize him on the occasion alluded to. We
consider the parties about opon a par—the
two greatest humbugr, of the age—and that
if they would make a Kilkenny fight of it,
the two continents would hardly desire the
heavens hung in black for their loss.
CT 5 * Tho New-York Express says, the
stock of cotton in that market is not more
than sufficient to supply oat own manufac
tures for six or eight weeks. The consump
tion is believed to he about eight thousand
bags a week. Now, if this consumption
did not exist, where would the prices be at
the present time I The manufactures come
in and afford great support to the market.
The Southern planter is greatly benefited
by this domestic demand, and it at times
sustains the market when it would other
wise decline.

wards of two hours in Covington, ffetUHietf
in the evening stage and delivered another
of one hour and a half to a large audience
in our Court-HouSe. Yesterday lie atten
ded a barbecue, about seven miles from
this place, Where he addressed the people.
We had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Ste
phens on Thursday night, and but that we
might he suspected of indulging political
preferences aud opinions—which would be
a mortal sin in a neutral editor—we would
give our readers what we believe to be the
prevailing opinion of his effort. We will,
perhaps, be allowed to say that, as a public
speaker, Mr. S. ranks with the first orators
of the day, and that on the occasion alluded
to, if he did not obtain respect for tbe doc
trines and opinions he advocated, it wss not
for the want of eloquence in theif enfofee
ment or documentary proofs to sustain them.
Since writing the above we have seen
several individuals who were present at the
barbecue yesterday, from whom we learn
that Mr. Stepbcus was replied to in an elo
quent and spirited speech, by W. Vasou,
Esq., a distinguished member of the New
Orleans bar, and that au animated and inter
esting discussion ensued, in which both gen
tlemen acquitted themselves with great cred
it and much to the satisfaction of their res
pective friends. We exceedingly regret
that our duties would not permit us to be
prescut.
(O” Wilmer's&Smith’s Liverpool Times,’
of the sth instant, contains the following in
teresting commercial summary :
“ The last few days have witnessed un
common animation in tbe Liverpool Cotton
Market, produced by the unfavorable ac
counts which came to hand on Wednesday,
by the Acadia, respecting the new crop.—
On the arrival of the news also at Havre,
the cotton market was thrown into great ac
tivity. A considerable advance has heeir
the result, and an enormous amount of husi
ness has been transacted. Apart from litis,’
however, business genet ally wears a more
healtby appearance than it has done for
some time past, and confidence is reviving.
During the last week Cotton, to the en
ormous quantity of 63,000 hales, has chang
ed hands—half on speculation, the other
half to the trade. Prices, in some instan
ces, have advanced as much as a farthing, in
every instance an eighth per lb. which ma
king every allowance for the news brought
by the steamer, is considered somewhat ex
traordinary, when there is at present on
hand a stork very little short of a million if
bales. Contemporaneous with the Acadia’s
advices, the manufacturing districts have
been experiencing a revival, and both cir
cumstances have transpired to produce that
extraordinary excitement, in the market
which has just been witnessed. The trade
of, Manchester is at the present moment in
a slate of greater activity than it has been
for some years past; and all the monthly
circulars published in that town descrilna
the activity to be general. .But the im
provement is not confined lo Cotton alone
—the Woolen. Iron, and other trades have
received an impetus, Foreign orders, from,
various pans of the world, are roming in j
but wbut is still-better, as indicating a per
manent improvement, the home trade is its
a far more prosperous state.
This favorable state of affairs is the re
sult of extensive orders from Russia, fa-.
dis, the Levant, and Germany, while the ac
counts of English manufactured goods re-’
ceived from the United States, especially
tho southern parts, are said lo be etitoHror
ing.”
