The report of the Oommiaaiooer of
Census presents a wonderful exhibit of
the progress of the maimiatturing inter
ests of the nation. Comparative tables
are tarnished in the Commissioner's re
port, from wbioh we glean tha following
figures, showing tile mannfactaring in
terests of Georgia:
In I860 Georgia had 1,622 manafae-
torieg establishments and employed
8,308 hauda. These establishment! o il
invested (6,166,183 and paid annually
for wages (1,70!),604. The materials
consumed annually amounted to 03,404,-
017, and the value of the productions
reached (7,082,076.
In 1860 we had 1890 mannfaotnring
establishments, an increase of 338 over
I860. Tuero ware 11,676 hands employ
ed, an iuorease of 3 207. The amount
of capiUl invest'd was (10.890,876, an
inerease of (6,134,392, or uearly double.
(2,926,143 were paid for wages. Tho
value of the materials consumed was
(9,936,532, or nearly three times as
much us was ooutumed in 1860, while
the value of materials produced was
816.935,561 against (7,082 J75 in 1860.
In 1870, leaving ail aiming and quar
rying atuliatios, we had 3,836 manufac
turing establishments The ettsbluii-
menta are driven by 106 staam engines
of 16,826 horse power and 1,729 water
wheel* of 27,117 berse power. The in
vestment in these manufactories amonnU
to (13,930,126, and they employ 18,871
bands who are annually paid for their
labor (4,811.508. The value of the ma
teriel annually consumed ia (18,683,731
and the value ot the productions (31,-
196,116.
Thus, it will be seen, notwithstanding
five years of the moat temole end ex
hausting war, by wbioh the manufactur
ing interests of the entire South were
paralyzed, and many Georgia manufacto
ries oonaumed, during the last decode we
bave built 1,916 lactone*, morn then.es
S again as we bad in 1860, while the
iota of these factories hen increased
(16,926,661 in 1860 to (31,196,116
in 1870. This is not on y nn enoonrag-
ing bat * higfly creditable exhibit, and
should give an impetus to one Slate in
the ooming ten years that will pot it far
in advance of a l her tutor States of the
Booth. Then css be no doubt that we

are a little leas tbun atrocious. While

without qualification, we have heard a

it is a very readable book, oouceived in
the loftiest purposes, the story artiatio
ally oonstrnotea, and the whole written
in a style of graoelol naturalness and

mate of tne work, and did it posses* no
other meric than its elevated Ch istiun
spirit, its lofty views of practical life, its
development of the si crets of domestic
