SOU!HERN MANUFACTURES-
The Future of the South in the Pro
duction of Textile Fabrics-
To the Elitor of the N. Y. World:
Silt:—Of the 4,000,000 bales of cotton
raised at the South but a small fraction is
manufactured .on the spot. It is sent to
the Northern and Eastern States or
Europe, from which much of it is again
■. c diipp'-U, to t^ie^ Sojitli nuinufMatured,
into fabrics of various kinds. Why the
South should not largely develop her cot
ton manufacturing interests and enter into
successful competition with Northern
and British mills is a question which has
been of late much debated by both the
planting and the industrial classes. She
has ahundance-of water power throughout
the cotton belt to manufacture a large
portion of her crop. Wherever mills have
been erected with economy and managed
with intelligence they have paid higher
returns on the capital invested than any
other form of enterprise in which tiie
money could have been embarked, yield
ing from 15 to 2-5 per cent, per annum.
So far Georgia, North Carolina and South
Carolina have taken the lead. There are
successful factories at Augusta, Colum
bus, Roswell above Atlanta, Sparta, .Tlil-
ledgcville and Savannah, while a new
one is in process of erection at Atlanta.
In North Carolina we find them at Haw
River Jamestown, Union, Randolph coun
ty, Franklinsvillc, Concord,Rockingham,
Mountain Island and Salem. Many of
these mills have been in operation since
long before the war. Their stocks are
among the very best in the South, and
have stood the test of civil war and po
litical troubles better than any other se
curity. So apparent had become the great
future in store for the cotton manufact ur
ing establishments of tile South and the

, „ | trade throughout the country put a stop
to these plans, which iu one case at least
had been so far matured that the Spragues
of Rhode Island, had purchased the mag
nificent water power near Columbia, S.
C. Notwithstanding the great want of
caoital in the South there are at present
building several new mills m North Caro
lina. It has been objected that the South
lias no market for ail the coarse sheetings
and varus she now manufactures; that the
greater part of her manufactured goods
are shipped to New York for a market
where they come in competition with the
product of the Now England mills. Gran
ted. This is ail additional proof, if any
were wanting, of the practical success ol
the existing Southern cotton mills. Be
sides furnishing tlmir immediate neigh
borhood with coarse cotton sheeting and
yarns, they ere enabled in this line, to
compete successfu'ly in open market, at
the North with the oldest established
mills iu the country.
Let tlie South abandon the theory of
direct trade, which, if ever accomplished,
will be the result of the development of
her manufacturing interests in cotton,
wool and iron, the opening up of copper
mines, coal mines and slate quarries. All
she wants tq compete successfully with
New England in the production of the
higher grades of cotton goods is the in
troduction of a certain amount of skilled
labor among the present operatives. When
we remember the wonderful changes
which of late years have marked the course
of trade in connection with the supply of
cotton goods, it seems reasonably certain
that much Northern capital will find its
way South, to profit by the great advan
tages which must accrue from the manu
facturing ol cottou on the spot where it
grows. Some fifty years ago most of the
coarse cotton goods used in tliis country
were manufactured in the East Indies and
shipped to us from Calcutta and Bombay.
Now we send those same fabrics, the
coarser kinds, from New England to the
East,being enabled in some lines of goods
to copete with the British manufacturer.
Who shall say that before twenty-five
years have passed away most of our cot
ton mills will not be found in the South
besides the cotton fields, enjoying virtu
ally a monopoly of the manufacture of
cqjton iu this country 7 ? A\ e trust long
before that time to see our cotton goods
compete successfully with those of Eng
land in the world. If we would content
ourselves with the same rewards as the
operative and manufacturer in England
do we should not need to fear the British
manufacturer even now in a large line of
goods.
Financial panics affect the Southern
section of the Union in a comparatively
slight degree, as is ever the case in agri
cultural communities. Broken down mer
chants, speculators and professional men
abandon the cities, go South and AA est,
till the soil aad gain their livelihood by
the sweat of their brows; many of them
become successful farmers and planters.
Each financial crash, so far from retarding
the growth of the South, almost marks a
new era in its development. AY iiile the
merchant, speculator at stock jobber fail
or go into bankruptcy, the agriculturist
pursues the even tenor of his way, raises
his crops, purchased what lie requires

The Mississippi valley contains tvo m'i
lion square miles of territory, and is lar
ger than the whole of Europe excepting
Russia.
Its population is equal to that of Eng
land and Wales, about 22,000,000. The
commerce of the Mississippi is already
three times as large as the whole foreign
commerce of the country. The navigable
waters flowing into the river aggregate
20,000 miles. There are men still living
who remember the time- when nearly the
whole of this vast country was an unin
habited wilderness. AYhat, then, must be
its future? Such wonderful growth can
only be accounted for by the fact that tiie
inhabitants of this part of the county have
found a climate suited to the wants of any
people; soil the richest on the face of the
earth; social, political, educational and
religious advantages that meet the require
ments of the age. A country like this, al
most an empire in itself, should he tribu
tary to no foreign people for all those
manufactures which are of daily consump
tion in every civilized community, and
the raw materials of which form the sta
ple products of her soil. The South has
in her rivers which furnish water power,
in her cottou fields which furnish both
raw material and capacity—in the daily
wants of 23,000,000 of people which furn
ish a home market—all the elements nec
essary for a foundation on which to build
up a vast national manufacturing inlere- t,
the profits of which will go fer to make
ihe people of the South the wealthiest
community on the face of the globe.
In 1870 the capital invested in all me
chanic::! and manufacturing pursuits was
52,118,208.709, while the returns from it
were $4,232,4.25,4-12. On the other hand,
the capital of $9,262,803,851 invested in
farms yielded a return of $2,4-17,543',(55$ !
only. Probably the last, figures are un
derrated. AVe suspect that these AY as
tern farm accounts are not very accurate
ly kept, and that the produce which the
AVestern land owner himself consumes
does not find its way into the balance
slitet. The $2,447,538,658 of agricultural
profits are, we apprehend, simply the re
turn derived l>y these landed proprietors
for wliat they had sold exclusive oi what
they had used. But this hypothesis will
not account for the enormous inequality
between the return on the capital employ
ed in manufacture and that employed in
agriculture. No doubt from the $4,23:),-
090,000 of manufacturing proceeds, wa
nes, rent and expenses of every kind have
to be deducted before we get tiie real pro
fit which goes iiitw the manufacturer’s
pocket. Yet when all reasonable allow
ance has been made for the costs of pro
duction, which we suppose practically not
included in the* returns of the agricultur
ist, while they are included in those of
the manufacturer, there remains a differ
ence which shows us that the manufact
urer does really get a very much larger
per centage of profit on his produce than
the agriculturist obtains on the produce
exchanged for it. How enormous, then,
would be the wealth of that community
which could in itself realize tlie profits of
the agriculturist and the manufacturer on
the colossal scale which it is in the pow
er of the South to do ! They have already
taken the first step in the right direction.
We trust they will continue till entire
success crowns their efforts.

A Corner mBacon-
It is now evident that a combination of
speculators are endeavoring to control the
meat market. This accounts for the sim
ultaneous advance in prices and activity
of the market of all the great cities of the
West. They have run up the price oi
sides about two cents per pound within
the last three days, and may run it up
still higher before the week closes.
There is no good cause foi this advance
founded upon, supply and demand, i he
corners, when they reach their top figures,
will endeavor to keep up prices until they
can sell out,* and their opponents or the
"bear” side will do all that they cun to
bring down prices before the cqrnerers
cun make their pile. The result wiii prob
ably be the bankruptcy of some of the*op-
erators, more suspensions, an aggravation
of the panic, greater tightuessof the money
market, and a further depreciation of the
currency—in all of which evils the people
of the tktuth have to bear a share.
A suggestion made to us by one oi our
orocerv merchants, us to the course which
the farmers of the South ought to pursue
in this emergency, seems to us- disinter
ested and sensible. He thinks that the
rise cannot long be maintained, and that
the wav to break the comer quickest is to
send as' small orders as possible to the
"West for bacon. Let the people of tne
South buy sparingly of bacon until they
see the eiid of this gambling speculation.
If our merchants have to replenish their
stocks at present prices, they must ot
course continue to charge- advanced rates
even after the AVestern markets break.
We believe that thev comprehended that
it is neither to their interest nor to that of
their customers to send heavy orders to
the AVestern cities while the game of tae
bulls and bears is being played. Fortu

Stall-Feeding Cattle-
I have just returned to my home af
ter a trip of between two and three
months in the Northern States, and chief
ly in New England. I hate to own it,
but it is the truth, that in many things
connected with what is called high
farming, they excel us vastly, although
their land is naturally far inferior to
ours, and their growing season is three,
and in some localities, lour months
shorter than ours. I attribute their suc
cess to the value which they put upon
manure, the care they take to collect it.
and the libera'ity with which they ap
ply it to the land. Twenty topping
two-horse wagon loads to the acre, are
not considered an unusually large ap
plication of manure.
The way this large amount of manure
is collected is by stall-feeding their
stock both summer and winter. These
people who practice this system assure
me that it is less expensive in time, la
bor or money, than allowing the skK'k
to.run in pastures, and as they are pro
verbially shrewd and calculate closely,
I am satisfied that they are right, for
were it otherwise they would not con
tinue the practice. They argue that
all the cost of building and repairing of
fences when cattle are pastured is saved
bv the soiling system, that it takes two-
thirds less laud to keep a cow in perfect
condition when stall fed than when she
is pastured, one acre well cultivated and
enriched being ample to produce food
to be consumed in the stall, while three
acres are requisite to pasture a cow dur
ing the grazing'season. in addition to
the extra food which most be given
during the winter. The cattle fed in
this way look sleek and fat. and healthy,
and then the piles of rich manure that
are collected.
With our facility to raise lucerne,
drilled corn and grasses, we certainly
ought to succeed if the people of New
England can do so, and we may take it
for granted that. it will pay. because
they do it. We must redeem our waste
Grant Gives
Horse.
\From an interview with J. Rnetdl Jonee, in
the Chicago Times. ]
Mr. Jones—I shall be the happy pos
sessor of a buggy horse, presented to me
by President Grant, during my recent
visit to Long Branch. 1 expect him to
night, as I received a note from the Pres
ident, from St. Louis, the day before yes
terday, notifying me that unless I claimed
the animal in time il would he sold at the
sale and proceeds appropriated to some
legitimate purpose, and I immediately
sent a man thither witli the order. The
note is a quiet Tgoak” of the President’s,
and refers to a previous horse transaction
I had with him during the war. He had
presented me with tlie horse he rode at
Donulson and Shiloh, and I had been at
considerable expense to bring him to Chi
cago. About this time the Sanitary Fair
was iu progress here, and Mrs. Gen. Sher
man wrote to Gen. Grant for some tro
phy, personally connected with him in
some way, which she cquld put up at raf
fle aud realize largely from, expecting to
receive a sword or someth.;*g of the kind.
Tlie General replied that he hud nothing
suitable about his person, but that the
horse ite had given to me would be just
the thing, as ii had a bloody record, and
suggested to Mrs. Sherman that no doubt
I would cheerfully give it up* Of course
1 had to comply, and the fair realized $1-
000 on my horse.
\\ hen I called ou the President at
Long Branch, on my return from Brus
sel’s, as we were enjoying an afternoon
cigar on the verandah, i asked him how
many horses he had. “Fourteen,” lie re
plied. i remarked to him that Providence
sometimes ordered things strangely in this
world, aud added that i had been work
ing for my country nearly all my life, and
now at my advanced age had to travel
around on foot, while he, who had never
done Anything except for himself, had an
unlimited number of steeds. “Which
nurse do you want ?” said Grant, quiik as
lightning, i told him that I would take
Butcher Boy, but insisted that he should
give me a written order for him, so that I
might not be gulled out of him as I was
out of his first presentation. The Presi
dent replied that he knew I would select
Butcher Boy, and that he would rather
have given me almost any other horse in
his stables, but at once wrote the order.
The way he came in possession of Butch
er Boy is characteristic. It was while lie
was General of tlie army, and had his
headquarters on I street AVashington.
Driving up toward liis headquarters one
morning, he met a horse attached to a
butcher’s wagon, charging down the
street. He glanced at him, harried to liis
office, called an orderly, described the
horse, aud told him to follow, find, and
buy him. After a time the order y return
ed and reported finding the animal, but
said buying him was out of the question
as the owner asked $300 for him. Tlie
General immediately handed him the
money, and presently the orderly returned
with the horse. He turned out magnifi
cently, and in a few weeks would have
sold for $1,500. He is old now, but I am
assured that he is as good as ever.
Was the Wrong Person Hnng?
The telegraph has given an account
of the hanging of a man named Schell,
in Hellcfontain, Ohio, on suspicion of
having murdered a young woman nam
ed Laughlin. His wife had accused
him of the murder, recounting a story
which, on its face, was improbable in
the extreme; while Schell himself, with
tne halter around his neck, protested
his innocense, and declared that
his wife was in reality the murderer,
having been actuated to the crime by
jealousy. The Columbus News says
that a microscopic examination of some
hair found clutched in Miss Laughlin’s
hand shows that it was neither hers nor
Schell's, but that it corresponds with
Airs. Schell’s If this is true, there can
be little doubt that the unfortunate
man's story was true, and that the
murderous mob of “determined, honest
citizens” were guilty of hanging an in
nocent man without judge or jury, or
even a pretence of investigating the
question of his guilt.
