The of tfte Cotton Manu-
N facture.
The New Orleans Picayune cor
rectly contends that the tinle is
comirig when American cotton will
be manufactured maihly on Ameri
can soil. It says:
A considerable part may go abroad
in the crude state of yarns, but the
bulk of the remainder will be distrib
uted in the shape into which it will
go into the hands Os consumers.
Such a change of course, can only
be accomplished after the lapse of.
considerable time; but events seeni
to be hastening it. Cotton Manu
factures in England are an artificial
and purely contional production, not
xdunded Oh true econohiical princi
plesl So strained and enforced a
condition of fabrication must finally
give way to more healthful methods
England cannot, for marly years
more, maintain her supremacy in
cotton manufactures. The material
She most uses for welt and, almost
entirely for woof, comes from our
Southern States. Only Egypt, Brazil
an'd the West Indites produce that
kind of staple which is desired in
Great Britan. The South grows the
biilk of the raw material which en
teas most completely into the cotton
fabrics intended fdr wearing apparel
The supply from all sources is very
limited compared with that from the
United States: India has a large
grdwth; but the Staple is so short
that it lids not beeh found possible,
even with the improvements of ma
chinery tO bring out driy finished
manufacture without cohsiderable
resort to American cotton. Consider
then, the crop of raw material in the
United States as retained upon Our
own slidros, and as entering as a
conspicious factor itlto our OWn pro
duction. In such base England
would would lose her grasp on cot
ion manufactures. Hter supremacy
in this regard would bo transferred
to this country, and to this complex
ion it must come at last.
The following from another journ
al is in the same style: “Sage, grave
men’ in England are by no means
satisfied with tho business and com
mercial outlook from that country,
upon this point the London Times
recently contained a very significant
article, in which, it said. “There are
strong symptoms 111 many quarters
that the general rise iii prices in
British manufactured ahd Other gobd
has already gone far beyond legiti
mate bonds, and that the trade of
the country may soon receive a pro •
portiouate check.” Francs is now an
actite rival of England in the markets
of Eiii’dpo and, Germany is prepar
ing to enter the same field, vrith life
and activity. Thus threatened abroad
while at home coal is becoming daily
more expensive, and workman de
manding higher compensation for
their lobor, it is no wonder that
commercial circles should be agita
ted and alarmed and that the wisdom
of England's statesmeii should be
anxiously invoked to either stay dr
control the impendsng crisis.”

Commonwealth as its Governor, and
to elevate ft notori oils lobbyist and
shameless corrhptionist to the office
which Hartranft has disgraced Lan
caster county is in open revolt. So
is Lurerene ; and scarcelev a county
in the State will give anything near
its full Republican vote to Hartranft
and Allen. Philadelphia cannot now
be carried for them on a fair poll ;
yet supposing the King to count up
a false majority of 10,000 for them
in this city, careful estimates •flicw
that they will be beaten in the State
by from S,OOO to 10,000.
A POLISH LADY KNOU^ED.
• »
The Official Whipping in Public
of Alexandrina
Penalty of Sympathy with, Reb
els.
At a gathering of the Poles in the
little village of Kernst on tlys South
ern Nniem an, on the 29th of July
last, when all thought
secure frotii the intrusion of any of
the numerous spies who keep.the
Russian officials informed of the mal
contents among them; Alexandrina
Kossowitz, a young lady Whse father,
thte younger son of a formerly noble
Polish family, was killed in the re
cent troubles at Warsaw, expressed
her Sympathy with the unfortunates
wdiom liiissian Severity had murder
ed or sent into exile. The meeting
was a purely social one, and none
dreamed that anything %aid there
would reach the ears of spies, for all
present were known to be Poles, and
firm haters of the harsh rule under
which they then lived. Still, as the
young girl, in her passionate remem
brances of a father’s love, deplored
his death, expressed her sympathy
With rebellion and her detestation of
liter oppressors, she was cautioned
lest her loud tone would enable peo
ple at the window to hear her. With
a hasty glance as though to read in
the faces of those about her who
should betray her, the young lady
relapsed into silence. When ten
o’block arrived, the latest hour of
Polish gatherings, the company sep
arated, and the young lady, accom
panied by her affianced, Julian Te
mensky, went to her home.
If, in passing from the hdtisb of
the gathering she had beeu more ob
servant, Alexandrina would have seen
the maliciously triiiinphant glances
cast after her by Catherine Merkoff,
a wcSrrtan of about thirty-five, a Pole
by birth? and a sympathiser with her
unhappy countrywomen whenever
her own passion was not concerned,
and, from the subsequent proceed
ings, it seems that iii this case she
had been superseded in the affections
of the young Dr. Temensky by the
more beautiful and younger Alexan
drina Kossowitz.
On the following day, shortly after
rising, Alexandria was seized in her
own home, a short distance from
Kernst, by two Cossacks of the guard
at the garrison, and taken before the
petty judge.
The young lady of nineteen, hand
some and trembling, produced no
feeling of pity. Having at first de
nied the accusation, she was con
fronted with Catherine Merkoffj and
then acknowledged her offense: In
passing sentence, the petty judge
said that her Seditious utterances
might hate waiteented him in send
ing her before if higher tribunal,
here the penalty tvould he death ;
but in view of her ydttth and contri
tion, he should merely order her to
receive thirty-five lashes of the knout,
Almost benumbed with shame and
terror, the girl was led away to be
prepared for punishment, for in Rus
sia :ill sentences save that of death
are carried out immediately after
they have been pronounced.
Word having been sent to the offi
cer commanding the troops, a guard
of two hundred men were ordered
into the garrison square, and the ex
ecutioner of the trdop was called upion
to be ready to carry out the duties
of his office. In half an hour after
the sentence had been given the
ttoops had been formed in a hollow
square, ill the centre o’s which had
been placed a scaffold, standing on
four legs, the top of which was an in
clined plane: Beside this stood the
executioner, having in his muscular
hand the knout. This weapon con
sists of a stick or handle', two feet
long, with a lash four feet long of
soft leather, to the end of which is
attached, by a loop, a piece of flat
: raw hide two inches wide and two
feet long. In the hand of an expe
rienced man the piece of raw hide
can be made to cut like a knife.
As the executioner stood facing
tile scaffold. Alexandria Kosscwitz
■ftas Brought to him by her guard; and
in a few moments her clothing was
removed to the waist, despite her al-

most mute appeals to be spared the
! shame. At she pleaded she was bent
1 on the plant), her hands strapped to
the two upper corners, and her an
kles secured al the feet of the struc
ture. One of the executioner’s as
sistants held her head, and the petty
j judge gave the order for whipping
|to commence. Twirling the long
i lash in the air the executioner step
| ped suddenly backwards, and with
sharp crack the thong fell on the
back of the sobbiiig girl, cutting a
livid streak from her right sltonlder
to her waist. A terrible tremor pass
ed over her, and a low cry escaped
her lips, but it .only sound
she uttered, and were it not for the
blood Which soon Commenced to flow,
tt might have seemed that the whip
ping was being dohe on the naked
back of a corpse. When the lash
kpxl been given, the young lady was
Tififastened, and, with her Clothing
rudely thrown over her, she Was
taken to prison, dhd there, after
thanking the judge for his mercy,
according to the necessary foinula,
she was delivered over to her friends.
Five days afterward, the Gazette
of Wilna teofiiained this annouce
ment : “ The Polish criminal, Alex
andrida Kossowitz (daughter of the
rebel, Peter Kossowitz,) who was
knouted for seditious utterance on
the 29th of July at Kernst, while
submitting her lacerations to medi
cal treatment, in the house of the
physician, Teffiensky, stole a vial of
prussic acid, with whiteh she ended
her days*”
How they Propose to Carry Ala
bama.
If our readers wish to know in
what manner it is proposed to put
the “heel of the negro on the heck of
the White man ” in Alabarha. They
can learn by reading the following
threats lately uttered in Clay county
by Preposterous Lambert and (’lnns.
Pellianl—the former a candidate for
Superintendent of Industrial Re
sources and the latter a Radical Cir
cuit Judge.
We quote first from Pelham :
“ There are many here dashing
around to-day who will not be here
on the day of election.
What Pelliam means to insinuate
by this refnark will be seen from the
following reiharks of Mr. Lambert:
“ Many of tlic young men of Coo
sa county are coming into me daily,
confessing they are Ku-kluxes, ac
knowlediiig their sins, and asking
me to intercedes for them. To such
I pledge the influence of the party
to have them pardoned, if they will
pledge themselves to vote for Gen.
Graiit.”
Observe unparalleled insult to a
free people bf pledging the influence
of a political party to the pardoili.bg
of crime on condition the criminal
votes the Radical ticket! Our houses
may be burned at midnight, our fields
may be laid waste, our likes put in
jeopardy or destroyed by the mean
east, dirtiest cut-throats on Gbd’s
earth with absolute impunity from
punishment, bn the sole condition
that they vote the Radical ticket!
Was such a monstrous state of things
ever heard of before ? Then What
must the Country be coming (or go
ing) to ? And yet we find now and
then a creature bearing a white face
and a lily liver who will vote to en
dorse such villainy. The man who
endorses such villainies as the Radi
cal paity has put in active operation
in and against the South: ought to
be spurned from the sight of men. —
Montgomery Adcertiser.
Liglit as well as fresh air is need
ed in a sick room. All ktic'w that
plants will not thrive in a dark room.
The sick, especially during convales
cence, require light as much as plants;
not only light, but direct sunlight.
Its warmth is pleasant, its associa
tions are pleasant; but it has other
influences we cannot explain. It aids
ventilation, it warms and dries the
room and renders healthy what is
otherwise poisonous. The pale,
weak and bloodless, under the direct
influence of a “sun bath,” gain color,
strength and health. Not that all
are to be exposed to it under all cir
cumstances, but let the room have a
sunny aspect. —Prize Essay Mass.

Greelby on Grant.
Die Lev. \\ illiam H. Beecher, brother
of Henry \\ ard Beecher, and a preacher
of power and influence, contributes to the
New York Tribune the following brief
and cogent argument for upholding recon
ciliation as the strongest aid/Jto religion
and morality. Mr. Beecher sSSS :
Ik: Ihe the highest po
sition in America, as tl>e reyfft of the
suffrages of a great and intelligent free
people, is an event Unprecedented in the
history of nations. Kings inherit by de
scent or take the throne by rtilhary power,
but here a mau rises from qjbsftirity, with
out family, or name, or wealth, or friejids,
to a power greater than that o/ Umfferor.
The history of such a phenomenon is.
most instructive, and the example
powerful as an educator bf ambitious
youths for good or evil. Take fust tin*
case of Grant. Sfent by some friend lo>
the military school Os the nation, although
exhibiting no special intellectual Ability,
he is graduated only Respectably as to at
tainments. He retires to private, unsuc
cessful business life, doing nothing, say
ing nothing, writing nothing to bene
fit society. Neither in art, or science, or
hi orals, or education, or political economy,
do we hear of him; but during the war
he comes to the front, receiving all the
men and means he asks for, leads our ar
mies to victory, crushes the rebellion and
becomes General of thS United States and
President of the nation. The only lessons
taught are: First, Secure by the influence
of friends an education at public ex
pense. Second, Wait for a war and fight
and rise to command, if yah caht,and you
may become President. Now, what is the
moral effect of such lessons on our young
men? Are they republican, br desire
either morally or civilly ?
Tljfi SELF-MADE MA?t.
Blit in contrast with this, behold a
youth brought up to labor; acquiring an
art and education by his own labor, pa
tience . arid perseverance ; without friends
(ir patronage or wealth ; pushing his way
in our chief city amid the bustling, striv
ing, selfish throng ; establishing a journal;
doing his own type setting and press work;
writing his own editorials ; securing items
of news and of business ; employing his
men, and as his paper and means grew, se'
lecting his writers and the employees of
his office; without capital, and against
powerful competition and partisan strile
and misrepresentation steadily gaining
friends and influence; taking ground from
the start against the use of intoxicating
drinks; by his own consistent example,
clear, earnest, and cogent writings, He car
ried with others the temperate caiise oil to
great success : he always has advocated
the disuse 1 of tobacco and opium, luxuri
our living, and sinfdl and injurious amuse
meuts; he has advocated honesty, indust
ry, and truthfulness; frowned on cruelty,
injustice, and oppression by whomsoever
practiced ; and by the most powerful, clear
and pungent editorials, enforced by his
own consistent example, sought ever the
best good bf his fellow-countrymen.
In the great anti-Slavery struggle, the
greatest moral, political, and physical con
test the wo'rld has ever known, extending
in its ramifledtions to almost every nook
and corner of social, civil, political, com
mercial, and religious life, and exciting the
fiiercest passions of all classes, he was fore
most, and always faithful when it cost
much to be so ; for both political parties,
the great commercial interests, a large part
of the Christian ministery and of the
Churches were not anti-Slavery, much less
Abolitionists; through all the struggle,
till the final victory, he was faithful and
powerful with his pen; neither bought
with money, frightened by threats, nor se
duced by offers of place and honors ; al
ways taking the part of the poor and the
unfortunate, and the friendless, he aided
them by fils sympathy, advice, and money;
sometimes imposed upon, but ever saying,
“Better give to many imposters than let
one worthy brother suffer;” always in the
van bf reform, maintaining the rights of
the laborer, the emigrant,'the slave, and of
woman, he stands before the American!
people the most remarkable and wonderful
exainple of an intelligent, persevering, and
successful editor ever known in tliis or any
other land, having Written on a great vari
ety of subjects of vital importance, with
fewer mistakes and less to take back or re
gret than buy other.
WHICH LirE IS THE BRIOHTER EVAMPLE.
Much more might hie truthfully added,
but I hasten to ask which of these lives,
examples, and works thall be held up and
urged on the American vouch ? The man
who, by his indomitable industry, intelli
gence, and perseverance, has not only
achieved a noble education and a standing
in the front rank of journalism, but who
has done more as an educator for honesty,
truth, temperance, chastity, morality, as
well as national politics and republican
government, than almost any other; who
never took a bribe or a gift to blind his
eyes; who never was accused of falsehood;
whose fiercest political enemies dare not
charge him with dishonesty ; or the man
educated on public charity, made promi
nent only by war, not given to temperance,
who i3 poisoned through and through by
tobacco, as Henry Wilson tester/, who
tas taken many gifts, who has been a par-''
iker with the thieving Murphy, who has
never cast a Republican vote, who has
never been khown to be imposed upon by
poor unfortunates because of his known
kindness ibid generosity, who has never
written or uttered a remarkable sentence
on any subject ? Look qu this picture
and then thitt. Which all you wish
your son to imitate? Who*e example
shall be elevated to the gaze of the Amer
ican youth for the next four years ?
W. H. Beecher.
„ Chicago, Sept 26,1872.
The CotTON Crop.— Owing lo tills re
cent hot w eather, the drouth, and the
ravages of the caterpillar, the cotton crop
has matured prematurely; and a great
many producers being compelled to sell in
order to meet their obligations for guano
and supplies, an unusually large amount
has been hurried into market up to this
time, bnd the result is, the price is much
lower than It ought to be, the short lies 8
of the crop 2nd the demand being consid
ered. This state of things ought not to
continue long, and will not, if those who
are able to hold their crops will do so un
til the temporary emteigentes is past. Those
who have obligations to meet, should do
sc promptly, unless further indulgence be
granted them ; but all who are free from
enthrallments should hold on to their cot
ton and demand beraunerative priefes. The
world must have teotton—must lidve all
that is made, and planters should take ad
vantage of this fact and make themselves
bf the Situation, in spite of the
trick:*, of monopolies and rlngS ; and those
who have placed themselves at the mercy
of creditors, sho'hld profit by the experi
ence of the past, and keep out of debt.
Let us make our Own fertilizers hereafter,

Wendell Phillips Rebuked by the
Colored Men’s Convention. —The fol
lowing resolutions, full of good sens© and
good feeling, were adopted by the kite
National Convention of colored men, at
Louisville. The rebuke to the Arch Agi
tator, who has sought tfi excite a war of
races, is as dignified di it deserved, and
should make him wince :
Whereas, Wendell Phillips siid, owing
td his personal ill-will toward Horace
Grfeeley, counsels the colored people of the
United States to vote against that noble
representative of constitutional liberty,
and, providing Greeley is elected, he ad
vises us to arm and arm immediately;
therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the National Liber
al Colored convention, do denounce stich
counsel as impolitic, injudicious and pa
triotic, calculated, if heeded, to hurl us to
destruction and annihilation, and is only
the outgrowth of envy and personal dif
ferences, and utter disregard for the
and welfare of the colored men, and the
peace and prosperity of this great Repub
lic.
To Bury us All. —That amiable soul,
Wendell Phillips, made a speech last
Thursday at Lynn, and here is one amoDg
mUny things which he said :
“The reason why I support the Repub
lican party is that, td my utter surprise, to
my indescribable delight, to my relief, I
have at last found a party that is willing
to execute all the laws that are given them.
It is for that reason that I say “Long live
Ulysses Grant. May he fcontinue to be
President bf tlie United States until every
white man over forty yedrs of age who
lives south of Mason and Dixon’* line has
been forever pfit Into the ground.” (Loud
and continued applause.)
Let the Straightouts take notice that
they are not exempted from the common
lot of the Souhtern whites. They too
must be killed off and put under ground
with the rest of us. They had better help
us beat Grant instead of throwing their
votes away or refusing to poll them.
Dressing for Church. —There was a
time when, good taste demanded the use
of the plainest clothes in the sanctuary,
when the wealthiest were distinguished
for their conspicuous absence of personal
adornment, and sartorial display was a
mark of vulgarity, at such times and pla
ces. But now it would almost appear as
if, whatever might be thought of a modest
garb in other places, the proper costume
for the house of God, where, theoretically,
we all go to be reminded of our’ commdn
origin and destiny, were an agglomeration
of all the jewelry, and all the feathers and
furbelowslin one * wardrobe. The wearer is
to carry all this piled agony to the sanctu
ary as to' ?: fair—as if her errand were not
so much to praise as to be appraised—and
these employ the sacred time in envious
comparison of her own mountain of milli
nery with the Himalayan trumphsof her
neighbor.—Btar.

Female Loveliness.—Do not thill I
you can make a girl .lively if you dll

Swvture—there is not one cheok you

because itSakes away the brightness

it is eternal youth.
A Washington dispatch to thd
Baltimore Sun says: Political ad
vices received here to-day from Re
publican sources admit tho probable
election of Mr. Hendricks as Govern
or of Indiana. The Republicans,
hbwerver, are to-day claimirig Ohio
by twelve thousand majority, and
Pennsylvania from eight to ten
thoiisiiiid. Those who conversed
with tile President to-day on the
results of next Tuesday found hiss
entirely sanguine of the last WFo
States named. Senator Sonrz, od
the other hand, arrived here
and says there is no reasolt to doubt
the triumph of the Liberals in all thd
States named; Nothing butenormotui
frauds in his opinion, can prevent it.
Col. Forney and other Republicans
who are supporting Grant, however,
admit that great frauds are contem
plated in Pennsylvania to iMeure

once the best knoWn man in Franoe
has fallen of late into complete obsou

old man with an iron will, M. Th’iers.
Sentenced to transportation, he had
his sentence, after long labor and
many abasemments, changed to im
prisonment for life. It is said that
so little curiosity is mnhifesited bh
behalf of this idol of an hour, this!
the place where ho is confined is
only known to the French govern
ment and his jailer.
Amos and McComb are both
Grant men and by the letters of tIU
one Hi id the sworn statement of tha
other, on file in the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania, it appears that
Senator WUsod, Speaker Blain and
other Radical Congressmen
bribed to vote for a bill the Unioif
Pacific Company, of which Ames and
McComb were directors, wanted
passed. An unsurported denial bf
letter or speech is not sufficient td
establish the innocence of the par
ties criffinated against such testi
mony.
The Administration, fully realizing tho 1
fact that it8 a fortunes are waning, has
in operation a new force by which it y
expected that all the strong m’ifiidid tro
men— those that are willing to wear pan
taloons and ride man-fashion—will imme
diately go to work making speeches for
Grant. Highly important eirfcfffd&f are
being sent out from Washington, in&rked

stump speechifyers. who arri called upon
to form clubs and work for the election of
Grant. There are the best reasons in the
world why a certain class of Vomen should
favor a continuation of Radical rule.

Company are said to be again critical, no
satisfactory adjustment having been made
of the old controversy relative to the com

reports and other public business. Tftel
compitey thus far declines to aoowrt the
rate fixed by the Postmaster-General for
