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.” Forney Gives up PfennylVaniU. Forney: the friend of Grant and his great gun in Pennsylvania, thus fires a red hot shot into the camp of his “friend,” through his paper? The Press. Nothing Can save Hartranft rtcV. His overwhelming defeat is as cer tain as that the sun will rice on the morning of the Bth day of October. Allegany and the whole West is aflame with indignation at the auda cious attempt of Cameron & Cos. * to impose this man Hartranft upon the 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- FOII THE E [GUT—JUSTICE TO ALT /BAIKBRIDGB GA.. OCTOBER 12th 1572. 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. Med. Society. 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, raise our own provisions and tobacco make our own clothes and be independent.—Cdr tersville Standard. 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. IN ADVANCE, Female Loveliness.—Do not thill I you can make a girl .lively if you dll hot make her happy. There is not oiie restraint you put on a good join’s Swvture—there is not one cheok you to hbr instincts of affection ot of elfcrt—which will not be indelibly writtehi.on her features withs hard ness Which is all the more painful because itSakes away the brightness from the br6w of virtue. The per fect loveliness of a woman’s counts nance can Only depsist in tile majes tic peace which is fhund in the mem ory of happy and useful years, fall of sffeet and from the join ing of this with that yet more ma jestic fehildishnoss, which is still faQ of change and promise, opening al ways, modest at once, khd bright with hope of better things to be won and to be bestowed. There is no old ago whore there is still that promise ; 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 Hartranft. M. Henri Rochefort, the Fre&oh agitator the publisher,of the revolu tionary the enemy of Lotlis Napdlean, and the man who delivered the funeral sermon over the body bf Victor Noir ; an exile but still sending his barbed arrofrd over the border; and even into the! sacred precincts of the Frenoh Court restless, ambitions, unprincipled ; once the best knoWn man in Franoe has fallen of late into complete obsou rity.f Affiliated with the detested Com mune, he fell into the hands of thai 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 confidential, and Addressed td female 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. The relations between the War Depart ment and the Western Union Telegraph!
