(~1 EO. M. LOGAN & CO. would most respectfully
I inform tlie good citizens of Macon and the sur
rounding country, that they are not quite welling off |
their stock at New York cost, nor do they loudly boast !
of under selling their neighbors. The design of this j
advertisement is to disseminate extensively tliis unde- j
ninble truth, viz that our ni**ortment is rich and racy— ‘
rare and beautiful; comprising every desirable article of
Taney and Staple JDry Goods
usually found in store on speculation. ‘Tw unnecenHa
ry to enumerate the many, eery many extravagantly!
beautiful articles on hand, and to comment upon mtrin- i
sic worth, is deemed entirely superfluous. Suffice it to
say. that all our rich Fancy l>ress Goods, French Work
eaCap*H,&.c. wen* purchased of A T Stewart & Cos.,
New York, and differ materially in style and patterns
from all others in Macon.
All those who entertain tire erronious impression j
that we hold up for high prices, can receive oo ulnrde- |
monstration to the coutrary by pointing in and looking i
for themselves.

MISCELLANY^
t'liinrse I.it<-rnturo.
An nllii-iiil report made liy an English
Commissioner, respecting C-liinn and'the
Cliincse. presents the foTlcuviug information
re-specting the literature of the Chinese and
the abiiitv of the people to read and write:
‘•The Chinese are a reading people, and the
number of their published works is very con
siderable. In the departments of morals, his
tory, biography, the drama, poetry, nnd ro
mance there are no lack of writings, such as
they are. The Chinese Materia Mcdica com
prises forty octavo volumes; of statistical
works, the number is very large. Their nov
els are. said to be excellent pictures of tlie na
tional manners. China is full of books; new
authors are continually springing up; the
press is active, and the traffic in books is a
lucrative and most honorable branch of trade.
When examinations take place in the capital
or the palace, the most clever students are
chosen to till the office of book-makers. There
are however, few really new works, and all
that appear are compilations and quotations;
the. author never venturing an idea of his own;
and in this consists true learning according to
Chinese notions. There is one work in the
royal library, on the topography of China,
which is said to consist ofsooo volumes; some
of tlie best translators that have had access to
some extracts from this giant, were sadly dis
appointed, as it appears to be a mass of confu
sion. without any attempt ut order or proper
arrangement. There arc numerous small
treatises, similar to our tracts, gratuitously
distributed by private individuals, inculcating
morality and virtue. Printing is evidently
cheaper in China than in Europe, ten volumes,
each containing 100 pages, ran be purchased
tor less than a dollar. Every peasant and
poorest fisherman can read and write. Pri
vate and public schools arc numerous iu every
province, and entirely independent of Gov
ernment. Occasionally an examiner visits
all schools to ascertain the qualifications of
the teachers' 1
Mnniifnrtunng in the Month.
Mr. Danif.i Pratt, an intelligent and cn
terprising citizen of Autuagacounty, Alabama,
publishes a sensible address to the people ot
Alabama, uphn the great advantages to be de
rived from the diversion of a portion of tlie la
bor of that State, from the cultivation to the
manufacture of cotton, and to mechanical pur
suits in general. Mr. Pratt, according tn
the Alabama Planter. Inis himself lurnised a
praetieal illustration of his sentiments upon
this subject. That paper snys of him :
*• This gentleman, some tiiteen years ago,
commenced the manufacture of cotton gins.—
The place selected was a wild and secluded
spot; but its aspect has since been changed,
as if by magic. As the demand lor his work
increased, additional machinery and artisans
were employed, until, indue time, the work
shops & dwellings swelled into a beautiful and
thriving village. It lias, very appropriately,
received the ii.iine of the founder, thus per
petuating. if lie had no higher claim to be re
membered. his name arid enterprise. In the.
meantime, other branches of industry follow
ed. and finally a cotton factory was estabhsod.”
We fully agree with Mr. l'ratt that cotton
is the article on which the South ought tn com
mence manufirturing. and will bring in its
train, all tlie branches. If a capital o: one mil
lion of dollars is invested in manufacturing
establishments for this article, in n village, it
would aflbrd employment to 12 or 15'H} opi ra
tives. who with the members ol their families,
would make an aggregate of at least 2000 per
sons: This would bring, probably 1000 or
1200 more. u> other branches, ns merchants,
machinists shoemakers, tailors, tanners, sail
diet's, tinners, harness makers, and in fact ol
mo*t every branch of manufactures, besides
butchers, bakers, grocers, etc. Thus would
this $ 1,000.000 of dollars'probably, directly or
indirectly furnish the means ol sujipirt to a
population of 4to 5000 souls. A village, or
town of tins kind would furnish ji market tor
all the provisions Ibr 10 or 15 miles around, en
couraging and enriching the small cultivators
of the soil It would give u healthy aspect to
business through the neigliborhoo I—money
would circulate freely during the wlmlß year.
The annual value of the cotton crop-Hn any
oue of the cotton-g rosrmg-*fittcs* is very large.
That af Louisiana at a low estimate, cannot
be less than 10 or 12.000,000 of dollars—in tun
years HIO OOfl.OtMT<iT dollars--what liJMii>in*
of this enormotls nmout? Have we any thing
to shJw for it in the way of canals, railroads,
orother extensive improvements? Generally
speaking, do Are not see the same state of
things existing tlirougltout the surface of the

The larger the crops the more negroes, the
more negroes the more hind is cultivated, the
more cultivation the liister the laml is exhaus

nre both gone. Thi has a* yet occurred but

Hut the great obstacle to the progress of the
South, is the absence of it healthy diversion
uiul variety of labor, and to the system ot

manufactured articles to which we are thus
driven. This system prevails, perhaps, less

but still it exists with us, in tlie country to a
great extent.

losing wealth.
It is gratifying to see that the public mind
at the South, is daily awaking to the necessity
of n diversity of labor, and the establishment
of mechanical and manufacturing pursuit nr

vacated the blind policy of an extern five ag

Thus is Life.
It we die to-day, the sun will shine as brightly, and
the birds sing as sweetly to-morrow. Business wall not
be suspended for a moment, and the great mass will no*

be the solemn inquiry of a few, as they pass to then
work. But no one will miss us, except our immediate
connexions; and even m a short time they will tbrget us,
and laugh as merrily as when we aat beside them
