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.

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 State, ns existed twenty years ago ? There arc probably more rtefrroc* Cut these fiurtuate iu valuer with the value of cotton, and the increase of three only tends to increase an already over production of the urti Ic. As the soil becomes exhausted the produce becomes less, and finally the owner will find it necessary to seek another location iu Tex ts or elsewhere. The larger the crops the more negroes, the more negroes the more hind is cultivated, the more cultivation the liister the laml is exhaus ted. and when it is worn out, land and negroes nre both gone. Thi has a* yet occurred but to it small extent with us. but the older South ern States iitlhrd melancholy examples oClhc truth of this position. One ami a prttrfp.il remedy is to invest in mmictigug else, besides negroes. 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 1 barter of a few raw comihoditß'*, lor all our manufactured articles to which we are thus driven. This system prevails, perhaps, less m Louisiana than m Mississippi and Alabama, but still it exists with us, in tlie country to a great extent. Such a trade is obviously but one remove | from that carried mi hy tlie civilued portions jof the world, with barbarous tribes, in which i bends, tn ikel-. knives, &. hatchet* arc barter (ed Ibr dye. precious stones, peltries, woods,’ and gold dust; a kind of trade which benefit* mil) one |Mu ty, and in which all the de ad vno tag i arc borne by the other. It is an Un doubted tact, that he who has but one article io trade, away Ibr a hundred or a thousand, . will always make losing bargains. Labor is th< great wealth of the world, and VOL. XXV.—No. 23. this we relinquish to the North, or Europe.— VV e ship the produce of a cotton plantation on board ol a vessel, for Boston or Liverpool, and it coines back to us with its value increased ten told, or in other words we send these Eu ropean or Northern manufactures one thou sand bales ol Cotton, for which thev return u ‘ one hundred in a manufactured state, and retain the other nine hundred for their labor md profit! This is losing labor, and of course 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 in other words, to supplying her own want*.— 1 he universal success of these estabh henta at the. Soutn, has falsified all the prognosti cations and objections of those who have ad vacated the blind policy of an extern five ag ricultura! production, and hits given new con fidcnce to the friends of manufactures at the South. The march of these establishments among uh is destined to be onward, until we shall he able to supply <*ir own want-, and become independent for our supplier nor can tho prosperity of the South be placed on a firm basis until this is accomplished. \ O nu tlet in. An Incident at t tie llattlc ofMontorry. While Col. Davis, with his command, was hotly engaged with the enemy, exposed to 1 ,r fll . rcct a man in a long grav inrtout suddenly rode up. and dismounting” placed hnnseif in the middle of the street. There in lace of the enemy, amidst the thickest of their hrc. lie coolly drew from, a case, suspended a limit his person, a spy-glass, with which, hav ing adjusted it to a proper locus, he proceeded to reconnoitre the Mexican battery. Having satisfied himself as to tje information lie sought, lie blurt up tile glass, returned it to its care and, approaching Col. Davis said to him: • bir, the enemy has but two pieces, and hv making a detour to the riglityou can take them in Hank. “And who tiic divii are you?”— •I sir, am Major Manheld oi'tlie Corns ol Engineers.” “ All right! come on buys !"’ responded the Colonel. The battery was soon carried.— Nat. hit. Western and Atlantic Railroad. The completion of the Western and Atlan tic Railroad to Chattanooga is looked to with great interest by the people of upper Eabt 1 ennessee; that in connection with the im provement of tin; ilolston River to Kirigs-Port, will more immediately and usefully alTt et the interests of East'Tennessee, and Georgia, and bmith Carolina than any other improvement that has or can be projected. The extreme por tions ot East Tennessee, can by that route reach Charleston in four days, and ; ive to the produce of East Tennesse, the best market in the I mted States ; whilst the commerce of Au gusta Savannah and Charleston, must be y ery greatly increased. By the improvement Ot the Holstou river, the whole of the trade of East Tennessee, andjthe countiesof Scott, Kus 'u i kce and Washington, in Virginia, must .ill re tributary to the Southern seaport cities. 1 he tonnage at thi time Irom the counties in East lenncsse, East of Knoxville, is about seven million pounds ; added to this, the export and import of Scott. Hussdl, Lee and Wash ington eountics. in Virginia, and the whole ton nage may fairly he estimated at inn ■vMVHr'rvjiuirtif in oy me merchants. These improvements beaig once completed, a very hu ge increase import and export must be ex hibited. and it is lair to calculate on a tonnage of twenty million pounds within the next five years ensuing improvement of the rivers of E ist Tennessee. |_ Chattanooga Gazette. ■Mr. Clay and .Hr.
