but the interest is maintained at a “white heat." I nder the general title of “The Leisure Hour Series, " Messrs Holt & \\ illiams of New York, are now pub lishing works of an entertaining, though by no means trivial character. The first of the “series” has already appeared in the shape of a dainty duodecimo, (“My Little Lady,”) said to be the production of anew English writer of marked talent and promise. The tale itself is charming. With no plot whatever, and but tew charac ters, the author works confidently, and successfully within the (comparatively) naiTow bounds selected; showing much knowledge ot human nature, a fine discriminating judgment, and a true poet's love and appreciation of Nature. The heroi e, “My Little Lady,” Madelon, is fascinating trom the hour of her introduction, until in orange blossoms, and with her characteristically beautiful smile, she disappears into the “cloud-land” of romance. All the surroundings ot this little maiden, her adventures, troubles, and temporary despairs, in fact the whole conception of her character—prove the existence on the Novelist’s part of a certain originality of mind, from which we have the right to expect true, and great things hereafter. Holt & Williams have now in press, belonging to this “Leisure Hour Series” the following works: Ivan Turgenefs “Smoke “Herman Agha” by William G. Palgr&ve; About’s “Man with the Broken Ear;” and a volume of highly divesting verses, called “Fly Leaves,” by C. S. Calvesby, of whom “Chamber’s Journal” says, “He is the most amusing of rihymsters.

Manufacturing in the South, In his letter from Montgomery, the 1 traveling correspondent of the A” Y. Journal of Commerce, thus sums up | some of the manufacturing advantages : possessed by the South : | “Draw a line trom Augusta to | Columbus, Ga., ilience to the boundary !of Tennessee and into Alabama, to in clude the Coosa river, and you have, j they say, a territory possessing greater ' water power than any similar area of ! the world. The advantages of nianu- I faeturing cotton in the South are : “First—The raw material is brought !to the door of the factory. The planter ! brings it as he gathers it in the seed, j and therefore avoids the expense of bagging and iron ties, and the factor does not lose their weight in cotton. The factor then gins and makes yarn I and cloth, and sends the goods to mar ket. The cotton, therefore, saves the expense of packing and packing mate rials, and of selling commission, of freight and insurance to New York, of profit to the New York speculator, of freight to and from the Northern mill, the difference in cost of labor, (for fac tory labor is cheaper and very abundant here); it also saves the expense ot the capital loaned to the factor, and the large commissions, freights and losses paid in frequent handlings, and trans | portation back to the South. “Second—Abundant water power, under easy control and unobstructed by ice. The value of water power depends upon its volume, duration, un obstruction by ice, accessibility and fa cility of control. The rivers through the uplands of South Carolina, and all through Georgia and Alabama, are al ways free from ice, which is the most fatal objection to water powers in our Northern climate. The rivers where the best water exists in the South are amply supplied with water even in the very dry seasons. Obstruction by ice is unknown to them. They are all ac cessible, some navigable to the very jioint where mills are or could be loca ted, and the ease with which many of these gifts of nature are controlled are remarkable. Where a river bottom is /sandy, and the banks are of the same duits are unreliable, because a heavy storm might wash away the banks, or I the rush of water from the conduits Roster of Field and Staff Pryor’s Brigade, June, 1862 NAME. .. ril jf r 3J “l 1 ! 1141,1 Alabama, and a Lousiana Battalion, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Coppens, were also in Pryor's Brigade~at this 1 ,1, J l C o°"lJ| e e Rosters of he 3d \ lrginia and 14th Alabama are given elsewhere. Coppens’ Battalion was broken up in the Summer ot 1862 and the Bth Florida was attached to the Brigade during the Maryland Campaign. After this Campaign General Pryor resigned, and Pn oris Br ide was broken up; the 3d Virginia going to Kemper's Brigade; the 14tli Alabama to Wilcox; the 14th Louisiana to Nicholls’ Brigade in Jaclsofffold Division, while the 2d, sth and Bth h onda Regiments were formed into a Brigade for Colonel Perry, who was promoted ° ° ld The casualties m this Brigade at Richmond, June 27th and 30th, 1862, were 169 killed, 680 wounded, and 11 missing out of 1 400 nresent- at 2d Manassas la killed, iG wounded; and at Sharpsburg, 4 missing; and at Roonesboro and Sharksburg, 48 killed, 285 wounded, and 49 missing ’ Roster of Regiments, Pryor’s Brigade, June, 1862.

This fact j is well understood here, and the water powers selected run over rocky founda tions, which give an additional import- j ant advantage of furnishing stone on the spot for building purposes, for con structing dams and aqueducts. “Third—Such is the mildness of the j climate that factories require uo artifi cial heat to produce a temperature suitable for spinning yarn smoothly and evenly, and consequently for the manu i facture of evenly-woven cloth. This is i a very great consideration. The hu midity of the climate is also another valuable condition. “Fourth—Operatives enjoy much bet- : ter health here than in any Northern State. Scientific and medical authori ties urge, a.s a reason for this, that while at Lowell, at least seven months in the year they require artificial heat conveyed through the entire mill in order to pro duce a given temperature, nature sup | plies that tempera turn here. In Lowell they do not only have the doom and windows closed to exclude the air, but put listing in the interstices as a further exclusion. The result is that operatives inhale an impure atmos phere. Here, the greatest enemy to the health is the midday sun. The operatives live around the factory, and are protected from the snn while at work. During ten months of the year the factory windows and doors are all thrown wide open, and the operatives have a comparatively cool place to work in. In the North, factory operatives, a.s | a class, are pale, attenuated people, i Here they are healthier than any other [class of laborers. An operative here ! can buy a house and lot for a compara j lively trifling sum, and they, the work | ers, manage to do it, or they rent houses l for a mere song, witli an acre or half an acre of ground, and raise vegetables for home use with less than half the atten tion necessary in the North. * “Fifth—The best proof of these things is furnished in the fact that the Augusta or Columbus manufactories can ship their products to Lowell and un i dersell tbe Lowell people, and while | doing that they will make and the Lowell people will lose money. If en terprising Yankee cotton manufacturers iff-OUhLiimpe here and examine into the : operation, they would, itliink, he cou : vinced that there is money in it, and no | trifling sum either.

No cotton factory that I have yet seen in the South makes a profit of less than twenty per cent, per annum on the capital invested in build ings and stock. Every yard of goods or pound of yarn they produce finds ready sale, and the makers themselves | are the men of ail others who are most i anxious for Northern capitalists to [ come among them and build factories and mills right alongside of theii-s. True, there may be a little selfishness even in that, because every new mill | lessens the individual expense of con | trolling the water power; but the dis-1 position proves that t hero is abundant room, raw material, work and labor for all the capital and energy our million aires may see tit to invest here, and profitable demand for all tbe cotton and woolen goods they may manufacture.” The Boi.i. Worm.—Many of our exchanges are now giving place to the following: • “The Aberdeen (Miss.) Examiner says: Mr. James D. Tatum, of Aber deen, one of our oldest citizens, has discovered an effectual bar to the depredation of the boll worm. Last year he put up nine martin boxes, which were immediately taken posses sion of by hundreds of martins, who entered upon duty as destroyers of the millers who deposited the eggs that produce the destructive boll worms. He informs us that he did not find a single boll worm in his hundred acres of cotton. Putting up martin boxes at convenient positions throughout their plantations, they will bejable to wage a war of exterminat ion against the most dreaded enemy ot the South. It costs little or nothing to try the experiment, and. there is no good reason to sup i pose that the martin will not be as | destructive to the enemies that threaten the field as the English sparrow, while lit is much more harmless.” This would all look well enough but fin- one little trouble in the way: the 11' lfier oFTfac the night, while martins fly only in the day time. The miller of the boll worm is the most shy of all moths, and there fore conceals itself with such care that one seldom comes upon it during the day.— Mobile Register. Tim Cotton Tax Cases.— The exact status of the bill to refund the internal revenue tax ou cotton is the subject of general inquiry from parties interested in its passage. The bill is still pending action before the Ways and Means Com mittee of the House, will be reported by them early in the December session. The defeat of tlie Mon-ill amendment to the defficiency bill was the first indication of the feeling in favor of the proposition to refund. The great bulk of the cases brought before the Court of Claims, are cotton claims, and the fight ngainst the amendment was made directly in the interest of the cot ton producing class. The next or sec ond and most conclusive evidence of the feeling in the matter is to be found in the fact that Ithe amendment to the om nibus bill, prohibiting the Secretary of the Treasury from collecting the two cents per. pound tax ou cotton judg ments obtained before the Court of Claims, was passed by the almost .maui mous vote of both Houses. Tim Government And Southern Claimants.— Dissatisfaction is expressed by the fortunate Southern claimants be cause the Third Auditor must first audit their claims before the Secretary of tho Treasury is willing to pay the amount appropriated. The reason alleged for this course by the Treasury Department 's that the Government must protect it self against the presentation of the same claim hereafter, and must hold the papers as vouchers, otherwise there will be no security in the future against tho presentation of the same claim.
