Ulrsccllancotts. maxvtacttono at m south. A gentleman from Georgia informs tbe ed itor of the Bridgeport Farmer that there arc Mate sixty cotton factories now in Operation in that State, and that several have recently been established in Louiauna and Mississip pi. The go<yda they manufacture are of the coarser description, which they formerly pur chased wholly of the North, and which gave employment to many hands and much capi tal to the New England States. In speak ing of these facta, And of tbe nge ncy of “ n grn philanthropists” in securing the present state of things, the Farmer snys : *■ We know of a business firm of the South who formerly purchased thousands of dollars woith of shoes in this State, and in Massa chusetts, but who now have a large estab lishment of their own, and manufacture not only for themselves hut for a great many others who also used to purchase their sup plies in this and the neighboring States. One reason why they have thus gone into manu facturing for themselves is the vile abuse that has been heaped upon their section by dema gogues and presses in this part of the Union. They have been driven, in fact, from our work-shops and work-booses, and forced to depend upon themselves. The experiment, so far, has been successful, and laid tbe .foun dation for future increase that may, perhaps, go beyond all present calculation.” We think that it will not he denied that since Abolitionism assumed its present rabid aspect, the Sonth has done very much to strengthen itself and to weakeu the North, by giving encouragement to the building of factories and work-shops on its own soil. In this way, instead of patronising.Northern la bor and capital, it has drawn our Northern mechanics to itself, and hundreds might be counted who have gone from the New Eng land States and are now settled comfortably in Southern localities. We are sometimes told that working men are not respected at the South ; but the assertion is wiiolly un true. The working man—the intelligent mechanic, we mean —stands much higher at the South than at the North. He finds it ea sy, if he but respects himself, to mingle hi the best society which tbe South while at the North, lie about it as we will, he is treated very much as Southern people treat their negroes, barring that .lie \i not as well fed and clothed. —Providence (R. 1.) Post, April 17. . . AN ARKANSAS FATHER'S ADVICE TO HIS SON. Bob, you are about leaving home for strange parts. You are going to throw me out of the game it alone. Tho odds are agin you, Bob—remember that persever ancc and industy are the winning cards, ns they are the “bowers.” Book ranting and all that vort of thing, will do to till up with, like small trumps, hut you must have the bowers to back ’em else they nitit worth shucks. If luck runs agin you pretty strong, don't cave iu and look like a sick chicken on a rainy day, but hold your head up, and make, believe you are flush of trumps ; they wont play so hard agin you. I've lived and traveled around some, Boh, and I’ve found oat tlint ns soon as folks’ thought you held a weak hand, they’d all buck agin you strong. So when you’re setter weak, keep oe n bold front; but play enutious; be satisfied with a p’int. Maiiy's the hand I’ve seen ’em euch red ’cause they played for too much. Kedp your eves wen skinned, Bob; don’t let ’em nig you; recollect the game lays as much with the head as with .the hands. Be tem perate ; never get drunk, for then no matter how good your hand you Woni know how to play it; Loth bowers and the ace wont save you; for there’s sartintobea “miss deal” nr something wrong. And another thing. Bob, (this was spoken in a low tone.) don’t go too n uch on women; queens is kinder poor cards; the more you Lave of’em the worse for you you might have three and mary a trump. I don't say discard ’em all; if you get hold of oue that is a trump, it’s all good, and there’s sartin to he onejiut of four. And-above all, Bob, be honest; nev er take a man’s trick wbt don’t belong to you, nor “slip” cards or “nig,” for then you can’t-look your man io the face, and when that’s the case, tlmr’s no fun in the game ; it's a regular “ cut throat.” So, now. Boh, farewell; remcmbdV wot I *6ll you, and .you’ll he sure M win, and if you don’t it sarvea you right if you get “skunked.” . —■ .As- ■ ■ .. ’ MINISTERIAL COURTESY.

The horse is decided to be a very fast nag, and so is tho locomotive, and both were wfcll trained to the track.— The arrangements between the betting par ties were,that the hnrtc should be at his star ting pj*ce when the locomotive came up even, and the word “ go” should be given, when away they went under whip ana steam. The judges declared the horse tho winner by one half length. The bet was SSO a side, and the distance eighty rod*. Thia decide* tbe question that th horse is faster than steam. —Hamilton (Canada) Timet. Tbe Paris correspondent of tbe London Herald give# a rumor that tba Einprem ia to. oimtu.

(Singed) W—-U. C > Walnut Hill, Geneva, N. Y. Superscribed—Postmaiked, “Free” Hon. Jolm Randolph. U. S. S..Washington, D. 0. This letter fell into the hands of one of our city jokers, and elicited the follow{ug dreamy reply: Washington, D. C. March 1, 1853. My Dear Sir: Yonr brilliant epistle of February—, 1858, addressed to” Hon John Randolph, U S. S., Washington D. C., re questing his autograph, is now, by a train of circumstances unforeseen by you, upon my table. The letter was advertised, and there being no John Randolph except myself in this city, I took the liberty of opening it,— 1 am not bold, I think, in assuming tliftt you intended to address John Randolph of Roa noke, who unfortunately for your valuable collections of autographs, departed: this life some eighteen or twenty years since, or other wise I doubt,, not, lie wouid have complied with your modest request. ‘ You are not alto gether, unfortunate, that your communication lias fell into my hands, for, applauding your zeal in so patriotic an undertaking, I will be most happy to assist you, by forwarding the signatures of some of my most remnika hie acquaintances. lam sorry I am uot able to do so nt present. My friend G. Washington, Esq., late Com inander-in-Ghief of our Army, is not at pres ent in town, hut should he return soon, I shall lay your letter before him. I have several other distinguished friends, of whom you may not have heard, hut on dilligent enquiry you will .readily dicover that their names are worthy a place in your priceless Album. W. Shakspcnre, Esq., of Stratford-on- Avon, England, lias some little renown in tire world of letters, who, I have no doubt, will cheerfully oblige yon, when I meet him next. Mr. J. Csesar, whilom of Rome, Italy, was wont also to be kind in this regard; and the autograph of my particular friend, J. Iscari ot, Esq., a distinguished Hebrew gentleman, would suit your collection exnetly. He would doubtless dispose of it for a small con sideration, as his character is notorious pecu niary. Should I meet any of those gentlemen shortly, I shall most assuredly oblige you, and hail not tire immortal Adam (who in bis palmy days possessed a country sent called “Parndise,") expired a “few days” since, I would have enriched your collection by his valuable “ Mark.” At any rate, you have the autograph of Yours, with profound respect, John Randolph.

Y. Journal of Commerce. A FHOTOGBAFH 0F THE UNITE* RATES UX ’ ATI. As this honorable body ia at present the theatre of special interest, we propose a con densed sketch of it. Inexorable rules, that have grown more stringent every year, ex cludes almost every mw from the chamber ex cept Senators and Repreeentatiree. Hence the galleries, at all times small and full, are now overflowing. Even “worn nnt Kansas” is not quite worn out there. Tn the days of Clay, Calhoun and Webster, when all peco piable apace, within and without the cham ber, was deluged with the living tide, as they were about to deliver a set speech, there were gallant Senators who would get • vote to ad mit the congregation of ladies, who stood pleading either with soft voices or in mute beauty around the door*, and in the passages. But that day seems to bo past. Their charms are now displayed only from the front galle ry, of which they have the entire monopoly. The dearest treasures—the wives and daugh ters of Senators themselves—are placed on the shelf. Even the House, with its spacious Mall lias become very exclusive. The old Lieutenant General of the army is now ex cluded. Even the diplomatic corps can only enjoy a section ot the gallery reserved for -them, ——— - ■ But to the picture. The chair of Clinton, Gerry,.Calhoun and other Vice-Presidents, attracts the first glance of the spectator, who is surprised to see an extreme youth, with coal-black hair occupying it, for IQh Breckinridge looks young even for tluijy-fi w*u* It iaa place, not for the employment, but the repose of tallent, denying all priviiego of de bate, which belongs to the Speaker of the House by Ins right as Representative. The Vice-President combines dignity with suavi ty, and seems to Imvo great respect for the seniors over whom be presides. Tlmt li'tle man, who has left his seat, and occupies a chair on the floor directly in .front of the Vice-President, is senator Douglas. He has taken that seat to listen to Senator Collamnr, on tne Republican side of tbe chnmber, who is reasoning about aiavs property, and inter spercing his arguments with bits of wit and satire. There is no eloquence of imagination or manner, hut lie delivers himself in easy, though not very distinct tones, and in a sen atorial, semi judicial style. The “little gi ant” seems to enjoy it much, while Senator Mason, the author ot the fugitive slave lnw, which Mr. C. is dissecting, hastens to his seat snatches his pen, and jots down his antago nist’s argument with an air that seems to say, “ I can triumphantly answer it.” Considerable attentiou ia given to the speaker, though tbe seats on the pro-slavery side of the House seem to be vacated by a number of Senators. Mr. Green of Misouri, is of <:ourse attentive, for it is to his pro-Le (ompton argument the Senator is replying. At the extreme of the administration cir cle sits Dr. Guin, of California, a man of grey hairs, hut of a strong and healthy frame,much devoted to the interest of his pacific State, blending pleasant manners with energetic actions, aud awakening in the mind a lively idea of tlie dignity and progress of our em pire in the extreme West. Though original* iy from a slave State, lie had no difficulty in advocating free institutions for California. — in the midst of the anti-slave circle sits Hale, his countenance the mirror of good nature and pleasant humor, his person redolent of g >od digestion, his air that of easy satisfac tion with every body, Iliad almost said eve ry thing, for after all his displays about sla very, one cannot help thinking he would sac rifice almost anything to a gest. He is uot a man ot sympathy, but of wit. Here ia A couplet descriptive of a certain member of the British Parliament: “ Ward ha* no heart, tbejr asy, but I deny it; Ward baa a heart, and geta bi* apeeche* by it.” Now, if Hnle does not always get his spee ches by heart, he doubtless, like Sheridan, (like him only in thiu.J elaborates beforehand some of those, morsels of wit, which appear to be the sallies of she moment. Near him sits Seward, one of the ambitious men of the nation, who aims at a certain philosophical istyle of oratory, like Ediuun Burke's, and appears better in print than on The floor.— He lias few of the graces of oratory* and a kind of portentous voice, not exactly unmu sical, hut very peculiar, and quite unexpres sive of emotion of any sort, unless hi pro nouncing and elegy. He has’ the superior qualification of a genial temper, which H is nearly iirpossible tw perturb,, and seeks to be on good terms with all. In bis office at his family residence he sits in great comfort, smoking hit sugar, while lie franks public documents and at the same time talks with his friends. His colleague, King, has thus far been quiescent, this session. Toombs is well kown a bluff southerner, who has wan dered from his proper latitude, and sits wedg ed in among the Republicans, but treats them in generous style, while he slashes their doc trines right and left. He is a forcible decUim er, and even debater, though not a very dis tinct speaker. Indistinct utterance is indeed the besetting sin of Congress orators, uot withstanding the great example of Clay and Webster and Everutt, whom all could hear with ease, and of course with pleasure. A noticeable man on the floor i* senator Benjamin of Louiaianna, who takes quite a distinguished rank, both a lawyer and a states man. Hia Hebrew name, Judah P„ marks his lineage as of that wondrous race that can not be concealed from the world, however they may mingle with the far distant Gentiles. His elevated position is not only evidential of talent, hut of the free tolera tion vouchsafed in our iestitotions to all of every name who would be true republicans. He is a tine looking man, of perhaps thirty seven years, with dark bright eyes, black frizaled hair, and of a form not tall, hut stal wart. The style of his head and face is said to bear resemblance to tljat of the cele brated D'lsrach, of the British Parliament, bat less sarcastic, or sardonic, in its expres sion. It has, indeed, a remarkable buind ness, bat not at the expense of energy, for in action be is powerfol. He appear* with great distinction before the Supreme Court - ■■ ■ ■ U’ NUMBER 38.

He is an indifferenT orator, having been elevated rattier on a oA itary than a civil basis, as a debater, hw in inferior to his old comrade, Gen. Quitman oft the House, who can make a very respectable speech, especially if it is for raising troop* e> vindicating filibusters. He has a prutUefbu of grey hair on bis head and face, which kil ter is a stranger to the raaor. Geo. Davis ie slightly lame from a wound received at Men ftgpy with Taylor, whose daughter he mar collcnguo Brown, is a knightly gentleman, capable of speaking with interest and animation, but is not among the weighti est of Senators. Clay, of Alabama, son of a former Senator, of the extreme spill lean •tamp, rather fluent in speech, and very res olute in hie opposition to treasury expendi tures, and every measure that emacke of cen tralisation. The Alabamians are generally strong on State Bights doctrines and always ready for a centrifugal flight. Delaware lias her Bayard, not equal to bia father but sufficient for bis little State, whose other Senator, Bates, fractured his thigh just as he was starting to take the seat mink va cant by Clayton.
