COTTON REGIONS OF THE EAST.
In a loiter from Henry T. Johnson, to
the correspondin'; Sec re; ary of the Na
tional Institute at Washington city, and
dated Hong Kong, China , April 18, 1846.
in which the writer oilers suggestions and
hints on the cultivation, manufacture, and
consumption of various articles the situ i la r
growth of America and India, wo find j
the following in relation to cotton. “They
‘ J |
are made fiom personal observations and
inquiries at the different places men- |
tinned. **
Colion. —This product is cultivated :
throughout the vast regions of the East, I
between the latitudes of ‘lO deg., south ;
and noiih of the line, hut nowhere is the '
(juaiitv equal to nurmvn. The principal
part which is grown comes from the Pie- j
sidencies of Madras and Bombay, under |
the East India Company’s Government. I
ll is also now attempting in Ceylon, lint it |
will fail if it is attempted to fie grow n j
largely. The preparation is exceeding! v |
careless and negligent, the quality of
short staple, and very infeii *r. It is
brought fom the districts of Tinnivillv
and Southeast India, in Madras, and
Tutecoreeh, Cochin, Guzerat, Surat, and
other provinces of 11ie Bombay Govern
ment. It is always repicked and packed
in those two cities, under the inspection of
the native ami European merchants, and
piesseil into hales containing not less than |
throe hundred pounds by powerful screw |
presses, worked by manna/ labor, some- j
thing on the piiucipleof working a cap
stan on hoard ship, liv capstan liars. Its ,
principal market is China, where, on ac
count of old prejudices, and its short,
silky, tough fibre, it is preferred to Ameri
can. The shipments to China rarely ex
ceed 260,000 bales a year, and is falling
off on account of iho low price that manu
factured cottons and yarns can he put
down here from England and America.
The consumption in China of manufac
tured cottons of various kinds, foreign
and domestic, can he safely stated at fifty
cents per annum for each individual of a
population of three hundred and fifty mil
lions. The consequence of this large
consumption is extensive importations
from America and England, chiefly con
fined to stunt fabrics am! yarns undved. i
The y are thoroughly acquainted with the
art of dyeing in all i's branches.
1 he Chinese, from remote times, have
used cotion for various other purposes be
sides clothing. Their coverlets, answer
ing the purpose of blankets, a'C used, as
i understand, throughout the nation, nonh
and south, in conjunction with woollen
blankets. They are made by cardinc !
r- j
the cotton in layers, something or rather
in the precise form of w hat we call ‘‘cot
ton hatting" in the United States, and
covered with calico ticking, quilted as we
do at home. [’his and the making it into
mattresses and pillows, and alscrstuffing
into cloihes. w Inch a re quilted in I he same
way as their coverlets, makes a large con
sumption throughout the country. A i
Chinese in the southern provinces uses
very little wool in winter, prefer ring «ulks
and these stuffed cotton jackets and cloaks
to any tiling else. ‘They likewise use it
in large quantities, in conjunction with
bamboo, for making the finest qualities of
the.r paper. These facts are w'ell worthy
the atlf n'ion of our cotton ph liters.
There is a large consumption of native
grown cotton in Java and the other Dutch
possessions of the Eastern Archipelago,
as there is also in the Spanish islands of
Luconia and Mindinao. The Malays of
these islands are very ingenious in :he
manufacture of their cotton fabrics, and
make nearly enough to supply the de
mands of their several countries. They
are tolerably acquainted with the art of
dyeing, and their dyes stand wed. It the
Dutch and Spanish Governments we r e not
so monopolizing in their policy, there
would be, doubtless, a much larger con
sumption of American yarns and cotton
fabrics in these vast continental regions of
the East. It is a singular fact, not gene
rally known, however, that Javanese and
Bugese made cotton fabrics meet in the
Singapore and Penang market* in large
competition w ith English and American
articles of the same nature.
The people of India will never be able
to compete to any extent with the United
Slates in the cultivation of cottoo.
The entire growth of cotton in British
India and Ceylon may safely be put down,
after much inquiry on the subject, at
800.000 hales of 300 pounds each. The
di-po-iiion of this crop, more or less, is
nearly us follows:
Shipped to China from
Calcutta, Madias, and
Bombay, 230.000 bales.
•f 7
Shipped to England from
the same (daces, 200,000 hales.
Manufactured in India
by handlooo.s, 570 000 biles.
The manufacture of cottons in India is
still in a vigorous state in many pans,
paiticularly in Madras, where the work
men are very ingenious. They are much
j superior in quality, as regards strength
and durability, :o any other. The manu
factures consUt of longcloths, (-oiling in
the markets under the style of C nail’s,
piece goods, &c ) towels, sheets, bed
ticks, coverlets, table cloths, rnaskelto
nettings. &c.
Cottonseeds are used in India as food
i for cattle hes >re and as er they have been I
j pressed. They make a good deal of oil i
from them forMise in medicine, (applied j
to the skm for clearing it of spots and .
freckles,) and also. I believe, for burning
and oilier purposes. Some years ago
small quantities of oil were made in our
Southern States from the cotton seeds, j
and I d > not see why it should not he :
made in an extensive way, for the pur
i pose of lighting, oiling machinery, and |
others. The seeds must he dried before .
1 pressing. The oil has been said to con
tain too much rnnctllaginous matter to Ire
i nsi d for burning. This may he- got rid
! of by the same means that the oil manu
facturers free common Lain oil fiom its

i A Useful Hint for every-day Inter- I
1 course. — ll was Goldsmith, we think, who i
i said that nine-tenths of the peity feelings ,
; and small difficulties springing Loin every ;
j day intercourse without - fellow.menorigi- i
nute w ith ourselves. Few of us, said lie, j
possess such "ell balanced minds, that
i we are not operated upon by a spirit of i
1 envy or dislike. I have seen the success
j of a former companion and associate so \
disturb the feelings of a friend that ii con
vet ted him into a hitler enemy. It is an j
indication of a great mind to see and ac
knowledge the merits of a former asso
date, and to he justly proud of them.—
; But it is the sure indication of a paltry,
little, and envious mind to lake every oc
j casino to detract ami to deteriorate from
j the talents or attainments of one who has
i given his days and nights to the most per
severing industry that he might do some
good to the age in x\ hich he lived. It is a
I x'
capital mistake, (very often fallen into.) 1
when we act upon the principle, that, by ;
awarding the due meed of praise tooth- :
ors, we therefore detract from the con- I
i sideration, which our fellow men ma v en- !
tertain (or us. The history of all true i
distinction will show, that the very re- ,
verse of this proposition is strictly true. :
Truly great minds are never envious, hut ,
I small ones always.
l 'Thrcc Cheers."—Ludicrous Scene. —
One Sunday recently, during high mass
at 12. in the village of Glentariff. Ireland, '
three ladies of the Protestant faith were
obliged to lake shelter from one of those ;
heavy summer showers which so fre
quently occur in the south of Ireland. :
The officiating priest, knowing who they i
were, and wishing to appear respectful to :
them, stooped down to his attendant, who
was on his knees, and whispered to him,
“three chairs (or the Protestant ladies.”
The clerk, who was rather an ignorant
man, stood up and shouted out to the con.
| gregation, “three cheers for the Protest
j unt ladies!” w hich the congregation im
mediately took up, and gave three hearty
cheers, while the clergyman actually
stood dumb.founded.

Morals of Boston. — A writer in the
Con rior-gim s a dark picture of the retro
grade of virtue in Boston. In Ward 2,
he says, the overseer and assessor told
me, there were over 300 dl inking places,
i many of them kept by low and woithless
characters. It is computed that from
600 to 800 rum howling alleys are in
operation, to the ruin of many youth--, to
say nothing of the boys educating there
sot the House of Correction. As to the
Initial d morns and gambling places, they
occupy the upper room, ofthe chief cor
ners of many principal streets, and have
| their bars, a* the usual appendages of
such vile places. And last, though ivot
least, licentiousness abounds as a com
mon accompaniment of the foregoing.
Boston is advancing hack vvatds certainly.
CO”A (ientist writes the following story
to the Lowell Courier: “A fellow came
to me the other day, wanting to have some
cavities in his teeth filled up. 1 examined
his teeth carefully, and told him that I
did not see any cavities; but I mus need*
look again, for he was confident that there
were several. But I again told him that
I could find none, and he went away.—
A week or two after I met with him and
a>ked him about those teeth. ‘Oh!’ said
he **Whai's-his-name over here filled
them forme—he found four holes—pret
ty large ones, too. I knew they were
there. 1 ‘Ah.’said I, ‘1 looked very care
fully and did no! see any.’ ‘Well,’ said
he, die didn't find 'em till after he'd drill
ed a spell!' "
[From the Southern Recorder. J
FACTS TO THINK OF-GOOD PRICE FOR COTTON
Messrs. Editors —lt is admitted by ail,
that we are more interested in the pro
duction of cotton than in that of any other
commodity. The [nice of our labor, and
the value of our property, b th depend on
its price. If it rises, they go up—if it
; falls, they fall. Now, it is universally
admitted liiat demand and supply regu
late lb • price of everything. The quan
tity of cot on being g eat, the price paid
fur a few years past, has not remunerated
ns for more than tne cost of production.—
To increase the price, we must, hum out
new mod s of its consumption; xve must
bring it info use in every possible way.
In the fir-i place we require flagging, an
nually, for about 2 300.006 hales, which
at 5 yards per bale, is 11,500,000 yards.
Each yard weighs one and three fourths
pounds, making 20,125 000 pounds. Add
one tenth for w a>te in manufacturing, and
the amount of cotton consumed in making
bagging would he 22,137 000 lbs. equal
Ito 55.342 hales at 400 lbs. each. Now,
i almost this entire amount of bagging is
\ made of hemp, instead of being made of
cotton; consequently, instead of consum
ing the amount, by converting it into cotton
bagging, we throw it upon the market to
help diminish the price, and we take from
1 our cotton crop the cost of the bagging,
say 8)2,000,000 to pay fur it. Had we
not lielter save it?
j Again—we have in Carolina,-Georgia,
1 Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Mis.sissip
pi and Louisiana, 1,700,000 slaves, and
; for t!i se, we pay annually <52,125,000
for blankets—which goes entirely out of
onr country to add to the wealth of others.
Can we not save this at home, by using
j cotton, instead of woollen blankets; it
I would consume 37.000 hales of cotton per
annum, which is thrown upon the market
and serves in reduce its value. I was
I conversing with a very intelligent and
worthy farmer wlo resides in Putnam
: county a few days since, who made this
statement to me: That for the three last j
years, he had used nothing hut bagging \
made from cotton, which he procured at I
the E itoiilon Factory; that he found it i
" 7 . I
1 the cheapest and best bagging he could
use. It weighed about 1 |*lb. per yard—
was well made—stiong and durable—
that he could pack a good deal more in a
five yard hag of it, than any other kind of ;
hag ofthe same size. He further stated I
that he had for the same lime used cotton
blankets for Ids negroes instead of wool
len; that they were equally as warm,
lasted longer, and were much cheaper.—
He purchases cotton bagging for the pur
pose, and as er washing it once, it becomes
very thick. He sews two breadths to
gether, and thus gets a I) ariket ninety
; inches long by eighty-six incites wide.—
j 'Pitts is larger than the common blankets.
They weigh 8 lbs.—twice the weight of
; an}' others, and cost just ninety cents. —
i His negroes prefer them to any others.—
' And then, says he, I pay out no money
either for bagging or blankets. 'Lite Fac
tory company are willing to exchange
with me for corn, wheat, bacon, lard, or
cotton at the usual prices.
Now, Messrs. E liters, here are facts
reliable and truthful, which point clearly
|to the interest ofthe farmer. The facts
I have stated come from a farmer who
i well knows his interest, and who seldom
mistakes the true line of policy. Are
they not sufficient to enlist the attention
of every one, and ought not every farmer
to turn fiis attention to their consideration?
Let him make the experiment, and see if
he cannot be successful. Ihe hag'dim
may be had at the Eatontou Factory, and
in exchange for other articles. 'Pry the
experiment, and then let the public know
the result. Let ns live at home and with
in ourselves; and we cannot learn how
to do so, unless each one gives us his ex
perience. AGRICOLA.
(Ur’The Professor of Mathematics at
the Royal College nfSt. Petersburg}! is a
young American, who, some years since,
was met by the Rev. Mr. Gallaudet at
Hartford. The boy asked the reverend
gentleman if he knew any body that
wanted a boy to work, and to learn to
read, saving he had run away from the
workhouse because they xvould not teach
him to read. The gentleman took the
boy’s case in hand; and after winning a
mathematical prize in France and one in
England, the Autocrat sent a request, ac
companied with means, for him to go to
Russia.
Westphalia plan of smoking Haras. —
A room in a garret; fire in the cellar;
I smoke gathered in a tunnel and led to the
smoke rooms by a small pipe; hv the time
it get* there all the heaviest part of the
pyroligneous acid has condensed, and the
smoke has become coni. Nothing touche*
the hams but a pure, light, cool smoko,
which i-allowed to pass off by a number
of small apertures, about as fast as it is
applied.
Clocks Made by Steam. —A Yankee in
New York is manufacturing brass clocks
by steam. Hetumsout 100 clocks daily,
in complete order, and beautifully finish
ed. The wheels are pressed out of sheet
brass. In other xvords. a large roll of
sheet brass is put into a heavy press; af
ter a few twistings the brass comes out
in the shape of finely finished wheels, at
the rate of 6ft per minute.

THE AMERICAN TARIFF.
The American news brought by the
steamship Cambria is of considerable im
portance. The battle of protection has
been lost simultaneously in the eastern
and western hemispheres. While the
last wail departed Corn law was
resounding in our House of Peers, the ac
cordant ele"y over a defeated tariff was
chanted in the American Senate. Whilst
here Lord Stanley was making a deco
rous show of resistance in a hopeless
cause, bets were laid with difficulty in
New A ork as to the division in the Sen
ate. There tfie cause of protection was
move obstinately defended and more hope
fully wagered on. There no illustrious
general brought the influence of a time
honored name and highly valued services
to cow the expression of private feeling
or thwart the advocacy of particular in
terests. Therefore the senators spoke
and Voted according to their consciences
or their interests. And so equally bal
anced were the chances of free trade and I
protection, that even after the votes on i
j distinct divisions were known, the final
result could not be safely prophesied.—
; A majority of 28 to 27 eventually deci- |
i ded a measure of consummate importance |
' to all engaged in commercial transac- j
i tions w ith America, which means to every I
nation of Europe. Henceforth the prin- |
ciple of duties for protection must he con j
sjdered as abandoned in the United States, i
Tne duties which remain, insufficient to i
compass the objects of protection, are !
quite high enough to insure a tevenue to
the state, ranging as they do from 20 to
40 per cent, on their value.
The alteration in the American tariff
c°nnoi but be regarded as a great triumph
gained by the principles of free trade.— i
With us, various other considerations ;
were imported into a discussion which
ought to have been purely economical; i
passions were excited on a subject which I
I ought to have been decided by reasoning ;
alone; and the interests of invividnals !
I were enlisted in a cause which ought to ]
I have regarded only the interests of the |
public. It was made a question between j
; town and country —between the landed !
gentry and Iho mercantile class’ — nay, j
i even between the peerage and the peo- i
| pie. Everything that could stimulate the |
spiiit of partizanship or whet the appetite
for innovation was pressed into the aer- i
vice of doctrines whose native truth and
excellence in the end vindicated them
selves. But in America it has been other
wise, A new country presents fewer
| materials for civil dissension than an old
: one. Classes are less distinctly marked;
j caste has leaver external symbols, what
ever may be its esoteric signs in a re
! public like the States. Bui, besides this
i every new State inherits the commercial
doctrines of the olderkingdoms of Europe.
They all have inherited some portion
or another of the “commercial sx'slem”
which Spain first employed and after
wards imparted to England and France.
This hereditary prejudice is confirmed
by a spontaneous impulse.
A false knowledge is pressed into the
service of a natural ambition. Each
new state desires to produce everything
independently of all other nations. It
wishes to amicipate the fruits of many
j generations. It is ambitious of becom
ing at once an agricultural, a mercantile
O “
and a manufacturing country. Follow
ing the lights transmitted to it from form
o o
er days, it imagines such results can be
. r' -
; attained by restricted statutes and high
I customs duties. It thus creates an ani
j ficial branch of home manufactures; hut
|it does so at a vast expense. While it di
verts no small labour of its citizens from
its natural channels, it imposes a heavy
burden upon the rest. It in the first place
! induces many to transfer their industry
and their capital from natural and obvi
ous sources of wealth, and then it forces
j the others to remunerate an unnatural
i employment by an unnatural sacrifice.—
ll imposes a tax upon every consumer in
the states on purpose to repay the cost of
an artificial production. With the hope
j of encoii! aging industry, it fosters mono
! poly; and protesting to extend commerce,
j it strikes it with a fatal blow.
An error of this kind must, sooner or
• later, be found out. The benefit of a few
will not conceal or palliate the loss and
i the injury of the many. There has long
been in the United States a party anxious
to realize the doctiines of free trade.—
Their efforts have been resisted by the in
difference of one class and the selfishness
of another. But when the first cornmer
cial people in the world flung away the
tethersol an obsolete prejudice, and court
ed the competition of rival industry, then
the friends of trade in every quarter
| of the globe gained confidence and hope.
! A new movement began; its first fruit is
I the rnooification of the American tariff.
The principle which most pecnliary
marks the new acts is a good one. Whilst
it reduces the duties on articles of neces
sity, it in some instances raises, and in
| otiiers leaves untouched, those on luxu-
I lies. It thus gives to the poor man the
I opportunity of exchanging Ids labor on
the best terms to himself; whilst it com
pels the rich man to purchase on terms
1 most profitable to the state. It destroys a
I miscalled protection; it continues a pro
-1 ductive impost.
