Cotten mills and ijiaruif.irtr.rit :s of every kind are rapidly si.riniti up iti the Southern State. Thank to the firm and humane policy of the (Govern ment in suppressing difor-Jer and re moving disabilities, it U row safe ior Northern capitalists to invest in the South, and the people (here have awak ened to new life, and set uhout repair log their broken fort tinea The most successful efforts, have Lecn made in Alabama ami ('Jeovgia. Thou sands of spindles are now running within tight of the cotton fields. In Alabama eix factories with forty-lhreo thousand epindles, consume more than twenty thousand bales of cotton. A similar growth of manufacturing power is visi ble io all the cotton States. A company Tras organized last year for the erection of a cotton factory at Little Hock, Arkansas- Prior to the war, the growth of cotton inspired au insane ambition. Each planter strove to excel his neighbor in producing the first bale of the season, the greatest quantity to the hand, and in making the largest yield. His crop was consigned to his merchant in New Orleans, who shipped it to Europe and the North. The money realized went to pay last years bills for supplies, and the surplus went toopen more land, buy more negroes, and a fiord a luxurious1 sojourn at northern waterirg places. The common farm crops were too in significant to receive attention, and do mestic manufactures were not known. Cotton was King. After a few months the planter bought back his bales in the j phape of spun, woven and manufactured goods its cost increased in currying and manipulation an hundred fold ; a cost that could have been mostly saved by "having manufactories at hand. Again, the corn, flour, oats, hay, pota toes, fruits, beef, poik, butter, cheese, even onions, cabbages, beets, turnips, aDd egg, were brought from abroad We have often sat at luxuriant South ern tables where two or three articles only were grown within five hundred miles. It was the same with imple ments of labor and common use. All machinery, wagons, plows, carts, har rows, hoes, rakes, harness.saddles, tub, buckets, household furniture, lumber, laths, shingles, even down to clothes pins j hats, clothing, boots and shoes ; even the rough wear of their slaves, were brought from tho North. It was pitiful to see that fertile land thus drained of its wealth, and the people so dependent. That the planters of the cotton States, under these frightful disadvantages, still became rich, proves the prodigious fertility of the soil and its capacity for producing wealth. That they were able to spring from this de pendent condition, and suddenly de velop such resources, and display such prodigious fortitude and energy as the recent war brought to the surface, is a proof of what those States may bt come under n improved economy. Let the men of the North nnd the South understand each other. Let the capital and skill come uear the pro ducing soil. Erect the factory close by the plantation, so that the man who has cotton to sell and cotton goods to buy for his use, may, with his own Dcmarara team, send his bales to tho mill in the morning and bring back his cotton goods and spun-yarn at night thus getting the value of his labor, instead of being put off with a pittance per pound, while factors and shippers, and hucksters, ami manufacturers three thotwmd miles away, grow rich out of hi-, leanness. Under the better order of things now coming in. each plantation sup plies its own home wants. They are beginning to produce grain, vegetables, fruits and animals fur their consump tion ; and small artizans and manufactu rers of implements find employment in their neighborhoods. Cotton will be a rich surplus ; and incase of a failure of a season's c;op, the planter can go through without bankruptcy or crushing del t to ' his merchant." This is, to the South, the dawn of a real independence better than secession an i slavery. With oblivion for all that r.it.kh d in the patrt ; with mingling in terests and closer social ties, this peo ple will be what iod intends, "one and inseparable." ('OMKTARY ImI.I.K.VCK ON' THK Wkathkr.-A Wa.-hin-ton paper stated recently that the impression prevails iti ong scientists there that the coming citmct is the cause of the late dry spell of weather which has been felt so se verely till the late rains. If such a drouth is one of the first fruits of the enming meteor wo might well dread the harvest of distress and blight itt store for it. But the idea of cometary in. Iluenee on the atmosphere can hardly he entertained by scientific men. The tact has been attested by a long series of observations that these eccentric vis itanrs do not radiate sufficient heat to a fleet the most sensitive mercurial ther mometer yet constructed ; and from that it would set m to follow that the popu lar notions of their mcteorologic agency have no foundation. So far, however, from occasioning long dry spells, the Hashing train has been popularly re garded as the augary of a bountiful harvest and vintage. The comet of 1 S 1 1 was supposed to be the cause of the prolific and abundant crops which were almost universal io the Old and New Worlds. Even now, in the latter it is not uncommon to hear of the comet year, and wines have sometimes been sold at a high figure, under the fancy of some influence produced by the tail of a favorite comet. It is said by close ob servers that other comets of late years have apparently had some physical in fluence in -producing fine agricultural yields, and it may be the spretroscopc, with its wonderful powers of analysis, may ere long enable physicists to settle the long agitated problem of the con stitution and influence of these vast ne bulous streams. A Long Bridge. The Tensas and Mobile bridge, or bridges, on the Mo bile and Montgomery Ilailroad, extends from iensas station, on the Mobile and Montgomery road, to the city of Mobile a distance of fifteeu miles, crossing both the Mobile and Tensas rivers, and in cluding ten draws, one for each cf the navigable channels into which tho rivers are divided. The bridge itself is con structed of wood, but its pillars or sup ports are iron cylinders, which rest on a solid surface of piles driven down evenly with the bottom of tho stream and the mud of the intervening morasses It has been three years in tho course of construction, at a cost of about $1,500, 000 j and now that it has been success fully completed, it is perhaps the long est structure of tho kind on tho globe. A new fashioned ring is made of a wide band of gold reaching nearly to the first joint of the finger, nnd is studded with alternate lengthwise rows of tor quoise and pearls, or small emeralds and diamonds. Subscribe for the Republican. Nine H ives too Many. From the Detroit Free Press, A Brooklyn official numed Prell ar rived in Detroit yesterday morning for the purpose of making the arrest of a mau named James Kingsbury,! on the charge of bigamy. Prell had ja letter directing him to a manufacturing es tablishment on Atwatcr street, where he expected to find Kingsbury aj work, but ou going to the shop he 1'ouod that his man had left for Saginaw the day be fore It seems that Kingsbury, who has until recently resiled in the East, married a woman at Mt. Morris,N. about seven years ago. Ho lived with her about six months, and then ran away, turning up at Jersey City: a year after as a minister of the gospM, and having another rcifc. While the first wife was taking measures to have him arrested, Kingsbury slipped off to New Haven, stealing several hundred dol lars from his second wife. He Was not heard of again for ten months; tiud was then disc jvered serving as a clejk in a crockery store, and had been uirried about a mouth, the third wife being respectable and worthy young lady. The brother of wife No. 2 was com plainant in having Kingsbury arrested, ami tho bigamUt was placed behind the bars of a police station to be taken back to Jersey City. In some manner, which has never been satisfactorily explained, he made his escape fiom the Statiou, though closely pursued for several days he got into Pennsylvania and concealed himself. The relatives of wives one, two and tltree then made up a shake purse arid employed an official to pend his whole time looking after the iiAv d ;ver. He r 7 t - looked fr several months, and then gave up the chase until he saw a nonce in a II arri-bnrg paper that Kingsbury hud martied the. widowed landhdy of a hoarding house in tlut city, robbed her of her money and jewelry, nod been arrested in the act of absconding. The notice was a week old whon seen, and when Prell reached Harri-dmrg, Kingsbury had induced wife No. 4 to withdraw her prosecution, and, once out of jii), had made a successful escape, from what can be learned, Kingsbury was galavantiug through Ohio and Vir ginia for two or three years, taking a wife here and there, and it is quite eer tain that he came to Detroit a month ago from the Ohio Penitentiary, having served a short term there for being con- j nected with a horse-stealing terape in ! Lorain county. Kingsbury boarded. at a house ou Has i ings street, and had not been an initiate of the hou-e a week when he wanted to marry the servant girl, giving her to underftand that he was so n to come into possession of a large fottune. lleing addicted to drink, he one night got to feeling highly elated, nnd "blab bed" most of his Iiistory to a conipan ion. This man got the name of the wife at Jersey City, and wrote t her that Kingsbury was here. The letter was sent to Prell, nnd he came on as stated, but Kingsbury had departed. Prell left for Saginaw, as soon as possi ble, in hopes to catch the bigamist somewhere up the valley. It is be lieved that the man has, during the seven years, married at least ten women. Prell has personal knowledge of four more, and newspaper slips con cerning four more, and, as the fellow was lost track of for about two years, he probably married twice during that period. If arrested and given the average scutence for each time ho has married contrary to biw, ho will spend his remaining days in prison. HitANnr from Sawdust. Tn the current mouthly report of the Commis sioner of Agriculture, it is announced that there is au immense waiste of ma terial in our saw mills, where the saw dust is thrown away, and that it is pos sible to produce from this dust a good article ot brandy. It is suggested that the saw-dust of pine and of fir timber be mixed, and that a compound be pre pared composed ot :) parts moist saw dust, oJ.7 parts of water, and 1 part of hydro-chloric acid, making 4.J.8 parts altogether. These arc to be boiled under steam pressure eleven hours, when it will be found that 19 per cent, of the mass will bo grape sugar. Tho acid is to be neutralized with limo supplied with yeast. Alter ninety-six hours fer mentation, a distillation of the mash will produce sixty one quarts of brandy of f0 per cent, strength, and free from any smell of turpentine. It is claimed that in all probability many other woods than pino and fir will provo eveu bettei adapted to the production of brandy. If nothing better thau brandy cai be mado from it better not uss it. We furnish the Republican and DcmoraCs Monthly for ii a year. , iCJenliatiitne Kurgery.

For sever. weeks past the elephant had been suf- jtnng irom a most severe inflamation in his foredegs and feet - and fearing the old fellow would die, Mr. Forepaugh eonciueieu to place the animal under the 'Kt1feirt,d4-hlegand feef cut open ami ascertain the exact nature and extent of the malady.

Paid Hack with Usurv. In the year I8.'J2, at a muster for volunteers for the i laek Hawk war. Judge Samuel Woods, of Morgan count v. III., one day 'borrowed a picayune of Col. Sim Mat thews, to buy some apples Ui eat. Time rolled by, fraught with important mat ters, ever varying life to each, and the insignificant loan was forgotten, or, if remembered at all, never while in each others compmy. As age crept on. the active life of each was confined to nar row limits, and they remained more at home, seldom meeting The other day the veteran pioneers met in the office of John J rabue, and gradually became in tercftcd in a conversation that proved to I e quite extended. Scenes and in cidents of early life in Morgan county were recounted wi'h an interest as fresh and intense as though the venerable conversitionalists were again in their Yuth and prime, and had but emerged from the scenes they were relating. The muster day was recalled, when sucdetily the incident of the loan of the six and a quarter cents came up in the mind of him who borrowed if, and the other remembered it also. Then Judge Wood, the b"i rower, set to work and computed the interest for forty years ou the msig nifieant com, and compelled Col. Mat thews to take ti one dollar greenback which the principal and interest came to. Col. Matthews stoutly declined at first, but finally complied with the ur gent demands of his debtor, more to add interest to the incident than for the money. CONSKQUKNTIAI, DaMAOFS. . Oil page 451 of Senator W'ilson's " Rise and Fall of the Slave Power in Ameri ca," hp says (of a speech of the late Mr. (iiddings) ; " He referred to the treaty of Indian Springs, by which, after paying the slave Holders of Georgia the sums of 8100,000 for slaves who had escaped to Florida, it added the sum of 6141,000 as compensation demanded for the offspring which females would have borne to their masters had they remained in bondage ; and Congress actually paid that sum for children who were never born, but who might have been if their parents had remained faithful slaves." There is no clearer case of payment of " consequential damages" in English or American history than this. j The Alarama Claims.
