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.

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.

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.
