The advantapes pi8iesscd by the,f South in a manufacturing point of view arebeinr acknowl edged by the North itself, and i hey will snoner Dr later have a commanding influence thai will be felt not only throughout this country but in Europe I The; cotton mills now in operation iu some of the Southern States, especially in jGenr-' pia and Missiissippi hare acb.iyed such' resulls as to draw forth this aekuowlesreuieut. rihey jfind a are iu a most prosperous1 condition, and ready sale for all the poods I they can turn out. A Y'ork commercial journal, the Bulletin, f8: . i :.-!. M 'i! I ; "The South has neither the capital nor the trained manufacturing skill 3f the New Enjglaifcd States, and . cannot compete!' with them ii tha manufacture of cotton c-lothj but neither . very much capital nor very hiuchj skill are needed fr the manufacture of yarns j or for the j oarser grades of clothl-for which a ready home hu ark eit may beTound.) Those who have given Hi j sub ject careful attention and study, dec-lard thait yarns can be made cheaper m the South by five cents per. pound than in the North, andi that yarns made in tne onutti can-oe soia in Europe (bur aud a halt cents cheaper per pound! than yarns made in Europe of exported American cotton." : I ii The only two difficulties, says the Richmond Whir. the South has to encounter in the manu facture of the .higher grades, of cloth 'consist, according to the Bulletin, iu,the want of capital 4nd skilled labor, j Now., as these manufactures can be,' carried ion so much' more cheaply in th? South than in phe Jorth thefe should be no dif ficulty in i procuring the necessary laboif and capital. .New Lbngland manulaclurers will not hesitate to move their establishments with a0 their operatives Southward in order to eugtige in them if they can realize a greater profit here than there. It is said that a spinning mill that would employ eijihty-seveu operatives and consume eight hundred and eighty-seveu bales of ottoa yearly would uot cost more than $50,000, and at Northern prices, the estimated profits on the stiles of its anutkal yarn product would be 17 q00, W h jt wbu1q be the cost of a juiill j fbr the itianufacture ol! the' higher! grades of cloth-, and what number of skilled-operatives would) be nef caessary to conduct it, we are not iht'orined; but surely thei'e ought to be no difficulty in procurj. ing both if profits commensurate with the above may be reckoned upon.

We have seldom seen more common sense condensed in a few word than in the following extract from one of hid late discourses : j'M r Bt echer instanced a number of men who, by reason of inferior bodily conditions, ever car ried about with them a melancholy - monomania that whs the great blight of their life.

He knew anoth er !man v ho fiad a chronic bad temper, which was traceable to overfeeding, and directly he left off beefsteaks his temper went swuy also.

All of the ail- nieaits to which flesh is heir, and innumerable , forms of mania, can be traced to some deviation from tho laws of hygiene on the part of the suf ferer or of his forefathers. This fact is acknowl edged now by all men ofee'ence; but little is it understood by the masses of the people. NvFew are the bodies perfectly sound, snd as feware the minds entirely free from disease. Some have lived to three-score and ten. who hae hardly ever Been a day of pctfect bodily health, and many a man has passed an existence made terrible by the abnormal action of hit mind, whtise unsoundness has not only been not known to others, but not even flipped cd by! himself. Few are the madmen who are t ouscions that they are; crazy, and it is a merciful proviniro that keeps that knowledge from the poor sufferers. The most 'awful c md.tion conceivable is that of one who feels that his mind is diseased, and the initst harrowing pictures of human suffering ever drawn are those of King Lear, and of Io in the PiOmctheus Duundj! fur they bcth know, that they are mad. ! ; . t The number of people of unsound mind is far LTChter than is generally supposed.

The question of the criminality of tnsopr acta is ai grave one when we know that the limits be tweien sanity and insanity are so ill-defined,' and . that so many cafes of the mind are but the oa tural consequences of disease of the body. There have len many instances in which men have been condemned for crime when they should have been shaved, blistered, snd put under the shower-bath. On the other hand., we know that the ."ph a of iusfinity" is but too often tucceuful in sib i eld in real criminals from justice; but many a t ne has Wen. without doubt, thus cleared by appeal of skillful counsel which have awakened . in the jurymen the well-founded suspicion that pr bfbly they themselves were not sfe sane as th y had always believed tbctnrelves to be.
