There his be:n es tablished lately in the city of Richmond a manufactory ef cotton and woolen cirds. The machines, three in number, are now in lull operation on Cary street, be low 15th, over Sieger's sewing-machine factory. 1 he cards turned out are equal to the best English cards we have ever seen. 1 ney are three and a quar ter inches wide, by twenty iu length. There are eighty eight teeth in every square inch, and four hundred and seventy s::c feci six inches of wire iu each card, thirty pair of wiiieh are turned out per day. It is estimated that eacfi machine will make seventy five, thousand teeth iu ten hours, tbe three working up eleven thousand two ttuudred and fifty feet of wire. '1 he demand icr these cards is very pressing, and al ready the company have been applied to to enter into coLtracts for the delivery ot a large quantity to the Confederate Government ; and also to the State of Vir ginia. The shares of stock have already risen very considerably, and seem to be still rapidly on the increase. Feme Coming Through Bankruptcy. The following able and instructive article from the New York Metropolitan Record cannot fail to arrest the attention of erery thoughtful reader. It is worthy of preservation, as abounding in sound financial views, and containing a most interesting chapter in the history of finance : Are there any sign of peace ? Are there signs of hu manity and reason breaking through tbe black clouds that hang over onr country ? Yes, there- are signs of peace, but not humanity and reason. The authors and managers of the war were lost to those virtues long before the war began. Peace, when it comes, will come in spite of them. They will fight against it, plot against it, and abandon the field of blood only when forced by inexorable necessity. As long as it is possi ble for the war to last, the party in power will hold to it, from motives of temporary Belf-dtfiance, as well as of avarice and revenge. The day of peace ends the theatre of their malice and plunder. Peace is to them what war is to tbe country ruin : what tbe dav of juugujcui is ii me sinner, a nnai settlement ol tbe whole course ot crime. Like the cornered highwayman, they will give up only through exhaustion. That point cjunot be far iff. They cannot get on mnnh further without an amount of money it will be impossible to raise by the sjstem of fraud and deception, which ap pears to be tbe only mean's comprehended by tbe ad ministration. In the sums required for the prolonged prosecution of the war, real money doea Dot exist with in the retch of tbe United States ; and printed or couo tetfeit money is rapidly approaching a crisis where it must burst like a babble, leaving nothing but its own froth behind it. Already the wily Secretary trembles for its fate. His printing presses are not worn out. It is easy enough to strike off a hundred thousand millions of printed money ; but the entangled Secretary begics at last to comprehend that the faster he prints, the swifter he hurries on the inevitable hour when a ship load of these promises to pay will not be worth tbe price of a single solcier's uniform. lie begins to understand that his paper balloon is in danger of collapsing at any moment. To-day the debt is bejond the reach of the real money. Even the New York Tribune, of a late issue, was forced to confrs3 that the people begin to fear that repudiation is oaly a question of time. The New York Times, moved by'a spirit of intelligence and candor quite unaccountable, warned the administration that it ma3t not hope to mortgage the property of the people to tha Govern ment, without fiaal repudiation of tbe whole 3ebt. .ven those blind organs can see that the popular con- filpnrf ViPfring tn ftilfcr Tt crrnc ra it miiot fnV unless the swelling tide of debt is immediately check ed. If, with all the unlimited resoartes which tbe banks, the capitalists and the people, so blindly com mitted to the use of the administration, it is still una ble to meet its obligations, what will be its fate when these props give way as they are ture to d either from exhaustion or lack of confidence ? Incompeten cy and dishonesty in tbe management of public fundi have run the ship of State almost ashore. An army of plunderers ha3 assailed the treasury ten times more to be dreaded than all the armed hosts of recession. Tbe wives and daughters of Government officials and contractors are bespangled with diamonds, while the wives and daughters of our soldiers are freezing or starving in' unpitied, in ' helpless neglect.' It is said that defalcations and theft of Republican officials amount to over a thousand million annually ! While thi3 is going on,. the Secretary of tbe Treas ury, poor wretch, sits there, plunged up to bis cbia in a sea of treasury warrants. Whichever way he turns is a boundless prairie of unpaid demands. To all he says, in the language of the poor man in the Testament "sil ver and gold have I none." Tba clatter of tbe print ing presses reminds him that every hour ha will have less. Like a man in Maelstrom, he finds himself swept on by the devouring eddies until be isToeyond the reach ol help or the hope of mercy. He struggles ! He cries for help 1 He throws up .'-is hands in agony ! In vain! Nothing can save him from the mighty gulf of waters Under the direction of such captains as Lincoln and Ubase, the Bhip cf State is whirling round in the cuter current of a financial Maelstrom. Nothing can save it. You may cry "traitor" at every man wh) tells the truth about the matter, but such cries will not check the speed at which the Administration drives on into bankruptcy. Let it drive on, since its deluded suppor ters will not be satisfied until the crash comes. And when it comes the war must end- and disastrously, dis gracefully, to those who have conducted it ; but happi ly to tbe nation, since we can have peace on no lighter terms. As it is certain that there can be no step taken to save or reconstruct the Union, until there is an end of fighting, the people will welcome any ordeal, how ever severe, that brings about the beneficent result. Reckless and shallow men will rave at the mention of the word repudiation. I3ut their profanity does not mend tbe matter los3 not close the door of even their stolid intellect against the conviction that it is inevita ble. The sum is a simple one. The interest on the present debt is $1,400,000,000, fourt::n hundred mil lions of dollars every ten years. The annual export of agricultural productions of the North, for tbe ten years ending ra 18G3, amounted to only $63,817,39. Here after the surplus wealth of the North will fall, for a great many years, far below the abovejSgures, because a million of men who have bt2n producers of wealth, have been drawn ofi into the army, where they have not only ceased to be producers, but Lave become non producing consummers, and destroyers of wealth al ready accumulated. If all the surplus productions of the North and West are hereafter given up to the Gov ernment, they will pay only a fraction ol the bare in terest on the war debt. That is, if all the farmers, pro ducers and laborers give up t j the Government evry dollar of their earnings, except what, barely supports fe, they can only succeed in paving a fraction of tbe interest on the Kepubiican debt. What must become the principal where the payment ot the interest is beyond the possible reach of the people T Is there any escape, except through the door by which cur conti nental dtbt as rolled on from the Ehculders ol the people ? - Repudiation, therefore, is not a question of right or . t- I A 11 nfr .-.m tint .I? wronr', DUuOi neueaauy. muai. ngicc luat icpuui ation is aVexv bad thiLg, but this general condemna tion doea Tjoi remove its mt uaomy. ueatn is an nnweloome visitor to all, but all must, nevertheless, . x i 1 r i - submit to it. i ne wrer.cn wno Buouicmavise men, m their lives, to ignore tne iaci mat xney must uie, nas a mate in the fool who would prevent men from di3 cussin" this question, so vital to a nation's life. Moran, in his (in most respects) excellent work on money, says uuiuuu.u yi javucjr wuuui, ononpccfnllv. for any length of time, perform the func tions of money, beciuse it is invariably issued as a fi nancial resource in moments oi emergency, p-enerniiy when war is ruthlessly aestroyiog doiu are ana proper ty. Government paper money, instead of representing existing results of labor, ready to redeem the paper money on cerat na oi me uuiuera, umy represents prop erty aEd 11V38 aireauy uuubuuicu ut ucairuje-i, urju la bor nnproductively employed. How can such paper issues long perform the lunctions of money, when me tallic money cannot perform them, unless constantly redeemed with unusuat resuua ui iauur auu wun use ful services ? Money cannot be redeemed with useful results of labor, unless these have been produced, econ omized, and thus exist for those who desire tbem in exchange for money." Our own continental money, based upon the credit of tbe government cf the United States, is a luminous example of the fate of such money. We have only to cast our ees backwards eighty years to get a vision ot the path we are traveling now. As the Continental Congress increased its paper issues, the price f every thing went up, or, more properly speaking, the value of the government paper went down. At first, this result was foolishly charged to speculators in silver and gold, just ns similar foolish people charge now. All such were denounced as enemies ol their country. Iq such cases the stores of merchants were broken open, and their goods sold at lin . :d prices by committees appointed by the people. As early as 177C, Congress rienicpri that "whoever should refuse to receive in rav- ment'continental bills should be declared an 'enemy of his country." That is, an wno aia not succeed in making the Government's mere promise to pay equal to cold and silver, were to be outlawed, ihe penalties inflicted, at different times, to keep up the credit of Government paper were most disgraceful to all con cerned in them ruining many thousands of innoceut people, while they could bung no relief to tbe pressing necessities of the Government. Never waa causa more irjqt than our revolution. xever was a debt more hnnmtlv contracted. Bat it had toberepudiated.be fona( it. waS besond the reach of all moLev at the command of the country, and it is not in the power of man to make mere-paper promise oi government long nas for monev. It was inevitable that the continental money should sink in value in proportion to the increpse ot its issue, 'ine nrstMsauc wua wuc luma. me depreciation began in three year3 afterwards, and went on, as follows : March, 1778,81 in coin was worth 81 75 in pa per. September. 1778. SI ra coin was worm io ra paper. Mareh, 1779, 81 in coin waa worth ftlfi in September,. 1779, 01 in coin was worth 818 in pa- per. March, 1780, 8l in COin was worth Skdfl in nancr. December, 1780, $1 in coin was worth 8100 in pa per May, 1781, 81 in coin waa worth 8500 in paper. Not long after these days the holders of Government money paid 820,000 for a ham, and 810,000 for half a pound of tea. - Nobody could complain that the debt was not fairly Contracted. But failnra nnrl renndiation wprp" none. thp. less inevitable. But who, let ua ask, when the people come to their senses, will respect the, debt which this Administration will leave upon the country ? To be sure ttey will be told that the debt must be honestly paid, ut who can promise that the people will not take it into their hed3 to ask if it was honestly con tracted ? If one half is due to the partisan-official plunder, and the other half to expenditures recklessly or unconstitutionally incurred, who dare affirm that the people will Dot, in some moment of desperate impa tience under the crushing load, throw the whole burden from their shoulders ? The fool or the fanatic may shut his eyes and eay all is right, but the wise and tbe prudent man will ca'm'y question history and the pas sions of men, and endeavor by the past, to form a judg ment of tbe future. . .These will ba great and absorbing questious pretty scoa : - How much of this d bt was stolen from the treasury by the party who saddled ua with it ? Is it a Constitutional expenditure of .the people's money to buy negroes from the border States, and let them lose to comr-ete with us in all the labor mar kets of our country.? Is it constitutional to take our money !o send equals of negro-kiseing men and women from Yaukeadom to teach actiqtattd darkeys in the Carolinas how to read tbe New England primer ? , Is it constitutional to spend the peoples money in annually transporting a,pirtisao portion of tbe army to and from the battle field, to control the Northern elec Vm ? TLe partisan knave will profess to soiff "treason" in these question?; but the wis.; 'wan and patriot will re gard tnem as being likeiy to some day influence the minds and actions of the people. Those, who blindly throw themselves on the national faith and tbe point of honor, lor the burdening lsbor with ejjormous unbear able contributions, and transmitting that burden un questioned to posterity, are neither patriots nor states men. Tbe working classes, who cannot be held, tiiher in their own persons or those of their ancestors, to be in any degree responsible for this recklesa, unnecessary and unconstitutional expenditure, and to be charged iu perpetuity with a burden not to be levied oa any pro perty presumed to have been benefited or protected by that expenditure, but on their muscles, brains and sinews, generation alter generation. The theory of the Administration is that the entire property and industry of the nation are mortgaged for the redemption of its papsr promises to pay. It seems to be obvious of the fact that all this property is in the hands of individuals or depends upon the result of individual enterprise. Behind all this sit3 the individ ual will, on which depends entirefy the question of the redemption of Mr. Lincoln's paper promises to pay. YVe have seen that the whole surplus income of the country will fall a good way short of paying even the interest ou the debt, and we must sick interest and principal together, at no distaut day, unless a change speedily comes over the dream of the Administration. 1 hat change is not to be hoped for. As well look for life in tbe dead as to expect wislom in the Adminis tration. Must the country, then, abandon the last hope of escape from financial ruin ? It S3em3 inevita ble. But there is a redeemable star shining in this night of a finance. The day that breaks the paper bubble of the Administration, will also stop the use less, the horrible shedding of blood of our country men! The moon sheds its bright beams upon the gloomy vault of the graveyard so the star of psace shines above the dark gulf of bankruptcy. Ir!h Emigration to the United iat. From the Cork Examiner, March 9. Oa Thursday the Inman steamer, the City of Balti more, Captain Mirehouse, arrived in the harbor at an early hour. The Baltimore, on this occasion, was em ployed as an extra boat, in addition to the ordinary weekly sailing. She brought from Liverpool four hun dred passengers, and took in here something over one hundred, leaving for Thursday's steamer no le33 than four hundred more, of whom it is probable not more than half will be able to find room. Tbe Cunard ex tra steamer, which eails this week, will not only carry out a full complement, but booking for it was stopped ten days ago. The emigrants now leaving are of a class that one cannot help regretting. We defy even the fiercest doctrinaire to stand upon the deck of one of these departing vessels and say that the absence of the people be sees there can, by any possibility, be a source of benefit. They comprise all aces, but in very different proportions. The young and the old are to be Been the hoary father, the tottering mother, the leeble child, have their place. But tbe bulk is com posed ot the adolescent, or those in the prime of life. Stalwart young men, fulf of health and vigor; young women, tbe gaudy bad tcs. e of whose at tire cannot conceal that they have the beauty, tbe ac tivity, the bounding health lor which the Irish peasant girl has been remaikable. Among them all .there is scarcely one to be seen poorly attired. From the Sligo Champion, March 9 Last week a large number of well dressed, healthy looking young men and women passed through the town, on their way to Queenstown, and some to Derry, the steamers sailing from thee ports appearing to be in high favor with the emigrants. We learn from our cor respondent that an UDprecedentedly large numbsr of emigrants have this week left the neighborhood of Bal lina, Swinfard, Sodey and Ballymote, to take shipping for America. From the Tsrawley Herald, March 9. Scarcely at any season have we in years past Eeen the exodu3 so considerable as it is now, when the month of March has only just been entered on. It is no unu sual thing, on any day of the week, in Ballioa,to count nineteen emigrants between old and young, npon one of Bianconi's long cars, and thia three times in the day, and at the same time to see the long van of a private car owner, with smaller cars, and carts more numerous still, filled, all of them, by the same class, proceeding to Slirro. en route to Liverpool and America. We are in formed that no less thpn one hundred anl twenty-one persons from a single parish within live miles of this town are preparing acJ intend setting off in company for America. And this is no isolated case.

(From the Detroit Advertiser, March 3.) The number of secession refugees from the North and the South, now ia Canada, is several thousand, who when consolidated and organized, would constitute a very effective fighting lorcewere it not that the scarcity of arms in Canrda ioim.3 a serious obstacle to their proper equipping. The exportation of arms from the United States is prohibited by the existing military regulations, and accordingly a wholesale system of smuggling is carried on, by which small arms are car ried into Canada. Tbe common method of avoiding the vigilance of the officers on both sides of the river, is by concealing a large numrjer vi arm m a herring box with several, layers ot herrings. ls mere is no duty on these fish, and a perceptable perfume generally indicates its presence, an apparent laboring man, with a htrrinarbox. freighted with fi3h and weapon3, easily crosses without molestation. Many revolvers are bought for thia DurDCse of returned soldiers, and eventually find their way into the hands of those, who were and are the deadliest enemies of their original owners. An occasional musket, or gun u conveyed ecroes by some one, claiming merely to be on a brief bunting trip foe pleasure. The repairingund refitting of these fire arms is done at a little smithy near the Hirou3 boose. These weapocs are thus distributed among trusty men, and thy go on in Fquads to the East few at a time, eo as not to attract aittn'ioo.

The design of these movements is in the ensuing epring to op n a " fire in the rear," by raising the standard of armed- disaffection in those sections, and thus detracting the attention and dividing tbe strength of cur armies in the fror,t. In fact advices from that section already report the cornmenctrxeut of guerilla hostilities by nutria ws and ritsperadoes. On Monday last a squad of Federal soldiers were fired hpon while qahtly resting along the streets of Pari3, Edgar coun ty, Illinois, by a party of ruffuns concealed in an old stable. I be so'diers charged upon the building, and lost oue of their number. His murderer, however, was shot in thirteen different p!ace3, and the whole gang ar rested. They were fouiid to cumber fifty, and evident ly expected a serious disturbance. This is undoubted ly bat the commenc-ment of a series of similar affairs in that section, whi:h the Government will be called upon to crush with an iron heel. The authorities have recently been placed in posses sion of all the facts narrated below, and measures have been taken to tip the evil in the bud. For example: a eqaad of five men, under an individual named Oitride, one oi me leaaers in ins Ecsem?, lert Windsor on Mon day last for the East, for the purposes stated above. This fact becoming known to tl e United States detec tives in Canada, information wts dispatched which re sulted in the summary arrest of the gang on Tuesday, immediately on their arrival on the American side at Niagara Falls. One man subsequently mad? bis es cape, but the rest are stiil confined there, awaiting an investigation into their business and destination. We do not state these fads to alarm, but solely to inform the public of threatening perils and place them on their guard agninat impending dangers. " Up to the present time we have something over 50,000 colored troops in the field fighting the betrayers of our lund. Northern p Jper. ! In what " fi-jld " or ; these gallant thousands " fight ing the betrayers of our laDd ?" At Chattanooga and Chickaunaug.t, at Knoxville, at Vicksburer, on tbe battle plains of Virginia, at Gettysburg, is this "field" to be found? Gen. Wilde lately went down into North Carolina, where the people are most loyal, and, at the ; head cf a body of negro troops, burned, plundered and ravasred, without fear or aught worse than the curses of the feeble women whosn homes they desolated. Is this the " field " referred to, or was it located at Milli kin's Bend, where the epportum; nrriv-1 of an Iowa re giment oniy 'Eaved the negro garriscn from dying from exhaustion, induced by the frantic race they were making for life and the will to get away from rebel bayonets ? Is the " field " at Fort Jackson, where the dusky re cruits illustrated their new found iiberty by the massa cre of their effivers? or was it Port Hudson, where, at best, we have contr adictory evidence as to the gallan try of the negrces ? We want information. We' want to know where that " field " is where those gallant 50 000 are " fight ing the betrajeis of our land." Chicago limes. The old trick of catching birds by putting salt on their tails, probably suggested the lollowing : The Legislature cf Virginia passed a law furnishing salt at a low price to all citizens. It is now determined and promulgated by the Conscript Fathers,that persons claiming exemptiou as Marylacders and as subjects of European powers, shall declare on oath whether they have purchased, at any time, this sjU, for that is an evidence of citizi-nsaip. The British and the Federals. Lord Cor'nwallis, Gudng tLe revolutionary war, issued orders denouncing iu the most emphatic und indignant terms the burning of houses and destruction of private property by some of his straggling jjlJiers, and consigning them to the severest puaishmeflts. So energetic was his determina tion to repress theee outrages that he baked his army on a march a whole day in order to inflict upon the offenders the death tbey deserved. Tarleton, whose name became notorious in tne Revolution lor savage ferocity was not less active in visiting with extreme retribution such crimes against humanity. The soldiers were baited in long lines, and the inhabitants who complained of outrages were invited to pass alottg the lines and identily the villians against whom tbey complained. When this was done the offenders were taken out, and instead of being screened trom justice, or their escape connived at, were instantly hung" to tbe nearest tree. Contrast this conduct ot the British ra ihe Revolu tion with that of the mildest of the Yankee Generals in this war 1 No comment is tecessary to show the to tal barbarity and depravity of the Abolition bordes with whom we are dealing. Let us hope that their day is coming, and that the rebtriou-tion of three years of such war as they have carried on egainst thi3 country is not far distant. Augusta Laomde cy sentinel.

Since the siege of Charleston commenced, tbe Federals buve thrown 30.- 00O shells into and at Fort Sumter, 8,000 at the city, and some 70,000 at Wagner and Gregg, making ovtr 100,000 shells, mostly 11 and lo inch, 300, 200 and 100 pound Parrotts a cumber that has no parulicd in any siege in history. Averaging the weight ot the shells at 150 pounds each, although they wiil tome neater 180 pounds, the aggregate would be 15,000,000 pounds ol iron hurled against this devoted nest of rebellion and its defences.

The Herald has been a very fortunate ship, and while thers and faster ones buve been caught oa their first and second trip, has succeeded in eluding the Nothtrn cruiaera for upwards ol a year and a half. Her owners can well afford to lose her now. Her earnings have been enormous, as may be gathered from the following Bn8. cimen, relating only to her voyage outward from the South. Tbe Herald has made eighteen runs, and bas brought out on average 800 bales of cotton each rue making in ail 14,400 bales. Allow a margin So as to briLg the figures within boands of a c&rtainty, aD(j can these 12,500 bales ; put them on a very moderate com putation at 50 a baie all round, and it appear the Herald has been successful in bringing into the market no less than 600,000 or 3,000,000 worth .0f cotton during the last eighteen months, or if we take tbe full number as given above, 720,000 or $3,600,000.

Commander WILLIAM TEMPLEMAN MUSK, n n Navy, in the 52d year of bis age. in the death or in is estimable cmcer. the community taa lost a high-minded christian gentleman, and tho Naval pro- leuHion a vaiuea puDuo serva.ii. Commander Muse was born in Edenton, North Carolina, acd ever cherished the most devoted attachment to his na tive State. At the beginning of the war he was among the first to resign his commission in the old service and offsr his services to the cause of the Confederacy : and through out his entire career he sustained an enviable aad uiblam iuhed reputation, and no one oould have been more univer sally beloved in life, or in death more deeply lamented. An exemplary husband, an affectionate fatker, gentle acd courteous in manneis, dignified in deportment, a stead fast trieikd, a brave offioer and the very socl of honor, he has passed to hia reward, leaving to the cart of Hka la whom he trusted, his heart-stricken widow and fatherless children. This war, so teeming with afflictions, has not prMnUd one possessing stronger claims upon onr sympathies than their sad ana nmimeiy Dereavement. May no "who chas tens but to save" have ccercy upon them. In this town, on the 7th inst., GEORQE EDWIN, ton of the late William B. and Caroline Jones, eged 10 years and i months. The y&ungeBt cf an orphaned group, clinging to each ether with a tenoning fidelity tince death uprooted the parent stem, this little flower S3 full of promise haa suddenly been cut down and the already deeply sorrow ins hearts woundtd more keenly than ever. Of a peculiarly sflaotion ate and bright disposition, the death of little George has left a vacant place in the narrowed circle that can never be filled ; graielul for the gentle cares which were hourly bestowed on him, he endeavored to repay them in a thou sand ways, which to a strargsr's eye might appear offici ous or tioubiesome, but which have lei t a remembrance inexpressibly sweet to the hearts that mourn for him. It is hard to bow with entire resignation to such a blow, and would be impossible did we not feel that it was per mitted by one "loo wise to err, too good to be unkind." May his peace and blensing sustain these sfflioted or phans under this fresh and overpowering grief. In Sampson county, on .he 15th ot March, little BES SIE.
