But the temporary reverses which Otwcitmstancbs alter Casks.—Some months ago when Torn rose to a dolHra bushel, and cotton oloth to •J/> cents a yard, the i! ington Journal was exceeding ly exercised about high rvices, extortion. &C., and wouM lisien to no reason why they were high.

We urged, that • he pro prietors hail never i»efore made any money. « d were liable at aiiv day to have their factories burnt o^ -r their heads bv the enemy, or to lose all by a break down of niHchinerj-; or if they survived the war, (hat (ht- ivowed policy of the South was to discountenance ar.d dostroy tht'm Ibit the Journal would listen to none n’ these ren sons. We then expressed a wish that Wilmington had some manufactories of its own, for if it had, we should have a ditterent story from the Journal .And sure enough we do.

And the profits are ten-fold greater th'iri liny cotton or woolen factory ever made upon an equal investment of capital or labor Well, exactly the effect we anticipated has been produced on the Journal. It has come to o'^r way of thinking and rea soiling, us we will show by copying its article on Salt, as tolUws: — " : turiv n.—Salt.—Pruteciion.—There is a great deal said, and most of it said honesily U‘- dou 4, about re stn.ining extortion and speculation i»' the necessaries ot life, and especially in salt Salt seems to be the sialkit’g horse, the favorite hobby of all those who go for regulating prices by law. “In 0) dinary i imes a bushel of sack sail is ostima(ed (o be enough to i iire a thousand pounds of meat.
