Aa a fit accompaniment to tbe aliove facts,
we publish the lollowiog statistics that are
taken from tbe Nuw York Day ftoak. The
facts here presented are certainly very, en
couraging, but if the statistics ss to other
States are not nearer the tiuth than those
given for North Carolina, then there is not
moeb reliance to be placed in them. Mr.
Branson has ascertained, as published
above, that there sre forty cotton factories
in North Carolina. Tint Day Ilooi gives
but seventeen. Mr. Brsoaott shows that
there most be soino 41,000 spindles sloue
in oiirotten-faeteFi-Si-bttt tber pay' Bou'k
gives but 24,249. Mr. Branson includes
cottoo aud wool laclories in his estimate, so
.0! the 54,673 spindles given, w estimate
aver 45,000 te bching to the cotton lacturiei
iU-ne. Mr. Branson's calculation as to the
number ol pounds apun of c iurc greatly
exceeds thai published in tho May limit.

It is ti ling that you tend their graves;
for it w as your patriotic enthusiasm which
inspired them to rush ro - trie Bold, and
taught them to despise, danger. Twas
your smiles tbat bared their bosom to tber
glittering stesl ; and tbe hope of your ap

to the cannon's fiery lips winch spoke only
of blond sn I death. Thoughts of the no

wounded, fortified the soldier's courage and
invigorated h resolutions ; and it wa such
thought which made them stand like a
living wall between you and th enemy,
