Any process which will facilitate
and cheapen the manufacture of cot

command the attention of the people
of this country, where alone this
fiber is most successfully produced.
The invention of the cotton-gin was
a prodigious step forward to promote
the increased production and profit

aud now the ingenious mechanic
pro) oes another step forward in aid
of this all-important industry, by "a

The following views upon this sub

F. E. Whitfield, Sr., of Corinth, Mis
sissippi:
By the new process of converting
seed-cotton directly into yarns only
four machines are used, vi"z:the card
drawing frame.speeder, and spinning
frame, Ouch as are now in common
use;) the card only is changed, aud
that slightly, by substituting an at

thus superseding the gin, press and
compress, (which are only used to
render cotton transportable,) the wil
lowt r, lapper, double lapper, breaker
and four-fifths of the cards, which
are only iateudeJ to try to remedy
the, injury done by the gin, press,
and compress. It also saves or su
persede the railway and railway
drawing-head ; also .all jack-frames
slubbers, mules, twisters, eveners,
&c, together with all the buildings,
motive-power, and operatives to
hold, drive, and attend said discarded
machinery. It saves one halt the
usual wasie, and produces better and
stronger silver; roving, and thread
than can be made of baled cottou ;
thereby enabling operatives to attend
more machinery, and each machine
to do more work, especially in the
spinuiiig and weaving rooms. The
reason why the card will do four
times more by this process, using the
ar?oPe?&
chinery, fiy, or become tangled, but
are kept straight, and cerdiug is but
the straightening-of the cotton fila
ments. The extra strength of the
thread isowing to the working of the
cottou fresh from the seed, the oil
of which has kept it alive, light,
elastic, and flexible, with all its at
tenuating qualities perfect; and to
the fact that it has never been nap
ped, cut, or tangled by the gin,
pressed, compressed or permitted to
become dry, seasoned, and brittle in
this tangled condition, nor has it
been injured by the willower, lapper,
double-lapper, breaker and cards,
where .the damage done by the gin,
press, and compress is sought to be
remedied.
This small attachment (only 36
inches long by 18 inches wide) su
persedes the above mentioned eight
machines, simply because the first
three are used to render cottoj trans
portable, and the last five are inten
ded to remedy tne aamage
the fitst three. But these
tages, gret as they are, are not half
that are claimed for the new process.
The ginning, seed-bagging, and ties
are saved.
Take a bale of cotton on a
near Corinth, and see the expenses,
&c, incurred in sending it, via Mem
phis, to Bostou, Mass.: Hauling to
Corinth, sampling, weighing, de

brokerage for buying, deep boring,
Boston, $6.25; total $18 per bale,
which, ou 4,200,000 bales, amounts
to $75,600,000. The item ot seed is
worth $5 per bale as a fertilizer, equal
to $21,000,000, and decorticating more
than doubles its value. 1
There can be no competition away
from the cotton-fields, for seed-cot-too
will not bear transportation, and

4,400,000 bales, ofwhich the goulh
consumed about 2uJrf)r the balance
was shipped North aud to Europe.
The average price was probably about
10 cents per pound, or $50 per bale.
The enhanced value of crude cotton
when converted into yarns is estima
ted at from 100 to 125 per cei.t.; into
shirting and sheeting, 200 percent.;,
into prints, still more; and into fine
muslins, 300 to 400 per cent. There
are gross profits; but, if the South
made her own machinery, furnished
her operatives, and fed them, they
would be net to her.
The machine has run for five
mouths steadily, giving entire satis
faction, making first quality of yarns,
which sell readily in market here for
25 cents per pouud. paying for seed
cotton from to 3 cents per pound.
The only objection yet seen to it is
that on the 1st of January it is neces
sary to hold eight months' supply of
eed-cotton. This requires capital,
but pays a large interest on it; for the
seed-cotcon lying in bulk six or twelve
months greatly improves by the ab
sorption of oil from the seed by the
filaments, rendering them more at
tenu itiug or workable, giving them
a rich cream-color, saving waste from
ttyirg in working, and enhancing
the value of the staple fully 1 cents
per pound, while baled cotton, deter
iorates nearly as much in thmjame
tune. These are facts which some
have long known and profited by as
planters.
The Kouth has many and import
ant i natural advantages over the
Northeast aud England in manufac
turiug cotton, such as short, mild
winters; more reliable water power;
cheaper land, building materials,
fuel, food and labor; exemption from
strikes; aud direct reclamation. It
would furnish pleasant, remunerative
employment to her indigent women
and children, (unwilling to euter the
field in competi:ion with the negro,)
and, assembling them in villages
around factories, would afford much
greater facilities for physical, mental,
and moral training of children, creat
ing a market for ed bles, and an in
centive to farmers around to diversify
their products.
One attachment, with the neces
sary machinery to convert seed-cotton
into yarns put up in bales, will
require 10 or 12 horse power to drive
aud will work up from f to 1 pound
of seed-cotton per minute, or 200 to
220 pounds of yarus per day, and will
cost, with royalty, $4 500; two will
cost $7,500; and three, about $10,000.
This is exclusive of shafting, pulleys,
hangers, cans, and belts.

Republican Claims of the State Dem
ocratic Majority 8,107 Perfect
Q,uiet in New Orleans Ot her Prom
inent Gentlemen Arrived.
New Orleans, Nov. 14. The Re
publicans state that they have infor
mation that east Baton Rouge has
gone Republican by 300, msjori y.
The Democrats claimed it by 600.
The table published up to Saturday
night of the city vote, was put down
at 9,700 majority for the Democrats.
The official count shows 10,016 major
ity for Tilden. Additional returns
from the parishes do not materially
change the results as telegraphed
Saturday. The Democrats appear to
have about 8,000 majority. The Re
publicans, howevei, still claim that
they have carried Hie State, and that
Packard will be the next Governor
of Louisiana.
L. Q,. C. Lamar teh graphs from
here to a friend that the people of
New Orleans, though profoundly
agitated, are quiet, and there is not
the slightest purpose to disturb the
public p ace. The proposition to
place the counting of the vote under
the supervision of honorable men of
both parties from a distance, meets
the cordial concurrence of the entire
community.
In addition to the gentlemen be
fore reported as arriving here, the
following have also reached the city :
Ex-GdvS. Curtin and Biger, Hon.
Sam. Randall and M. P. Handy, of
Penn. Col. Jno. C Burch, Maj. T.
O'Cooher, Jno. Keating and W. H.
Carrol; of Tenn., and O. Ottendorfer,
of New York.
The Democratic committee have
complete returns made up from du
plicate; lists of the supervisors show
ing Tflden's majority in the State
8,107, by which majority they claim
they have carried the State. The re
turns show Nichols' majority to be
nearly! 9,000.
This; city is very quiet. The p liti
cians are anxiously awaiting the ac
tion of the returning board which,
by law; is required to meet ten days
after the election.

Sgringfield Republican : Somehow
they don't seem to have been frightened
to death over in London about the Uni
ted States repudiating its debt, or any
thing of that sort, when they found out
that Gov. Tilden had been elected Presi
dent. The Herald Times and Tribune all
claimed that New York would deter
mine the result of the election, and so it
has. The Tilden boys do not scare worth
a cent at the threats of the Radicals
about Louisiana, Florida, and South
Carolina, or anything else.
New York World : It is reported
that Captain Mills refused to interfere to
prevent a negro mob from breaking into
the court house at Aiken, S. C, to des
troy the ballot-boxes. He probably held
that he was only called into the State to
suppress the insurrection in which the
rifle clubs were said to be engaged- j

New York Tribune : "Business will
revive after the election," was the ae-
surance with which merchants were ac
customed to cheer themselves and others
for a few months previous to the 7th
of November. Election is over, but
business has not revived, and it is the
general impression that the depressing
effects of a Presidential campaign will
continue to be felt so long as there is
any uncertainty as to the results of the
election.

It is certain that Tilden's popular ma
jority is more than a quarter of a mil
lion. He will not be the President of a
minority of the people. In his work of
reform he will represent the will of much
more than half of the American republic
and no doubt the wishes and hopes of
hundreds of thousands who did not vote
The Reason of it
The New York Tribune of Wednes
day very sensibly and compactly presen
ted the situation :
The organs will be heayy this morning
with reasons for the result. We venture
to suggest a few :
Gov. Tilden had too many votes.
The general dissatisfaction with the
administration was not quieted by the
nomination of Gov. Hayes. Too many
people believed that his administration
would be merely a continuation of
Grant's.
Hard times. People wanted a change,
and thought perhaps turning out the
party in power might give it.
The Democrats used the best intellects
in their party to address their best argu
ments to the intelligence of voters. The
Republican canvass ran more in party
grooves, and depended less on argument
than on prejudice.
