Many of our readers are not aware of the extent uf this new branch of maaufacture, which we hope, soon to see take the plaeeof whiskey distilleries in Iheeonstttnptfott of our great American sfjifde, -Indian com. There is now in operation, at Oswcau, New York, a manufactory that consumes Tf.Ono bushels of corn a week, which makes AO.OOO lt. of the whitest and most beautiful starch fur all domes tic purposes, whether for the laundry or pantry. It is found that this starch is siiierior to any other for culinary purposes, because it is always made from clean, sweet corn the gluten of which is generated by a peculiar process of grinding and washing, the corn being first steeped in a chemical liquor, then reduced to pulp, sifted, and filtrated, and passed into huge cisterns, whence iti flows through long, narrow troughs, draining off the water through coare cotton cloths. In twelve hours, the starch becomes like wet clay, capahleof being hand led and dried, a process that requires much 'Care and a powerful beat. The residue of the com is used for feeding hogs and other domestie animals. Th is is a new use of Indian com. but eue, we hop, that sill prove profitable to the manufacturer and induces very uir-ge oonsuiuption of this grain; ami thereby increase the price to the grower. The new use lo which this valuable staple is applied, will eventually enrich those aeetions most convenient for its production and the man uf iciure of s arch. I'pon the penisal of the shove article, it instantly fleeitrred to tis thnt-Norfolk or Ports mouth, would be an excellent site for a starch manufactory.

Let this be the watchword of every Southern patriot, who wishes to see the Federal IT n ion pre served on its Constitutional basis, Iet us cease fur heaven's sake, all strife with each other and present an united front to our common enemy. "It is unfortunate for the South to be in a minori ty: but loir cause will lie hopeless if tlmt minority is divided against itself. What Southern man but must be humiliated, as well as desperate, at the idea that the South should be her own executioner, while her enemies luvk on with folded anus and a derisive smile? A Ql III FOR ABOLITIONISTS. On the first day of August term of our coun ty court; Peter Besmi-i trwttr of cornr.-wasy at liis own instance, sold into perpetual sevnuile. I'd, r was emancipated by the will of Mrs. Farrow, w ho died some year since, and ihe laws of the State forbade hi remaining w ilhin iis limits for more than a twelve month. This law Peier saw fit lo act at naughl, and the consequence was, that he w as indicted tor re maining in ihf Stale against the form of the statute. On the first day of rour i, however, Peter presented himself voluntarily and en treated thrt the penalty of the law ahoold lie visited upon him, (viz: a sale to the highest bidder,) which was ircordingly done, and Pe ter secured a good home for life. This hide inrident furnishes two lessons. The first is, that even the intelligent slave at the South hat sense enough' to know that hia .condition, here i far preferable to Uie degnt dation and pauperism lo which he would be subject to in a free Slate. The second ia. that the clamor aaid uutcry of the Norlh about lire evils nf slavery, result either from ignorance of the nature of the institution or the more dev ilish spirit of incendiarism. Piedmont Whig. LET US PREPARE FOR OUR OWN PROTECTION. In our article on Saturday we endeavored to show the importance of encouraging the mechanic arts in our State. I he benefits that would derived from il to ourselves, and the necessity emailed upon us, at this critical pe riod of our country' affairs, to promote our own internal strength. We now come to what has been the prevailing opinion at the South, that w e could not manufacture article as good, or as cheap, as at Ihe North consequently wc must import. But, let us ask, what would have been life remilt,' had each Slate continued to maintain this impression, as of course they all, lo a certain degree, entertained this feeling at the dawn of their great enterpriser W ould they not have found themselves laboring under all the inconveniences ol dependence to which this stereotyped opinion had .subjected ihem! We are all aenaible of the obstacle to which alt new project are liable and the responsi biliiv incurred when its success seem doubt ful; but were we lo yield lo them in their fee blealagea, the happy result w hich have fol lowed the most gloomy dawn w ould not now emblazen Ihe record of our country a em blems of our noblest enierprise. But why doe this great difference exist?- Why is it that the ik'orJi-i m.r-mimfiieteer? There are slight local cause, we admit: but extent i not equal in proportion In the patronage we yield to the North. The qiie tion ha been discussed al the North, and ahe attributes it ta our slat labssr, and a- awttied willingncsi to remain contented with produc ing the raw material. The latter may have some truth in it, but Ihe former we should very much doubt, for there it no natural im pediment which should separate the manufac turer from the producer. 'Ilic uccesaoflhe one is produced by natural cabscs the other "' ' feeling and the amvmu of cotiragenirnt wilh which we foster it. Irf-l us compare the progress of railroads in Massachusetts ihe different branches of trade eotmee led. wilh it, and the wealth which thfv ihfl'iise into the manufacturing disn ie'v wi'h dial of Georgia. Massachusetts, in 183B. had but one hundred and seventy-four miles of railroad in running order; her principal roads were the Boston and Worce. Icr, Boston and Providence,' and the Iwctl. The feeling then waa the same as wilh it now; and the English locomotive and tender, with the Phil adelphia cars, might be aeen running on their i here were no "toeomoiive shops, and hut a feeble attempt had been made to build ear by Messrs. Davenport k. Bridge, of Cambridge. In 831), the Worcester rail road were working eight locomotives, four of which were English manufacture. Tine from a Lowell shop, two from Ihe Messrs. N orris, and one from Baldwin ti Vail, of Philadel phia. Here, in 1839, we find Massachusetts lo hare made but little progress in the msnufac hire (if her own locomotives and rar. In the same year a small- establishment had hern started, on what wa called the Neck, near Boston, hy Messrs. Hinekly and Drury. I hese gentlemen were esteemed excellent me chanics their mean were limited the enter prise a private one, and it success waa deem ed very doubtful. Their competitors, Messrs. Norris and Baldwin, had established their pop ularity wilh the Boston railroad corporations drove the English mechanic out of the mar ket, and were even manufacturing specimens of their work to lend to (ireat lira ruin and continental Europe. Thia, then, was an ob stacle lo the progress of Messrs. Ilickluy and Diury, who, although having produced several very fine specimen of workmanship dad not established a popularity. Hut let us ask, what is the present position of dial branch nf business in Massschsctts! Her railroads have increased lo six hundred and ninety-four miles. Messrs. Hitsfkly and Drurv locomotive may lie found on almost everv railroad In the United State from the railroad extreme a) lho seaboard to the Mich igan Centra! mad st die wast, which last road use uo other machine. Two years ago a corporate eotnpaaiy was formed, aud their es- taniuntpent uosr progresses under me name of "The Boston Locomotive Work." Messrs. II. 47 D. have become ihe possessors of prince ly ,;nflWwiODaT full lide of prosperity, employing upwards of four hundred man, and declaring an immense dividend- I his, however, is but one instance. There are how sight luetimoiive manufactories, exclusive of the machine shops of the Boston and Worcester, and Boston snd Lowell road. who now manufacture their own, in M chuseua; all of whom are doing lucrative hasine, extending their work-shops, sending their- machines tu the different iStalen, and givir.g 'employment tg immense numbr of met-lianfr. and fiil on eqal employment of capital, tne nunuiactpfe oi car nna aieo kept rare wjth it, and now (fords ao immsiise nYld fo. domestic industry. Thus we find MaasMrhuaett enriching herself by encourag ing the progress of her mechanical production. and driving foreign competition out of the mar act. Would it not be well for u to follow her example, not alone in this one branch ofindu- try, for we only introduce this a one among the many things for which we are dependent upon the iNorili but in all! Ueorgia csnjence. II doe not become these column, date the history of her railroad enterprise but however, lo enlarge upon thia view nf the snb s short time behind Massachusetts: yet she 1 iect.

Are no these considerations which should in vile our serious attention! Are ihey not the weapons of our own strength, and should we not aoek to perpetuate ihemt What- i there to prevent ueorgia I mm enmrimg the field of competition; her own road could afford a large patronage, and her (later Stale are fast ad vancing in railroad enterprise. The attempt rem a mountain, but once Its difficulties are overcome, the plain ia before ua. The Geor gia road built many of their own cars, and ihe State road have built two luroinotuoSrWliU-h i have proved very satisfactory The Central road build their own freight ear, and, if we are correctly informed by those connected with the road, one nf the most easy riding, substantial, and conveniently-arranged car ever run oft the Central road wa built by Mr. tieorge W. Adam, of thi city. Dut w hy wa il not continued? Wa il because they could be procured cheaper from, the North? We are too prone 10 look al the im viediate effect, without- regarding the ultimate result, and thus we prepare the harvest for other. The Central railroad also built one. locomotive, and called il the Georgia, hul it was destined for a Hale of aingle blessedness, and although il ha proved worthy of ihe name, it haa had no descendants.

EXAMPLE FOR TEXAS. Tlie following opportune siatements are furnished in the Providence Journal: When Rhode Island claimed a portion of ihe territory which was under Ihe jurisdiction of Massachuseiu, she presented her tktim dirough ihe Supreme Court. When Massa chusetts, rlaimed a portion of the territory un der the jurisdiction of Rhode Island, her ulti mate threat, rrrtgoiistioh failing, War ' rcadrt: io ihe same tribunal. Other Slates nave had boundary questions wilh each olher, and some 'of them very exciting questions. Heretofore no Mate has threatened anything farther than a peaceable appeal lo the law. It haa been reserved for Texas, the youngest member of tlieronfederary, to rrject the tribunal erected for the settlements of such disputes, lho tri bunal to which all the other Slates have sub mitted, and"to declare that utile the question is sotried in her favor, and In her satisfaction, she will make war upon the general govern ment. And we are told that unless the gene ral government suhinii to I ex, or buy on her claim, we shall, within few weeks, wiv nee ihe commencement of a civil war. Thia may be true. It ia certainly staled upon very respectable authority; and il may be that diere is no oilier way lo preserve the government Uian to (ubmit to Tesss. But it i very cer tain lhat if thi be so, the government is not worth preserving. Deeply ss we are attached to the Union, we do not hesitate lo tay if it ia not strong enough to make good it just au thority in this Instance, it is wholly inadequate to die great purposes of government. We have rclerre (I lo this subject frequently, be cause we bclive it lo he of highest importance. There are many politicians in the South who desire a dissolution of the Union per sr. There are other who think that ihe only way lo preaerve the Union i to yield io every de mand that is accompanied by threat of dis solution. We do not believe Uiia, but If it must be, we are willing to see the question tested, Ihe question which is lo selde the val ue of Ihe Union, by aetding its s rength. Letu know whether it be really held togeth er by a rope of sand; let us know if it exist by die sufferance of a few boastful politieisns who rule opinion in lew discontented Stales. or whether it be really founded in tha slTue- !onsa!i(l 111 Die gotxl sense ol Ihe people Fromth Deaf Mut.

They have been engaged for many years in discoursing upon tlie principles of tins science both in the Senate sud by the Press, endear Hit .jwswiralga loathe world. 1 1'heir favorite stateamen have earned the subject to it highest degree of refieinent, and leu upon mankind an indelible impression of tin ir vie w. But after all it Would seem that in, practice, we are the slowest of all civilized races to realize tlie truth of the very importan principle we so zealously leach. With few exceptions, we devote our capital snd our en ergies to the production of ee rutin raw com modities for the accomodation, oi Northern munufjtituies, and to the great gaumf JiwuV em commerce.

So far from it, we can conceive of no more appalling catastrophe. Rut at the same lime. w can ee no more effectual remedy for our political grienr.ie than a true commercial independ- vantages lo be derived by the Southern peo pie from a wise improvement of iteir natural facilities for inanulacture, and a proper divn- ion of labor among Ihe msclvet, -v4l-sMtyv.be hwd isu-a n jriem that w cer tain density of population i necessary lo the higher grades of civ ilixatiun. Man must be brought into contact with man, in the active intercourse of business, before he ean be re fined elevated, set free from prejudice, and made willing to find hia own happiness in promoting ihe welfare of other. Civilization and the arte of peace have never found a per manent abode among a aparaely scattered people- The population of mom if esjr Southern Suite tt entirely too small to allow or any rapid advancement of society. Religious in struction anil secular education are seriously interfered wilh and except among the wealthy, the refining influences of frequent social inter course are never fell. A dull mediocrity: is the univeraal feature. Literature is unknown and tha more hnllUut example oX aetlv per-J sonal benevolence are seldom witnessed. An excessive population, like that of Ireland or China, ia certainly an evil much to be depre cated. Hut whilst this extreme t avoided, weahould not content ourselves with its op posite. We would rejoice to see our South ern population doubled, our great mail strung with llinving Tillage, every nrighborniiod , blewed wilh it church and it school-houne, snd the port office and the pre every where distributing intellectual snd moral light. In order lo do Ihia, we should arouse from our long slumber, and apply ourselves 'actively to the development of the various resources with which Nature has supplied us so abundantly. The motive power of our rivers must be brought more fully into play, the vast mineral wealth of our mountain mud he unburted, and the idle hand lhat encumber our plantation made to contribute lo the wealth ami prosperity of the country that so bountifully support snd pro tects them- W must in short have in every Southern Slate lite manufacturing power ill operation so generally lhat she shall feel her self independent, in a good degree, not only of oreign cou nines, out oi i er si-ier oia e. The great complaint of the South is Ihe want of capital. Hut this ia for the most part an imaginary difficulty ", T Capital " follows" ihe spirit of enterprise, and will always seek thai point al which the grealeat activity and ener gy manifent themselves. It is like the vital blood which not only maintains life, but is it self distributed acrortling to vital hjwn and flow most abundantly in parts where life is most active. We are too much disposed to eoin- menre nn a large scale. When we speak of vssteslahlishment founded in millions of cap. iul, employing hundreds and thousands of on- erstives, and turning out annually, a surplus of goods for export to foreign countries. But ewryMiflg uha hope for domestic, manufactures ia in a domes tic spirit, which hall no longer prefer foreign good because they are foreign, but give prac tical encouragement to every elTorl at home, however humble it may be. The planter who ha inost uf the ordinary mechanic arts pertaining to bit establishment performed at home among hi own hand, and with the raw; materuil furnished by Ills 6WB soil, is wiser, if he does not become wealthier than his neighbor, who buys and hires from I distance.- Division of labor increase the I product of labor to the greatest degree where the interchange of products is immediate. The cost nf time and of transportation is avoided. It Is ao in eommunitie snd in Stale. The principlo applies itself throughout die scale of industry from His manulacture m a pin to the elaboration of cotton into tlie most delegate tis sues. If A produces one article in China and B produces a different article in Ainorica, the exchange of these articles must amount to he.if y rosl of tahOfrilm and: ntoney , It pro bably depends upon a variety of circumstances lo decide upon whose shoulders the heaviest burden will full. But the probability always is lhat Ihe least intelligent and watchful of the parties will have il lo endure. The agricul tural community are generally less wsirhlul, snd exhibit less of the ttprit du torp$ I Inn the olher industrial classe, snd therefore ihey are almoal always sufferer in the fluctuation ol trade, when earned on with distant coun tries. The speculstors thrive upon their ruin. A great part of litis obviiled evil is when the farmtrhns market at hia own door or in a neighboring town. Speculation lose hair tu advantage, snd a fair equality of trade is me consequence la tue end. The New Orleans Bulletin makes the fol lowing commenis upon sn article which It co pies from Ihe Charleston Mercury, The arti cle from the Mercury related lo the ex peri. ment of employing slave lador in manufac ture, arguing it success from the experience ol the Oaluda factory. The uullciui saytr This fact is one of high importance, as il will always afford t resource lo the South for the employment of their slave labor in limes of agricultural depression, and will enable the cotton growing Stales to treble or quadruple the value of their cotton emri bv tumirur it in to yarn and eotlon cloth. The importance of this ean lie estimated by the fact, that ten, hands in a cotton mill can split inio yarn, as much col .on as ean be raised by one hundred hands in Ihe field, and the labor of these ten, there, fore, al once double the value of the ration produced by the one hundred field hand: in other words, one hundred and ten hands em ployed in growing and spinning cotton, will give an income equal lo the labor of lo hun dred hand mplo5 r4 exclusively in grow Hit" H.
