Perhaps the most noticeable incident is the abstinence of Fernando VYeod and C. L.

It is certainly no comply ment to the good sense of; these latter that the sacrifice should be necessary. And 'despite their exactionj nay becasen of if, Messrs.

Rich, Enquirer: j , " i WhatManufacure:$cto McQueeufa celebrated statician,in bis account of the anuual wealth and income of England, at the time he made up his compend, illustrates with gre wrce what manufactures can do towards the prosperity- of a country, j It i appears from Ms statistics that the value of the soil devote to agriculture embraced at that time twenty six forty-thirds of the wealth of the whole kingdpm,and that its value was twelve times greater than all the capital invested in manufactures and commence--these latter, ( including her ships being only one eighteenth of her national wealth. The agricultural capi tal was 3,311,000.000, Iproducrng, 12 per cent, prohtf while the manufacturing cipital,je2l8,000,000, produced 120 per cent, profit, 1 ; Commencing upon these facts, the Now York Tribune says that this little capital of je2l8, 000,000 invested in machinery, mills, furnaces, factories; and mines,has swollen the farming capital of little'England to the gigantic sum of 3 314,000,000, and made British farm worth ten; times as much as one in wheat growing Poland, which only grows wheat and bpys goods instead of making them. Our object in bringing these figures be fore our readeis is to impress them with the great necessity of embarking in man ufacturing j enterprises as a powerful agency in the resusitation of their if for,! tunes, (j In England, the manufactories have doubled and trebled bet population and sustained her immepse commerce The same cause can -produce lite re sults at the South,yea to a fourfold degree because her soil and. climate are un equalled by any country on the face of the globe.; j And now, when a new sys term of labor has to be introduced, when hostile j legislation is taxing her raw ma terials. it is the time, above allitimes to jenter upon that new field of enterprise, which will not only secure the labor she requires, but which, in fhe manufacture and sale of her own products, will as if by magic, restore her not only to former prosperity, but to wealth and greatness. The people of the South should consider these things. Columbia P, 'Aceniz J MARRIED On Sunday, the 19th in st., by the Rev. J. D. CarDenter, S. C, C , Mr. John G. Ca& pentsr to jUiisa Lrrris A.
