Cotton 17anufacturc.-It is stated by Mr..
Rush in his report, that the cotton manu-
factories of the United States work up fuli
one fourth part OF the whole crop OF raw
cotton raised in the Southern and Western
States. As this statement is founded on da-
ta that cannot deceive, we may take It with
an unusual degree of certainty. OF all the
statistical facts which lately have come un-
der our observation, we must be permitted
to say this is the most gratifying. Only
let us look back upon our internal industry
for the last 10 years. Iu 1916 we were but
in the commencement. but now our cotton
fabrics can compete with the English. If,
in the short space OF ten years, we have ris-
en- to the consumption of Of our whole raw
cotton crop, what may we not expect from
the succeeding ten? When did nation
possess such prospect as the United States?
In very few years, the whole cotton crop
of the South will be worked up at the North
and East One portion of the country will
supply the other with raw productions, and
that in return with manufactured. Within
the limits of the Republic we have every
variety Of soil and climate. We can pro-
duce every thing within ourselves tits this
peculiar character osthe country that will
become the great bend Of union. A recipro-
cation OF benefits will unite the South, the
West. and the East, in one feeling and one
interest. We shall then be beyond the com.
mercial vicissitudes of Europe. Our depen-
lence for every manufacture will be placed
OH our own artisans. This happy period is
fast approaching, and neither the arts of for
eign or secret enemies can prevent its ac.
complishment.


The National Journal announces that the
Convention between the United States and
England. making provision for compensating
the owners Of fprivate property taken from
the United States after the close Of the late
war with Great Britain, has been ratified
by the President and Senate. The prompt
ness with which this Convention was decid-
ed on in the Senate, confirms the opinion
that it provides for an ample restitution to
those Of our citizens whose property had
been taken from them subsequent to the
war, and that it does them justice, and will
give satisfaction to all the claimants.

| The York {Penn,) Gazette states, that
| from the surveys already made, it is asccr-
tanned to be impracticable to construct q
continuous Canal through Pennsylvania, con-
meeting the eastern and western waters; and
that the Canal Commissioners will report
in favor of adopting the Jnnata route, inn
proving the navigation of that river, by ca
nails or otherwise, as high up as feasible, and
then passing to the hlleghany river by
means of railway.


| IT is calculated that more than one hun
dred and seventy volcanoes are at present
in activity on this land, and there is reason
to believe that there are at least as many
and probably greater number beneath the
sea- Captain King in his late survey of
Australasia, sailed along continued line OF
Coral Ttel IOr seven nunureu mNeS, IAlcr-
ruptsd only by few intervals not exceed
ing thirty miles. These reefs stretch from
the northeast coast of Australasia, towards
New Guinea, and very far exceed in length,
any Chain of fsecondary mountains in Europe.
A calcarious concreted sand rock has been
found to exist in Australasia throughout
space of no less than twenty-five degrees of
latitude; and an equal extent of longitude on
the southern, west and northwest coasts.


A letter from Washington says "Mrs Decatur
has again presented her claims to Congress, for
an allowance to be made to her, for the destruc-
ton of the frgae Philsdelphia, by her late hus-
band, in the harbor of Trpol, in 1904" We
have seen a pamphlet of g. pages, containing
the documents published BY Mrs. Decatur, rcla-
tive to this claim, and think that the lady has
made out fair case, and to be justly entitled to
the benevolence of a liberal and high minded
Legislature, Centinel
