We discover from the South Western Farmer, that Cotton Factory has gone in to full operation at Natchez, Miss under th.s superintendance of s. T. McAlister Esq., and where the most substantial kinds of evidence are given, that Home Manufactures are destined to dc no little good in our South- ern country. We hear many of our South ern friends speaking of turning their attention to other products besides Cotton, as that great staple will scarcely pay for it's cultiva- tlon. Would 1t not be well for some DOT lions of country to establish Cotton and Woolen Factories, raise Wool, Stock, Grass, and manufacture many articles of importance to the farmer, rather than import SO much , i We would ask the question, how on this earth Is our country to prosper, when we permit our resources, (the best in the world4 to lie entirely dormant, and purchase from those who have not half the advantages of others Were Loisana, Mississippi, AIaba- man, Tennessee, and some portion of Arkan- sas, to establish such Factories, with other descriptions of manufacture, as that at Match ez, m ten years we would scarcely see particle. of imported goods, especially of coarse oi the surplus Cotton--shal we make VS5e VI ~. eS pdl iiitilu Ill tilC DOutl SuG- gests; Ii we dc, no doubt many of our peo- pie will die-shall we store it away, as many are doing, for better prices-or do not know what elese we can do.

Ne hope some Southern writers will speak out on this subject, and send us their productions for publication.
