Dear CK miele: It ia customary, I believe, for persons to apologise for the non-appearance of any thing of general interest in tbeir letters, but as I have no ; control over the event interesting or otherwise that occur daily, shall have to chronicle such as come to my knowledge, and may be deemed interesting. The city is dull , and quiet,; with nothing; of general interest to attract the atteUion of a strangnr." Cotton,' and butinest extremely dun. . . ,? The military authorities are engage! in arresting and forwarding to abandoned farm bo the coait, all unemployed negroes. ;Ten thousand bave been sent off, under guard, and the soldiers are still picking, up all that are not employed. for three months, and placing them in prison preparatory to shipping them to Florida, Louisiana and Texas. Cnpt. Monroe, formerly of New Providence, has opened the Commercial Hotel, in. this city. The proprieto', Messrs. Mouroe k Wheeler, have bad this establishment thoruugly renovated and refur nijhed. and i row open for the reception of gnests, and for the accommodation of the traveHin public at large. This Hotel is si'.uated in the Immediate vicinity of the business portion of Memphis, and it convenient to (tue steamboat landing. ' i take pleasure ia'racooitnendihg this Uot( 4o toe travel ing public, as a. No, 1. establishment, and the pro. prietors are clever and courteous gentlemen. Give the Commercial a trial., '. f I little thought when reading the ridiculous po' tilion of Don Quixote weea be marched through Spain with a wash-basin on bis bead, that tucb was to become the popular fashion among the la dies of our time, ' but it it really so. You can scarcely turn a corner but the ' Chinese Bonnet'' or hat meets your eye, and if the material of man ufacture will only be changed from straw to tin, a complete wash-basin will be the result. It is hor rible to tee a beautiful face under such a bead cover. It 6eems ridiculous that people who bave derided the customs of the Celestials, should now ape -the very -worst of their 'gear but tucb is fashion. And this last Is net more whimsical than the "waterfall," which is nothing more nor less than the introduction of the old, derided and latighfd-out-of;dale cue. At this rate, we will bave ladies in a few years wearing narrow dresses with short waits, the Lair done up like a sugar (oaf. on the top of the head, and ruffles to tickle, the nosj from a light necklace.

Pot tbit pnrpoe a larire tannery and Shoe Shop was started at Magnolia, ninety -eight miles from New Orleans, and another Smaller one at' Hammond's station, aorne thirty niles below.) Neithei of there was materially in jured, though necessarily impended, after the fall or new Orleans aad especially that or Vieksbarg; Tb New Lynn of America was to be at Magnolia, and the Lynn of Massachusetts may welt rear its rivalry now. ' r.i ; i : o' -' The best leather made In the .United States Is Southern leather, that of Baltimore, Louisville and Nashville ranking In the order here mentioned. The manager of the tanneries ' of the company at Magnolia ts an experienced NoTth-rn man, and he is of opinion that the water and other contingencies at Magnolia favor the making of as good leather as any where else.' Htdrs ran be procured here as cheaply as there, and the leather will always' be Worth asore -for half ventwy to come.- With-4ba Imnroved machinery fur anakinir shoes rabidly. which onr Eastern friends employ, the shoes of Magnolia may soon be made to supersede those of Massachusetts, unless,, indeed, a fear, that the war may be renewed in case the South is not made wholly dependent upon the great woikshop in shoes ana politics, snould require as a military necesity, that all Southern people should buy their 4ioes in uoston. Roth these factories will be at work in the course of two or three months, repair, renewed machinery and workmen being needed, as well a the reo'rgani tation of capital. But it may , be expected as a certainty, that not over three months' will eJapso be fore ine strong ana serv:ceanio worxmansnip of tne southern makers will appear S3 the rival of their northern competitors. Of course, it will be a year before this titunery can supply them ""with leather, for this is snore emphatically questrosj of time than the termination of a war; but it will not be many years before tire leather of this region, as well as that of more northern, yet still southern cities, will take the premium, in your market, over that of New England, i '...;. " COTTON AND WOOLEN rACTOBIIS.'' " ' " ' Nor are the people content with independence for tbeir feet only ; their bodies must have an in dependent covering. Pot this reason Messrs. Drane li Co., wh5 had a small experimental cotton factory in Choctaw county at the outbreak of the war, but which was burnt by some Federal forces daring it, have moved down to Bybalia, a beautiful little piney wood's station-town, one hundred and thirty- eight miles from New Orleans, where they will lay at once the loundatiun of a southern Lowell. ' The brick are contracted for. the lumber is half oat, and the t'onndations are already cleared off, and it will not be long belbre two toll brick buildings, 8fly feet wide and three hundred -and sixty to length,' ill be ready ror the reception of machinery. This establishment will chiefly manufacture woolen and cotton mixed goods,': it is not pelirYcd that there will hereafter be much of a market for the coarser cottons, which wars ones so much used for laborers; at U events it is toluruuh cloths of a middle quautv as to hneness and superior as to su ral! itr, and secure a good name, as has been done by tue Oeorgia and Aluiunuv Ja.lories, fur tne ex cellence or tue goods they oner to toe public. 1 be mills will he run by steam: hut, as fuel is cheap und at their very doors in ioexhaustless quantities this will give them little additional cost., Ih-y will begin with five thousand spindles, with room for expansion and addition. ' :' ,' ' You must recollect that all this bat been resolved upon and begun scarce a month ago, in a region whose total desolation vou can only remotely con ceive, and by a people just forced by defeat, deple tion, and tne loss 01 an tne meant or sustenance, into an unconditional surrender, whereby they bad barn deprived of species, of property in which tbsy had too tar ad all tbeit hopes.
