f-
tifirowthand yfannfactitre or Wool In
, the fulled MaUea.
'On tnese subjects a Georgia journal, the
Savannah RepuUican has. some very RUfrgestive
remarks. Adrertins to the fict Hint the
r woolen manufactories of the United States
iave tt rely upon foreign countries for alwut
one-third to one-half of t'ue w ool thry con-
''lame, it Bets forth the unequak-d facilities
poesed by the Southern and Western states
;for. sheep-raising and wool-growinp. In
allnf-ion to its own State, it sees no reason
why it should not raise fifty time as much as
ft now does, with comparatively speaking,
very little more trouble and expense. This
remark will pply as well to Tenneraee as to
Georgia. We have in this Slate a vat ex
jteat of cheap lands admirably adapted to
sheep-raiding, and which are lying idle and
unproductive. And it ia in the immeni
!'area of laud in the Vnited States, and its
(rreat cheapness, as compared with the price
of lands in Europe, that lies one great advan
tage we lave over European wool-growers.
In climate, too, in the South and South-
Went, we have a decided advantage over
many of the sheep-raining d'lHtricts of Euroi,
' as well aa over the more Northern sections of
. the United States. This advantage of
' climate, moreover, in the South and South-
Weft, is not counterbalanced by any
corresponding disadvantage it Laving long
since been established by the most thorough,
. nraytiral trts. that as far Smth as the
r -
parallel of the 34 th d-gree of latitude, and
perhaps further, there is no deterearotion in
' . the physical condition and endurance of the
'animal, nor in the qiudity of the wool. It will
be recollected, in f.ict it Is not likely to be
soon forgotten by intelligent wool-growers
either in the United States or Europe that
wool grown in the immediate vicinity ot
Nashville took the gold medal from all the
world at the great Fair in Loudon, a few
years ago. This fact, together with the
great faculties we have in Tennessee for the
.raining of sheep, in climate and in the
comparative cheapness of a large extent of
lands well suited for the purpose, should
"stimulate our farmers and stock-raisers to
make the business more the object of their
upecial attention than they have hitherto
: done.
- Another inducement they have to do this,
'is the facility with which they may supply
'themselves with animals of the highest ex
cellence and the most approved stock, for
'breeding purposes. From the flocks of Mr.
Mark R. Cockkii.l, near this place.and from
. which was taken the wool that carried off the
gold medal above spoken of, may be procured
breeders equal to any in the world, aud at
less risk and on better terms, than they cau
be either procured from abroad or purchased
elsewhere in the Uniti d States.
To that gentleman was given to do what it
" falls to but very few men iu the world to do
namely, to discover and demonstrate practi
cally the extitenee of a law of nature of great
value and Importance to an immense region
of country. Had it been predicted fifty years
ago that the time would com when wool,
grown as fur South as this would, for its
sujKTior fineness and excellence, cary off the
priz- from the whole wool-growing world, at
n World's Fair, the prediction would bare
been very where received with incredulity
and "ienisiou so universal was the settled
conviction that the certain anil unavoidable
effect of a Southern climate like this would
be greatly to dete. iora'e, iu a few years, the
.quality of the wool ot the finest flocks that
might be transported so far South in short
that as you wrnt South the wool became
coarser in texture aud inferior in quality.
' Mr. Cockkii.l. in early manhood, sold his
landed patrimony, in the immediate vicinity
of this place, and embarked in the business
of sheep-raising and wool-growing. We have
heard from a reliable source that, when he
di-J this, some of the most intelligent men in
.'tlii country at that day warm friends of
his, too entertai'ied and expressed the opin
ion that he had fiKiled away his inheritance,
and that in a short time he would be over
tikea by total ruin in his pecuniary affairs.
He, however, tenaciously adhering to his pur
pose, pursued the even tenor of his way, and
went on improving his Hock of native stock
by judicious crossing with the best animals
he was enabled to procure from other and
distant quarters, until, in process of time, he
succeeded in bringing his flock to such a state
of excellence as to equal any in the world for
Jnysical organization and quality of fl'rece.
Not only did he do this here, but he took his
flock to the neighbordood of Jackson, Missis
lppt, kept it there several years, aud practi
cally demonstrated that even m far south as
that, time and climate worked no deteriora
tion either in the health and vigor of the ani
mals, or in the texture of the wool. Subse
q 'Ptly he retnrned with his flock to the
ne!ghloi'bood of this place, where he contin
ues his efforts, in all practicable ways, to
b lag it to the highest slate of excellence it
i a possible to attain. 'We have it from his
own mouth, that the capital be has invested
Id the business pays bettor than it would do
in any other branch of agriculture lu this
region.
Should not the abundant success which
lias crouwed the labors of Mr. Cockrill
stimulate our farmers and stock raisers to
turn m portion of their attention to this im
portant, and 11 judicously conducted, profita
ble branch of agricultural? It bas been in the
hope that it would, as well as to render ap
propriate honor to whom it is due, that we
bave thus briefly referred to some of the par
ticulars connected with Mr. Cockriu.'s his
tory, as the most meritorious and successful
wool-grower, all things eunsidWtd. to be found
in this or any other country.
Another Inducement, which we have not
before adverted to, for our farmers to give
more attention to this branch of agriculture,
is the facility, at a trtfl!ug addition of labor
and exiH-ns-, with which it may be connected
with other branches-wiih griiu-growing
with provision racing j. In fact,
it is not as a main laibinesa, except la partic
ular localities, but as art aljurict, that its
pursuit should be recommended er would I
advisaU--.' 'In thai-point of view, it may be
cotaaaenced ou a seal to suit lh circum
stances' of eaoti particular 'farmer, whatett-r
in y be Lis condition. Only make a begiu
in. with' a rettolato deteraiinatiiHi to gie
the business a fnir trial, and commensurate
success will be sure to follow.
As' to a market for wool, It way bs fond
aT home and abroad, aud at aa remunerative
prices, one i year with another, taking iuto
view the cost of prodactlon, as any other
Vt'ple article of produce furaULcd fcui this
ccijon. pf country. , . ,
It has already been stated that the annua!
amount produced fu the United Suu-s la In
sufficient, by from a third to half, for the con
auwpUoii of our home manufactories.
' We-not ouly Import the raw material to a
U g ; t'Jt, but w c al t import aouually from
foreign Countries from 23 ' to 50.0o0.0U0
. oL lioLUis orth U woolt-a good . The bulk
of these we ought to make at home, and will,
It'is to be hoped, at so distant day. "'- That
would greatly enlarge the domestic market for
the raw material."" ". v.
Then there is our largest and best commer
cial customer In Europe, England, which Is
an extensive importer of w ooL Her wants in
that respect we ought to be able to supply to
a considerable extent. In a word, the United
States, if they are true to their best interests,
w ill, before a great while, be large exporter
not only of wool, but woolen goods, instead
of being as they are now, -large importers of
both. , - ' r '
Delay In tbe Conatrnetton of Custom
- - House. -----
In the House of Representatives, on the
Sth inst., the Speaker presented a reply from
the Secretary of the Treasury, asking why
tbe construction of the Baltimore Custom
House bad been delayed. The reply states
that the Secretary bas postponed the con
struction of all the authorised public build
ings which h-.al not been commenced prior to
the late revulsion, owing to the insufficiency
of money in the treasury, and that he will
continue to act on that rule until Congress
provides the money to met the liability, or
otherwise directs.
' Mr. Habkis of Maryland, called attention
to tbe fact, that Congress, several years ago,
appropriated $200,000 for the Baltimore Cus
tom House, with unmistakable instructions.
Tbe reason assigned by the Secretary, he said,
was untenable, especially as, at the termina
tion of the last Congress, there was a sur
plus in the treasury, of near twenty mil
lions of dollars.flve millions of wb'ch, he, the
Secretary, had unnecessarily applied to the
redemption of Government securities at 16$
per ceut premium.
Mr. Habbis might have add. d to the force
of his statement, by stating that, even afUr
the occurrence of the revultiun, the Secretary ot
the Treasury went on to buy up United States
stocks, which would not fall due for some
years, to the amount of several millions of
dollars, at the high rate of premium above
mentioned.
Upon Mr Hahkis' motion, a resolution wa
adopti d referring the Secretary's communica
tion to the committee of Ways and Means
with instructions to report a bill authorizing
the expenditure of $200,000 for the construc
tion of the Baltimore Custom Ho'nse.
"Another Orftiali Outrage."
Another! Why. it must be more in derision
than in anger that the British Lion is contin
ually showing his teeth to our Modern De
mocracythat identicalHLionthe fear of whose
growl, the central organ of Democracy at
Washington, the Union, asserted, but a few
years ago, was a characteristic of our Whig
statesmen.
In January 1853, after the election of Gen.
Pikim k, but while the Whig Administration
was still in office, the Union said :
'The amiable facility, the weak and timid
suliservieiicy. and the disposition to submit to
any injustice rather than resent the most fla
grant outrage, which have charateriz- d the
s- ..... 7i . . :.. L-
ConUUCt Ol Hie AUIIIUIISIIUWUU iu ,,auiiif;-
trm with foreiirn nowers, have been copied
with the truest fidelity by their subordinates
in the Capitals of Europe."
On another occasion, the same Democratic
organ said :
"The deep interest which the Federal Le
gislature manifests 111 uuquesimun it-nju-unun
the foreign policy of the Government fore
shadows an era of more comprehensive states
manship, and a more vigilant regard Tor the
ritrht-. dicuity and honor of the Republic."
See Union, Jan. 23d, 18o3
Innuendo a Democratic Administration
. ii i . . l ? t
was soon to be lnstauea into omce, wuicu
would fully protect 44 the rights, dignity and
honor of tbe Republic ! '
Again : speaking of British aggression and
Interference, the central organ of the Demo
cratic party at Washington, said :
44 It may be tolerated and yielded to, if
such a course lie wisdom on our part : and
such a course seems to have bi en the geueral
policy ot the present W hig dynasty during
the greater part of the last fur years. Ou
the oilier hand, it may le firmly aud fearless
ly resisted and withstood, and this we under
stand to have been, ever since the Adminis
tration of Monroe, the settled doctrine and
policy of the National Democratic party."
See Union, ot Feb. 3rd, 1853.
Agaiu : In o editorial article, on the 21st
of Jan., 1853, the same organ discussed what it
termed the 44 fatal errors of President Fill
more's Proclamation in regard to the Cuba
Filibusters ; and it weut on to declare that
the orders issued to the French and English
cruisers by their respective Governments to
stop the Filibusters, were '4a flagrant insult
and outrage' to the United States.
Such was tbe talk of Modern Democracy no
longer ago than 1H53. And now, at this very
moment, in the year of grace, 1859, there are
lyiug at the port of San Juan del Norte, u-ith
the express concurrence of tie existing Democratic
AihninUtratiun, British men-of-war, with orders
from that Government, to stop," by force of
arms, any and all American Filibusters, so
called, w ho may be found attempting to effect
a lauding on the shores of Nicaragua ! Nay,
more : one of those British men-of-war, on
the arrival at that port of an American steam
ship fr commercial purposes, sent a boat to
board said steamship aud see if there were
any American Filibusters on board, and the
commanding oflicer of said British boat, upon
being informed that the steamship bad been
previously visited for the same purpose by &
boat from a United States man-of-war, theu
lying at anchor and In sight, replied, in sub
stance, that that was uot sufficient for Aim
that liis "orders'' required him to Bee aud
judge for himself.
j This act of a British man-of-war, Mr.
Aveut, a Democratic representative from this
State, recently pronounced on the floor of
the House, 44a far greater outrage upon the
rights of American citizens and the freedom
of our flag thau has heretofore beeu perpetrat
ed." Thus, with a hundredfold force recoil upon
themselves, in 1859, the charges made by De
mocracy against the Whig Administration of
Mr. Fiij.mokk, of oeing habitually actuated
by 4a fear of Groat Britain," and of "a weak
aud timid subserviency .and a desposition to
submit to any injustice rather than resent the
most flagrant outrage."
And thus vanish into the air tbe empty
boasts aud tun vaunting promises madti by
Democracy only six years ago, that, with
Bccesaica to power, would commence an era
of a "more vigilant regard for the rights,
dignity and buor o the Republic " than bad
beeu exhibited by their Whlrf predeci'tora in
office I

To tbe City Fat li ere of Iayor, Alder-

ARTICLE SECOND.
rGEXTLEKEM Indisposition has prevented an
earlier resumption of our argument relative
to the policy and importance of tbe city's
subscription of $150,000 to the' Henderson
and Nashville Railroad upon the terms speci
fied in our first article. Another object which
induced the Ilopkius, Mastodon Coal Compa
ny to submit its proposition to you was the
immediate completion of this railroad to its
coal fields.
We presume our citizens are aware that the
indomitable and discreet President of tbe Ten
nessee portion, Col. E. S. Chkxtham, w ill have
his division of this road completed to the
Kentucky line by Jane 1st; and that 24 miles
of the Kentucky division, extending from the
Kentucky line to Hopkinsville, will be graded
ready for tbe timber and iron by September
next. There are 0 negroes working daily on
this section, under E. G. Seabka and Mr.
Tixdel, contractors, who say thejy can in four
months, if absolutely required, perform their
contract, though they are given lougtr time.
From Hopkinsville to the coal fields it is 15
miles. As there is no portion of this 15 miles
graded, and as in Kentucky, Cvnstitutionally,
the State cannot aid iu the construction of
such internal improvements, and as the law
granting tbe power to counties and cities has
been repealed, in order that with the indi
vidual subscription of its own citizens, they
might procure means sufficient al once to com
plete the road from Nashville to the coal
fields, the Hopkins Coal Company have sub
mitted their proposition to the citizens of
Nashville as an additional inducement, and
partial compensation, beside the' $150 000
that the ciy secures likewise in the stock of
the railroad. The county of Davidson has
already suliscrrbed $200,000 fo this same
road. Therefore, there is nothing novel iD
the solicitation of this subscription.
We have a request, which we trust that
our gentlemauly City Fathers will grant, be
cause of the pressing vast importance of our
proposition to the future progress and sub
stantial prosperity of our city, and the great
er satisfaction that they may attain by per
sonally examining the coal region, by seeing
and knowing the gentlemen who constitute
this Coal Company understanding the re
sources of the counties through which the
railroad passes the probable direction of
their trade, the progress of the road, and its
future prospects of completion, and especial
ly to know that the proposition of this Coal
Company hath no tricks in it ; but was made in
a spirit of generosity through the persuasion
of its Nashville Stockholders. My request is
that tbe Boards of Mayor and Aldermen and
Common Council appoint a commission of
four gentlemen two from each Board in
whose good sense and sound judgment they
can rely al my own expense to go with me. at
any designated day that may suit their con
venietice, for the spiwified purpose above.
They will thus be enabled to make a full and
judicious report to the two boards, and they
can then act wisely in the premises. This is
due from the Railroad and Hopkins Coal
Company to the citizens of Nashville, and it
will avoid much writing, speaking, and all
trickery and misunderstanding upon this sub
ject. There appeared on Friday last an article in
the local columns of the Daily At-ir of this
city seemingly dictated by some head aud
front of .-mi up river Coal Company; con
taining some pertinent interrogatories the
pith of which we will answer. The editor
courteously inquires of me if the memlors of
this Coal Company by their act of incorpor
ation are personally bound for the contracts
of the Company. We answer to the amount
of their stock, while their entire body of lands,
and all the corporation property, are entirely
so. Let me ask him one now in return. Are
the citizens of Nashville individually lonnd
for the contracts of their corporation? He
will answer no. This editor asks me another
question. "If the corporation of Nashville
will maka the subscription you solicit, will
the members of your Coal Company bind
themselves individually to fulfill this con
tract? Let me ask you another. If the members
of the Coal Company will agree thus to
lecome individually responsible fuc the
prompt performance of their part of the ol
ligation, will a similar number of responsi
ble citizens of Nashville become individually
rospousible for the city corporation, contract?
If they will, then will the members of the
Hopkins Coal Company.
The subscription of tbe corporation, is to
Railroad stock iu the Nashville & Henderson
Railroad not to stock in the Coal Company.
This Coal Company never sought any aid
from any individual much less a corporation
and its proposition is to relieve the tax ridden
citizens of Nashville from the sharks of other
Coal Companies that impede its industrial
progress, as well as to light n the burdens of
the poor'and destitute of the City. Already our
our mere proposition has had the effect with
Sewanec Coal Company to lower their scale
of prices, from 22, 18, aud 14 cents, to 20, 15,
12, and 10 cents.
But you say, Mr. Editor, that experience
should have taught us that 44 corporations are
o&m." My dear sir, your experience at
least must in extent be questioned,' if you
mean by this word 4 soulless " the ordinary
clap-trap definition given it by demagogues.
Sir, corjMjrations. like those of our city for
instance of banks that represented by the
Mayor and Aldermen, the Robinson Associa
tion, the. Insurance Companies. Building As
sociation. Medical and Literary Associations,
and even some Coal Companies in all that
relates to honor, humanity, charity, punctili
ous observance of plighted faith, integrity,
evince and have ever evinced, more 44 aoui"
than thousands of individuals even 44 in and
about our midst," that are not and never
were corporate! or incorporated. My friends
as you are, I know; you did not mean offence
to me or other gentlemen belonging to other
corporations that your too vague employment
of terms might seemingly import. Learn
hereafter to displse the cant and mischievous
terms of demagogues. An act of incorpora
tion is a piece of parchment written upou,
whatever may be its character. It derives its
vitality aud existence from the members that
compose it. The parchment or simply act of
Incorporation, can perpetrate no rascality or
crime. It Is tbe members w ho constitute that
corporation that give to i t taul, kaaor, imffgrity,
benetxk'enee. vllilit y.fidtltty. It they are rascals,
thieves, pluuderers and oppressors of the
poor incorporated as a company, it ia because
they are so individually aud were so and will
be so nut of any act of incorporation an
honest tnaa la an boneat roan still, It matter
not in w hat eoetume or livery he may be clad.
IVrtnit me in tbe conclusion to submit a
portion of S. Watson'b Report upon the
importance of this road to tbe City ot Nash
ville while he was lu president. We all
know him for his practical gnodsenae, his
gentlemany bearing aid strict iutegrity.

This region is now almost entirely cut off
from Nashville. Unite it to her by Railroad,
and she will have- advantages for securing
trade upon the line of your road presented
by no other rosd how in progress. On the
Louisvilleand Nashville'R. R.Naehville meets
with a competitor which will draw to her the
business of that road almost up to tbe State
line. Upop ber Southern and Southwestern
roads, she also meets with a formidable com
petitor in Memphis, to which the produce of
the couutry lying Jn that direction tends.
Whereas upon tbe road to Henderson she has
no formidable rival, even up to the Ohio
river. The merchants of Nashville, since the
opening of the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad, by their energy and enterprise,,
bave been able to control the trade of a
country over two hundred miles in extent
This same eoergy and enterprise will certain
ly enalde tbem to control a very large share
of the rich trade tributary to the Henderson
and Nashville road. a
Besides the local trade of this road, is there
not reason to believe that a valuable through
trade may be command d by Nashville! Evans
ville, the northern terminus of this road, isat
the mouth of the richest grain growing valley
of tbe west. It is an important point for the
shipment of produce. This produce now goes
down the Western waters, over 1000 miles in
distance, and the portion intended for the
planting States, goes round to the various sea
ports upon the Gulf and .the Southern Atlan
tic, and thence up into the interior. Upon
the completion of youf Henderson and Na-h-villc
road, it cau reach Nashville in 150
milts, and from thence 'can be distributed
along the several lines of railroads over all
the planting States of the south. When the
river route of transportation from Evanville
is cut off by low water or ice, produce deliv
ered at that point will certuiuly pass over
your road for the planters ot the interior, or
to the cities of the Southern Atlantic for for
eign shipment no other route presenting so
short and cheap au access to the markets at

A Wonderful Fuel-Savins Cook
fStove.
Grave statisticians were formerly wont to
grow graver in view of what appeared to
be the serious fact that the fuel of the world
was being used up at a far greater rate than
that of its production. The use of mineral
coal, and the discovery of cubic leagues of
this better fuel, has put all such solemn
wisdom to flight. But a recent improvement
iu tbe cooking stove has actually added fifty
per cent, to the coal wealth of the world!
The improvement which is evidently appli
cable to all the kinds of stoves consists in
apparatus which eff -cts a combustion op tue
SMOKE ANI) OAS EVOLVED FROM THE ECRMXO
coal. The saving in fuel thus secured is
found to be fully fifty per cent.
The Ga Burning Cooking Stove has been
thoroughly tested, and its merits are found to
be genuine and indisputable. The reader may
satisfy himself of both the theoretical and
practical truthfulness .of the invention, by
catling upon Messrs. McBride fc Co., No. 49
Commercial street. He will there find that
this remarkable invention has Iteen admira
ble combined wiib all the best excellencies of
the most approved cooking stoves, and also
with other advantages rarely attained. The
combustion of the gas being effected during
its passage around the flues of the stove, the
heat thus thrown equally into tbe oven is
more intense than can otherwise be produ
ced. The centre pieces and fire back are
double, and are pervaded by a current of
cool air, w hich prevents the troublesome wnr
pings and fractures that are always injurious
and often fatal to the successful working of a
cooking stove. To these virtues of economy,
a quicker and hotter oven, and durability,
the reader will perceive tbat we may well
add cleanliness since the smoke and gas
w hich make dirt in other stoves are iu this
one consumed.
To all our readers desirous of a truly ad
mirable and charming cooking stove, we cor
dially commend a visit to the establishment

street. St. Louis Democrat.

From Mtarajua,
A letter to the N. Y. lleruld dated "San
Juan del Norte, Jan. 28. 1859," says the Cass
Yrissari treaty has at last been ratified by the
government of Nicaragua. The letter says:
The Savannah (U. S. vessel of war) is now
no her tpayfiv Afintrall. tritt important despatches
fmm the tnterirr, to be of great moment. 7'A
captain s clerk of tin Airawic ufe the ship at Keulejo
and tchen he arrived at Leon he found thai the
lof talked of trnttf had hten signed, sealed and
drlieereit, and trith the bearer, is note on board the
Savtmnah, on the way to Aspmwull, No doubt
the late news of the landing of fiHthustcrs
'hurrii-d up the cakes" of the"Poco tiempos,"
and induced tbem to sign, with tbe ol.jeo
tiynatile clause included and England and
the States have both the right conceded to
land troops, when they please, on tbe soil of
Nicaragua.
' '.
, 389- It is believed now that tbe Hon. J,F.
Bell, of Boyle, has reconsidered his determi
nation not to lc a candidate for Governor, in
tbe event of his receiving the nomination on
the Opposition Convention at Louisville, of
the 22d lost. We bave never been able to
understand how Mr. Bell could refuse to ac
cept this position, if tendered to him with
the unanimity which seems to attend the Op
position popular a ntiuient of the Slate In
regard to the matter. Mr. IJell is a strong
man. and will, if he I tbe candidate, make as
brilliant a canvas of the State as has ever
ts-en made by any man, and succea under
hia banner would hardly be problematical.
