I was very agreeubly surprised this evening by meeting our old friends, John S. Gilbert, James F. Secor, and their party, who are on their return to New York from Pensacola. They will leave here to-morrow in the Northerner. Messrs. Gil- bert and Secor, as you are aware, have the eon- tract to build an immense floating dock after Mr. Gilber’s plan, for the United States government, atthe navy yard in Pensacola. They left New York in November last, taking out some seventy ship carpenters with them. All are now on their return, having completed the work laid out tor this season, consisiing of the greut platform and heavy work. They return again in October, to go on with the superstructure, and the dock wiil be read, for service in about two years. When this wor will be finished, Pensacola will be one of the Most important naval stations in the United States. There is now no duck south of Nortolk, and our vessels of war have to come to the North to be re- paired vl examined. i . Mr. Gilbert hus given me a very interesting de- . weription of his return trip from Pensacola to Mont- gomery, Alubuma. 1: weuld seem that there has always been a gieat deul of inconvenience in pass- ing fiom Pensucela to the North ; in tact, there is Bway of coming North, auless by first proceeding south wo Mobile or New Orleuns, which 18 not only very inconvenient, but very danverous in the sick- ly seatou, At oue time, the inhubitants endeavored to obtain means to Constracta railroad from Pensa- ola tu Montgomery, Alabama,which wae surveyed, meascred, aud found to be 160 miles; but the people tat. ee ton huo not sufficient means, and it could not be cecompliched. To go fiom Pensacola to Montgomery, by way of the Alabama river and Mobile, is 560 mil To cut this off, and shorten the distance, Mr. Gilbert purchased a large U.S. Wagon, harnessed to it half dozen of their work- ing mules, and crossed on the aefae track, ing over 160 miles. Between Belleville and Greetvilles in Alabama, io the midst of a forest, 3 Feast six miles trom any habitation, they were over- taken by a thunder storm, accompanied by a gale of w ii wae just after dark, and lasted an hour. As soon as the storm commenced, and trees began to full, the party hurried to an open space, where the tulling trees could not reach and crush the wagon und team. Mr. Gilbert describes the scene as sublime and terrible; the crash of immense trees on all sides of them, the blinding lightning, and the terrific peuls of thunder, was a spectacle mot often witnessed in more northern latitudes After the hurricane had spent its. force, they lit pine torches, and endeavored to proceed on their Toud, having yet five miles more to proceed cirodgh the forest. This they fuund was impossible ; the road was a perfect barricade; but by removing trees from the road, and cutting down trees off the road, they ut last reached tbe open couutry,xnd found shel- fer ina farm house, just in ‘ime to escape another eee which came trom exactly the opposite di- ction; and during the night, while at the, farm jouse, they could hear the sound of falling timber as plainly ag if there had been firing of 42 pounders, tie Northerner carries North quite a large num- Tr of erengels. You will notice, by the Southern papers. that the reat railroud conven:ion, which was to have been eld ut Memphis, mn Tennessee, on the 4th of Julv ext, has been poetponed, on account of the cholera im the Southwest, to the middle of October.

He. 4 Tleft Charleston yesterday morning, and came up by the cars to Augusta, returning to this ma- aufacturing town this morning. Iam surprised, and really cannot credit the evidence of my senses, ‘at finding such a village in this spot. One ean very readily imagine himserf in one of these manu- facturing villagesin New England, which have sprung up within the last 20 years, This place is abouta mile from the Seuth Carolina railroad, 165 miles from Charleston, and about 5 miles from a beautiful little town called Aiken, where a great many people from Charleston resort vn the summer geuson. aving Aiken, you descend a long in- ed plune, and ufew miles farther on is Granite- ville. in a letter from Charleston, when I had occa- sion to speak of a cotton factory, I said that I would endeavor to visit this pluce, where the great experiment of a Lueaihegaabiatl town has been mude, und successtully, too. Ithink. It had bren a subject for some ye that had been mooted in the South ; a great deal ot investigution had been made, and 2 Siege number of statistics had been obtained from Northera and New England manu- factuters, to shew and to convince the people of the South that cotton manufactories could be erect- ed in the South, and that they would successfully compete with the New England munufactories. The origin of these inquiries, no doubt, was the desire of many of the Southern statesmen to see the Souk enurely independent of the North, and particularly so far as regarded coarse eotton fabrics, the raw materiale of which is the mzin productions of the South. The result was, that such articles aud statistics appearing in pempblets aud southern papers, called the attention ef capitalists and enterprising men to the subject : and w 1846-47, manufactories began to be erected im the South. But, by far the greatest of all, and which tests the matter fairly and fully, is the ma- nufactory in the town from whence I date my Retier, and I perhaps shall meet your views more fully by contining my Teter to a simple detail of the progress of this manufactory and town (which sprung up together), its present po-ition und pros- pects, Granitevilie 1s certainly the college of manufactures in South Carola. It was cem- menced about three years ago, and this town was adarge tract of woods. 10,000 or 12,000 acres of land wus bought by a compuny tor about $L per acre, or total $12000-—the cupital of the company, which is called the Graniteville Manufictaring Company, which wasall invested. A canal brings the water about a mile, and cost $9,000. ‘The fac- tery buildings cost 960,000 ; Sreab nets, Sea. he: 000 in erecting a saw-mill inichine Seay SUS.0W fo dwelling houses, and the remain- der of the capital in water-wheels, shafung, laying out streets, &c., &e. The manutactory commenced work last July, and has now been in operation nearly a year. At first, the shirtings and sheetings cost 20 cents a yard, and were rold for 6; but gradually, from week Ww week, this cost hus bee. reducing, until, as you will peiceive by the statement I send you, which ie for the lust week, the sheetings oost about 4 and , and this cost wi lessened about ball wcentu yard, within a few weeks, when ail the spindles (9,000) and looms (300) are in opera- fon. In wid tion to the sheetings manufactured, there will be forty loums used for drilling, which will produce about 9,000 yards a week, and sells for 8 cen!

In fact, since Christ over 40 mar- rages have taken place between the young male and female operatives in the factory. They were brought tepenes in it, became attached, and got married. such a case, the wife generally leaves the factory to attend to the housekeepi arrange- mente of the new couple, and the husband con- tnues in the factory, which gives them an inde- pendent support, ‘ The grounds around the factory are laid out with a great deal of taste, and I have not seen, in a long while, a more prosperous and thriving place. New houses are going upevery week. The applications for work ure double what they can possibly employ. They could obtain, in the district, 400 male and femile operators, who are without any work, if they could give them employment. _ The granite of wnich the factory is constructed ie fone in a quarry close by this place.

The land about here is wretchedly poor: in fact, itis co on the whole line of the road from here to Charleston. I never understood precisely what “naked land” meant, until I looked out upon the land adjoining the line of road. It has a very slight covering indeed. Col. E., of Charleston, observed tome that the road ran on a ridge of high land, which was tke poorest land in the State; 1 think he was correct in the remark, tor I do notthink thut any could be poorer. It is worse than Jersev lund. The corr was about three or four inches high from the ground, and looked qu I. ‘There is no mistake that this part ef the country is destined to be a great place here- after for manufactures. In this district there is produced over 10.000 bules of cotton. If this can- not be manufactured here, when it is produced (and can be sold ruw for 64 to 74 cents per Ib ) cheaper than in New England towas, when, to get it, it has to be sent from here to Charleston, 140 mules; thence, by sea, to New York or Boston; thence to 60me place in the interior, where it 1s manufactured, undergoing a variety of charges, as tranepertation, treights, cartuges, storage, ma- rine and fire insurance, lubor, wharfage, commis sion, &c., on the way, at diflerent points—then I am most awfully mistaken, that is all.

The Cotton Mills of Georgia—Ther Extent—Mr. Petsch, the Engmeer—The Manufactures of Furniture, §c., &c. Tretumed here last night, and have spent this day in visiting the cotton manufactory in this vi- ciwity, and the other objects of public utility. Augusta is a very little pluce, located on the bank of the Savannah river. it contains a popu- lation of about 7,000. It hase principal street, call- ed Broad, which is at least 200 feet broad, and ex- tends through the length of the town, parallel with the river. The banks, stores, &c., are in this main street. Opposite this town, and conneeted by a wooden bridge, is Hamburg, in South Carolina. For two cents you can walk over there, and for two cents more you can eome back again, which makes four cents it cost me to learn all about Hamburg, which contains 800 or 1,000 inhabitants, and is the depot for wagon loads of cotton, which arrive there to the tune of about 36,000 bules of cotton per annum. The South Carolina railroad terminates in that town, There 18 @ smart groce- ry business done there, and one concern alone selle sbove $160,000 per annum, which is carried into the interior by the wagons which bringin the cot- ten. Exceptiin seeing American cotton bales, there is not the slightest resemblance between our Americun Hamburg, and the other Hamburg across the water, which I have travelled pretty considerably. : A ‘ Augusta, by the foresight ef its corporation, has the water power to turn all the machinery in the United States. The Savannah river can all be used tor this purpose, if itis required. This river nas a fall, or rather a series of rapids, whicn make a descent of fitty feet in a ran of nine miles. To tuke advantage of this, the Augusta prople com- menced a eanul about 9 miles above the towa, nod brought a6 much water us ie required tor maaufac- turing purposes close tw the place. This canal is come seven miles in lemgth. [t cost $200,000, and runs on three levels; ufter the water is used on one Jevel fora mill or mills, it rans down into the next level, aud so on to the third. This is an econemi- cal idea, The wuste water fivally geta back into the Savannah river by the canal on the third level. To build this canal, the city levied a snecial tax on real ertate, which was much grumbled at, bat has been paid after some Jaw suits with men who now appreciate the work, which has made reul estate valuable in its vicinity. _ About 20,000 bales of cot- ton are brovght to this city through this canal. There are in process of erection on the bank of the canal two very large flouring mills, capable of making 200 barrels of flour euch, every day. This fact as ae the attention of the Georgians to the raising of wheat, which has not been much at- tended to until recently. These mills expect to urchate wheat for about 90 cents a bnshel, and I have no dowbt that Augusta will export a large wantity of flour hereafter. The flour used in Churlecton comes principally from Georgia. { ‘The greatest manufacturing establishment in Georgi for coarse cotton goods, is the Augusta Manufacturing Company. | erected their millund bui of Augusta, on tne extreme end of the first level of the canu]. The ground oceupied is about seven acres, and wae given to the company by Mr. Gur- diner, a director of the company, and tormerly from Boston.

No eolured people are em The $30,000. ployed. The wages earned are from $2 to 96 per week, male and female. At first, for a month, they only pay the boxrd of the new beginner.

Oa the contrary, they have d a subseription for $150,000 more, whieh ia subscribed jor; aod another factory will soon be ope erected on the eanal, by the side of the present one, and, as soon as it is ready to go into operatien, the stock will be blended inone. The factory built pays l4c. for sach spindle per annum to the canal company, for the use of the water. This is over $1.150. ‘When the canal banke are stocked with mills, it will be doi good bi The stock will be 0 “cotton manufactory, in this vicinity. The fact is, these mills pay, and the attention of the Southera reve are turned to them, and great changes will foliow. Poor folks in the South have a hurd time toga slong ; here is an opening, aad employment will be given to thousands. far as labor is con- cerned, it is cheaperin the South than at the North, in such branches of employment as the Southern white man can do as well as the Northern . where it is soon learned, like the work in a manu- factory. I have before me the Herald of the 12th June. In the money article of that date, you epenk of the manvfactories in Geo. gia, and mention four mills near Columbus. In eddition to these, there are over thirty-four eotten mills in this State. ‘The one to which | have It is the only one I have It pays @ handseme interest now, not ithstandioe it has the dieadvantage of a short experienc There is no doubt thar every well conducted man ‘ta " company for coarse cotton goods in this State 1s paying a profit.

They are emull affairs, and don’t draw much water. It will not be many months be- fore there will be an almost wubroken line ef rail- yoad communication between Charleston and Nashville.

Platt 16 the proprietor. He 1s now erecting « steam-engine of 10 horse power, which will be in operation in a few days. Jt is put up under the direction of Mr Petech. This is the third time I have mentioned this able mechanic and engineer, and to-day [ met him for the firet time. He corrected me in_regard to the repairing of the first, locomotive in Churles- ton, He repaired and run it himself; but he is a native of that place,and not, as I stated, a Northern man. If 1 was Mr. Petsch, and had his ability, I would at ence put ont, and go to. Prussia, Turkey, or Siam, where genius is appreciated, and propor- tionubly paid, instead of putting up machinery out this way. The President of the Graniteville Com- in speaking of h + On ereeting thia ent rare instance of native mechanical geulur has been exhibited by Mr JD.

Even now, he sells cheap- er than those articles can be imported from the North. 1 saw some slave mechanics at work. One of them makes twelve bedsteads per week, and 18 #n extraordinary workman—he can make ffteen. Hie tutk 16 81x, and Mr. Platt pays bim $1 each for all over, 6o that he can clear he averages $6. This man is worth over a thousand dollars, h ke has saved by overwork. His price is $1,000. He probably would net be ha'f as well if he was free. ‘There are quite many able colored mechanics in the North, who would im- prove their cendition by coming South, selling themeelves, remitting home their purchase money to be ploced in a savings bank at interest. They would be favored as rlaves, could do overwork live like fighting cocks, keep remitting north, und by the time they got old and cera not work, their masters would sell them fora song, when they would return to the North and find « fortune accumulated, which they could enjoy to the end of their duys, and Jeave a couch and income for their descendants. A great muny instances could be enumerated, where white tolke have become sluver, and jabored for years, with the same mo- tive and same resulte. lem at the United States Hotel, kept by Mr. Fargo, the successor of Mr. Mixer, who now keeps the Charleston Hotel. It is an excellent house. the largest im this town, and is the rendezvous of the great body of southern travellers. ComMrssionEr. Theatrical Musieal.

The weather to-day is refreshing; abalmy breeze has come to our relief, and by its influence the works of nature are set in graceful and gentle mo- tion—a description of agitation which is most ac- ceptable after the solemn stillness which has per- vaded the whole course of her stupendous produc- tons for the last three or four days, in consequence of there not having been a single breath ot wind. The silence is happily broken, the trees bend to and fro, and their foliage discourses in sounds musical to the ear, and cheering to the spirits.

Such are the terms in which I have eurd every one speak of the fearless, independent, and patrioite Herald. , Ihave heard, from first rate authority, some anecdotes reepecting General Scott’s severe and trying hurdehips during the Mexican war, which are highly illustrauve of that brave man’s mag- napimity, and anxiety for the comfort of those under his commund during that, memorable event. In the course of thirty hours, he fought and won four battles, and in that ume oll the sustenance he had hud was a piece of muttcn; and atter the victory, the brave mun himsel!—he by whose consammate judgment und able munq@uvring, a handful of an uimy achieved a series of biilliant conquests, which, without drawing on our imagination, rank with those of Marathon and Thermopyle, Sala- mis and Platea, Granicus and Arbela—bought a couple of pounds of cuke froma Mexican, (ull he had.) and without touching a morsel of it himself, rent itto be distributed umong the weakest of his men, What Hannibul’s troop were at Canew, Cawsur’s at Pharealia, Napoleon’s guards at Aus- teilitz, the Spartan band, commanded by the node Leonidas, were in Mexico, under the most adveree circumetance £—periodieal sufiering from wunt of provisions, and @ scarcity of nuinbers, which render their achievements so astonishing. ‘Lhe speeches of the General to his volunteer officers were noble, patriotic and eloquent.

The General would addrees his officers in this strain:—He wish- ed the army of the United States to be a model worthy of imitation—that ite officera should not retiect credit upon this State, or that State, but upon the whole Union, wherever the church and the echool were represented, or in other words, upon all those States where intelligence and mo- rality prevailed. These uliusions to the General and he victories may be considered 4s mere com- pliments; but they are not so. | They are facts which are deserving of mention, and which, teken with General Taylor’s hard fought fights, will constitute a glorious epoch iu the history of the United States. It to speak of facts be compliment, be it 80; but in the longuage of the inspired writings “He alitheia megale kai is kuno tera para panta.

The cadets are neutness itself; every thing is in order; system the prevailing rule, as on. such a basis the prosperity and high reputation of the meutution rest; und obedience to superiors und gentlemanly deportment, crown the whole.— Such is my impression of West Point, ae the Aca- demy 16 familiatly desiynated, which is the result of ocular and auricular demonstration.

Are you aware, tae Herald, that Gen. Taylor has more than half promised to come here this eunmer? It is positively true; and, as a conse- quence, board, not putty, has “arisen.” The Gen- eral is to be lodged and beefed in Mathew New- kirk’s cottage. {ll warrant yon, if he should come —and John M Clayton ae he will—that Delaware will never recover from the shock. They have two curious, old-fashioned custems in this State, of which I mnst tell you. First—It is a law that, for certain offences, women shall be stripped and ned toa post and publicly whipped. Yes, whipped, or rather Inshed, until the blood flows down their backs! Think of that, will you, in this uge and csuntry. Secondly—should a man owe money in another State, he can be arrested here and thrown into prison, where he must remain a year, unless the debt is sooner paid. What do yeu think of that? Isn't it magnanimous in little Delaware, to become the collector and the prison house of all the other States in the Union? I have told but the truth. When I think of these things, I cannot help wondering thut so fair, so delightful, 80 enchanting a spot as Brandywine Springs could be found here. If you will come with me to the houre-top, { will sow you the loveliest country ever tpread out before the eye of man. Look— the eye never danced over a fairer scene.
