HOW CERTAIN COTTON 3013 IN MAINE ARB WORKING—SUP- PLY OF MAT ND—EFPECTS OP THR WAR, ETC. It is & notoric tho cotton corporations in New f profits by selling by the sale of 1 at the increased rates, The nand is pertly speculative and partly not, although it may be hard to satisfy every one of the correctness of the latter agsersion. Let me furnish a few facts. LACONIA CORPORATION, BIDDEFORD, MB, Now running one mill on fine shirtings and shectIngs, heavy shoetings and cotton ilaunels, The produc® as compared with this time last year, isa little less than one-third, I have tho assertion of those well qualifled to ow, that this reduction in production is not in conse- quence of the prevailing war, but in ordor to oke out tha stock of cotton on hand without being obliged to stop work bofore a further supply can be obtained, The amount of cotton now held py the Laconia corporation is about 4,500 bales, which, at the present rate of consump- tion, will last upwards of two years. It will be thus ob- sorved that the Laconia management are anticipating a more protracted struggle than the management at Wash- on, Ry the sale of the cotton now held by the Laco- nia corporation the sur of $250,000 would be realized. For example, the 4,500 bales should average 470 pounds per bale; in round numbers about 2,000,000 pounds in the Supposing this cotton to have cost, witn al) ; interest, &c., thirteen cents per pound, and to be now worth thirty cents, the profit above named would bo realized. I loarn that it ig not the intention of the company to sell; but if they do sell they will, of course, sell to @nybody—speculator ¢, manufacturer An astute manufacturer would not hold his cotton at present prices, or at any prices when he could not make as much by manvfacturing it up as by solling it in ite uninanufactured state. It is true there : disadvantage in suffering the mills to lie idle, in con- eoquence of the rusting of the machinery, the difiiculty in getting hands aud other matters attending vpon re organizing; but if managers get $20,000 or $30,000 more by selling their cotton than in working it up, the differ. ence would goa good way toward starting up again. Tho pays out about $5,000 per month to opera etured gooilsy ev tives WHAT HROOMES OF THE FACTORY GIRLS. Some curtoeity has been awakened to know what be. comes of tho large number of factory girls thrown out of employment. It may relieve the minds ef those in terested in the subject to learn that a large number of the American girls have comfortable homes in the country, to which they repair when out of work; others hire sewing machines at so much per week,and accept contraets from army contractors to make government w he step from high to low contractors is very short; but, while the first contractors make fortunes, tho girls earn a bare pittance, not half so much ag they would earn in mi good times.

Notwithstanding the rise dn the price of the manufactured article from nine to eloven and twelve cents per yard, it is the opinion of tho management that the corporation coukl make more by solling the cotton than the calico, Fiftoen nundred bales midland cotton, for which they paid eleven cents, and which they now hold, is now worth thirty-five cents per pound. ‘The figures differ slightly from those furnished at the Laconia mills, but the net profit to the Cocheco corporation is larger Notwithstanding the mills are doing relatively better than for years, 1am sorry to hear oMcially that the com. pensation of the operatives has not improved, “many of the girls now working for scarcely their board.” The affairs of the corporation, print works, &c., are ineffeient and trustworthy hands; but"we were sorry to miss the kind welcome of an old friend, the late Captain Paul, for- mer agent of the corporation, to whose polite attentions your correspondent was much indebted two years ago.

Since then, however, the Pemberton has been reconstructed, upon its old site, with improvements upon its interne; strocture, &c. The Pacific mill is running full time, and the Bay State is busy manufacturing woollen goods for tho army under government contracts, The little Duck 's also swimming along, doing lively work in making tents for the army.

There are now about 6,000 persons, male and female, employed in th” Lawrence corporations, and but few idiere about the reets, Another net and useful institution has been reated in Lawrence since the lust year, and that is the election of W.

Mr. Wright was foreman of the committee ap- pointed to investigate the causes that led to the Pember” y, and acquitted himself with success, looking of the corporators as well ag to the in- terests and to the safety of the lives of the operatives. WAGRS OF THR OPRRATIVES IN LAWRENCR. Some interest is being taken outside as well as inside the Lawrence corporations in regard to the wages of the operatives, some parties eantending, with rigid justice, that the compensation of tho operatives should be ad- vanced in fair proportion with the increasing prosperity of the tills, if it be but temporary. On the other hand, there are those who declare that the operative has no ghtful claitn to a participation in tho ephemeral prospe- rity of the companies, unlegs be or she be willing to sub- mit to reduction m times of depression. It so happens that she operative is obliged to submit to such reduction, whether willing or not, or go without work; and as they are now scarcely earning much more than a living, and the mills ar doing well, the corporations could not do a handsomer or worthier thing than by generously order- ing an increase in the wages of their employes. EMANCIPATION IN LAWRENCE but few supporters. Everybody hurrahs for the the inducements, § ry encouraging. It cannot be denied, however, that nine-teuths of those who have enlisted about this region would not binder a slave from making his escape under any circumstances, and just as likely as not would help him on his way. A number of prominent citizens of Lawrence have enlisted or been commissioned—among others Major Levi P.

Mason and John Siidell can neither be de- graded by imprisonment nor insulted by anything pro- ceeding out of the mouth of a blackguard, and can still look down from the wails of their military jail with elo. vated scorn ypon the low minions of Abraham Lincoln, who fear and respect whilo they vilify and despiss them: No little interest and apprehension is felt here concern ing the fortunes of Captain Pegram and the Nashville in foreign waters. By the last advices from England we hear that internat.onal complications are threatened in consequence of the capture and buruing of the Harvey Birch, as it is now alleged, within soundings. and there- fore ot on the high seas, and that dilfioulties are ex- pected in the way of repairs of tbe vessel in British dock- yards, while it is absolutely certaln that the United States ‘ernment willmake groat efforts to waylay and geize oth verre] and crew ou their return voyage. England having recognized us as beiligerents, and & United States veasel-of-war having been uliowed to euter her ports, it seems, however, most unlikely that any interference will de wade on her part to annoy the Nashville while she re- mains within British waters, aud as for the Yankee navy, Captain Pegram is abundantly able to take care of that wheu he gets ready to come ho ‘The object of the Nashville's visit to Europe appears to Je Lincoln and his friends to a considerable degree.

Tho taking out of Confederats naval oflicers, wherewith to supply commanders for first class frigates to be pur- chased in Europe, does not seam a perfectiy satisfactory explanation.

It is now whispered (hat Col. Heath is not to be seut to Missouri, but to the army of the Potomac, as a Major General, uever- theless, to take the place of General Farl Van Dorn, who will be aesigned to the chief command in the far West. ‘This step would bo less ili-judged, as it soems to me, than that originally intended, “The great objectional fact will still remain—the displacement of Goneral Price. The soldierly qualities of General Van Dorn, and his fitness for high command, have nothing to do with the main queztion, which is this:—Shall one of the very best offl- id the serviée, a man of the bighest courage and ca- pacity, who hag rendered his name famous by victory after victory, and by bis skiliand courage hos carried a gréat Stace out of the old Union and brought it into the Southern confederacy—shall such a man be proscribed in the very hour of his triumph and hia usefulness?

Vory fapny stories come across tho lines to us of the borsemanship of the federal cavalry.

A careful examination of the charts of the above pro- posed routes, will show that nature has interposed no ob- atacle to the succeseful prosecution of this euterpriso. ‘Tho cable throughout the route may, and should be, laid in deep water, beyond the reach of either accidental or intentional injury. To relation to the cost of laying a submarine cable as above proposed, I would say that it will depend ine great ancasure upon the price of gutta percha in England at the time the cable shal] be ordered, and also upon whether the government shail desire this line established for merely a temporary purpose, or as a permanent means of communication with its military and naval stations on the route indicated, Submarine cable Gene ovale ‘be obtained as low as one hundred dollars per rile, and from that sum up to perhaps one thongand dollars, depending upon thequall- ty, quantity and price of material used, the perfection of tho workmanship, and whether designed for a permanent or temporary purpose. I would strongly recommend that for the proposed line the government procure a good and permanent cable, such as I ordered in England in 1856 for the New York, Newfoundland and London Telegraph Company, which was successfully laid in July of that year across the Gulf of St. Lawrenoe, between Newfoundland and Cape Breton, and which for years has not fora moment failed to work perfectly, without the expense of a sing'e cent for re- rs. ‘This cable cost about one hundred pounds sterling per mile in England, ‘The cost of establishing the proposed line would be, be- sides the price paid the manufacturer for the cable, the freight out from England and the expense of laying. ‘The rate of expense per mile for aying it would be very much less for a long than for a short line, as the experso of a steamer crossing the Atlantic with the cable and ma- chinery ready for laying it would be uearly the same in both cases. The French \ Abetssnca) has recently had a cable laid ‘ross the Mediterranean from Toulon to Algiers, a dis- nee of over five hundred miles; and the English govern- ment one from Malta to Alexandria, a distance, by the route pursued, of over thirteen hundred miles, and both are working with entire success. ar * *¢ &* # #© g # With these lines established, and a despatch verse! run- ning between Key West and Havana, the government would be kept constantly advised not only of the move- ments of its own forces, but also of those of the rebels, on the coast, and their vessels in the West Indies; and shonld the Nashville, the Sumter, or any other piratical craftapperr in those waters, it would be at once known here, But it cannot be necessary for me to refer to indi- vidual instances {o illustrate the advantages to the go- vernment at es of such a means of communication, and especially during the existence of the war for the s:ppression of the present wicked rebellion, as its impor- tance is too obvious to require it. ‘A single mossage may be of more value to the govern: ment than the entire cost of the line preposed. With much respect, I remain your obedient servant, CYRUS W. FIELD. To Gen. Gro. B. McCreitax, Commander-in-Chicf, United Staten Army, Washington, D.C. ih a 8 s * # @ As bearing upon the question as to the time required to make and lay a cable such as I have suggested, T would state that the Atlantic cable was manufactured at the rate of about twenty miles per day, and was Jaid across the Atlantic—a distance of about ninétoen hundred statute miles—in leas than seven days from the time we cotnmenced in mid-ocean, Possessing such a line, the government would be saved tho expense of despatch Boats to convey intelligence; and, when peace i restored, with short branches extending from the main line to New Orleans, Mobile, Savannah, Charlyston, and other principal Southern ports, it would be very valuable for commercial purpores, and could, undoudiedly, be disposed of for a large sum, should gov- fanaa then be willing to allow it to pass into private hands, ‘Major General McClellan endorsed this letter as follows: — I most fully concur in the importance of the submarine telegraph, proposed by Mr. Field; and oarnestly urge that his plan may be adopted, and be authorized to have the plan carried into execution. -_ * ¢ ¢ « Very reapectCuliy, GEO.
