Louisiana cottonade.
--We translate from Edeam Courier the following:
The Creole women of Attakspas have been making, for a long time, out of the cotton grown upon the soil, certain goods much in the marked of the South.
A woman can make twenty-five ells (an all is a and a halt) of cottonade a month, and this is worth three dollars an ell, which made seventy-five dollars. The expenses of tritution are small.
Two years since a Tennessee an brought into Attakspas a certain number of machines to clean, card and spin the option.
There are now in this region about a hundred of these machines, capable of making 800 ells of cottonade a month.
The cottonade sells at a price reduced to one dollar and seventy-five cents an ell. The machine imported from Tennessee does not occupy more than four or five square feet, and can be worked by two children.
