Cotton Spinners' Convention.

--This body met at Atlanta, Georgia, on the 19th instant. Four States and eight manufacturing establishments were represented, and the body was composed of a number of men who are prominently known all over the South as experienced manufacturers and economists, and some as statesmen. Three committees were appointed--one to form a Constitution for the Association, one to send a cargo of Southern manufactured goods to Germany, and one to go to Montgomery to solicit from Congress permission to import cotton machinery into the Confederate States for two years free of duty. The Association then adjourned to meet again on the second day of May next.
