The formation accompanies for the purpose
offorwarding this truly beneficial system, has
taken place In many parts OF the Union, si9cs
last Spsing---with much success TO the fNorsa
and with very partial prospect OF encourage
ment southwardly. With the exception Oh
charleston, Is. c.) most of the thcrcompanies
have been but moderately patronised 8 seem
1,nl;kely TO succeed. Whether these Compa-
,,ies have been founded on too extensive a
& xeale. or whether the dispositions OF the inha-
bifantsin those parts Of our country, are IN
friendlyto thess establishments, IS not Tor me
TO leterninc--veay certain 1t IS that the iaua, ;.
able and patriotic views OF the promoters o'
these institutions, are at present much para
USED, By the apathy Of their fci,ow-cltlzeAs'
antlthe enthusiasm IN favor OF domestic eco
norny, seems subsiding to its former ie,el.
With view TO restore this generous ana
worthy cause, + have sought for, and obtainea'

by them appropriated to the promotion OF the
yVool,en Manufacture, and the erection or a
SEMINARY for the education OF the children
who n,aY be engaged in the works, and such
eth srs as may be proper candidates Tor lnstruc-
ton.
The situation hereby offered cannot be ex-
seeded in point OF value or convenience. The
Mills are between four and five miles from a
leyandria, 5 and ! from Georgetown and the
City, and the great road leading from the po-
tomac Bridge to the Little River Turnpike,
will pass Immediately by the scitc.
The expences calculated by the subscription
NAV perhaps exceed the necessities OF the
plan, il SO, the latter installments viii be but
partially required,
s. That the works iferected, viii meet with
iuse encouragement, i fully believe,since there
are no establishments ofthe sort IN the South
ern Country where they are more particularly
wanted.
