individuals have purchased the Burkhnrn
Shoals below Hay wood, in Chatham

Factory,-but have not learned whether
they have yet commenced operations.
Il is a!sI understood lhu an English
gentleman has purchased Fullenwiler's

enlarge the Iron Establishment, but to
erect Woollen Mandatory.
We aisn learn that lhrre is large Cot
ton Mandatory either IN actual opera
tim. or will be soon, in Northampton
County.
Brsr'e these. il is very probable that
there may be one, or two others in the
State. cuher in actual operation, or in she
progress nG erecting.

North Carolina is making rapid progress

the work has just commenced. Her
facilities are so great that the business
once started, must 60 on. We have wa
Ter power abundant. and cheap We
have the raw mater rial a, hand. aud wha,
is remarkable, labor in the Western coun-

New England.
