MANOfAClURESi IN HE OESl.
We copy the following article upon Do
nestle Manufactures from the Mex Orleans
Bnlletain. In Indiana, Manu-
featuring Establishments are springing upl
daily, and il cannot be long until, as the Bull
letin suggests, the work shops Of the East
viii be trsnsplanted to the West. When the
Wabash and Ohio Canal shall be completed
TO the Ohio River, Evansville will hold out
inducementsto capitalists, for invesimenisin
the Mechanic arts, second to no place on the
River. The exertions at present being made
by our citizens for the finishing Of that great
work, cannot fail. II must and will be com
pleied.
DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES.
The suggestion that upper parts Of the
Mississippi, valley viii in a few years be the
chief seat Of American manufactures, is un-
doubleday well founded. Already, labor and
capital TO a large amount are employed in
manufactures Of various sorts in the west In
western Pennsylvania, the upper par, Of west
em Virginia, and in the eastern part of Ohio,
manufactures Of cotton, wool, silk, paper,
wooden and stoneware, &c &c. abound
Within circuit of twenty miles from Mount
Pleasant, Ohio, there are probably two hun
dred manufacturing establishments Of differ
ent sorts, and constantly increasing. At
Cuahoga Falls, little village near Akron,
Ohio, are some eight OF ten immense paper
mills, as well as other manufactures. In
Akron nearly all kinds of manufactures
known to the country are carried on. Cotton
yarns and cotton, and woollen fabrics Of diff
fereni descriptions are made; there are man.
ufactores of machine cards, oil mills, paper
mills, and several Of the largest and most adj
mirably arranged Touring mills, we venture
TO say, in the world. Sieubenville in Ohio
has for several years, been famous for the
manufacture Of jeans and other woolen and
worsied goods. Evansville is also manu-,
featuring town, and Dayton, in the western
part of the state, carries on great variety o
manufactures. AT Cincinnati also, and a
Covington and Louisville, Ky, manufactures
for large and increased business, and il
some towns in Indiana, also, are considerable
manufacturing establishments. The manu-
featuring interests in thewest, as we'll as a
the north, received great impetus from th'
passage Of the present tariff law, and iron
t, the general revival Of business which follow
ed that measure. Steam and water powe
are both used in the west. Many parts o
e the Ohio valley abound with "wa.er privil
r eyes," as they are termed, the streams whic
!. empty into the Ohio generally being broke
!. by rapids and cascades. The canals, also
e in Pennsylvania and Ohio, furnish an in
b mense water power, not nearly all Of whicl
S is yet occupied. Other parts Of the vale
: abound in coal and all parts in wood, Of N
D use but for combustion, so that steam powe
