Iron tho Augusta (jeo) Chronicle, March o.
We chronicled few days since, that the
Augusta Manufacturing Company had increased
Its capital from 100000 to SOC, GOO. by the
NOUS vote OF the stockholders. Having many ap-
phcations for their stock, and being allowed by
their charter to increase their capital to $50000O
the Board have recently decided to open new
books, and receive subscriptions to the amount OF
100000, with view to build new mill by the
aide OF the one now in operation.
A fair share OF the stock Ia this new establish
nent Is now open TO the public, tor the benefit of
such as desire to invest money In sure and profit
able business No subscription will be called in,
or payment asked, till the whole sum subscribed.
The new factory will reap the advantage OF all
that the company has learned by experience in
building pioneer mill SO that every dollar will
be turned to the best possible account. One gene
raj superintendent, and one salesman, office, &c,
will answer for both factories. This, ofltsef, will
be quite saving in the contingent expenses.
The present mill is turning cut 81, 900 yards OF
cloth a week, which will soon be increased to
So The demand for these goods greatly ex-
ceeds the supply. Each loom gives product of
forty ya.ds day. There is full supply of worthy
females and OF males, who seek employment at
this important mechanical pursuit Their wages
are good and satisfactory. All classes are begin
ming to appreciate the wlsdom of bringing the
loom AID the spindle to the cotton, the bread and
the meat; all see the folly of being at the useless
and the enormous expease of carrying Georgia
cotton, breadstufis and provisions, to Old or New
England, to be wrought into common goods, for
Georgia consumption.
Georgians can do their own carding, spinning,
and weaving. They will soon make their own
shoes and boots, saddles and harness, and tan

1t has been clearly demonstrated that we can
aDdersell the northern manufacturers of coarse
cotton goods. There Is case In point. The
Virginia, Georg,a, and Alabama osnaburgs have
entirely driven out of ms and the New Orleans
market the ssii ar fabrics heretofore supplied by

We can erect mills less expense, procure the
raw material more cheapy aud in better ORDER
and although labor may be higher, these and
other advantages will enable our Tuscaloosa
friends and others who may engage in the bas-
ness, to furnish all kinds OF paper on as favorable
terms as the northern and eastern mills. Indeed,
we feel confident that in few years Alabama
