or Monday with a gentleman from one Of the
Northern cities who has for many years been
largely cngagcdm the importation of French
Burr and German stones, and who has made
a visit to Savannah expressly for the purpose
ofcxamining the Georgia Burr stones, manu-
featured in this city. He expressed himself
much pleased with the specimens which he had
sccn ut t?,a manufactory here, and has gone to
The qnarry for the purpose of seeing the mode
employed in getting out the stone, and to satisfy
himself. more fully, in regard to the extent and
arccssi!,ility Of the deposit. He informed. us
that he designed making orders with a view of
putting our Georgia stone in direct competition
with the imported article in Touring mills in two
of the Northern cities. We learned from him
also, that similar test is now being made IN
one Of the largo Touring mills in Richmond Va.
