GEORGETOWN AND ITS AFFAIRS.
asonosrows, September ii-l2 n

GEoRoErowH, September 11--l2 m.
With the many proofs to the contrary, cam
not see how any one could suppose that sim
gle individual among our citizens entertained
the idea that the business Of our town is on the
decrease. During the las : three or four years
there have been more streets improved than
during the ten or twelve years previous. The
stock Of our Corporation has increased from
some eight to ten per cent. below par, TO some
three to five above, and none in the market ut
these prices; and under the wholesome opera
tons of the sinking fund, the debt of our Cor
poration is being fast liquidated.
A few years ago there were idle on Water
street some half dozen warehouses; now there
is not one, to my knowledge. On Bridge street
there were at least dozen vacant stores-now
there is but single one. The number of -four
ing mills has increased from two to five, and
a cotton factory. The number of extensive
wood, and coal, and lumber yards has increasd
in almost equal proportion, and SO has almost
every kind of mercantile and mechanical BUSH
ness: And, with all this increase in number,
one Of our oldest and leading merchants in
formed me, as stated in one Of my communica-
tons some three months ago, that his business
had increased ten per cent the last two years,
and that the increase this year would be greater.
Add to all this the extensive (Union) line of
omnibuses, which have their location here; the
| increase in business upon the canal since its
I completion to Cumberland; and the great num-
| Der of elegant buildings which have been and
are now in course Of erection, and it will be
| easily perceived by every impartial individual,
that Georgetown has already come out of the
wilderness where she SO long sat and mourned
over her departed prosperity.
NeD and useful Iavention.--Iw witnessed this
morning the operation of q new tenon chisel,
