that the projected enterprise Of erecting spacious
building four hundred feet long, fifty feet wide and three
stories high, for the purpose of furnishing addona
accommodations to the manufacturing business of Wor-
cester, going forward in good shape. The contracts
for the ground and building made and signed, and
next Monday operations will be commenced. The site
selected is upon the lot of ground between the Norwich
Rail Road track and Beacon street, and Locust and
Jackson streets. II is eligible location, connecting
as it does with all the Railroads divergng from the
city, and doubt that manufacturers in other pla
ees will be clad to avail themselves of the facilities
which this enormous building will Offer to them, as
well as to many Of our own citizens.

THE "DIGGINs" IN SOMERSET County,
MAINE.-We have already mentioned the suppos-

ducing considerable excitement there. An extract
from letter from Bingham, in the Portland Adver-
tiser says
/" Yesterday went to the ciggins within miles
of this place. l washed three pans of dirt and got
10 or IL particles of gold. As yet there has not
been digging enough to ascertain whether il will paw

The BLooMER CosTUME.-The Boston Journ-
al is not satisfied with the name of Bloomer for the
new costume, and TO make it more classical propo-
SEES that it should be called the &c Camilla Costume
To this think all sensible ladies will have most
decided objection. The Camilla Of ''Classc -
times was savage, uneducated, heather woman,
who, the historians tell US, was brought up in the
woods, fed upon mare's milk, and gained livell-
hood by hunting. She never distinguished herself
in any thing save in running over corn-6elds, and
fighting with the men like very pirate, as she was.
On the contrary Mrs. Boomer is an educated, intel
gent and virtuous American woman, possessed OF
good sense, and,as every body admits who has seen
the style of dress she recommends, of excellent
taste. However, it is question that the ladies
must decide for themselves, but we have no fears
that many will prefer for the sake of the Cassi
cal to call the new style of dress after Pagan
virago, rather than Christian woman.

SOUTHERN CoTToN M1LLs.-The State of
Georgia has been making great ado within year
or two past, about cutting itself aoof from deper>
dence upon the North for manufactures and supply
ing her citizens at their own doors. To this end
large mills have been erected, costly machinery
procured, and agents sent into our Northern manu-
featuring cities and towns to induce Yankee girls TO
60 South and show the natives how things are done.
Great and tempting inducements were offered to
these girls and some of them were so unwise as to
be deluded by them viii appear by the following
account of Southern cotton mill, from the pen off
Lowell girl who is writing from Columbus Ga.
"When | first went into the mill was speech
less, but my tongue has since been loosened and l
have expressed my mind in tolerably plain English.
The girls in the mill are so ignorant that we have to
talk with them though they were children not
more than three years old. They keep their bon
nets on, when in the mill, and also the men, their
hats. There is but one clock in the mill, and no
looking glass until we carried in our own.
A Northern hog pen is a parlor, when placed in
comparison with the mill. We had such disturb
ance about the DIRT, that the first superintendent
came in, with hoe and shovel, and commenced
work around the sink, as though he was in barn
yard. Nearly all the girls in the mill chew tob; Geo.
they have also small stick, nearly as large as
pipe-stem, one end of which they chew, until it is
something like brush then they dip it in snuff,
put it in their mouths, and suck it like babe
They pay % cents bottle for snuff, one Of which
