A$STEAA FACTORY OF BR0GANS.-1We had the
pleasure yesterday of witnessing Tie operation Of
set W machinery erected for the purpose of MAX
ing sheen, and iEpelled by steam. II is put mp
temp IL the upper story Of building at the
corner VI Notrc Dame street and tle Levee. Mi.
\ eNcuyos WHO is b partner IN The enterprise,
politely explained IA the object which be has IN
view and had his machinery set iii motion that the
cruWd of gentlemen present might witness itwork
ing 9ha rough sole-lcather was taken and passed
throasn two sets Of rollers which prepared if for
c1ttln i was then carried to another place, when
n Kind of stamp cut IT oH into properly shaped
s0les last IL the leather could be fed to it, These
solss wers then put through a kind Of sewing ma
chine ithout thread, which punetnred them all
arCund lie cage ready for metallic facks. When
wooden pegs are 10 be used, this portion of the
machinery ii not called Into reqnisition. The up
pels have III thu meantime been cut by hand and
aewrd lsF machinery. They and the prepared
solcs areinow taken in hand BY the iaster. who in
about M minutes passes them on to be pegged.
This operation y proposed to adone BY amachne
lately inyentcd callei the pegger, but which has
not ooais To hand, though four Of them have been
ordered. II Gan readily be replaced, however, by
= hand labor. When The pegging i complete and
the heel on, she shoe III passed through range Of
finishing apparatus, which gives the edge tile
proper aiaoothness and appearance. II is said to
be Here espe ciaIly that an immense amount of
labor II saved. ssIs a c. ,s8s
These we're practical men present at the trial
who seemed perfectly satisfied with the results oh
tsinea, and from ell the Information which we
could ather, the successful working OF such fac
tofySseeacd to as quite q feasible idea, II GER
tsinly III very pleasant one to contemplate. Mr.
DeVEuys proposes To make by this process 1900
pairs 0f Rloes dag that il, about half a million
q year Several factories Of this SORT, established
ii favorable points ID the South, would totally de-
strcy orr shoe trade with the North, as to the
kinds made, and thus sever another link in our
chain Of dependence upon that section. Besides
that, such factories would certainly Be eenters Of
population and 81 wealth.
AHtolthe feasibility OF the project, MIR. Dey,euye
snys that the same Invention has been in success
ful ana highly profitable operation for several
years ii France that this u the only set of the
machinery vat made isi the United States, and was
p successful s.ptfa ..s.si u York until the
financial crash Of 1857, since which time i'll
proprietor has heretofore been unable TO under
90 taic Expenses necessary to its proper outfit
It's peculiar advantage is that the labor EN-
pioycd about II need not be skilled. A few
good jaarneyin ara necessary, the rest may BIZ
negroes and bays. n al, he expects to employ
one hundred and one hands, allowing for every
grown worknan % per day, and that then the
abar on each pair of shoes will amount to eight o.
nine cents pnly, while in the Massachusetts facto
res y y about tEonty u twenty one cents. He
thinks there VIII be great saving in commissions
and in freight, too even If the leather must be
brought here from Boston. But the probability is
thai great deal u leather which Il said to be SEM
from The Western and Southern States to Boston
for marker could be broughtaere and sold at tlit
same RAJ ss.
Tho proprietofs of tliis machinery, and Of the
patent right for The United States, through Mr. De.
KeaFe, offer % sell out to any company aud to
take themselves $50 ego worth Of stock in the en-
ternrise. Practical men and capitalists could Ok.
anime tho subject with little trouble, and might
find It well worthy Of their time. Mr. DeYeuve re,
quests Us ID state that communications addressed
TO The care of %. Il. Carroll A Co., Cameron & Nc.
KEGS. OK Barton 4 Works, will reach him.
