LOCAL MATTERS.

The Chester F~etoyy-From present indica-
iions the contemplated boot and shoe factory,
at Chester, is soon to be established, and may
be made very profitable by the introduction Ol
the best machinery. A company has been
started in New York for manufacturing boots
and shoes by machinery. They Calculate to
make 900 pairs OF boots and shoes per day,
with l2O persons, not more than 25 of whom
need be skillful shoemakers to superintend the
machinery In every department. the remain
ing 70 to ba men, womeS, boys or girls. TO
make and finish the same number Of pairs OF
boots and shoes by the Massach usetts process,
1t would require from 500 to GOO men and wo-
men Skilled in the trade.
On Tuesday next the citizens Of Richmond.
Petersburg and Cheaterfleld favorable to the
establishment Of a boot and shoe factory are
requested to meet at Chester, to determine
upon some mode Of action Some of the
friends Of the enterprise are now at the North.
and nave no doubt informed themselves ~ to
the value Of the late inventions in shoe-mak-
ing machinery. II they determine to erect q
factory at once--and no time should be lost
in getting to work, If the South has determ inc j
to withdraw its patronage from the nullify.
ing State Of Observation-Disclosures better plan
would be to nut the entire business in the
hands of one or more practical men, and let
the factory URve the advantage of individual
enterprise. There are in the surrounding
counties scores of white boys and girls who
weuld be glad to get employment in the facio-
ry, and who could soon become sufficiently
skilled to finish the work so nearly completed
by machinery.---ae-- ll
We have had speeches, and resolutions, and
public meetings Oh the subject of Southern
manufactures and Southern independence.
Something more subs tantial is necessary to
erect buildings, purchase machinery and pay
wOrkmen. We want money to begin with
money to continue with--money to ensure
success. In Massachusetts. where most of the
shoes are now made, manufacturers furnish
stock to workmen, and almost every village
is a shoe factory. Capitalists know the divl-
dends their outlays are to realize and they
invest literally in leather, on which they re-
alize handsome profits from the South Let
our men of means follow that example--let
hem unite their purse-strings to enterprising
mechanics, and a trade will be secured here
which will give employment to the poor. and
pay handsome per cent. on the investment
