We are indebted to Mr.. w. F. Herring, ofthe
house of W +. Herring Co. Of this city, for the
folio wing valuable information relative TO the man
uacture Of cation goods in Georgia the number
names, and locations Of the manufactures, and the
supposed supply and demand for cotton goods the
coming year. Mr. II, says:
In times like the present. when apprchensions
are felt that the consumption Of the people will soon
exhaust the supply of goods on hand ia the coun-

soon be ample supply unless the quantities used
for tent cloths. knapsacks &c, should continue as
great as heretofore which canuot be expected. Tho

position hst we have tents and accoutrements con-
suming cotton fabrics for $50 900 men, which have
been made within the last twelve months, and that
will not have to be replaced with new ones under
two years in the main; and that an addition Of
l5o0 900 more in the next twelve months, is as much

The above Factories, nearly all make q surplus
of cotton yarns, which are now readily sold and
are being woven upon hand looms in the country,
and thereare several small Factories that only spin
yarn in the State, not included in the above list.

figures and get as nearly as possible the production
OF their different Factories, and we will soon find
out whether there is any just ground for the fears
about scarcity Of goods. Georgia is certainly
to-day, producing largely than she is consuni-
ing ofthe above named goods
