following valuable information relative to the man
ufacture of cotton goods in Georgia; the number,
names and locations Of the manufactures and the
supposed supply and demand for cotton gOod4 the
coming year. Mr.. II. says:

felt that the consumption Of the people viii soon
exhaust the supply of goods hand in the ebuu-
try, it is particularly interesting 10 learn very
nearly what Is being produced, by whom and
where It will be source of qualification to every
Georgian to learn that the Empire state leads i the
manufacture of most Of the necessary az tcles and
particularly fabrics for clothing.

Georgia, and believes the figures. (Which have been

cloths, knapsacks, &c. should continue grelgt
heretofore, which cannot be expected. The VI riter
