Valuable Information.

Valuable Information.
| We are indebted to Mr.. W. F. Herring, of
| the house of w. F. Herring & Co. of this city,
| for the following valuable information rela-
tive to the manufacture of cotton goods in
| Georgia; the number, names, and locations of
the manufactures; and the supposed supply
and demand for cotton goods the coming
! year. Mr.. FL. says
In times like the present. when apprehen-
| sions are felt that the consumption the people
| will soon exhaust the supply of goods on
| hand in the country, it is particularly inter-
| esting to learn very nearly what is being pro-
| duced, by whom and where. 1t will be a
| source of qualification to every Georgian to
| learn that the Empire State leads in the mau-
| ufacture of most of the necessary articles, and
| particularly fabrics of clothing.
The writer has taken some pains to learn
| the amounts and kinds of cloths, obricated
in the State of Georgia, and believes the fig
| ures, (Which have been very carefully COLA
| ted,) will have tendency TO allay the excite
| ment in the market, at least so far MS cotton
| goods are concerned, Of sOhich there must soon
| Re ample supply-unless the quantities used
| for tent cloths, knapsacks &C., should con-
| tinue great as heretofore. which cannot be
| expected. The writer makes the above asser-
| tion, aad on the superstition that we have
| tents and accoutrements, consuming cotton
| fabrics for 100000 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 10000 more in the next twelve
months, is much as may be reasonably cal
culated upon. .EF.
The aggregate weekly production of cot
| ton goods in this State, may be set down as
| follows:
Shirtings and sheetings .202, 900 yards
| Osnaburgs, Stripes, Drills and
Qenims. ..27l 500 yards

satisfactory. >-S5 s--

The above Factories, nearly all, make a
surplus of cotton yarns, which are now read
lily sold and are being woven upon hand
looms In the country, and there are several
small Factories that only spin yarn ia the
State, not included in the above list
Let our friends in the other States take
down the figures and get as nearly as possi-
BILE the production of their different Facto-
ries, and we will soon find out whether there
is any just ground for the fears about a scar
city OF goods. Georgia is certainly, to-day
producing largely more than she is consum-
ing of the above na.ued goods tianfal Ga.)
