The War and the Manufacturing In.
So terests Of the South.
"A correspondent Of DeBoV's Repseo fo1
April gives detailed account of the in'
crease Of Manufactures in the South since
the beginning Of the var. The following
are portiononly Of the many referred to-
In Spartanburg and Laurens, South Gar
olina, great manufacturing enterprise hat
been exhibited. In che latter county it is
mentioned, in addition to the regular
branches Of manufacture, the ladies gener.
ally are making great quantity OF most
excellent cloth Of various descriptions for
mems wear, children, negroes and even for
themselves, which are now taking the places
of fine delaines and silks. The ladies in
one battalion iu that district, recently fur.
nished for the uniforms of one company OF
volunteers three hundred and fifty yards OF
very nice jeans, Eve hundred yards Of. fan,
mel, and three hundred and Fifty pairs OF
socks, in . very short time, made upon the
old.fashioned hand looms, which are nu'
meroas in that county-one in almost eve.
nv famify-and some Of the cloth for ser.
vice is said to be equal, if not superior, to
the best broadcloth. In Chester every
household is said to have become manu-
featuring establishment s
~ In our ,sighboring Commonwealth, N.
Carolina, here has been an equal revival Of
manufacturing industry. In Wilmington
the following articles are noticed, which
were formerly received from the North
Ashes, candles, lamp oils, salt formerly
supplied from the West Inkes and Eng
land), and cutlery Peanut oil is supplied
by mills established since the commence
.ment of the war, and rosin oil manufactured
to considerable extent. The manufac-
ture Of salt by evaporation or boiling is
largely on the increase. ...r. .s -
In Charlotte County, in addition to the
cotton, wooilen, and other manufactures
formerly existing, an establishment for the
manufacture of linseed or Aax.seed oil,
with capacity to turn out five hundred
gallons per day, will be started, and anoth-
er for the manufacture of cotton seed oil,
will commence operations in few weeks.
The powder mill will manufacture thous.
aud pounds per day, with 3 capacity to
double the quantity. r..
In Greensboro various establishments
have sprung up for the manufacture OF
guns, pistols, saddles, shoes, barrels, drums,
sashes, sewing machines, &c., which prom
ise to be remuuerative to those engaged iu
the enterprise.
In Beaufort the manufacture of salt has
been begun on small scale. The impres.
sion is, that it can be made = profitable bu-
siness at one dollar ss bushel, and at much
less if the war would continue for term Of
years.
In Monroe the domestic jeans and linsey
cloth establishments have Increased their
operations. Pistols and bowie knives have
been manufactured.
In Carthage, the entire people, it is said,
with unexampled energy, have REQUIRED to
the primeval principles and customs of in
dustry, economy and frugality which char
actsrized our ancestors for many years sub
sequent to the wars Of '76 and 1912. The
men have embarked industriously in ma
king plows, wagons, shoes, tools and uten-
sils of wood and iron of every description
for domestic purposes every farmer is
putting down bis trough or vat for tanning
leather. The gun and rifle makers have
resumed their wonted art, gone into their
shops, forging out barrels, and fixing them
up ready for service. In one neighborhood
shoe pegs are being made by machinery in
quantities sufficient to meet the demands of
the South. In fine, the people are deter
mined scrupulously to live Independent Of
the North, as they are svidencing by their
handy inyestions. The women, too, ami
mated with becoming zeal and resolution
to sustain our glorious cause, have put aside
their silks, their calicos, their head dresses,
and covered up their pianos, and have sub.
stituted the wheel, the cards, the loom, and
are fostering commendable spirit of emu
lahon in making the largest number of
yards, and the neatest patterns Of checks
and stripes for themselves and their little
ones, and the substantial jeans to clothe
their husbands, their sons, and their broth
ers in the army, and then for gratuitous
distribution to any needy soldiers. They
are, without distinction Of circle or proper
ry, all united in constant and useful en-
gagement in getting up domestics OF every
kind to add to their comforts at home, and
supply our army with blankets, clothing
and neat caps. Defend US with your bay
onets, and We will sustain you with our
needles, is the watchword with them.
In Rockingham County, cotton yarn, cot
ton cloth of various kinds, and woollen
goods, suited to the necessities Of the army,
are being manufactured.
In Lynchbprg, Virginia, one envelope
factory has been established, one for the
manufacture of blacking, and one for ma
king lucifer matches. The manufacture Of
hats and caps is being carried on quite ex.
tensiyely. Several tanneries have been es'
tablished in the neighborhood.
In Abingdon, the salt works ere manu-
