Woolen Factory.-During the past week
arrangements have been perfected for the cs-
tablishing of wooden factory in this place.
Mcssrs. OvERNAN 4 Co. have contracted to
erect three story stone building, SO 55
feet on the ground, to be ready for use by the
first of January next. A Mr.. BLAsBURG,
who has had lifelong experience in the
business, puts in the machinery, which he
now has on hand. The latter gentleman will
be the sole proprietor of the factory, he rent
ing the building of Messrs. OvERNAN & Co.,
with the privilege of purchasing it at some
future period at its cost. This is branch Of
industry we have long felt the need Of, and
we doubt not that the enterprsing proprie-
tor will realize handsome thing from his
investment. Much credit is due to the en-
terprising firm that puts up the building, for
the reason that had it not been for the very
liberal inducements offered by them, we
should not have succeeded in securing this
addition to our manufacturing interests,
which will, we trust add to our solid and en-.
during prosperity.

ABig. Time.-Awild, boisterous and hap
Ply time we had here last Wednesday even
ing over the news of the capture of Vicks-
burg. In less than ten minutes after the
glad news was received, Main Street was
ablaze with excitement. Everybody seemed
to be overlooking with joy, and it dubbed
out of the mouth in loud and continuous
huzzas. Flags were displayed; the cannon
brought out, and its iron throat pealed vic
tory's loud anthem, and martial music with
its stirring notes famed the excitement to
fever heat. A procession was formed under
the command of Captain Wilcox, and head
ed by the band and the glorious old flag,
marched back and forth. The only order we
heard given by the Captain was: Boys

of them we should think by the +" bully !"
noise they made. Then small building
pierced for two ten-inch columbiads, belong
ing to our friend WHITE. was brought forth
and a bonfire made of it. The rihe.pit,
however, was left, as it might be of use in
case of an attack in the rear. JEFF. Davis
was hung in efligy, and then burned. Speech
es Were made, and songs were sung, and we
saw a good many strong temperance men
running In and out of saloons very oltcn.-
We wouldn't insinuate that they went in for
the purpose Of drinking anything, but are
very much afraid they would have yielded to
the temptation, had we not went in occasion.
ally and kept an eye upon them. AS we
could not watch them all at once, we are
afraid that some of them did get a sly drink
when our back was turned. We went home
about eleven o'clock, and the excitement was
then as wild as ever,-though so much noise
was not being made as in the earlier part Of
the evening, for the reason that all were so
hoarse that they could hardly speak loud.
But amidst all our hilarity and mirth and
the wild JOY that reigned sopreme, the gal
liant boys to whom we are indebted for the
glorious victory, We're not forgotten. Cheer
upon cheer for them made the welkin ring
blessings were showered upon them without
stint, and heartfelt wishes for their health
and safety, and for their speedy return to
the homes that will honor them, were upon
every tongue. "
