The CAPITOL-A tour about the halls of
the capitol this morning disclosed the fact
that the keeper of that institution, Mr.. r.
H. Bradley, has everything in most COM
plete order. The painting has been COM
pJeted, desks and chairs repaired, bright
ened and put in position, the floors newly
carpeted, and the gas arrangements finished,
50 that the members of the senate and
commons have nothing to do but come for
ward at the appointed time and take their
seats in the midst of elegant surroundings.
The manner in which the trust has been
executed is very creditable to Mr. 3.

purposes and the work of putting it up will
he commenced as soon as material can be
accumulated. Those who have the matter
under control know how to do such things
right.-RA. Progress.

Rock ISLAND WOODEN FACToRY.-This
Factory, so long known, was formerly loca-
ted Is miles from Charlotte, on the Cataw
IVA river. Since the war it has been moved
into Charlotte, and now operates near the
Central Railroad. General Young showed
lis through the whole establishment, greatly
TO our satisfaction. Among the large amount
of machinery added since the war; may be
found ten very large double looms, Of the
latest and most superb style. We saw
these looms actually weaving ten different
varieties Of most beautiful and very fine
WOODEN goods. General Young informs us
2hat these goods are now sold extensively
al nearly all the Southern States We have
never seen prettier or better goods of New
England manufacture than these mills are
now producing.
The dry goods merchants of Raleigh,
poor fellows, have never seen the goods.-|
We must not omit to notice the new steam
boilers used in this Factory. They are con-
structed OF large number of small cast
iron globes all connected, 50 as to allow the
steam to pass freely from one tOanOther, the
blast passing between and around the globes
\ full head of steam is rs at any time raised
IN fifteen minutes a large amount of wood
plosion. We were perfectly delighted with
rs operation. On the whole we have not
tor long time spent SO pleasant a day as
re spent in Charlotte
