From the Augusta OonshtuGonalist
The magnificent success Of the August and
Grauitcvile factories has lmpelled q nu mber
of gentlemen IN South Carons and Georg 10 to
combine somewhat OF their surplus funds for
the purpose OF establishing new cotton mill.
II is proposed 10 raise. by subscrlDtion. capi-
ia stock OF $500 700. and locate the factory at
Vaucluse. Sou,h Carolina. Of tho sum pro-
posed, the amount Of $3.50, 600 IaR already been
condltonally subscribed at the North, aud
th ere remains but on equa! amount to be raised

handsome proportion OF this has already been
pledgcd, aud now that the subscription books
are opened at the Office OF Messrs John j.
Cohen & Son wo anticipate constant acces-
sions. 40 that the matter will b. promptly
launched. Though the capital stock is to be
$500 600. 60 per cont. only will be called for
wheu all is ubscr;b,d, aud the remain ng 40
pcr cent. in four iustallneuts within twelve
months Out o. thls capital it is proposed to
e1pend s4OO 700 in the erection OF mill OF
Is 600 splndrs. The AuSusta mill has, we
b.liove. 1S 600 splndles, and the draniteyllie
mill 22 600. Wo refer to thus to show that,
tnougl not 80 capacious as either OF these
splendid factories, the projected mill at Vau-
ciuse will, nevertheless, be one OF CONSIDERABLE
magnitude. ~
