a company has been formed in Augusta, Ga.
which has purchased from the Government
the old Confederate powder works at that city,
that during the war were surpassed in size
and perfection Of equipments by none in the
world. Since the war they have been lying
idle aud were fast going TO ruin. 1t is said
that the object Of the company in purchasing
these old works is to again use them as powder
works, Coz which thoy are, for various reasons,
admirably suited; but it is doubtful if the
United States authorities will permit chem
to be ussd for this purpose. Efforts have been
made to secure this permission, but So &r
without avail.
