WATER POWER.

There is an abundance, of water
power, already improved, inviting
the attention of manufacturers. We
have no doubt small factory, such
as already abound in Alabama and
Georgia. for the purpose of con-
verting cur cotton crop into yarn,
would prove paying Investment.
FIRE CLAY
is found in abundance, as well as
CLAWS suitable for pottery ware OF
the very finest texture, purely white,
and free from sand or grit. Per-
sons having practical knowledge
of such business would soon realize
a fortune in manufacturing and
shipping such wares to the New
Orleans market.
MANUFACTURE OF GLASS
Sand suitable for the manufacture
of glass is also abundant all along
the banks of the Bogue Falia. above
the town of Covington. 1t has been
practically tested by Pittsburg
manufacturers, and found to con-
tain all the necessary properties to
produce the finest glassware.
CONVICTION,
the county site, contains about
eight hundred inhabitants, and is
the best business point in the par
ish, commanding much of the trade
of both st. Tammany and Washing
ton parishes. The mail from New
Orleans arrives three times week,
per steamer New Camelia, and
there is some talk of building a
telegraph line.
At present there is no mill or
manufactory of any kind in Coving-
ton. Building sites for marufac-
turing purposes can be had on the
most favorable terms, and every
facility will be offered for immi-
grants to this parish.
