The enterprise displayed by Its dthr*na ta really worthy of all praise. Northern capital is seeking Investment boom of the numerous industrial concern* that are constantly spring in* up In Augueta. But there is room for plenty more, soe with a view of laying nterestlng and valuable loformatloa before our readers, we propose to dedi cate a portion of our space to a de scription of some of the principal In dustries now established lo that city. Our loformatloa Is derived directly from our special agent, who Is travel- log through the Southern State#, aud la at present in the above named dty. We publish below letter* from him oootalnlag a very inter eating account of tha largest mllia In the place; and our sketches of other houses are equally reliable, being made up from notes forwarded by him for that pur pose. The population of Augusta is now about tweoty-flve thousand—within the limits of the chy proper—while some five thousand more reside lo the Immediate neighborhood, having thdr business located is the city. A large amount of wealth is centered in Au gusta, which is said to have more cap ital invested In atocka, bond* and in dustrial eoteipriae* than any other city la the State. It la one of tha beat lolaad markets for ootton, and this year about one hundred and seventy thousand bale* of It will be received and sold there. Tew towns can boast of a better system of railway oommui- catioo than Augusta, as the Georgia BaUroad, the Mecca and Auguste Railroad, the Port Boyal Railroad, the South Carolina Railroad, the Auguste and Savannah Railroad and the Char lotte, Columbia and Auguste Railroad all centre there, while work will shortly .be commenced on the Auguste, Knox ville aad Greenville Railroad. Besides this complete railroad system, the city offers extraordinary and unusual fa culties and advantages for the estab lishment of different kinds of mills, owing to tha great water that It en joys, Tha dimensions and capacity of tha canal are as follows: Length of main canal (or first level), seven miles; minimum water-way, one hundred aodlftfty test at surface, and one hun dred and six feet at bottom, and eleven feet deep, giving a total area of 1,408 square feet, while tha three levels com bined have a total of 14,00b hone- power. Augusta oecoplee the centre of a flue agricultural region, and Is one of the best markets for fertrlteemia the South; wbll* the climate Is exceptionally fine, greatly fovoriag the cuiti vst ion of fruits vegetables and general props—to much no indeed, that tha wutermalooa raised la tha neighborhood have a very wide spread reputation, aad are shipped to all parte of thaUotoa.
