"The hum of busy industry" is a phiase that has becomne associated with the evolutions of water wheels, the play ofoiled machinery ard the whirlofspin dies. The mind at once travels into the four walls of some stately structure, devoted to the arts of manufacture, of which the weaving of fabrics for human clothing is among the imst prominent, as it is among the most uspful and ex tensive, that employ capital and labor. The phrase hits now beconin mt.taphori cal and is often so used. But whether it originated in a Cotton F.ictory or not, it is certainly now no longer a mere fig tre of speech in our city. Already at the factory of the Augusta Cotton Man. ufarturing Company th'e noise of ma chinerv and swift whirlihg wheels is dai ly heard. We had the pleasnre: yesterlao of going through and examining thhi fine building. Standing about forty yards front the terminous of the Canal, its powerful ieel propelled by water drawn front the Canal and putting in motion a large amount of shafting now erected and complete, ih. factory tow ers aloft five stories high, two hundred and sixteen feet lung and fitty-one feet wide. It is or brick of a granite foun lation, and is an imposing specimen of masonry. The interior arrangements, are in rood keeping with its exteriur appear. ince. Next to the main building, and :onnected with it by a passage 16 reet ong and 8 wide, is a picker house 32 y 4 feet, three stories high. We :ould not but admire the, care and ingi inity which aro dikplayed in the con rnluesn ju, Vy wiu. ,,.,:':r house, he part of a fractory which coiiii. arge#st bulk of conhustible ii neria iI14 ocated-from. themain buj In '1W Wo itis evident that thp k s night be co .6th which 'heateda er n ed ron iubes, into each story of the fac. :ry. This will secure the conf ort of he'operatives in the iold64 eather wvithout-danger from fire - ' The entire cost of thise bddngfis ibout 30,000. In addition, a boarding house and imaller hocscs for operatives are 'id pro. gress. About one-fourth of ha machinery is already received. Tie wheels are fur nished and in daily use, The shafting, hangers, &c. are all arranged and ready for use. Workmedt are busy erecting the frames for the spindles, the cards, the looms, and a val iety of other niachi naty. Froi appearances, in a very fe w wveeks, prob ibly the first of next month, the spindles will be whsirling, the shuttles flying, and the raw Cottou will be converted into cloth the factory con suming at the rate of 36 bales per week. It is expetted 1. put 5000 spindles into operation during the apiroaching summer. The building ind machinery are caicuiated fur and will accommodate ten thousand spindles, and when these are nll, it work,.-which will be at no distant period, August~a will contain one of 'he muost complete and an exien sive Cotton Factories in the Southern Stattes. Considering the admirable a dtption of all its parts to the end inview, thei order and co:cvenientct atrrangtemont of the buikling, the carn wish which the machinery, all of she finest styie of workma~nshaip and comibining all the ha te'st imp~rovements has been got up, this factory may be salely pronounced one of the most complete in the U. States It probably hasino superior. It is credi table to the enterpt ise of our city, and is the fore runner, no doubt, of many more of the same sort Our water power is immense, but we hopo to see thte day when it will be all brought into requisi sition. Let those croakers who doubted wvhethepr the Canal woul ever st a wyheel in motion g~o ttp to thu factory~ and exatmines for themselves. The capital of the Aug~usra 'Manufac turing Company is $157,030 L->cated as our city is, with all its convenience for the business, we doubt whether sim, ilar amount of capital can be employed at any pinit in. otur country in this busi ness with better profit.
