The two Cotton Mills, situated a mite apart, give employment to many hundreds of people, while the fertile and easily cultivated lauds in the immediate viciuago nff >rd pleasant and profitable occupation to those who nrc inclined to follow agricultural pursuits. This place and Cowpcns (situated about two miles apart) offer excellent inducements to truck firmer?, and the consequence is that North Carolina wag-ms, loaded with cabbages, applet, etc., are frequently seen on tHe streets. The space between Cowpem and Clifton is bciDg rapidly filled with nice dwelling houses nnd stores. Land which a few years ago could be bought for a mere song is now worth a great deal. The Cliftun Manufacturing Company has a large store at each Mill, well constructed and comfortable churches nnd school-houses. There arc good boarding houses at both places, and a nice hotel, kept iu excellent style, at the upper MillBoth Mills have post-offices, is there and every convenience in the way of telegraphic and telephonic communication. Spartanburg is within easy reach by rail or private conveyance. Clifton has an excellent firs department, a tine military company, and a population of about 4,CK>C).

Porter, prcsiden'; Seni'orj Carlisle nnd Harris, Hon. II. C. Ilanshtouk, Renjamin Ruiterworth, Lewis McCom is and Col. Brit ton, held in the city to-day, it was definitely decided to locate the new manufacturing town in eastern Tennessee. The lion is at El-zabcthtown, in the Watnugua valley on the Doc rivers:? tion to upwards of 6000 ncres of t ?wn site hinds, it w is also decided to purchase 15,000 acres of iron ore, granite and timber lands in the immediate vicinity, making in all over 20,000 acres, and covering wli it is conceded to he the richest mineral prr<i?n of the valley and in a section in which experts cImiii, oft-r oireful investigation, bcssouior and the highest grades of ftcloin bo manufactured cheaper than in any other part of the United States. The ore lands purchased by the company ore rich in brown Lcmat.te to supplement the fumms cranberry besscmcr steel ores which a-e located directly UUUVf UIC t ("II riiv. Thu delay in making the location, the directors say, was due to the great ca-c exercised in examining at lost thirty sites in Eastern Tennessee alone. The officers of the company have given tbeir personal attention to an examination of each of these sites, ami in reaching the decision as t> the Wataugua valley are thoroughly convinced that no better selection cou'd be made for manufacturing, c?n:merc'al and residence purposes. There is within the lirni's of the All railway lines Doe mountain country, so famous for r^?al wra'th, must pa?s through Elizabethrotf^wd the Watauga valley. In addition to the road already in oporition which connects the company's property with important railroad systems, several new rai'rcals are in course of completion. Heads already gra ted and partly laid will connect direct with the Norfolk ami West rn railroad, the East Tennessee Virgiira nud Georgia railroad, and the Charleston, Cincin[ nati and Chicagi railroad to the coal fields of IligStmc Gap.
