TMN- GRESSIVE S(UTH. Facts Showing a ~Fine Prospect for the People of this Section. (From the Batinoie Sun.) Long before the movement from the p Northern and Middle States set in, the Sun repeatedly called attention to the new field that since the war was opened at the South for industrial emigration from the States and from abroad. It pointed out its vast underlying wealth of coal and iron ore, of limestone and manganese, its great deposits of kaolin and of copper and gold, to its variety of woods for the construetive and decora tive purposes, and its thousands of acres of fertile soil. At that time only a few cotton factories were in overation, some' kaoliri deposits worked, ~and here and there south of Virginia, where coal mining had long been going on, some feeble aempts made at mining-princi pally in Tenntsee and Alabama-where a few furnace 'lad been built for the smelting of iron ore. It had been demonstrated even then i that cotton fabrics of the plainer kind could be prodifoed at considerably less cost than at the North, and pig iron laid I on the bank 'ready for delivery at $11 Won. - Theagreat drawback was the I 'tazt of adegide-lacilities for transpor- d a in~k~et but not long after adsoine ' 'rising and clear-sight ekii '~' Io orward to the future r deelop-ena minaeralwealth, took upron*siderabielodies of land rich in ,"1zndtiron 6rand waited until the timeshould edmeto utilize them. The rapkextensioing railroads throughout the South supplied the opportunity, and while the Southern people of the cotton beltwere increasing the number of their factories in the vicinity of the plantations that produced the raw material, Northern and English capitalists were descending upon West Vsjinia, Tennessee and Alabama, and uitting up furnaces, to be followed by rolling mils, in the midst of the iron and coal deposits. Slow as the movemeit was at tirst, it has in creased with inch rapidity that great coke and ~iron furnaces now line the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. Chatta Scga and Knoxville have now become hives of busy industry, and new towns, 1 destined to rival cities Uke Pittsburg, have been founded in Alabama, which have been christened Birmingham and Sheffield-names famous in England for i the excellence of their manufactures of iron and steel. Birmingham is now the seat of an active iron industry. It has already a number of large furnaces, and mils for rolling iron and steel are about t' be eieted. It contains at this time some 8,000 inhabitants. At Sheflield, also, furnaces have been built, streets laid out, houses erected, stores opened, andpopulation is.flocking in. What is inore important still, cheap iron is at tractiig other industries.' *One of the gteelt soe: works -sit Troy, dbng the larest buiness of its kind in the nitcd States, is to bereiemoved, or may already have-bden removed, either -to Alabama or Tennessee.
