TH K VUOli ICl-'.SSI VIS SOI TH. Vuets Bhowlng u Vino I'roupeot for the l't-oolf of tills Sec (lon. (Fron) tho ItaUlmora Sim.) Long before the movement from tho N<>rtboru ami Middle States sot in, tho ?Sun repeatedly called attention to tin now field thut since the war was opened nt tito South for industrial emigration from tho Statis \ind from abroad. lt pointed OUt ita vast underlying wealth of eoal and iron oro, of limestone and mnngnnoso, its greet deposits of kaolin mid of copper and gold, to its variety of woods for tho constructive and decora tive jun poses, and its thousands of acres of fertile soil. At thal time only a few cotton factories \v< re in operation, some kaolin deposits worked, and hore und there SOUth ol' Virginia, whore coal nuning had long bo i going on, some feeble attempts mud at mining-princi pally in Tennessee and Alabama-- where ti tow furnaces had been built for tho smelting of iron ore. lt hud bet o demonstrated ovon Iben that cottou fabrics of tho plainer kind could be produced ut considerably less cost than at tho North, and pig iron laid on the bank ready for delivery at $11 per ton. Tho great drawback was the want of ndetpjuto facilities for transpor tation to a market, but not long after wards some enterprising and clear-sight ed mon, looking forward to the future development ol this mineral wealth, took up considerable bodies of land rich in coal and iron ere, and waited until the time should come to utilizo them. The rapid extension of railroads throughout the ?South supplied tho opportunity, and while tho Southern people of tho cotton belt were increasing tho Hin?ber of their faetones in the vicinity of tho plantations that produced tho raw material, Northern and English capitalists were descending upon West \ irginia, Tennessee mid Alabama, and ?'Utting up furnaces, to bo followed by rolling mills, in tho midst of tho iron And coal deposits. Slow us the movement was nt lirst, it has in creased with blich rapidity that great coke and iron furnaces now lino the Chesapeake and ohio Railroad. Chatta nooga and Knoxville have now bi come hives of busy industry, and new towns, destined to rival oitlCS like Pittsburg, liave been founded in Alabama, which have been christened Birmingham and ?Siieiliold- names lamons in langland for the excellence of their manufactures of iron ami steel. Birmingham is now the sent of an active iron industry, lt hus already a number of largo furnaces, and mills for rolling iron and stool aro about to bo erected. Lt contains at this time some 8,000 inhabitants. At Shollield, also, furnaces have boon built, streets laid ont, houses erected, stores opened, and population is hooking in. What is moro important still, chea]) iron is at tracting other industries. One ol' tho great stove works at Troy, doing the largest business of its kind ill the United States, is to bo n moved, or may already have been removed, either to Alabama or Tennessee, other trades and manu factures oro following, notably Clark's works, which supplies a largo par! of the United States with cotton thread. Tho marbles ol Tanm s oo, for w hich Knox ville is tho principal market, aro getting to bo in request, and so many manufac turing enterprises have, been established there that the population has increased from If.,ooo in 1882 to over ?10,000. Chattanooga show.- a similar increase and with it bas como a speculation in building logs on whicli large profits have been rapidly modo, bul which may bc carried too far unless kopi within healthy limits. Other Southern cities oro feeling tho impulse, though in a lesser degree. Lands are bringing better prices. Tho hardwood forests of Tennessee and North Carolina, which Jess than two years ugo could have boon bought at from sixty emits to a dollar and a quar ter, an acre have been purchased by capi talists, who aro gobing ready tosend the limber to the Eastern markets. Great Btrotchcs of pine land farther south, within easy distance O? rail or water car riage, have also bein brought up. All . these facts go to show' that thc South has entered upon a now ora of indu- trial activity never know n bet?re, and that in tho course pf a few years, she is destined tb become one of the most prosperous Sections of the Union.
