We are glad to learn that the citizens of Tuscaloosa county are moving on the sub ject of manufactures. The last Monitor states that stocks 10 the amount of $40,000 has already been subscribed, and that two gentlemen have agreed to erect all the necessary buildings, and take their pay in stock, which will increase the amount to $60,O00.

 We look upon this movement in Tosca- loosa as the most important event that has lalely transpiredin in our State. and shall mark it's progress with no smal interest. We think we see in it the germ of degree of prosperity such as neither Alabama, norsany State South, has hitherto witnessed. We have had line upon line and precept upon orecept on the advantages of manufacturing, till the propriely, if not necessity, of the step is generally admitted. All that is now wanting is practical illustration of the truth established by argument. This we think Tuscaloosa will shortly afford. She has fine water privileges, extensive beds of coal, rich mines of iron ore, and, better still, men of capital and enterprlse-all the re- quisites, in fine, for becoming great man. ufacturing town.- Pickens Republican. {
