Porter-was appointed to take the necessary steps carry oul rhe objects of lhe meeting The committee is strong one, and gives assurance that something of value will grow out ol the effort Certain il is, that more favora- ble location cannot be found than the immediate neigbborhood of Tuscaoos That region of coun try seems 10 have been designed by nature for exten sye manufacturing operations. It affords suffi ciency of water power to build up half dozen Low els, besides posse ssing all the elements necessary to add to the resources and give strength and stability to a large manufacturing town. Bnumnuus coal of superior quality, sandstone suitable for building purposes, good clay for bricks limestone and every variety of timber found in the south, exist in alum dance and al convenient distances. In addition to these natural advantages, the farming portions of the country and the population highly favorable to such an enterprise.

 Should the present effort result as we feel assured it will, in the concentration of an amount of capita sufficient 10 develope these riches of nature which have been so lavishy scattered around, Tuscaloosa need>be under no apprehension of decay from the re- m1val Of the seat of government, or the temporary wearing out and abandonment of lands which have heretofore helped to swell her exports.

 In North Alabama, three cotton factories are in successful operation; one in Lauderdale, one in Nor gan and one in Madison county. Another. near Athens, is in the course of erection. The Scolsvile Factory in Bibb, and the Factory at Tallapoosa Falls. are doing profitable business. \
