The early establishment of several large facto ries is assuming a most tangible shape. Augusta can only hope to attain any great degree of prosperity by her manufacturing interest, pos sessing as she does so many natural advantages, which, when taken in conjunction with the many induce.- ments which she offers, it will, indeed^, be passing strange, if she does not become the “Lowell of the South.”' Ho additional steps have been-* taken in regard to the building of* the Knoxville road. The Convention for that object will meet next May,, in our city, when it is hoped that the matter may be favorably consumated.. Business is exceedingly dull, and the universal complaint of hard times- is heard on every side. Society has been extremely dull' this season. There have been but. very few marriages, the matrimonial market seeming to be in full sympa thy with the commercial. The event of the season takes place to-morrow evening in the shape of a grand Calico Ball given by the Ladies’ Memorial. Association, for the benefit of the- Monumental fund. It promises to be- a great success, coming as it does immediately after the lenten season.
