Chattanooga, Tens., July 15.
Chattanooga ns a Manufacturing Town—Extensive
Tannery—Foundries—Scurciiy of Pig Iron—
Casting Rifted Ordnance—Troops en route for
I irgima—Dnuondfor the Charleston Mercury—
The Spirit in Chattooga, etc, etc.
During an unexpected stay of a few days in
this city. 1 have devoted some attention, by sev
eral visits, to thevarious manufacturing establish
ments in and around the place. As a point favor
able for sundry manufacturing enterprises, few
places possesses greater advantage than Chatta
nooga.
Your readers will be gratified, doubtless, to
learujthat there is in the vicinity of this town one
of tho largest tanneries in the South. Ii is now
in active operation, and turning out from StHIO to
10,001) sides ot well taund leather everv lour
months, giving an aggregate of 30,000 sides of
leather per annum. A New Orleans firm purchased
here, a few days since, $20.1-00 worth of lent her
for their shoe making establishment, and we were
informed that more than $30,000 worth ot stock
was then in the yard, ready for market. The tan
IIpry i« nnw othcJ by Col. li. f! Tnrbiti.ci'Xftiili
viile, and Col. Sam Tate, President ofthe M. and
C. Railroad. It is the design of the new firm to
go largely into the manufacture of shoes, at this
point at an early period.
'ihe advantage of Chattooga over other places
for the tanning business are numerous. The
abundance of the very best quality of tan hark,
and Ht the lowest prices; the facilities for pr- cu
ring hides, of every variety, and being located in
the centre of our great Southern market, aro some
of the advantages. It is needless to say that the
owners of this Chattanooga Tannery are receiving
large dividends upon their investment. Two
hundred thousand dollars invested by capitalists
in additional tanneries at this place must yeld
handsome profits. There is ample room here for
five or six similar establishments. Let our mon
eyed men look to it, and that without delay. Our
citizens and soldiers must have shoes, ami there
is every means for making leather, aud every in
ducement to ingago in both the tanning of leather
and the manufacture of shoes.
The great scarcity of pig iron at the South, at
this time, will certainly induce those competent
to the work to look towards this point. \5'e vi-i ;

ago. which we regretted to find entirely idle

| concerns in the South. Any competent gentle
man could, with about $5(1,000, engage in tbe im
portant enterprise of converting tiie non ore, ot
which there is here an abundance, and of the rich-
j est qualify, into the best quality of pig iron, lie
j would find coal, ore and machinery ail ready for
| active operation within a few w eek's repairs. The
| iron foundry of Messrs. Webster &: Mann, at this
place, is worthy of attention. We were very po
litely shown through the extensive establishment
by Mr. Webster, who is a gentleman of large ex-
perienre in his profession. We were shown a
casting (a large wheel for the new- powder mill
bring erected by one of the most enterprising men
general impression in
the city to night is, that the sudden dis-
appeatance of troops to-day from the oth
er side of the river is in consequence of
a desiie so attend a hig race about to come
off.”
Bennett told the truth for once in his
life. There was a “hig race,” and from
the manner in which the Federalists exe
cuted the “ double quick” on that occa
sion, they show a perfection of training
w hich reflects great credit upon the skill
of their officers. The Confederates need
not expect to do much execution after
the Federalists once start to retreat; a mus
ket hall would hardly overtake them.
Shot feun and Rifle Regiment.—Col.
B. A. Thornton has returned from Rich

the organization of a regiment to be united

Wise in North Western Virginia. The

gun or common rifle, and will be enlisted
for the term of twelve months. Accus
tomed to the use of such arms almost from

hands of our young men.
We trust there will be no delay in the
formation of the regiment.

any .State, to bayonet them imo a love for our
! Union, or sabre them into brothel hood.
I 2d. Resolved, That our Govcrment was based
j upon tin- cardinal principle “that all governments
derive their just powers from the consent of the
I governed,” as proclaimed by Thomas Jefferson,
| the great Apostle of Democracy, a principle
j sacredly held and maintained by every eminent
i statesman and jurist iu our land, from the time of
i the Declaration of Independence nntil the acces
sion of the present Administration to power.
Resolved, That we believe that “War is final
and eternal disunion.” as declared by the late
lamented Douglas; that a continuance of the
present war must surely eventuate in a perpetual
separation and division of our once happy and
gioricus Union.
Richmond, Va , July 26th.—Hon. Rob't.Toombs
has resigned as Secretdry of State, and Hon. R.
II. T- Hunter has beaa appointed la bia plaso.
sippt- About 200 Texans passed here yesterday.
More than 40,000 soldiers have passed through
this city since the movement of troops commence-
ed, I am informed. There is throughout tbe coun
try such a stir and bustle among the people as
was never witnessed before.
The eagerness of tbe people for news—“the
latest news from tbe scat of war,” is tbe cry. At
every station, on any road yon may pass, squads
of from 10 to 20 men m*y be seen standing round
while one reads the last piper, procured of some
newsboy or passenger The Charleston Mer
cury is iu great demand on the Georgia, Macon
and Western and W. & A. Railroads. Hundreds
of copies are sold, but there is seldom enough to
supply the public want. At this place a brisk
business is done twice a day. Citizens and sol
diers, arriving here from the South and West, ask
at once tor news, and eagerly devour the Mercury
when they can procure it.
Out of about 50l) voters in this city, only 52
were for “no separation so you see that the
Southern spirit is pretty high here. I wish that
I were warranted in saying as mnch of every oth
er town and county in this end of the State.* We
have strong ticpes of an early reaction here, and
that Tennessee will be a unit for resistance to the
bitter end. More anon. HOPE. -
Among tbe most rampant War journals snd sav
age talking enemies of the south for disloyalty to
the union and Federal laws, is the Boston Liber
ator which has for its motto, at the bead of its
columns, the following words: ‘the United States
Constitution is a covenant with Death and aq A-
greeaent with Hall”
FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, July 26—Tbe Second Ohio Regi
ment have delivered up their arms and gone home.
Several other regiments have also goue home.
Fifteen thousand Confederates are at Fail fix,
mounting seige guns. Seveial officers, as a re
ward lor their courage, have been authorized to
taise regiments.
New regiments are being constantly accepted
in tbe House, McClernanU, of Illinois, said the
House should make provision for further resources,
or else the Governmeut's credit would fail.
Wright said it bad failed already.
In tUe House, tbe Lbimniittee on direct tax
meets with violent opposition.
Russell, of tbe London Tunes, says he never in
his lite saw such fighting as yesterday. F’our
hours, be says; both armies stood up to a kind ot
conflict, which, for vigor, endurance, and perti
nacity, was unequalled. .Special.
Richmond. July 26.—Gov. Jackson, of Missonri,
and Gen. Atkinson have arrived here.
Gov. Jackson says that there are one hundred
thousaud troops ready if they could obtain arms.
Afraid to Fight.—We copy the following
from the New York Times ol Wednesday :
A Captain aud a Lieutenant, connected with
that portion of the Sickle’s Brigade now stationed
in East New York, on Saturday morning last went
outside the camp to settle a difficulty between
them according to the dueling code. Arriving at
tbe ground, their intentions failed them, and tbe
whole matter resulted in a promiscuous fist fight
between the principals and their friends.
