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.

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.
