The Potomac Mills.

We understand thai a number of our

enterprising capitalists have associatedthemselves together for the purpose offorming a company and purchasing thePotomac Mills property, near Shepherds-town, Va. These Mills were celebratedbefore the war, but have stood idle ever

since the outbreak of hostilities. Thenew Company, alter making all necessaryrepairs and improvements, intend to en-,

gage largely in. the manufacture of flour,lime, and cement, the material for the lat-*er aiiirle being regarded as the finest inthe United Slates. We are pleased to

hear of the practical development of the1resources of our surrounding country, jand chronicle with pleasure the spirit olour citizens in engaging in such enter*

pri«es.. ffa^/iinglon Star.The foregoing paragraph, from a

late Washington paper, refers to an enter-'

prise which will unquestionably be ofimmense advantage to the interests of our(community. Having been aware forsome months past, that a gentleman ofthis place has been quietly but energeti¬cally at work perfecting a plan for the

perminent improvement of the magnificentwater power at the Potomac Mills in this

vicinity, we are very happy to have it inour power to coiroburate the above state¬

ment of his success in securing the co¬

operation of a number of enterprising'capitalists, who aie not only public spir¬ited men of means, but also for the most

part, of practical experience in various de¬

partments of operative industry, and who

are determined to develop the capabilitiesof the property to the utmost extent of its

capacity.^
