| On looking in at Bradford's
foundry, yesterday, we found a portion of the hands busy casting shot
of twelve, twenty-four and thirty-two pounds, and constructing grape
shot of six and twelve pounds. They
were also making railroad chairs, for which they have an order for
twenty thousand from the Little Rock
railroad {Memphis & Little Rock RR}. These were
formerly always obtained from the North.
House fronts of very elegant design are also cast at this
foundry. This is practical
southern independence. |
