| Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 23, 1861 |

| It is truly refreshing to see how many
factories are going up. In a week another large powder mill will open
within a few miles of Raleigh. The paper mills here are arranging to do a much greater work. The
Raleigh & Gaston Railroad is
erecting an immense shop here, to cost several hundred thousand
dollars. {The Confederate Locomotive Shop took
over the old shop.} Thus while our brave boys on the field of
strife are effecting our political independence, those at home are
securing what is scarcely less desirable, our commercial and financial
disenthralment. |
