Another powder Mill.
--Another enterprise, we learn, is on foot, to erect an extensive powder mill on the banks of the St. Catharine, a few miles from Natchez. A capitalist of large wealth, honored name and indomitable energy, has been found, who will forthwith put the establishment in movement; and although it will cost money to establish it, it cannot fail to make tenfold returns to such a patriotic home enterprise. It is ascertained that we have two or three old powder-makers in our population; at least twelve thousand pounds of nitre are at our command, and the outlet swamps of the St. Catharine, Second Creek and Homochitto have inexhaustible supplies of willow, from which wood the charcoal for powder is made.--Natchez Free Trader.
