    The Daily Dispatch: August 12, 1863.

    Military notice.

    To Regimental, Battalion and Company Commanders, and others, other of the Regular or Militia Service — The subscriber, being regularly taught and having been engaged successfully in teaching Drum Corps, would undertake the instruction of boys, provided twenty or more boys can he recurred. His mode of teaching is perfectly correct and can, in a comparatively short time, prepare boys to perform camp duty, learning them all the necessary calls, boats, etc., for the field camp. He can be seen at the corner of 10th and Main streets, up stairs. Also, several good Drums for sale.

    James Wright.

    DAILY CONSTITUTIONALIST [AUGUSTA, GA], September 24, 1861, p. 3, c. 3
    From the Columbus ( Ga. ) Sun.
    Carter Factory Building .
    An attache of our office paid a hurried visit to this building a day or two since, and found it converted into a grand industrial shop.
    In the basement is located the sword manufactory of Mr. A. H. DeWitt, where swords, without an iota of Yankee ingenuity, are completed.
    On the first floor Mr. A. P. Brown, sr., is located with his variety shop. He exhibited specimens of shuttle manufactured entirely by himself and workmen, which are equal to any United States shuttle. They are smooth, even, and run better, we learn, than those purchased in the United States . Mr. Brown has devised and built the entire machinery for this line of business, and it works like a charm. We notice many other articles of his manufacture which should insure him large cash orders.
    On the next or second floor is located an oil cloth manufactory owned by Messrs. Brands & Korner, who have also in successful operation a drum and fife manufactory. Of their cloth we are not prepared to speak advisedly. In due time we shall give our thousands of readers the facts in the case.
    On the third floor we found our friend Torrey with an army of men, women and children busily engaged in making bale rope, inferior to none.
    On the next floor is located Mr. Halimon’s sword manufactory, where blades of the true metal are constructed.
    The fifth and sixth stories are occupied by parties in other branches of industry; but the bell striking twelve, our prying attache was fain to clear the way for the operatives in hunt of their dinners.
    This is barely a moiety of the industrial shops which Secession has given birth to in our city, and we confidently predict their continuance until every pound of water flowing along the noble old Chattahoochee shall have been called into requisition. More cotton and woolen mills are wanted, and the machinery can be had here for them.

    MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL [MEMPHIS, TN], October 1, 1861, p. 3, c. 2
    Fire on Monday Night.—At half past twelve o'clock on Saturday night a fire, the cause of which is unknown, broke out in the picture-frame and mathematical instrument store of M. A. Tiench, on Washington street, between Front Row and Main street. Mr. Tiench had just finished about eight hundred brass "sights" for rifled cannon, all of which, together with his stock of instruments, pictures, frames, etc., were lost. A barber's shop kept by the negro, Frank; Solomon Crook's drum manufactory, at the corner of Front Row; Reate & Burr's clothing store, Cheralli's saloon, and John Shelby's provision store, with nearly all their contents, were consumed. Mr. Levy, whose store was near the fire, is reported to have had $3,800 taken from his safe, from which he was removing the articles it contained. Mrs. Messenger was saved from a blazing house by the window. Most of the walls of the buildings, which were old, fell in. There was little insurance except one sum of $[blank]0,000 in a Louisville office. The whole loss was about $40,000.
