Visit to Southern Porcelain; making all household wants

A Pleasant Trip.

We spent yesterday very pleasantly visiting the Bath Paper Mill, and the works of the Southern Porcelain Manufacturing Company.

The Bath Mill is being pressed forward to completion as rapidly as possible, under existing circumstances, by Mr. W. R. Huse, the courteous and untiring agent, and will, when completed, be the largest and best arranged Paper Mill in the Confederacy. Mr. Huse has had many difficul­ties to contend against in putting forward the work thus far, which nothing but indomitable will and perseverance could have overcome, nearly completed, and we hope soon to have the pleasure of announcing it in successful operation.

The Porcelain works are now under a new regime, Col. Bullock as President, and our friend H. W. Kimball, Esq.; late of the Express Company, Superintendent — names that are a sure guarantee for energy and dash in all matters of business. These were the only works of the kind in the Confedera­cy at the commencement of the war, and have been of great benefit to the country, supplying an indispensable want.

They are manufacturing a good article of Kaolin ware, adapted to all house pitchers, bowls, plates, cups and saucers, etc., and are also making excellent fire brick. Their wares are kept for sale next door to our office, and we advise those in want to call and examine them.

After spending a pleasant hour or so at the Porcelain Works, and imbibing some very fine "spring water," we returned home, much refreshed by the trip, the agreability of which was greatly enhanced by the hospitality of our old and esteemed friend Rickman, formerly of the South Carolina Railroad.
