We understand thai a number of our enterprising capitalists have associated themselves together for the purpose of forming a company and purchasing the Potomac Mills property, near Shepherds- town, Va. These Mills were celebrated before the war, but have stood idle ever since the outbreak of hostilities. The new Company, alter making all necessary repairs and improvements, intend to en-, gage largely in. the manufacture of flour, lime, and cement, the material for the lat- *er aiiirle being regarded as the finest in the United Slates. We are pleased to hear of the practical development of the1 resources of our surrounding country, j and chronicle with pleasure the spirit ol our citizens in engaging in such enter* pri«es. . ffa^/iinglon Star. The foregoing paragraph, from a late Washington paper, refers to an enter-' prise which will unquestionably be of immense advantage to the interests of our( community. Having been aware for some months past, that a gentleman of this place has been quietly but energeti¬ cally at work perfecting a plan for the perminent improvement of the magnificent water power at the Potomac Mills in this vicinity, we are very happy to have it in our power to coiroburate the above state¬ ment of his success in securing the co¬ operation of a number of enterprising' capitalists, who aie not only public spir¬ ited men of means, but also for the most part, of practical experience in various de¬ partments of operative industry, and who are determined to develop the capabilities of the property to the utmost extent of its capacity. ^ hast week, pome ten or twelve of the s'ock-holders paid a brief t u-mess visit to uur town, and amongst ( hern we were pleaded to e<ethe present efficient and ( popular head of ihe Patent Office Depart- ] ment, the Hon.

A match game ol Uase Boll was played ( between the Virginia Club of Martinsburg , jnd the Potomac Club ol Shepherdstow n, on the grounds of the fi rmer Club, dt M«rtins>burg, on fcatuiuay lasi, '1 he at- tendance of spectators was large, inclu¬ ding many Indies. The following is the 8 co i e of the game, by w hich it will be seen that the ' Virginia" came oil victo¬ rious. The Virginia h^s been in exis¬ tence several months, if not under that name, at least the same material under the names of "Eagle" and .. Berkeley now ..Virginia," whereas the Potomac had not been organized two weeks y*t al 'he lime of the game, which may be of- I e re tl as a palliation of the difference in scores. THE SCORE.

A few congratulations, ail "old time" promenade, and the presence of the "Po¬ tomac" was requested at a Minstrel Con* cert, the proceeds of which are to be de« voted to a good cause. Listening intent¬ ly to the "sober songs" and "banjo so- los" a thought of home, caused another move, when alter a lew hasty farewells, »he old coach was onre more packed, and a start made. With a little vent to our pent up voices and many a jolt on the way, old Shepherdstown was once more hailed with joy but as the still, wee hours of the night were fast approaching . a quiet entrance was made, a last good night exchanged, and a quick step beat toward a welcome couch, when t.rmina- IwlAjmp.
