The removal of our printing office has
to far deranged its affairs as to render an apo
logy necessary for our meagre columns to-day.
We shall have all right for our next.
?< Direct Trade"? The Macon Conven
tion*
As this body will aoou meet to take some step
or recommend some plan in relation to the great
movement of Direct Trade, it may uot be amis#
to give the outliuea of the wholo subject, and
offer a fotr suggostioua for the reflection ol our
Southern friends.
The object to be attained i# a dircct commu
nication between the continent ol Luropo aiul
the southern ports iu rolation to trade geno- ;
rally. It must be borue constantly in mind,
that an equal, just, uud direct exchange com
mercially is the j;reut consideration. This will '
embrace uot oniy tha cotton interest, but the :
rice, tobacco, vool, cotton yarns, wool in n
rough stage of manufacture; also, the lumber
interest, mercantile and shipping, the invest- j
inent of money in our internal improvements, !
&c., &c.
It has been proposed to concentrate the cot- |
ton at some one point; but this is not advisable, I
as it would create at once such local difficulties
as would ruin the whole undertaking. Let
each State and seaport have a fair chance; and
let those who have the moat energy and afford
the best facilities reap their due reward. |
There is nothing like healthy competition. It
has been proposed, also, conecntrate the
ootton abroad. This is also futile, for the same
reasons. Let Liverpool keep that portion of
the trade necessary to supply her own manufac- j
turers; and let that portiou consumed on the
continent go direct tc the continent?in other
wohiflj establish a continental depot, and if
necessary, two.
It has been proposed (to obviate one of the
difficulties) to form an extensive company and
let the planters combine to throw their cotton
into the several southern ports according to the
oapacity of each, and to make the manufacturers
seek our shores to purchase. This plan is very
good, except in one of its features, and that a
very important one?that is, the transferring the
ownership here from the planters or their agents to ,
a foreign purchaser. It will be seen at a glance i
that this would make a transferable monopoly:
for the crops, .passing into the hands of these
agents, would of cour30 be subject to their di
rection, and place the consumers abroad perfectly
at the mercy of speculators, destroying their
faith and confidence in tho planter. The result
would be worse than the present state of things.
Besides this, a direct importation of merchandise
from Europe is desired, instead of buying in j
New York. Now, if this cotton should be sold j
in our own ports, the means of transportation would I
be at the choice of foreigners, and therefore ,
prevent an exchange of commodities, which is the J
object and soul of trade, and which cannot be j
done without mutual facilities and confidence.
We must by all means so arrange our trade j
as to enable vessels to sail from Europe dircct
as well as to Europe dircct. This wo think is
clear. And iu thus transferring the principle of ;
open trade and dircct intercourse upon our great j
staple of cotton as a basis, what becomes of our
rice, tobacco, wool, cotton yarns, lumber, ship- j
ping, &c. ? And shall we buy our groceries,
hardware, and merchandise, generally at the !
North ? , Thero is also involvied in this consid
eration a mighty interest, and one that will, 1
before many years, have a decidiug influence
upon the commerce of the northern and southern '
continents of America. This interest will re
ceive its first stimulus from the building up iu
the gulf of Mexico a shipping interest exclusively i
for the gulf. By reference to tho map it will
be seen that the Statos bordering on the gulf of
Mexico and the resonrces they command will
well sustain a shipping interest designed cxclu- j
sively for the gulf. By connecting the gulf
with the Atlantic by means of railways?say
from Cedar Key to Savuuuah or Charleston?you
obtain completely and fully what is sought for in ,
the acquisition of Cuba, and, we sincerely be- j
lieve, on better terms and under safer circum- i
stances.
This connexion would at once build up a gulf
squadron, for it is well known that the approach
from the Atlantic to tho gulf is expensive, dila
tory and dangerous, especially for eail-vessels.
And further, that after they have entered the
gulf, the largest steamers and sail-vessels
(and which are necessary for Atlantic naviga
tion) find it difficult to enter our harbors. This ;
has long been one of the greatest obstacles to the
commercial independence of the gulf. Now, a me- 1
dium of communication across Florida would ob
viate all this, for the largest Atlantic steamers
and ships could land from Europe at the Atlan
tic depot, and receive the cargoes from the gulf,
brought together at some point on the gulf,
(say Cedar Key,) and be transported across by
railway. A line of propellers, steamers, or
sail-vessels, or even steamboats, could ply along
the whole gulf coast, from Chagres to the
Florida depot. These vessels could be built
exclusively for the gulf trade, and be made
capable of entering any of the Southern ports.
The Mexican trade, the South American States
of New Grenada, Venezuela, Guiana, with the
river Amazon, the Mississippi, and, more im
portant, .the California trade, could be easily
and successfully changed so as to pass through
this line. Over the isthmus and through the
gulf, via Florida, by railway, is the natural and
will be the eventual course of the California and
India trade. The lines of steamers from New
York to tho isthmus would be broken up, and
the Sonth have the complete oontrol of this
great commeroe. And why should she not
have it ? Whatpeouliar right has New York and
Boston to monopolize, through the waters at the
very foot of the South, ber natural rights?
It is also knovn thit vessels with inward and
outward cargoes are often delayed, from the
uncertainty of the grinds, and other causes,
in and about tho gulf. This would also bo
obviated by the establishment of a gulf ship
ping internt. It is idle to speak of the
collateral interests involved, and the stimulus
to labor, capital, and every kind of enterprise
that would enure to the Southern States. Those
mighty interests, these palpable and direct re
sults, will be the fruits of tho course of Direct
Trade, if succeeRful; and it therefore becomes (
a grave matter of consideration whether, merely
ataple of the South, we ?houldJ?j?
we aimed at. Tlie So #(.ttttdron?her
shipping interest?-her^g? accommodate
rice, tobacco, uterchange of
her own merchant-rbythe^WQ^ ^
COmTtolUbeBdWouo by concentrating and selling
Mr be g^at Btaple'and basis of all this trade
cotton. We would respectfully suggest that by
accepting the part of the plan proposed which
forms a "Planter's;combined Company there,
to throw large quantities of Southern pro uce
for this purpose into the respective Southern
ports, and bv accepting the proposition made by
Holland to form an extensive " tra'hng com
pany with the Southern States of North Ame
rica," and letting that company act as your
friends, under your directions and exclusive y
| for your interest, a perfect and successtu
| effort would at once be made. Let llollan.
furnish the money, the South cotton, bet ie j
j Southern planters control their produce, iay
in(r it consigned through the agency of their (
friends abroad, either to Antwerp, Rotterdam,
Havre, Bremen, Hamburg, or Amsterdam.
This would ensure Buccess: for, under the pre
sent regulations of trade, consignments can be
; made in any part of the world by a city en
! tirely remote. The great object lor the South
1 to attain is the moneyed alliance of llollan ,
and then, through her commercial in? uenoe,
j jrcograjihical position, credit and extended co
rcspondence, to distribute her product a, may be |
be*/, receiving from every part ol the world our
merchandise in exchange. The alliance shou c
be commercial as well as moneyed?based upon
good faith and mutual confidence.
The Stubes of North Carolina, South Caro
lina Virgin!**, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennes
see,' Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Louisiana
have gone into this movement, and the results,
if the thing is properly managed, will be of the
greatest importance, and of the happiest char
acter to the South and Southwest. By adopting
the plan proposed above, an immediate beginning
could be made, and it could progress either
gradually or rapidly; and a beginning is of the
utmost importance. A few hundred thousand
! bales of cotton, with rice, lumber, wool, and
cotton yarns, coahl be shipped this full, and, in
the meantime, the final arrangements for a more
general and determined movement could be
made. We have heard this matter fully dis
cussed by persons of intelligence and informa- I
tion in f'tvor of Direct Trade and against it; |
and'the opinion of all is, that such an organi- j
zation would succeed.
| For ourselves, we recommend it from an <tar
1 nest desire for the success of the cause, and
| fr0m a sincere conviction that it is the best
i plan; for it is the blending of different plans
in their best parts, the promoting of every in
terest, aud is caudid, just, and fair to all. And
another great consideration at this time is this:
that this plan embraces the views and opinions
of the best merchants of Europe ; has been the ,
subject of much negotiation and discussion for |
nearly a year under the most favorable circum
stances; and has been agreed upon in Europe
by our friends there, and will, if accepted by the ]
South, go into immediate operation. W hile, if the
matter is postponed, a year or two years will
I be lost in talking and arranging, in the mean
i while giving the planters time to get cool, or
1 be approached from other quarters and led
astray. It has always been so. We would,
therefore, say, that that which it to be done,
pbould be done quickly. Strike while the iron
is hot and use those means you have, and make
a commencement, leaving the extension of your
plan to go on in the meanwhile. The foundation \
is always laid before the house is built; there-!
fore lay the foundation of your trade in im
mediate action by actual and direct consign
ments to your friends abroad, and in the mean
while push on your advantages until the whole
work is completed.
We have never yet made an error in the
publication of any fact of interest, though it has !
often been our fortune to give publicity to such
items ?? in advance of all contemporaries," as
the phrase runs. There has scarcely been an
appointment of any consequence for many
months, respecting which wo have not given the
1 first intimations. In almost all such cases these
ficts have been transmitted abroad by telegraph
without credit, although the morning papers ol
this city receivc due credit for like information
whenever derived from their columns.
Nkvv Abciibishop or Baltimore. We learn
that the most reverend Dr. Kcndrick, of Phila
delphia, lias been transferred to the Archiepis
copal See of Baltimore, Md., and yesterday
entered upon the duties of his new office, to
which he was most cordially welcomed, aud a
Te drum is to be sung in the Cathedral to-mor
row in thanksgiving for so acceptable an ap
pointment, and to express joy on the occasion
of his arrival. _
Cultdhi or tick Tka Plant?If Mr. Junius
Smith of South Carolina succeeds in his exper
iments he will merit and receivc the gratitude
of his country. It is said that he continues to
pursue with zeal and success the cultivation of
the tea plant in that State. lie remarks in n
recent letter, that the nuts which he has just re
ceived from China, of this year's growth, are in
I sound condition, and that a small quantity of
them will be spared for those desirous of plant
ing. "I am aware," says he, "that farmers,
as well as others, arc apt to be impatient, and
grudgo the long time they must wait for the
latter harvest. Many of them, doubtless, with
me, can remember when there was not a bale
of cotton growing in the United States, nor a
steamboat floating upon the ocean."
A Mistake of Ours.:?A lady has to-day
called upon us to say that the gentleman who
stares at the ladies at market is not good-look
ing. The man who puffs cigar-smoke in peo
ples' faces was on duty this morning, with a
| shocking long-nine between his teeth.
Maoamr Cklrstb.?This distinguished dan

lined to appear at the Broadway Theatre, in
New York, on Monday evening next We i'nar
?be is pane.

New Boot and Shoe Stohk. -We would call
the at tentiou of our reader* to the new and beau
tiful Shoe Store just fitted up by Mr. J. M.
Johnson, iu one of Duvall & Bro.'s new and
elegant store-rooms, Pennsylvania avenue, be
tween 4J and tith streets, where can be Been
some of the finest specimens of mechanism, in
his line, that we have looked upon for many a
day. Mr. J. is a thorough-going business man,
and he seems to have spared no trouble or ex
pense iu fitting up his store in such a manner
as to render it one of the most fashionable places
of business in the city, lie has also procured
the services of Mr. H. E. Marsklas, one of the
best and most skillful cutters and fitters in the
country, to whose management the affairs of the
establishment will be entrusted. Call in, ladies
and gentlemen, and judge for yourselves.
Tub Military Asylum.?We see it stated
that the commissioners have selected as a site
for the Military Asylum, which has been con
firmed by the President, the place north of
Washington, lately owned by John A. Smith,
esq., and containing about one hundred und
fifty acres. The price paid for it is $4U,000.
Letter from Hon. Uko. M. Dallas.?The
Ualveston Atu'jr, of the 23d ult., contains a let
ter from ex-Vice-President Dallas, dated 25th
July last, to Hon. Quy M. Bryan, Texas, with
what appears to be an admission of the failure
of the compromise measures, and a proposition
to decide the slavery question, once for all, by
an amendment of the constitution.
Friendly Suggestion.?A writer in the Phil
adelphia Sun asks to be permitted " to suggest
to the United States authorities, that the Penn
sylvania Society of Abolition fanatics is now
holding a convention at West Chester; and
that, if Messrs. Kline, Cadwalader and Ingram
were sent there to note their sayings, with a
sufficient 'military force' in reserve, a large
and valuable addition might be made to the in
teresting company now in Moyamensing wait
ing to be hung !! I"
Signor Blitz.?Vast multitudes attend the
performances of this remarkable man. Yester
day about four hundred scholars of the public
schools, tho orphans of the Romau Catholic
Asylum, (by invitation,) and others, were pre
sent. This is the last day. He exhibits iu the
afternoon and evening. Ho has not only enter
tained the Orphan's schools of the city gratui
tously, but has to-day divided $-45 among the
two schools and the Ladies' Union Benevolent
Society. He has a kind, good heart, has Siguor
Blitz.
JfeOF It will be seen by a notice iu another
column that a mounted volunteer company is
about to be formed in this city.
Lawyers Rising!?The Penyisylvanian says
that S. E. French, esq., of Juniata, is not only
a good lawyer, but an excellent editor. So is
Col. Forney.
The Military Spirit.?South Carolina has
for many months given earnest attention to the
preparation of her military forces, and a suc
J cession of encampments have been made with
great gravity. The Columbia South Carolinian
of the 8th 6ays:
"The Fourth Brigade held their encampment
near Society Hill last week. His excellency
Governor Means, Generals Ilarllee and Blakony
were present, and drilled the camp in strictly
military style the whole week?indcod the sen
tinels' challenge, thepatrole call, and the guard
house exercises forcibly reminded us of the war
like spirit of the times, and made us reflect upon
I the probabilities of these mimic exercises being
( changed to stern realities, when, in the place of
blank powder cartridges being fired at intruders,
leaden messengers would lacerate und dostroy
the nightly visiter." .
It is unkind thus to frighten the rest of us;
and if South Carolina don't stop it we shall have
to let her niggers move off toward Symmes'a
Hole!
Revolution in Northern Mexico. The
Intelligenc.tr of this morning says:
" 1 he first accounts of the insurrection that
has broken out in the Mexican States on our
border led to the belief that many American cit
izens had taken an active part in it, aud even
that bodies of nieu were organizing within our
?units for that purpose. Under these circum
stances, as we learn, it was deemed prudent to
direct our military commanders on that frontier
to exert themselves to prevent any invasion by
"ur citizens of the soil of a friendly Republic.
But, from more recent intelligence, it would
seem that this precaution, however proper, was
unnecessary, as it appears that very few Amer
ican citizens took part in the insurrection, and
that it was planned and conducted almost ex
clusively by citizens of Mexico."
Vet the Union is asking why tho President's
proclamation lias not been issued with reference
to this movement? And it even suggests that
it is because poor, distracted, helpless Mexico
has no such friends as France and England to
guaranty her territories to her! Shame on the
Union for such uncharitableness!
Georgia.?The following, we believe, will
compose the delegation from this State:
First district.?Joseph W. Jackson, Southern
Rights.

Boston, October 9.?Tbe Whigs of Norfolk
county met in convention at Dedliam, yester
day, and nominated Marshal 1'. Wilder, Lysan
der Kichurds, and William H. Carey as candi
dates for the State Senate; and resolved that
" the brilliunt success of the National Adminis
tration is mainly owing to the matchless talents,
the unflinching courage, the unselfish patriot
ism, the sound and far-seeing wisdom, and un
equalled statesmanship of the Secretary of
State ; and that in exalting his name above the
name of any other living statesman, we do
wrong to no one, and that in recommending
Daniel Webster, as wo most earnestly do, to
the Whigs of the whole Union, as the most suit
able man to bo our next Tresident, we are only
asking them to look to the best interests of
that Union?to its preservation and its pros
perity." The convention was one of the largest
ever assembled.

BETTER THAW GOLD!
Portsmouth, July 9,1861.
Mb. J. E. Bouun?Dear Sir: 1 feel it a duty to make
known the benefit I have derived from Dr. Hampton's
J LIABLE TINCTURE. For a number of ars I
hu cred trom disease, but to a greater degree for the last
iree j ears. One of the forms of my disease was dygpep.
f; 'n,thiM dreadfuI nialady I suffered to such an ex
tent that life was really a burden. The attack of it on
me was different to that on any other person of whom I
have heard; at times it was like the palpitation of tho
heart; there was a constant thumping and beating with
out intermissiou about the region of my heart, chest and
stomach; some of tho attacks would last for weeks' inv
stoma-h was much distended, with constant pain, great
weakness, and constipation of tho bowels. 1 could not
^ tl!" ?l08t Khnple food without pain. I also suffered
iii7h ? ?f tho killn"yg' witli constant pain
i ?*! 'i P?,ulJ Wtt,k "U'y with great difficulty,
fii i"1'1") t"l tl1" m0Bt celebrated patent medicines
of the day, but found no relief. 1 had also the best n,,dl

?h !.. i 1 .? 1 t?HV<3 ul' almost in despair, and
thought my disease certainly incurable.

my rnenUs, until my *>? purchased a low lwttles anil

??!?? 'flW effect on me; my confidence increased, and
after taking three bottles, my dyspepsia, or disease of the
stomach, was nearly if not entirely cured. 1 now feel
myself a new wan, and in better health than for years.
I am certain the cure in my case was made by this Uamtv
Urns Vegetable.Tincture alone. Since my cure 1 ha?
recommended the tincture to a number of niy friends
who have also been relieved by it. Some of the cures
have been as rapid and equally wonderful as mine
1 present my respects to Messrs. Mortimer A Mowbray,
the proprietors of this valuable medicine, and say to them
its value is above price; and from my cure, and what 1
have ttfeu ot its effects ou others, I shall ever feel it my
duty to recommend it to the suffering. 1 have no doubt
many valuable lives will be prolonged by its use I hone
the afflicted will cast aside their pnyudices and give it a
trial. Yours most respectfully, (Signed)
