Direct Trade with Europe.
The State of Georgia is diret
ing at teiti-Dn to the important
question of direct trade., ar.d the
State journals are discussing the
best means of securing; a line of
-t eaIm(rs to run bet w,een Liverpool
and Savannah.
An Atlanta paper suggests that
the State purchase :i line of steam
ers to run between Brunswick and
Europe. 1alcing trips regularly
once or twice a month, whether
they have a full cargo or not. The
object of this is, not only to accus
tomI merchants to a regular and
relable line, but to open- up t11o
trale. and give the means of in
t rodueing eimn.gaIts (irect. In such

South Carolina can not. Perhaps,
s a St ate, undertake to purchase

this port and Liverpool; but it
would be well for the htockhoiders
>f the South Carolina and North

whether it would not be to their
nit erest to run a line of European
ne:anTh1is in connection with
