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 n1 unib ers as ii g1ht be desired. In ieQtion with this scheme It is ,rpsed h at corninissioners be aipoiltd to g() to Europe, make ar1rantgemen1 Its wvitll intend(ing ni ra1:t. a:nd fully inform them as o the a1,vantages that they may obtaini bv ettlLIn in the South. This agitation on the part of Ueorgia should be a lesson fbr us, AIM teach us also that we must up 111d be doing. South Carolina can not. Perhaps, s a St ate, undertake to purchase .1 line of steamers. to run between this port and Liverpool; but it would be well for the htockhoiders >f the South Carolina and North astern Iiailroads to consider whether it would not be to their nit erest to run a line of European ne:anTh1is in connection with heir roads. Surely our merchants Would1 be willing to pledge their ['reight to the dircct line, at fair rates ;and. with this pledge and the certainty that there could be a perfect: harmony of interest be ween the railroads and steam hips, soeic 1 prtion of-the capital re(uUired could be obtained in Liverpool. It -y, perhiaps, be said that we are advocating a scheme, the (lvantages of which every oue wV ill acknow ledge. but. which can iot be carried out, on account of he small ness of our pecuniary re ~oureces. Of course we know per.. evtiv well thiat, hIad there been m( war. we sh4;uld have had, L>ng :inee, reguliIar dlirect line of steam hips to Europ)je and' we know also hat. had no t the bill gran tinzg a harter to the Bank of South Caro ~ia been vetoed by the Governor, ye sho u1ld have had more capital xvithI whiich to operate; but the :ery dejperate character of our .ase but the .more urgently de innds an apparentdly desperato -emedy.
