Besides tbo largo local trndo wliich capcoially
belongs to Charlcflton, and which will always in
Buro her a fnir business, tbore aro largo Suctions
of country most favorably disposed to tho port of
Charleston, and ovorytbing boing equal, would
givo a preforonco to ihia port. But IbcBO Humor
ous communities nro oo advantagoounly situatod
as to other ports, that they havo acboico of routes
to tbo groat commercial contres ; and nB, in all
business matters, economy and dinpatch aro eon
Hidorntions of primary couscquonce, ?o, in this,
tbo country doalor and the farmor acana cloaoly?
firfit, the tariff of rates; thon tho longth of timo
takon for tho movement of his freight ; and last,
though not loast, what aro tho fucilitios offered. If
over ono lino hia produce broaks bulk at ovory
rail termini, is BubjocL to forwarding charges nnd
com minimum, and delayed in transit, bo avoids
this lino and goon to somootbor, wbcro thcao dis
advantages aro avoided.
"Through rates," then, aro tbo result of compe
tition, and are in tho intorosts of shippors. Dy
this means goods in transit aro carried cheaply
tad cxpeditioualy. Thus wo havo "tlirongh ratos"
"rom Charlotte to Charleston; from Atlanta and
?oints beyond to Charleston; as also from all those
ntcrior points to Now York, Baltimoro, Boston
ind I'll il idclpbia, through Charleston.
Tho port of Charleston, thon, has B largo rango
if cuntomcr?, so to ispoalf. Somo doal. directly
vith her; others want accommodation, through
tor ?hipping, to moro distant points. It should
)0 the aim of Charleston to accommodate nil, und
>y such a policy abo eularges bor influenco, in
?roaae? her population, nntl adds to her commorco
,nd wealth.
A "through rato," then, based upon fair terms,
o all pointu, is simoly un accommodation to aliip
iors. By it business is brought to our port, and
t is an error to suppose that, under such cirenm
tanccs, it can bo injurious to a city. Tako tbo
?at threo months' buuinoas in Charleston?by
'through rates" thousands of balos of cotton
:avo been brought hero to out' shipping, and tboso
loots of stoamers and Bailing voasols como back to
ut docks froightod with carg?os of general mor
handiso. All this givos employment in a thou
and ways.
It is conuidorod of great consoquonco by other
oaporta to scouro this ebb and flow of prodnco and
?crckandiso outward and inward, and it mnat bo
Bourco of great satisfaction for us all to know
dat., in tho face of all sorts of disadvantages and
?faculties with connootin? roads in tho interior,
barlcston has had a full sharo of ?.his business this
ill, nnd tho current still runs steadily in onr fa
or. We now record the arrival of flvoor six atoam
lipa per wook, while hi ono day wo noticed lately'
rrivalB of ton or twelve nailing packets.
But howover improvod our condition is, beyond
hat wo had expected it wotdd be at this timo, ten
raos as much can bo dono if ovory interest of tho
ty was at work to do it. There is no good reason
by Portsmouth ahonld havo tho monopoly of tbo
3ods in transit for points belter within reaoh via
harlcrlon; and thia.is a question which should
3 brought to tbo tost by on effort on tho part of
>th our stoamsbips and railroads.
It is no exaggeration to BBy that, with a propor
ganization, Charleston can double hor rocoiptd
f cott'in and quadruple? bor toimago of returning
.erohandise. A daily lino of first-class Btoamors
i Now York and a largo inoroaao in tho number to
;hcr ports, ean bo amply sustained. But to do
tis, auch an organization should bo offoctod as
ould bo irresistible
Tho Hold of action is almost, no to Bpoak, without
l?t... Can wo not turn those divergent streams
to a strong current to Charleston?

Leavonworth City, which was, ton years ago, a
nro ontpoat in tbo Indian country, now has noar
20,000 inhabitants, and is on tho groat Weatorn

uta Fo and other tradors. The onormou?
?ount of this businoss may bo inforred from too
lowing facts, which I gathorod, niter special in

ousand wagons with six thousand pounds each,
?king in all twenty-four million pounds of mor
andiso. To each wagon were attaohod twclvo
ad of cattle, making twon y-oight thousand
ad. AU of this was oxolubively for Government
o, and dostinod for tho various military pouts in
a Territories of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah,
ib.-auka, and other moro remoto places. At loaat
If a million dollars woro spent last year in
avonworth in ropair.ng and ?mounting wagons
>no. Theso wagons ore all of nearly tho samo
?Id, strongly modo and adapted for woar and

all bo complotod Government will savo at loast
o mil lio < of dollars a yoar, by the substitution
stoam for wagons. "
[mmonse numbers of wagons are also Bold and
idod horo for immigrants and trade . To tho^o

The Old Dauks of New Orleans.
Tho Picayune has tho following :
It is matter ol jongratulation to notice the eatis
actory progress which is being modo by most of
ur old banks. Six years ago, or previous to tho

istingnished by their solidity end judicious a<T
