VIE liberal encouragement which this
- Company has received during the past
season, has induced them to demolish their
temporary structures, and erect in their pla-
ces ertensipe and Convenient brick sheds for
storing Cotton and other produce, and to en-.
close their Steam Machinery within brick
walls, rendering the whole establishment as
safe from fire as it is possible to make it, and
securing the property which may be ntrust-
ed to their care from every depreciation.
The wharf in front of the Bellevue Press.
will be filled up and made easy for boats 10
land, and light will be kept during the
night to shew the landing, and clerks ready
at all times to receive and receipt for pro
perty received.
The Practicability of importing merchan-
die by sea vessels to the Port of Natchez,
and of shipping thence our own produce, has
been fully tested by the experience of the
last four years, and particularly by the ope-
rations of the last year, this Company alone
having despatched twenty-six vessels, CON
tanning over hirty-sepen thousand bales of
Cotton, TO Liverpool and other distant norris
with advantage to the ship owners and the
community at large. 1t is now well ascer-
tanned, that no necessity exists for confiding
our business and transferring large amount
oil our annual revenue, in the shape of COM
missions and charges, to the citizens of an
other State, and it is against the interests of
our people to do so. Money can be saved
the Planter by shipping from our own ports.
and 1t commissions and charges must be
paid, It is better that 1t should be for the i'm.
provement of our own State.
The operations of last year have also
demonstrated that it is entirely within the
power OF our Planters and Merchants to ere.
ate markets for the Cotton of the State with
IN our own borders, and under their imme-
date inspection and superintendent. and TO
ship to foreign Merchants to great adyan-
tage and at small expense through agen.
