Direct Trade.
/ Gov Towns, of Georgia, in his message
/ to the State Legislature now in session at
Milledgeyille, devotes paragraph to a strong
recommendation of the establishment of
line of steam propellers from Savannah to
England. He expresses some pointed views
on the Importance of direct trade, bywhieh
the immense products, for the speedy trans
] mission of which to the Atlantic ports up
wards of four millions of dollars has been
expended by Georgia in the building ofrail-
roads should reach the foreign purchaser
without being subject to the long list of dou-
bic charges and delays by the circuitous route
through the Northern ports He reasons
that all these charges fall indirectly upon the
Southern producer, and that Georgia thus
yields up to ,he North just so much of the
value of her products as by the present course
of trade they pay the people of New York
and keeps up for ti9em the system .oferedit by
which they have been enable to control com
, merce. A good deal of this is undoubtedly
! true enough; enoughto establish the wisdom
and necessity of the policy which Gov Town:
! desires to inculcate-that of building up
domestic shipping and exporting interest, by
! which the profits of Southern industry ma,
be retained at home, Two or three success
