Direct Trade.

At the late PlanteIs Convention in Macon, Geofga, resolutions in favor of immediate action in relation to opening direct trade with the con
 linent of Europe, were unanimously adopted
 This subject IS not a new one, though it has long
 remained unacted upon; and now that it has been
 prominently brought forward, and fully and abl, discussed throughout the south. it is to be hoped steps will soon be taken to put it into successful
 operation.
 : Direct trade is to the south the next thing tC
 free trade It is in fact free trade, for will make
 ms free and independent of those powers and ports
 to whom we are, at great inconvenience, expense and loss of time. constantly indebted for every article we import.
 In the present condition ef things. the south is pefecly and undeniably at the mercy of the north ern and English capitalists. She is mei iadePead- ea, nor can she srer bs so long as our imports and exports pass through and are controlled by the north and England.
 l At this time our markets are few and limited, bu, should trade directly between southern ports and the continent he established the result would be speedily to extend mstkets, 10 create compe'i- ton, to increase the consumption and consequent ly enhance the value of southern productions The south could take no step. in our opinion, hioh would result more to her prosperity and ad- yancement. The effect, in peeuniary point of view, would soon be felt by all, whilst, as po- litical movement, it would rebound incidentally to the power and importance Of the slaveholding States.
 As the world wags now a-days, our most bitter and unyielding foes are those to whose very ex- stence we are absolutely necessary, and instead of their friendship and confidence, we receive but their abnse and contempt; and snch being the posture of affairs under present. arrangements, our interests and our very weakness compel us to sub init. Consequently 1t has long since become ne- cessary that the south should be aroused to her true interest, and adopt and put into immediate execution some plan of operation, which would. by opening to onr productions other markets, ren- des us independent. of, and indifferent to. the friendship or hostility of any one section of the habiiable globe.
 x This can be accomplished. and direct taAde with the continent of Europe, and with every other portion of the world, is the only sure and speedy means. Instead bf using the ports and shipping of the noTth. and of Engisnd. we would have ports and shipping Of our own. the possession and active employment Of which would. at an early day. put us upon ah equal footing with the most powerful nations. and make the beautiful "sanay southr' the weslthiest and most prosperous couu try under the sun. I
 Sush is the importance and such would be the effect of direct trade with different parts Of the world. Let the south awsken to her condition, and her ealerpsise in this behalf will most surely be crowned with success

uA aegro woman has been giving concerts in Buffalo, N. Y. The Express tftee soiD says of of her concerts. that Parodi and her associates had sung in the same hall few nights previous to half house." and adds
 "Jenny Lind has never drawn better house as to character, than that which listened with evident satisfaction to this unheraided and almost unknown Affican Nightingale. Curiosity did something for her, but not all"
 No, not all. Had she have been fugitive from the south the house drawn by the Swede would not have been half go respectable or so crowded. Curiosity did something for her, but the color of the skin did more.
