POTOMAC RIVER TRADE

There is why, il the proper steps are taken
the trade of the whole Potomac river to its mouth
should not be directed 10 ths, its natural market
The value aud Importance of this trade can be readIv
estimated If we remember the soil and the productions
ofhe Potomac counties both in Virginia aud Mary
aud the capabilities of the whole region and the i'm
provements which are gradually going on in the a O.
rcultuial system there.
We have again aud again asked the attention of our
business men and citzsns generally, to this subject
AID as the Spring will soon Open and trade begin
again, we will renew our appeals on this head
One ct the principal means OF secuiin ing this trade
would be the establishment of a steam communication
with all the landings the river by means of ste
boat designed expressly Tor the river trade. We have
every reason to believe that is the time for going
on with this project and successfully carrying 1t out
w It'll proper efer and at comparatively small cos,
steamboat could be kept running constantly on the
river, TO aEd from this place. II the trade does not at
Hst, appear 10 lsity the undertaking, as a money
making pan, STILL we are sure, that it will gradually
and certainly increase When the farmers on the river
know that they have certain, regular and safe con-
veyanc6 TO market Tor their produce, they will soon
begin 10 avail themselves of the opportunity and in a
short tns become as much interested in its success as
the merchants
We, therefore, invite the attention of orr countrv
friends, also, to this matter in which they are
much concerned. In few hours thew could hays
their crops OF whe a. and con the productions of their
orchards, gardens md poultry yards, brought to a
market where they can get the highest cash prices
They would feaiZs, Immediately, the great benefits
they would receive from he proposed steamboat line.
Those OF thsm who resort to The tedious navipa.
ton OF the river and the bay round to Baltimore
would see, that it is better to trade with town in
their own Stale, and brought within few hours. ira
vel OF their own doors.
We throw out the above sug pestions in tho conf.
dent hope that our merchants, and all our citizens in
erested WILL least, give the subject that considera-
