The most important feature in this statement is
the detailed report of shipments made to each place.
The aggregate amount is small both of merchandise
and Of specie. Nearly one half of the total export
was to ports in Great Britain
The second report of the Brunswick and Florida
Railroad Company which we published yesterday
gives very favorable report Of the progress made
in the completion Of this important road. The
construction Of this road will be Of incalculable
value to Georgia, Florida and Southern Alaba-
main fact, to the whole southwestern section
of the Union. In o national point Of view it
will he q very important movement, by doing
away with the necessity of making passages around
the dangerous capes Of Florida, by opening com.
municaton between the excellent port Of Brunswick.
its Atlantic terminus, and the port Of st. Marks, and
ultimately with that of Pensacola on the gulf 1t
will be channel for the safe and cheap transportation
of the vast commerce Of the Southwest to the At
antic and the best avenue for travel from the North
to Mexico via Vera Cruz, and, via the isthmus Of
Tehuantepec, to California and the Pacific. The COM
pany ask no money from the government or the pub
lic-ther road is in active progress, and provision is
made for its construction throughout. But they do
think the importance Of their road in time of war to
the general government gives them strong claim
for the remission Of the duties on their iron. Con-
gress should take this into immediate consideration,
and act upon il at once. This company has better
foundation for claim of this kind than any other
road in the country.
