New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1858-07-14

There were no showers Of rain yesterday. There
was considerable business going on at the landing.
Boats arrive daily loaded deep with the rich and
varied products of the Great West, The talk is that
though many people have gone away, there is good
number remaining. We notice that the steamers
from New York last month carried out from twenty
five 10 forty passengers, mailing from New Orleans
and Louisiana. III is thought that this is helping
along New York and FreesoiI Boston with liberal
hand. If these same two hundred individuals would
contribute with the aane freedom to establish line
Of steamers between New Orleans and Europe the
benefits aud advantages Of direct communication
Wonld soon be realized. The South is aiding the
North more than perhaps is generally known, and
not only do we encourage and patroAi2e Northern
and foreign ship owners in the passage and freight
way, yet if a steamship is owned in the South, she
must be sent North every summer for repairs as re-
Gently in the case Of the Charleston Key West and
Havana packet Isabel. This shipWas lately sent to
New York for repairs, though owned and hailing
from Charleston yet South Carolinians would be n-
dependent il they could. II they cannot furnish the
necessary conyeniences to repair steamship, it
does not look well for Southern independence. But
the talk is that we have instances nearer home that
ought not TO be overlooked. Now, it is well known
that over at Algiers there are some of the most
spacious and best oontrged docks aud yards for the
building of and repair Of vessels that are in any other
sea port that there are engine builders, steam
works. foundries for casting the best of maehnists
and engineers, with shp-wrights, master builders,
and journeymen Of all trades, equal to any in the
world, und not exeelled in all the various require
ments which SO 10 make up competency and ability
to perform any work, and repaiTs to any extent re-
qnired STILL with all these appliances, the talk is
that two o. three steamship which have been enjoy
ing most lucrative trade tile past season (as many
have seasons before) have been sent to New York
for repairs and new equipments Possibly, some
folks may talk that It is nobody s business what
steamship owners do with their money or earnings.
Our talk is that money earned iii the South ought ID
be disbursed in such cases among the mechanics in
tha South; nor do we iike to tread on the toes Of
some Of our great folks III. F.s) who send to Paris
for their coats pantaoons gloves and so on and to
Londonfo bed linen, to New York for household
furniture. We might well send to these places for
our breakfast this morning. The further talk is that
more than onehalf Of tile people feel disposed to
pay tribute to snobbism and lunkeyism. Where is
our new.iashioned rnnie shirt made to order in
Paris
The Northern mail came through yesterday with
dates as iates as due We have not yet received any
papers BY the jackson Railroad. This route has
hardly got into trim, but will ere long The Cane
