showmen, but toe manufactures of Son,hara
looms, brought 10 New York to ~ sold instead
OF hnding market at hone. Probably a''ef
soue dealer In sheetings or shirtings here has
purchased them at profit, he Will secd snep
bach~eo Savannah with the New York stamp
and make another profit ny the shipment Such
an iDssacce as this speaks voinmes for the IRE
sistibie supremacy of our mart with centrifu
gal and centrlpesai power 10 harmony; tie
one scattering far and wide what IL WISHES TO
magnet all i, desires to possets.
From the Carolinas we noticed the great i'm
portation Of naval stores, rosin snd spirits OF
turpentine-tte one in quantities to varnish o.
roughen the strings Of all the bows Of all the
6ddiers that ever iddied since the days Of Kipg
David, or make all the plassers for all the weak
backs OF all our weakest politicians. Tue tur.
pentine and pine shingles Of these Caroliass also
come to US by their little schooaers, sad dad the
Union worth something TO their barrens. not
outstanding we misbehave ourselves on the Mig
ger question. Baltimore aud Philadelphia send
cargoes. The steamer Potomac, Oh the occasion
we refer to, was reported az bringing hops for
our brewers and rags for our paper makers,
pork for our provision dealers, tobacco in large
quantities tor local manufacture aud export;
boiler iron plates and seas of whiskey, to be
iron in various FORMS comes by toas ready for
our steam engine works, and very good tobacco
is also raised 10 the interior aud along the line
" its Central Railroad. From Down Fast come
scudding in Ut all times of day aud night the
busy pfopellers, the tall masted scbooners and
already quoted were reported, On board
he schooner Tom Jefferson, niuety.four cases
~ eopal, some Of the overpius probably OF
cargo from the East lodies, possibly doctored
little by the Salem shippers before it was for
Ssrded to this city; Brazil nuts, the return for
dried Goldfish perhaps, aud quintals Of that and
maekerel in barrels of perpetual roll. The Iss-
DELLA, from Boston, brought oakum, ship build
,ng not being very fourishiDg in the modern
Athens, its learned citizens preferring Hbations
20 the gods, and wreaths of laurel with which
they crown each other; saltpetre, shelacs, jute
and COR yarn; all these last the fragmentary ga
therings of Asiatic ventures. In another schooner
| from Boston, we noticed came vitriol in consi
| derable quantities, few bales Of hops, the pro
QUOT Of some well to do farmer, neighbor proba
oily to the autocrat; bay water from the Antilles
TO cool our feverish brows; chickory from down
East, to give our coffee higher flavor and the
erocers larger profit, and beans, about which
| the Down Casters know 80 much.
But it is useless to extend our comments; any
one on consulting the Custom House returns
may find other items still more curious than any
| Of those we have mentioned. The African, Ita-
liam and Asiatic trade can at any time furnish a
museum Of curiosities. Thus ''all the world and
| the rest OF mankind" are toillng to swell the
commerce of New York: everywhere labor aud
intellect are busy to get something from our
plethoric pockets; and, looking somewhat poeti-
caly at these ceaseless efforts of men at home and
abroad, who work for us so constantly we may
say even Of their animals in the famous lines Of
Virgil
Sic vohs ara'ra boves
SIC voos mcibcatn apes,
SIC vobs vellera teris 0ves
Sic non vobs nidneatis ayes.
