DIRECT 1MPoRrArIoSs.-We are gratifed to learn
from our Wilmington exchanges that a system of
direct importation has been or is about to be nau
gurated by some of the enterprising merchants of
that place.
This fact pleased to record, as it is an evil
dence of the iourishng condition of our sister town
and because by development of the contemplated
project, the enormous tax which our merchants
have to pay ia sustain northern commerce and en-
terprize, will in great degree be diminished.
The working of the present system is other than
advantageous to the southern community, for our
merchants now have to purchase all imported art-
cles from the northern cities at large advance upon
their first COST the consequence is the consumers at
the south have to pay double profit upon their
purchases
Should this enterprise be sustained, as we sin.
cerely trust it may be- our consumers will have to
pay but one profit for the articles they may pur-
chase and then be enabled to get them at rates as
reasonable and low as merchants are now compelled
to pay for them in the northern markets. We trust
the enterprise may succeed, and that the South
will demonstrate to their northern brethren that
they have sufficient independence and capital to es-
tablish system Of importation which will be mu-
tually advantageous to the importer and buyer. In
our town Messrs. Geo. w. Williams & Co., import
all their own hardware, &c.-Fayetteoile Caro-
| linian.

THE SLAVE TRADE IN NEW ENGLAND.
SALEM. Tuesday, Aug. 9, 1862

Great excitement prevails in this town on account
of the dispatch printed in the Times Of Monday, in
relation to two savers reported to be fitting out at
this port. The Collector, Mr. Pike, denies any
knowledge of such vessels The largest African
firms in the town, those of Brookhause, Hunt Co.,
and Charles Hoffman, of course profess amazement
a. the story and the local editors equally over
come. Nevertheless as know the unquestionable
authoritative character of the source from which
your information originally proceeded, l am bound
to say, without impugning in the least the state
ments of any of these gentlemen, that am far
from satisfied with what have thus far learned in
contradiction of the report. There ugly rumors
afoat in the city. The business is so very danger
Gus a one, and has been organized so long in the
lesser New England seaports, WIKI ther by merchants
resident or by skilfu use of the facilities of those
ports for the purposes of New York houses that it
is only difficult to track the guilty parties to their
guilt The Government treats the whole matter
with supreme indifference. At Portland, the vessel
which has given rise to similar charge in the COL
umns of one of your contemporaries is the Clipper
Nescsboy originally built for the Mediterranean
trade in fruit, with Boston. She is now lying in
Portland harbor; "up for Fayal," say the consign-
ees, McGilvery, Ryan & Davies Her cargo, report
ed by consignees is 10000 feet of lumber, sixty
barrels -four, sixty barrels of bread twenty barrels
of tar and twenty tierces of rice. That the ship
ment of specie to certain vessels at Salem a
tain day of the past week, is fact beyond doubt,
you know well as the hands through which it
passed; and you may rest assured l shall do what
can to track this specie to its destnation.-Cor
". York Times.
