CHANCE FOR DIRECT TRADE.

From the following letter addressed Of the edi-
OF the Norfolk Argus, which we find in that paper
Of Monday it appears that the Great Eastern may yet
be employed in direct trade between Norfolk and Liver
% aha hare 9Th 6Psr eRty 81 Of
our merchants and railroad companies have no doubt
they may be promptly met
The following is the letter. Let the business men OF
Eastern Virginia read it and set themselves to work
NEW York, July 26th, 1860.
NY DEAR FRIEND: received your letter and accom-
panying documents for which ain very much obliged.
They will be Of great service
am happy 10 say to YOU that the results OF my in
teryiew with the directors of the Great Eastern have
been very satisfactory On presenting the facts before
the directors as regards the advantages Of place by
nature and art they seemed to be much pleased and
pressed themselves being They said they had not
been aware that Norfolk possessed such advantages and
would willingly run 10 connection with Norfolk and Ii
yerpool on their return to Europe if the merchants
would guarantee hundred and sixty thousand bales
of cotton for twelve months making eight trips during
the twelve months carrying twenty thousad bales of cot
ton trip.
this trip in consequence of contract to leave for Europe
on the 10th August II it not for this business con-
tract there is not the slightest doubt that they would
stop From what | could learn from them, and they
talked very freely me, they very anxious TO make
a few trims out Of our port Mr.. COnege, one of the
most prominent directors says IL we could not get all
cotton, that tobacco would answer as well
am to have another interview with them and wish
YOU to stir up people upon the subject. see no
difficulty in the way. We ought to be able TO get
6O OOO one hundred and siXty thousand bales of cot
ton out of Memphis and North Carolina. And if we can
not get that amount we get enough to load her two
or three trp so attract the attention OF shpown-
ers and capitalists to our place.
One great drawback that labor under, is that the
advantages Of place not known TO the business
world And as quickly it is known what we ca
pabe of doing then, will prefer to say prosperity
will begin And il will take such enterprise as load
ing the Great Eastern to bring our place into proper
notice.
If the merchants will not guarantee 100000 bales they
surely can guarantee 10000. The railroad companies
will come down in their tariff sufficiently to bring the
cotton at the proper rate.
Yours truly, j. ID. III.
PS-July 27th.-I have Just had another interview
with the directors Of the Great Eastern and they II
we will guarantee 40 or $4,000 bales Of cotton they will
make two trips to Norfolk from Liverpool commencing
sometime in 0ctober-frtght cotton $3.50 per bale
the same as from New York to Liverpool II We cannot
get cotton tobacco will am in hopes we viii
be able to secure the amount Of cotton tobacco.
we cannot get guarantee for two trips certainly
can for trip. j. ID. NJ
