A new era seems about 10 dawn upon the commercial
prospects Of Virginia The ink is scarcely dry with
which we have made the announcement OF the passage oi
the James River and Kanawba bill This event gives Us
reasonable hope in few years Of adding the immense
trade Of the West to the present exports of our own
safe as the foundation Of extended commerce with
foreign ports But close upon the heels of this polite
measure follows another which, though less imposing in
It's claims is vet Of incacuabe Importance in placing our
foreign trade upon permanent end reliable basis We
refer to the bin for the encouragement OF direct trade
which passed the House Of Delegates Friday, and will
come before the Senate for their approval to-day
As an excellent substitute for any remarks OF our own,
enforcing the importance OF this measure publish be-
low the speech Of Mr. Segar, delivered in the House
when this subject was under consideration there 1t Is
refreshing TO witness the indications of the progress OF
oilon towards liberal views on the various questions
which affect our commerce. In Mr. Segar, however, we
recognize an old aud tried friend of an enlarged and
liberal commercial policy
The bill "for the encouragement of direct trade" be
ing up, Mr.. SEGAR said:
The bin was a most important one second only to the
Great measure Of the seSSiOn-The James River and

friend in Washington:
A prominent member Of Congress Of the Southern
