This is the first time tha, r:rc; steamers on
Western waters were obliged to obtain clear
aDccS; bat us these beats are now looked
)rpon in the light of vessels sailing TO-,
"iorcgn'' ports, Of course such an obligation
Is considered necessary, and it is very sig
nI'lcant Of the charge which has already
taken placein the relations between the two
sections Of the country. ,"a,
The New York Herald, rcmarkirg upon
the above facts, predicts that European
imports arriving at New Orleans, or any
othe: city within the limits of the South
ern Confcderacy, and paying the low duty
prescribed by Southern tariff, will unqucs-
tion"biy lie shipped by these Mississippi
river boats to all points in the Northwest
e:n and the bordcr States, without any
regard for the cxorbitant provisions of the
Northern Morrill, tariff, which takes effect
on the first of next month. This Morrill,
tariff imposes burdensomc tax upon iron,
cotton goods, wooiens, and all Of those
necessary articles Of which such immense
quantities arc consumed in the Northwest.
while the Southern tariff is that of 1857,
now in force, but which is to bc still father
reduced by the Southern Congress. A
direct trade will Immediately spring m
between Europe and the South, and we

thc Mississippi Valley, within very short
time, would make their purchases at New
Orleans. The Xernla predicts that the
Southern trade, under this impetus, will
extend far north as st. Paul, Minnesota,
and as far east as Pittsburgh" to the cxcu-
sion Of the eastern markets.
The New York Evening Pot is fearful
Of the same state Of ailai,s on the Atlantic
coast. 1t says: N.... :.s ,fi
We happen to know that there are i'm
porting houses at this moment preparing
20 take an advantage Of This opening ior an
un;ncumbercd trade. They are getting
ready: TO convey their carsoes to Charleston
or Savannah; the goods will he landed
there, and then brought coastwise to New
York, where, being imp rtation from port
in the Union, they will be subjected to no
duty. The new tariff, with it's strange
iormaliiics and ingenious delays, form an
additional inducement with them to take
this course.
