thc Southern trade Is the most liberal, and the
most reliable. It is this trade that has made
tbe North fat and sauey, and they (the North

This CITY is, then, in my most honest iudS
iueIt, the most favorable locality for en- ter
prise and money making in America. Our
merchants have been unable this spring TO
furnish half stocks for the trade and even
by fall doubt If they can be able to give 4

manufactures of every description, such as
shoes, clothing especially, agricultural i'm
plelnents cigars, pickles, preserves, ma tehes
shirts, collars, and, indeed, every thing that
man needs. We have but few such here a |
present, and they are kept sickly by Northern
com petition. The man ufac ture of pickles and
preserves alone would be one of the very bes t
pursuits that could be thought of, for no one
scarcely in all the South ever thinks of
picking and preserving for their own use,
snd everybody uses them, and the ma terra
