Since the establishment ofthe Southern
Con!ederacy there have been many mani :
stations! of itsprogress as an independent
Ignvcrnmcnt; the latest, however. being the
adoption Of the clearance system in the New
Orleans Custom !!ouse for the river steam
ers running on the Mississippi to ports in
the States which have not entered the. new
confederation. THUS Ne finds among lhe
New Orleans clcaranccs for Saturday, March

| This is the first time tha. river steamers on
Western waters were Obliged to obtain clear
ances; but as these boats are, now looked
upon in the light of vessels sailing for
foreign ports. Of course such an Obligation
is considered necessary, and it is very sig
nlicant Of the charge which has. already
/ taken placein the relations between the two
sections ofthe country. it'i90 }n@i3j@t5l
The New York NeraM, rcmarking upon
the above facts, predicts that European
imports arriving at New Orleans. or any
other city. within the limits of the South
,ern Confederacy, and paying the low duty
prescribed by Southern tariff, will unques-
tion"biy lie shipped by these Mississippi
river boats to all points in the Northwest
ern and the Border States, without any
regard for the exorbitant 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, woolens, and all of those
necessary articles o! which such immense
quantities are 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 up
between Europe and the South, and we
would rot be surprised ifthe merchants in
the Mississippi Valley, within very short
time, would make their purchases at New
Orleans. The Herald predicts that the
Southern trade, under this impetus, will
extend far north as ST. Paul, Minnesota,
and as far cast as Pittsburgh" to the cxclu-
sion Of the eastern markets. 800 2+ir}s1

We happen to know that there are i'm
lort'ns houses at this n moment preparing
unincumbercd trade. They are getting
ready to convey their cargoes to Charleston
or Savannah; the goods will bc landed
there, and then brought coastwisc TO New
York, where, being inp' rtation from port
in the Union, they will besuhjccted to no
duty. The new tariff, with its strange
formali,ies and ingenious delays, form an
additional induccment with them to take
this course.
