expected will be exchanged for cotton. This
is new feature in the policy of the Govern
ment, and may lead to important results
Senator Simmons, Of Rhode Island, has been
the principal mover in this matter. it may
be that these vessels and others now fitting
out will also follow the expedition, and az
soon as an opening is made and permanent
footing obtained in South Carolina or Geor-
gia, cargoes of cotton will be at once shipped
to Liverpool and other ports This is very

and efficient General, will assume a satisfac-
tory condition.
