GOOD MOVE.

On Saturday last, Hon. W. R. Adams, Of Orleans
submitted to the Convention resolution, which
was unanimously adopted, instructng the Commit.
tee on Commerce, Revenue and Navigation, to re-
quest the Hon. F. H. Hatch, Collector Of Customs
at this port to communicate such information in
regard to the interests of the commerce and navi-
CATION Of the State may require the action of tie
Convention.
We have no doubt this move will elicit much
valuable knowledge. Collector Hatch, in addition
to his unquestioned ability and efficiency, has had
great and varied experience, and can communicate
to the Convention data and statistical information
Of the greatest utility and Importance.
If the tariff should be continued as it now is, the
revenue the Southern Confederacy will be able to
derive from customs at this port can be approx
mated to sufficient standard of accuracy to meet
practical purposes; and if it should be reduced
the same result can be arrived at. We shall look
for Collector Hatchs response with considerable
interest, being persuaded he will throw food of
light upon matters Of vast moment to the prosper
ity of the new order of things.
