BALTIMORE's OPPORTUNITY
SOUTHERN TRADE.


The magnificent charities dispensed to
the destitute and suffering people Of the
South BY those Of Baltimore have caused
all eyes in this section to turn towards her in
gratitude and admiration. Their generosity
may be justly esteemed disinterested, and as
flowing from pure and unaffected benevo-
lence These evidences of kindly sympa-
thy have not only made Us acquainted with
Baltimore, butattached US as grateful friends.
This attachment may be strengthened, and
cultivated into still more intimate and
durable commercial and social relation than
has heretofore existed
For the trade of the South Baltimore is
most admirably situated. Her direct Eu-
ropean connections through her merchant
marine, should enable her to obtain importa-
tons as cheaply and almost, if note quite,
as expeditiously as either of her more
Northern rivals. Her nearer proximity to
the Southern markets, by both water and
rail, should enable her, by proper organize
zation and effort, to compete successfully, in
time and rate, in the matter of freighting and
transportation to Southern points. Enjoying a
lineofrailway, extending almost due westfrOm
Norfolk, or Richmond, or from Washing
ton to Little Rock, Arkansas, with subsid-
larry lines, intersecting and leading directly
into the heart of the great producing and
consuming regions of the South, it would
be difficult to assign a good reason, why
Baltimore should not enter the list with the
larger but more remote cities, for a very
large proportion Of the spOils of this large
commerce. She is a great city, and it would
be unjust TO assert a lack of business intel
ligence, activity and enterprise to place her
in the struggle for stake of such magni-
tude
The presentation of the business of Balti-
timore to the people Of the South; and an
earnest effort on the part of her merchants
by presenting the right kind Of goods, and
at prices not above those offered by her ri
vals-together with a general system of cheap
through transportation over Southern Rail-
roads, would assuredly give her the prefer
ence among the people of all sections of the
South. Already it is inquired whether New
York is not sufficiently large, and whether il
is notpracticable to build up city and bust
ness at Norfolk, which would relieve the
former Of share Of its commercial burdens.
1t would be well in view of these facts for
Baltimore to consider her present and future
interests in the premises.

To the Editors Of the Union and Americana
CAMDEN, Tenn, August s, 1S66.-GEN-
TLEMEN: A young war commenced here
last Monday, 9th inst, County Court day..
A parcel of armed ex-Federal soldiers come
to this place. They came armed, exhibiting
their revolvers at every corner; after getting
drunk they commenced a TRADE of abuse
upon "secesh" as they called them, using vul-
gar epithets too obscene to be repeated. They
shortly after commenced to fire upon a man
who had been in the Southern army. He
retreated from them, and near the door of
Esquire LAsHLEE's store house, they shot
down an old citizen; we suppose they
missed their aim, but be that as it may, they
kept upa regular fire, advancing towards the
store shooting into the house amongst ladies
and gentlemen indiscriminately, when some
gentleman in the house seized gun and
killed the leader Of the mob and the others
retired. We state positively that no citizen
or ex-Southern soldier gave any cause fer
this attack. BY whom are they set on?

ty in reporting on a settled mode ofadminis-

tire absence Of system in the whole organi-
cation. The contract system controls the
labor of one State, while the labor is not
contracted for in another. The General
Government furnishes the funds in one dis
trict, and taxation Of the foaters and the
negroes furnish them in another. They
finally close the report by saying the system
of contract enforced by the Burea is simply
slavery in a modified form.

FORD have arrived from Ireland The two
former were released by the British Govern
ment on condition of their leaving at once

but stated that the Lord Lieutenant would
deal with them the same as ordinary subjects.
Maj. COSIERFORD comes as an envoy to

and hopes of the Fenians in Ireland are
better now than when STEPHENS left that
country. The people are determined to
fight aid or no aid from America. Their
confidence in STEPHENS is undated, and
they condemn the rruptfactions inAmerica.
