and buoyed, SO as to enable the merchants
bark to reach place where she may dis
charge her cargo,
This being the fact, let us apply our re-
marks to tho particular case of Norfolk
Everybody in the United States knows that
we have the finest harbor on the Atlantic
coast, and also the most magnificent lines of
communication stretching out all over the
South, West and Northwest We say this is
known to all, but only in general way
What We need is that the superior advanta-
ges Of our situation should Re particularized
and exactly defined. There is nothing that
so takes hold of the popular mind as figures,
and one page of these nine dgits. properly
disposed, is worth volume of general des-
cription and speculative writing
Our object in writing this article is to im-
press upon the Board of Trade the necessity of
publishing ali authoritative pamphlet, setting
forth all the advantages Of Norfolk as to its
harbor and its connections with the nte-
rior
Let them give special prominence to the
fact that we are so much nearer to ST. Louis
and Cincinnati than is any port north or
south of us. Let them put down the cost of
transportation of bale of cotton to Norfolk,
showing how much less it is than the freight
to New York, or any other city on the coast.
The quickness Of the direct VOYAGES from this
point to Europe, compared with the much
greater time required, We're the farmers or
merchants Of the interior to send their pro-
duce By any more circuitous route, &c.
In addition to all these arguments, let the
Board of Trade state the truth in regard to the
only reason why we have not been able to
turn to account these our great natural advan-
tages, viz: the totallac Of capital in Norfolk.
Let them invite capitalists to Norfolk, urging
them to come on and be the first to turn to
their own account the unequaled facilities
for making fortunes, afforded by the unrivaled
advantages enjoyed at this point.

1t has been often said that trade will Gnd
out the channels in which it vas destined to
run. This il certainly true. and when a
place is so blessed with commercial advantages
"a Norfolk, we have no doubt that trade will
ultimately make use NJ its rro-eminent posi-

But the general proposition. which we have
stated above. depends upon another, viz: that

Joliet, Sept. Notwithstanding the rain
a large crowd had assembled here and the peo-

was announced that he was at the rear door

direction and greeted him with hearty cheers.
Such manifestations of appreciation of him
have everywhere been expressed by all clas-

Bloomington, H., Sept. 7-2 o'clock. -
| The President and Admiral Farragut and
others were introduced by Hon. John Hogan,
of Missouri, to a large crowd. The greatest
possible anxiety was manifested to see General
Grant and loud and repeated calls we're made
for him. The General appeared on the plat

plause. When he retired President johnson
commenced speaking, but he was interrupted
by renewed cheers for General Grant, and a
voice said: "We don't want traitors hunting
bread and putter at the home of Lincoln y
To which Mr.. Hogan replied. Cali you are
afraid of is losing your bread and butter, and
that's what's the matter" The response
raised a general laugh, and the President re-
marked to those who were disposed to create
a disturbance that he was on the line with
General Grant, contending for the Union OF
the States. Before he could say more the
train resumed its way
