DIRECT TRADE. We return to our mutton
and renewed the harping upon our daughter,
which the opportunity presented to-day in
the advertisement OF VIM. d. Reynolds &
Bro. The senior of this firm is q gentleman
of acknowledged enterprise aud energy, and
we are still further encouraged by the fact
that we have such men among us, who are
not to be discouraged by the disaster of the
Ephesus, but who show their faith in our
manifest destiny, by resolving to know no
such word as fail, and to keep pegging

ments. This is the way, eventually, to sue

the third effort of the famous spider which

direct trade, which has been so far off for so
,ong time, and which has but recently met
with disaster, after the energy displayed by
a former enterprising citizen, lis to bs regard

but not accomplrshed. &
We are therefore gratifed TO announce to
our readers and the interior country tapp d
by our railroad aud canal communication in
North Carolina, that the first class ST. anship

direct for Liverpool and will leave for her
destination about the middle of next month.
We therefore call upon all TO unite in vigor-
Gus effort to make this venture a success. Let
the merchants and planters encourage the en-
tmprse, and send firward their produce

signed to w. D. Reynolds & Bro. who will
receive it and store it free of charge

In this way shall we effect the object which
we all have 50 earnestly wished for, and then
make Norfolk the terminus of u steam line

amply repaid him for his work of love, and
will, we hope, result in much good. AS the
mission IS sustained entirely by donations,
any person or society friendly to the benign
cause and who may wishsto evince it, can do
so by donation of such books, tracts, OR other
things which will be acceptable TO those Ut
able to buy them. In small beautiful book
presented by the missionary to a little coun-
try girl who frequently draws water from the
well, the following verses of caution occur
This spot we never more may see,
And should it be the case
Yet we shall bear in memory
That pretty smiling face.
81 And pray remember what we say. ,iasi.
Nor let our caution sleep,
For we are prudent, you are gay, 5afs
.. And oh the we'll is deep. 4
We hope that the City Missionary cause
will prosper and commend the above appeal
to the charitable consideration Of all good
people.
