But to enumerate all the steamships and
companies engaged in the Southern coast
wise trade would occupy too much space
at this time. II is sufficient to know that they
exist, that the American steam marine has the
monopoly of the American carrying trade to
all tho points on this continent, and that
whatever may be the present advantage Of
foreign steam lines with regard to European
commerce, it must be recollected that we are
only year out Of the war; and having done
so handsomely already in regard to conti-
mental steam communication, what may be
expected in another year with regard to our
steam connections with Europe!
