some "point of honor" and Mr. Gaines closed
bis last note with-"If you will not answer,
Captain Small is required to ask you to an
nounce friend, and it will be settled in a
gentlemanly manner" Mr Hathaway pre-
ferred not to settle it in the gentlemanly man
ner referred to, and was so unchivalric as to
procure the arrest of Mr. Gaines and his sec
ond. He is evidently, therefore, man of
courage, "the code" to the contrary notwith-
standing, and he hardly needed the defense

which it is to be carried into effect and report
to grand meeting of stockholders Of the
three roads Mr.. Campbell offered substi-
tute to appoint COMMITTEES to confer with a
committee of the roads and report at the next
annual meeting of stockholders en- the pro-
priety of such action. Defeated by a vote Of
3,776 nays, 8, 1870 ayes, the State voting nay.

Direct Foreign Trade with Memphis

The Richmond Enquirer clips paragraph
from the Memphis Appeal, to the effect that
Major Joseph Barbiere Of that city had return
ed from France, where he has been arranging
for direct mercantile communication between
Memphis and Europe. The Appeal says:
ave are informed that be has been successful
in bis project, and that some time during the
coming winter we may expect to see several
ocean steamers, flying European flag, at our
landing, and, what is better, full of foreign
freghts for our city and the surrounding
country
The Enquirer very justly remarks that let
the policy prevail of uniting the working Of
the railroads from Norfolk to Memphis and
those steamers with many others will soon be
seen flying their European flags in the waters
of Virginia.
We observe that General Malone is re-
ported to have made powerful speech at the
railroad meeting now in session in Lynch
burg, which we look for with interest. If as,
the Enquirer says, the policy of consolidation
advocated by General Malone should pre-
vail we may indeed look for the floating OF
the gay European pennants and ensigns in
our common harbor," and the dawning of a
new era upon the commercial prosperity of
Norfolk and the entire State of Virginia.
| The accumulation or concentration of the
rich products of the West at our Seaboard is
indispensable to the Inauguration and estab-
lishment of direct trade with Europe, about
which we have been for so long time agita-
ting May the day so long wished for be
FASTENED and our firm union with the West,
with whose interests we are identified, be
made lasting and perpetual.

The above we regard as fair statement Of
the actual general charges in each market
to which we call special attention. As gen.
eral condition, however, the price in the Nor
folk market for the same quality of cotton,
ranges higher than in Petersburg. 1t is nat
ural and in accordance with the laws Of trade
that this condition should exist because cot
ton bought in Petersburg intended for trans
portation to Northern markets, is broughta our
very wharves, distance of at least $50 miles,
before it goes forward The Norfolk market
is situated in the centre of the great cotton
marts of the country, and there are almost
always more buyers, factors, agents, and spec
ulators here than We can generally accommo-
date; so that there may be said to be a per-
petually existing demand. The varions lines
of steamers plying to Baltimore, Philadelphia
New York and Bosten, the facilities thus at
forded of sending forward samples OF each,
and the power of selling by telegraph, place
the Norfolk market in more favorable and
commanding position than that Of our neighbor
or any other locality in the State, or perhaps
elsewhere South. We say nothing of the
buyers for export.
We conclude, therefore, that the farmers
and shippers of the interior, with which Nor
fold is in easy and speedy communication by
rail and canal, may rest assured that if they
send their cotton to this market it will have
prompt attention from our merchants, and
with the most reasonable prospect OF sale at
higher rates than in any other market South
Of New York, and taking into consideration
the very strict grade adhered to there, perhaps
really as high as in that market, with moi
much more than half the expense.
By concentrating their cotton ia Norfolk,
we should soon have a steam line to Liverpool
and thus establish an importing and expor-
| ting market in the South, which can be done
| in no other mode. We must have the CO.
operation of the producers to effect this desid-
eratum of direct trade in which they are al
interested. Norfolk is the place for this, and
to all other sections in Virginia and the South
we utter a Macedonian appeal--'come ovei
and help us.
