Trade with Memphis .

The Charleston people are waking up to the
importance Of steam communicationiw with Europe
and direct Railroad communication with Mem
phi,. twill be seen that while Savannah is
reaching out to tap the Mississippi Valley at
Natchez, Charleston looks toward Memphis. The
followingsis the recent action of the Board of
Trade of Charleston:
Whereas, it isof importance that the trade of
tho great West should be turned as much as pos
sible to the city of Charleston, and in tho ab-
sence of that large capital which we once pos
sessed, it is our duty to make use of that geog
raphical position which tho Almighty has given
us, being the BEST shipping point to Europe North
of the Gulf Of. Mexico.
True it is that property passing through city
is not, for the time being, of my great benefit,
but it is necessary that we should keep Charles;
ton on the great highway of nations. New Or
leans has lost her commercial position, as nearly
al the trade East of the Mississippi has been di-
vefted from her By the railroads The difficult
navigation around Cape Florida, and high insu-
rance, together with the extra time in reaching
market, either at the North or Europe, leaves
Charleston the nearest point 10 the North of Eu-
rope.
With the railroad which will positively be- con.
Structed between Atlanta aud Decatur, Alabama,I
and Charleston will be within tWenty hoursol
Memphis. Memphis is the only point within hun
dred miles North or South, where bridge can be
thrown across the Mississippi, but with this
bridge pia St. Louis, we are the nearest point to
San Francisco on tho Atlantic, with the excep-
ton of Savannah, but We arc from .twenty-four
to forty EIGHT hours nearer the North Of Europe,
than any point South of us, by reason Of our
position on the ocean, Not being subjected to
heavy snow storms South of Memphis, to impede
the movement of railroad trains, who is tosay
that we shall not see trains from San francisco,
loaded with teas and other East India produce
pass through our city for shipment to EurGpe.
Therefore belt 5ss5,;itsjs3
I2ssolred, That re hail with satisfaction the
Inauguration of the new line of steamships be-
tween Charleston and Liverpool, hoping that it
may be tho beginning Of o new craeof the pros
perity of Charleston.
Resolred, That tho President of this Board
appoint at his leisure a Committee of three, who
shall ascertain from Messrs. Robert Mure d Co.,
the precise time at which each steamer of their
line will leave Liverpool, and that circulars be
issued by this Board to the Board of Trade and
the Chamber Of Commerce OF Augusta, Atlanta,
Nashville, Louisville Cincinnati and memphis,
inviting them to import their goods from Liver

A Bruce of Liars.

A correspondent of the Republican,, Radical
sheet pablishel at Charleston. writing from Edge
field, says:
"In the upper part of our county the white
men go in gangs of ten or twenty, armed with
their sixteen shooters, breaking in upon the pea
-ceable colorcd men, killing some and wounding
others, rubbing the houses and boating the Women
aud children with their guns. A great many OF
the leading colored men have left their homes.
and sought protection in the lower part of the
county. The Republican party of this county
wants peace. The leading Democrats likewise
say they want peace. The latter tell US this in
tue day, but they change their programme ut
night

ginning to end-will yet be ferreted out, and

he is thus basely attempting to fasten upon the

From the "MssiOnary Record" daddy

"AlKxy-Rev. Moses Saulers, writes that he
has lust returned from Edgefeld, where he was
compelled to leave at midnight in order to save
his lie from the infuriated Democracy in that
District yet the people, are determined to de.
vote themselves to the aervce Of Gud; revival
is going on among them."
This man Saulters is known to but few of our
citizens, but those few had q better opinion Of
him than to think that he could or wou!d, with
out the slightest foundation, concoct so wonderful
" blood and thunder" falsehood as the above
We venture our salvation that not one Of the
