From Norfolk Daily Journal Dec. IL, 1867
KOsKoo.-This medicine is rapidly gaining the
confidence o fthe people, and the numerous tes-
timOnials Pitts virtues, given by practitioners of
medicine, leaves no doubt that it is a safe and
reliable remedy for IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD, Llv-
Ell Diseases, SC.
The last Medical Journal contains an article
from Prof. r. s. Newton. NJ. D., President Of L
Medical College, city of New York, that speaks in
high terms of its curative properties, and gives a
special recommendation OF Koskoo to the praeti-
TONERS of medicine. This is, we believe, the
first instance where such medicines have been
officially endorsedby the Faculty of any of the
medical colleges, and reflects great credit upon
the skill OF Dr.. Lawrence, its cOmpOunder, and
also puts ''Koskoo'' in the VAN of all other med
icines of the present day. feb24-3m.

necessary preparations to have their New
Brick Business House erected. The frame
building on the corner, adjoining their
store house has been torn down and the
brick work of the new building will COM
mence in u few days. This building will
add greatly to the appearance of our
hourishing town, and we hope that it will
induce other business men of the place to
take steps in the same direction.

THE DIRECT TRADE QUESTION.
Union OF the WORLDS Cotton Ports.

Union OF the WORLDS Cotton Ports.
The London correspondent of the New York
Times, in the course Of letter devoted to the
consideration of the shipping interest, at home
and abroad, says:
Cheap steam transportation between the
cotton ports ofthe United States and the cotton
markets Of Europe can no longer be postponed
without causing injury to the cotton growers or
our Southern States. India, the great competi-
tor in cotton culture, Is now within easy reach
of the European markets, by steam and the
Suez Canal. Already steam lines to the cotton
ports of India, via the Canal, have been started
in Marseilles, Genoa, Trieste and Odessa, and
all those ports now are practically nearer to
Bombay than they arc to New Orleans or Savan-
nah. Liverpool. London and Havre ship owners
are also sending steamers to Bombay and Cal
cutta, via Suez, and orders 10 1ulid steamers es
pecially adapted to the traffic have been re-
celvcd in England and Scotland from nearly
every important seaport in Europe. The ef-
feet of this close connection between the cot
ton growers of India and the cotton manufac-
turers OF Europe, cannot be favorable to the
cotton-growing interests OF the United States.
Its threatened dangers should be promptly
met by fair legislation and vigorous enterprise.
The Southern States must have direct steam
connections with the leading European cotton
markets, and that steam connection must be
profitable to those who provide the transporta-
On OF 1t will not last. Vessels VI moderate COST
light working expenses, large cargo capacity
and light draught, are the only classes
of steamers that can earn attractive
profits by carrying cotton at the cur
rent frcights; and such steamers Ameri-
can citizens are not permitted to own, as
American citizens; they must ignore that proud
title or retire from the business Of running
steamships upon tile North Atlantic. The class
Of steamers required Tor the cotton trade can
not be built in Tie United States without On
eXtravagant outlay OF capital, which will be
sure TO entail O serious loss upon any one who
may attempt the enterprise. AS our laws now
stand our Southern fGllow-citizcns must
patiently wait until foreign steamship owners
lake lp the trade which they offer, and which
Americans, taelr fellow-countryMen, would
gladly carry on if they were permitted to do
so upon conditions which offered q reasonable
promise of success. The people of the South
like the people Of the West, are dependent
upon foreign ship-owners for the conveyance
Of their produce to European markets, ana
they will continue to be so dependent, SO long
as they submit to the influences and interests
which are opposing The repeal OF the Reglslry
law, which forbids the purchase by American
citizens of ships suitable for modern tranlc,
upon terms which will allow them to compete
with the ship-OwnerS OF Great Britain, Ger
many, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Russia: or
Turkey.

The flight of ex-Revenue Collector Bailey.
of the Thirty-second New York District, Is the
absorbing theme Of interest in Gotham. The
absconding Collector had been so vigorous in
the discharge of his duties, and acted with so
much boldncss. that it was supposed he stood
high in the confidence OF the department at
Washington He has cen.somewllat notorious
lately in connection with large whiskey seiz-
ures. An investigation into his accounts
shows that Bailey is Il defaulter, and his books
exhibit large deficiency in the funds belong
Ing to the department; the sum is believed to
exceed $50, 600 The investigation is still pro-
crossing, but with tile greatest secrecy, and
the evidence of fraud on The Collectors part is
said to be overwhelming. 1t has also conc
to light that about four years ago, while Col
lector in the Fourth District, there was o de-
falcalion, which he made good by taking
money from the Thirty-second District after
becoming Collector there, and he thus con-
tinued by various devices to conceal the de-
lalcation up 10 the present time. His apprc-
hension that the District Attorney and Solici-
tor would investigate his affairs, and thus dis
cover his frauds, led to his flight No clue 10
his whereabouts has yet been ascertained by
the detectives.
