MISCELLANEOUS.
A charter having been secured for 4 line
of steamers between this port and New
Orleans, the subscription books will, we
learn, be opened in a day or two, in order
that our prOperty-holders and merchants
may own and control the boats cOmpris-
ing the line. Several of our most wealthy
citizens have taken a deep interest in the
matter, and before another season opens
we may expect To have a line of packets
well feel proud. We have felt the want of
such a line this season very seriously, and
have lost thousands of dollars in cotton
alone, in consequence. The new company
will proceed TO build or buy two boats,
giving US one boat a week, and the num-
Der will be increased, if Unnecessary. Steam
boat stock has been the best paying in
vestment we know of all this season, and
