ton through second hands. This
rapid communication renders il
possible and easy for grover
and consumer to trade directlywith
each other. and thereby to lesson
the expenses Of their trading. It
is only by ayailing himself OF this
advantage that the buyer can get
the benefit Of one olthe ecOnomy's
ofbusincss which the age furnishes
to him.
With these general remarks, we
propose TO pass on to the point Of
showing you the special advan-
tages Of Vicksburg as one of the
new leading Cotton markets, de
manded by the necessities aud
wishes Of the country. We beg
that you will first examine 4 map
ofthe Southern States, by which
you will see that Vicksburg is
situated very nearly upon the 32d
parallel Of latitude north; that she
stands midway between the mouth
or Arkansas river on the north
and of Red river on the south ;
that between the lines of latitude
on which these two rivers empty
into the Mississippi, lies the
great cotton belt of the South,
extending from the Atlantic coast
to the Western border Of Texas;
that Vicksburg is not only mid.
way between the Northern and
Southern limits OF the belt, but is
also midway between the Eastern
and Western limits. Again, please
consult the map, and you will see
that the great Yazoo Yalley-capa-
Bile, when fully reclaimed, Of pro.
ducing more Cotton than is al
present made in all ofthe South
pours through the Yazoo river
and It's many tributaries, all ofheI
rich products into the lap ofVlcks
burg.
Above and below her, the broat

aud by means OF her many Packe
Lines. gives constant communica
ton with her. She has a railroat

river.
Vicksburg will be the grea
crossing point on the Mississippi
river, OF the Atlantic and Paciti
railroad on the 32nd parallel ,
latitude. She will soon be co!
incctcd with New Orleans by til
chartered road from that point Vi
Baton Rouge, and with Lit.
i. Rock, Arkansas, by . road frol
/. that point, and with Memphis, i
the Iazoo Valley roaL Thus
, i, seen that tie desideratum, TO

, We beg to call your special a

Ituct5.e feature to the cottoI
which she furnishes, to-wit: L
length Of staple, short staple O.
ton being comparatively unknov
in her market. You cannot avi
yourselves of this distinctive fe
ture so entirely in any other ma
