NEW ORLEANS, SATURDAY., SEPTEMBER 6, 1878.
Commenced Looking Up.

On Thursday there arrived at this port
| two of the largest class Of sailing ships
that are able to cross the bar-the ship
Screamer, from Philadelphia, of 1900 tons.
| and drawing nineteen feet of water; also
the ship Western Empire, from Rio Janeiro,
in ballast. Besides these two recent ar
rIyais there are several large ships now
overdue The Scresmer is already Char
tered to load tobacco, and no doubt the
Western Empire will take up' in q &ew
days.
After reading tie following report o1
Captain Samuel Harding, chief surveyor of
Bureau Neritas in the United States, in re-
gard to the ship building going on at pres
eIt no one can say but that the commerce
OF our country is fast reviving. From New
York eastward there are building upward
OF s., 900 tons of wooden vessels: then New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland are
constructing 1900 tons more; making IN
all 100, 600 tons of ships, barks, brigs and
schooners that will be afoat before the end
OF the year. In the city Of Bath, Maine,
there are employed upon the shipping l400
mechanics of all classes, the average rate of
wages being from g. so to s. so per day OF
ten hours. At ST. Johns, New Bruins wick,
there are forty-fve vessels, of from 80 to
1900 tCas, on the stocks, and about the
same number building in Nova Scotia. The
vessels building in the United States are
all frst-class in every respect, and viii add
much to the standing Of the merchant ma
rlne. 3D.. Ell
Iron ship building is also steadily on the
increase. On the Delaware alone there are
u course of construction no less than four
teen first class ships of from l40O to 5000
A large portion of these vessels, built
east Of New York, are intended for the
Southern trade; and, if the inlanders will
put their shoulders to the wheel to in
creas the production as fast as ships in
crease our levee will be three tier deep a
large portion of the year, with as fine
feet Of ships as plow the ocean, and that
without a dollar advanced directly from
either the merchant or the planter of the
South. All the ship owners and ship build
ers ask is that we produce such as the soil
will yield, and they viii furnish tranporta-
