If we sit still calling upon, and waiting for
Hercules to help us, we will never move for
ward step. The life of every town and city
consists in the energy and enterprise of itf
citizens, and the moment apathy overtakes
them, the moment they conclude to stop all
efforts to advance and rely implicitly upon
natural advantages, that moment they are
doomed
We commend the following, which we clip
from the Brashear Neaos of the Oath, to the
careful perusal of our readers:
Pioneer Steamship Hutchinson-still Onward
and Upward = The New Line Opened
Direct Trade with New York.
Scarcely has any event in the history of
Brashear has been so fraught with real inter-
est to the business public as that occasioned
by the departure of the staunch steamship
Hutchinson, Capt. Talbot the pioneer YES
sci Of Morgans new line for New York, which
cast loose from her moorings at the lower
wharves on. Wednesday last, the 2lst inst, at
ten minutes past l o'clock, P. M. Once out
in the stream, the Hutchinson swung grace
fully round to the current, and proceeding
up the bay to the uppermost limits Of
the town, passed down along the
whole front with colors floating to
the freshening breeze on her outward bound
voyage, amid the cheers ofhundreds'of enthu-
siastic spectators who crowded the buildings
and wharyes along the water line of Front
street, while appropriate salutes were fred in
honor of the pioneer ship of this new and
important enterprise by direction of the town
authorities, and as the stately outline of mas
sive floating iron receded from view in her |
trackless course toward the blue waters of
The Gulf, many a silent fervent wish babe her |
godspe ed through the boundless waste to the |
port Of her destination.
The departure of this heavily freighted |
7essel may with propriety be considered the |
advent CT the future prosperity of our already |
growing town, and without exaggeration is
bright harbiDger of what no distant period |
nay BE- expected to unfold.
We believe it is not designed at first,
t leastJ during the summer months, to
onvey passengers in Morgan's new line of
between Brashear and New York
several of our merchants, foremost among
vhom may be mentioned Charles Miller, OF
he Post-Office, have sent out orders to New
'ork by the Hutchinson for merchandise, to
Q euIppco Oh HtT IetuTu Trip 10 DraSQear, |
lille o her dealers will hereafter ship their
loss, and other valuable products, direct to
ew York.
We are credibly informed that several of
ur most prominent planters contemplate
1ipping portion OF, if not their entire crops
sugar and molasses, to the new market
ade accessible by Morgans new line of
eamships.
The first shipment by the Hutchinson from
rashear was made by Mr.. o. Ditch, who has
ken the initiatory step in this important
lterprise. 4
The large, finely assorted cargo of the Hut
inson consisted of ten tons from Indianola,
KY tons from Galveston, fifty tons from g
'rpus Christi, twenty tons from Brazos San
'go, ten tons from Brashear, twenty-five Q
ns from New Orleans. Among the cargo n
IS fine lot of sugar from Mexico. 223 bales a
ton, al bales wool, so bales hides. ITO v
indies hides. 1900 loose hides. C
We are confident that our many readers will n
gard this, the first shipment to New York as fl
ghly encouraging to all who feel interested t.
the successful operations of this new trade. I
