OrIuOcO.

Direct Trade with the Mississippi Valley,
the West indies and Valley of the
Orinoco.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
The last rail that connected the Atlantic
ports of the United States with the Mssis-
sippi river dispensed with the port of New
Orleans as necessary entrepot for reship-
ment of the imports and exports of the Mis-
sissippi valley.
This change of direction in the transit of
produce and productions has bailt the great
West, and has isolated New Orleans at
present from the enjoyment of commerce
! not easily to be diverted from its artificial
channel, the railroad Indicative of the en-
ergy and science of the capitalists of the
| East.
However, the geographical position OF
| New Orleans, as a point of reshipment and
market for the exchange OF commerce with
| the Mississippi valley, the West Indies and
| the Spanish Main has left US an unculti-
vated but richer and more ptnfi, CON-
merce, almost totally enioye4 D. foreign
| nations and shipping simply awal.,ng the
unfurling of our sails to prepare return
| cargoes in exchange for the produce and
manufactures of this valley, that we can
sunnlv in cor,net;tion With any ,a+;o, of
| the earth.
To effect the Inauguration of this trade
and to bring about at least an experimental
dash for it, the Mississippi and Ornoco
Company has been incorporated at ST Louis
