Inefe mas been q great ueal OF speculation
INDUCED In OF late In regard to the
restoration OF our trade with Mexico. the West
Indies and South America. but nothing has
come out OF this controversy which is of any
practicable benefit, as far as the general eye can
perceive. But We rejoice to learn that some Of
our merchants have gone quietly TO work, with
q fair prospect OF developing a trade with
Mexico. which will no doubt rebound to their
advantage.
MesHrs. Schmidt Il zeigler, one of the largest
wholesale grocery houses in the South, sent out
several months ago one Of their agents TO our
sister republic" They are enterprising men
and seeing that business here was dull and up-
remunerative. generally considered. sent an
emissary to Mexico, to the capital. Vera Cruz,
Tnxpan, Tampeo and Matamoros, and the re-
suit Ia thai they have received large orders for
goods. which go forward by the steamship
which leaves here on the frat of February. The
fact Id, our merchants must look beyond their
noses--to the fertile and productive countries
lying south Of us. to which years ago they sent
supplies and which are now lost to them owing
TO the superior enterprise. advantages and ta-
cilities offered by Eastern cities, such as New
York. Baltimore. etc.
They should. % our friends Messrs. Schmidt
4 ziegler have done. direct their attention and
energies to the revival Of the trade with south
ern portions of this continent. which formerly
cast Into our lap a mine of wealth and made
fortunes for many Of our citizens. We hail
with the greatest pleasure the departure of a
steamship from this port ladened with goods
supplied by our merchants. for Vera Cruz and
other Mexican cities. and cannot but regard the
circumstance as the forerunner Of a trade with
Mexico, which will lead many of our mercantile
friends on to fortune.
