Next to New Orleans, Savannah is the Southern city which exports most largely.--The network of railways running west from Savannah is completed as far as Montgomery, Ala., and is on the point of being finished to Vicksburg, on the Mississippi, more than 680 miles from Savannah. On the north, the railways extend as far as Memphis, Tenn., a distance of about 900 miles; on the South, they extend to the State frontier, where they join the Florida lines, and a junction with Mobile, Ala, will soon be effected. "To the main line running west, through the heart of the cotton region, are connected different branch lines. N. W. and S. W.

heir destination, instead of going out of their way through Liverpool and New York. "The employment of transatlantic steamers becomes a necessity to the commercial relations of great exporting or importing countries. Bills of lading, insurance policies, drafts and letters of exchange, cotton samples, &c., are forwarded by steamer. The foundation, at precisely the moment they were required, of steam lines between New York and Liverpool, greatly aided to develop the commerce between Great Britain and the United States. Liverpool on one side, and New York on the other, became great commercial centres. English merchants already perceive that the withdrawal of the Southern States has deprived New York of her influence over the exports and imports of those States, and all their efforts will now be directed in the latter quarter.

But since the Southern States have sunof the movement, profit by the advantages of priority? In order to accomplish this, permit me to suggest that the law authorizing the establishment of a line from Havre to New York be modified or amended so as to impose upon the steamers the obligation of proceeding directly from Havre to Savannah, Georgia, and that the projected line from Havre to the West Indies be prolonged, so as to include New Orleans.

"During the winter months, when trade is most active, when immense quantities of cotton and tobacco arrive from the Southern States, the ports of the Baltic are closed by ice, while those of France remain open and accessible. "Before the discovery of the telegraph the entire correspondence between Europe and North America was transported by the steamer running between Liverpool and New York, and largely contributed to the profits of the companies. But now that the telegraph transmits the most important news, before the arrival of the steamers at their destination, the rapid transportation of mail matter has become far less a necessity.

Direct trade with the South. The Hon. T. Butler King, one of the Commissioners to Europe from the Southern Confederacy, has published a pamphlet detailing the advantages of a direct trade with the South to European powers, and urging the establishment of steamship lines from Savannah and other ports in the South. Some of the salient points in the argument of the honorable gentleman are embraced in the extracts which follow: "We hope to be able to demonstrate," writes Mr. King, in a rapid review of the question, the necessity of establishing, with as little delay as possible, a direct line of transatlantic steamships between France and the Confeder at least two millions of bales of cotton, large quantities of flour and grain, tobacco, timber, and immense stocks of export products of every species." Mr. King then gives a minute description of the geographical situation of Savannah, depth of water in the river, means of approach and lading of large vessels, &c. Simila
