aud citizens may, with a few unimportant exceptions,
now purchase and take away whatever their i*eceasi
ties require, and I feel satisfied that the disposition to
do all that may be done to bring about once more a
normal and healthy condition of trade will not be
wanting. Cotton owners may rest assured that it 1*
now perfectly safe (bo far at least as any interference
on the part of the Government is concerned) for them
to bring la and dispose of their cotton, The fullest
protection will be guaranteed, upon its arrival In Sa
vannah, and such other protection and safe conduct as
the Agent may be able to obtain for cotton in transitu
will be freely afforded
It is hoped that before long enterprise will open np
better and safer means of communication with, and
transportation to, Savannah from the interior than
now exists. In the meantime, and until that takes
place, owners of Cotton at distant point-* desirous of
marketing it at Savannah, will doubtless be able to
devise temporary expedients for accomplishing that
