jrwlucUon, then Carolina Houses in Kiiglaml,
must be ready with the capital and credit to
purchase goods for our merchants here and
wait the returns. If, on the contrary, there is
nn unproduction of manufactured goods, they
should be prepared to make ad vances to manu.
factures, and others holding stocks, and send
the aoods to Charleston for sale.
To facilitate these operations, the intelligent
and well directed aid of our Banks is indis
pensable. From the moment when the manu
factured article passes out of the hands of the
producer in Hurope. until it is paid for by the
consumer in this country, occupies necessari-
a considerable period of time, and if left to
the unaided ability of a limited capital, such a
business must wither and die. To\hose there
fore, who possess the intelligence and enter
prise, the Banks must lend the assistance of
their capital. Foreign capital is sure to do its
j, ar t our Mercantile Houses established in
England will get a liberal credit upon goods,
and”be enabled to allow to the importers here
a reasonable time in which to make their re
mittances. Here, the Banks should interfere,
and by discounting the bills receivable of the
Wholesale Merchant, payable throughout the
neighboring States, enable him to realize
promptly from his goods, meet punctually his
engagements, and complete the article that
shall reinstate the funds in England.
Regular and quick intercourse with Eng
land is absolutely indispensable to our success,
and I believe that a line of steam packets be
tween Charleston and some eligible point in
threat Britain, would advance our city a quar
ter of a centuary in its career of greatness.
New York is now the centre of intelligence in
this country —the sun of the mercantile system
that diffuses light throughout its whole extent.
One element of her greatness is the rapid com
munication with the old world, by which she
receives always the first and best information
of every chance that affects the value of mo.
nev, merchandise, or produce ; hence she re
gulates prices in all the other markets of the
Union. A line of steam packets from Charles
ton, would bring with it many, if not all of the
advantages, that are now likely to accrue to
New-York alone from this wide field of profit
and of honor.
The influence of our banking institutions,in
furthering the great and patriotic objects, in
the success of which you have displayed so
much zeal and energy, I have already alluded
to. lam proud to believe that some of our
city Banks have already shown the way* and
are anxious to go still further in the good cause.
But there is an institution in embryo that will
almost hold, at its disposal, the merits of the
whole question. 1 allude to the great Rail
Road Bank. With a Rail Road to bring the
productions of our sister States to the Atlantic
ports,and Branches of a parent Bank at Char
leston, to furnish the means of sending them to
Charleston, or to New York, it will be for that
Bank to determine which of these cities shall
get the preference of the great trade.
I must apologise for occupying so much of
your time—instead of a letter, 1 find that 1
have written a rhapsody, but the subject so
teems with interesting thought, that 1 fear you
will find me tedious, even in the enumeration.
I am, my dear sir, your friend and very
humble servant,
G. A. TRENHOLM.
Charleston, July 8, 1838.
Dear Sir — l had the pleasure to receive
vour letter of the 6th inst. also your circular
and the accompanying documents, all of which
1 have received with attention. 1 cordially
unite with you in the wish to have Charleston
and other Southern ports more extensively en
gaged in direct importations from Europe, and
without expecting any of them to become a
rival to New York, there can be no doubt that
they ought to import direct a larger proportion
of what is consumed in the South and South
Western States. Os the extent of this con
sumption I think there has been an over-esti
mate, incurred in part by a view of the magni
tude of our exports to that quarter, and partly
from overlooking the circumstance of the po
pulation being very scattered, which, by in
creasing the expense of transportation, causes
people in the interior to depend on their do
mestic resources, besides the slaves, who con- '
stitute a large part of that population, may be
said to be non-consumers of European, pro
ducts.
It must also be kept in view, that to carry on
advantageously an extensive import trade, a
large money capital is requisite, and you are
well aware that the accumulations by com
merce in the Southern States, are generally
withdrawn from it and invested in lands and
negroes, or else with the possessor, are car- \
l ied off.
But as you may think lam more apt to
point out obstacles than to suggest correctives, :
1 have to express my approbation, of what you
say of having package sales by auction, and I
think it would be still better if they could lie
held at stated periods, and never until there
was a sufficient quantity and variety to make
it an object for the purchasers from a distance
to attend.
In the Southern States where there being a
want of trading capital the suggestion made by
Mr, McDuffie,that the consumers should make
their purchases for cash, I think a very impor
taut one. If they could be brought to con
form to it, the consumers themselves would not
only save at least a double rate of interest paid
for the credits they get, but they would enable
the merchants from whom they purchase, to
purchase from importers on better terms, and
by quickening the movement of what touching
capital there is, make it more efficient.
The inclination evinced of late years by our
voting men for commercial pursuits,is favora
ble to our European trade; some,it is proba
ble, tnay go to Europe and form establishments
there, which, in connexion with partners here,
will carry on business more advantageously
than when there is no unity of interest. The
'•ontemplated mil road to connect us with the
valley of the Mississippi, will certainly be a
vast outlet for our foreign importations, and
with an increased demand, there will soon fob
low a corresponding supply.
With great respect, I remain vour obd’t.
serv’t.
_ JAMES LAMB.
To Col. A. P. Hayne, Chairman of
Col. Committee of Augusta Convention.
Charleston. June 30, 1539.
Dear Sir—l have read with much pleasure
and interest* the papers which you were so
kind as to place in my hands, and us requesied
by you, 1 have given every attention in my
power to the subject to which they relate ; one
which is of such deep importance to the Ag
ricultural sections of the country. The South
produces what is used in exchange for Foreign
commodities, and she certainly should not al
low herself to be heavily taxed by the North,
for receiving the returns of her own produc
tions, at all events to the extent of her own
consumption—-she has unfortunately allowed
tills branch of trade, (the importation of what
she requires,) over which she never should
have relinquished the control, to pass into
other hands, as much to her detriment as to
their disadvantage. It is a matter of great dif
ficulty to divert trade from the course in which
it has been managed ; but the situation of af
fairs at this time, when arrangements that did
exist have been broken up, and when new ones
must be entered into, affords us the opportuni
ty, bv a proper use of the means we possess,
of occupying that station to which our local
advantages entitle us. With the money re
ceived for our Cotton, we purchase what we
require of foreign manufacture, which can be
brought to us at as low a freight as it can be
taken to New York—why then should we
allow ourselves to be taxed with the expenses
incurred in New York, together with the ad
ditional freight ?
I have examined the notes prepared by you
in the fall and winter of 1836 and 1837, at
New Orleans. The people of Mobile were at
a loss in the spring of 1837, to know how the
then growing crop of Cotton was to be pur
chased, so entirely was all credit prostrated—
the people at the North apprehending that this
difficulty would reduce prices very low, and
that in consequence it vvo'jM be a favorable
point at which to make investments, concen
trated funds at Mobile, by purchasing pSper
payable in Alabama at large discounts, and by
allowing the funds collected for goods sold by
them, to remain there. In this way the de
posites in bank became heavier than they ever
before bad been ; the amount of money (such
as it teas') in the place, prevented prices from
declining; on the contrary, it caused them to
advances and the money being already in the
place, was invested at higher prices than would
have been paid for Cotton, as an operation
from which advantage was expected to be de
rived, The circumstance caused the rates of
exchange to advance, and at one time it was
20 or 23 per cent. prem. on New-York, and
25 per cent. prem. on London ; in preference
to submitting to a positive loss by such rates of
exchange, those compelled to make remittan
ces, purchased Cotton for the purpose, even at
the risk of suffering still greater loss, as prices
advanced in fully as great a proportion as ex
change. This is applicable perhaps to Mobile
alone, being the point at which it was thought
prices would be lowest; which circumstance
caused so much money to be concentrated
there, and which could not be removed without
a great sacrifice.
I can illustrate the case cited in your notes,
of the risk being doubled by the indirect ne
gotiation of exchange, viz : —an order is re
ceived from a Liverpool house for a shipment
of Cotton, and for your reimbursement, you
are authorized to draw bills as soon as you
can complete the shipment, and furnish Bills
Lading—Cotton is paid for almost as soon as
purchased, some time is required to enable you
to complete the purchases and obtain Bills
Lading. You have a letter of credit from a
bouse in New-York, obtained perhaps for the
very purpose of supplying yourself with the
funds necessary to pay for your purchases—
you draw a draft against this letter of credit,
at 15, 20 or 30 per cent. dist. As soon as
your Invoices are completed and Bills Lading
signed, you forward them and draw your bills
on the Liverpool house, remit them to the
New York house to be negotiated, and desire
the proceeds to be applied to the payment of
your draft drawn against the letter of credit—
your bill on Liverpool is disposed of forthwith;
before your draft on New York is at maturity,
the acceptor fails, and the holder marks you
responsible, and at the same time your liabili
ty for the bill on Liverpool remains until it is
paid.
You have already possessed yourself of so
much information in regard to the advantages
to be derived from direct importations, and
the direct negotiation of Exchanges, that I
fear you will not be able to make any additions
from my letter. I return you herewith the
papers you were so kind as to loan me, and I
remain, dear sir, yours, verv respectfully,

MACON:
Saturday Morning, September 18, 1838.
{tCr Our city is beginning to wear more an appear
ance of business ; small quantities of cotton are coming
into market. The crops, in many places, we learn, are
seriously damaged by the drought. It commands from
10J to II cents.
ty The weather continues dry. No rain has fallen
since last Tuesday week. The mornings and evenings
are quite cool, but very sultry and warm during the day.
We are informed, that the Ochmulgee is much lower
than it has been for many years.

It will be remembered, that the third annular eclipse

Beginning at 2 26

It will be the last central eclipse of the Sun, visible in
the United States, until that of May 26,1854 —which
will be, also, annual. The next total eclipse of the Sun
will be on the 7th of August, 1864.

on the defensive, but quits his native swamps ami fast

dictive and unrelenting murderous strife against the in
nocent and unprotected. We bear of many murders
in our own State, more than an hundred miles from the

superiority in this mode of warfare, their hundreds of
