having to depend entirely upon it lew rich
moil—-perhaps leagued t'igutlior—lor their
supplies, they have a multitude of merchants
to sol cot from; llioy go into a town and lind
competition--consoqunntlv, goods cheap.
Such is tho case; and it is notorious Hint
goods nre remarkably elienp nt all the points
supplied hy these steam rs. .Such aro some
few ol I ho benefits already lolt. Who can
foresee their futuro extent? In a short
time, our business will justify another lino
m t>f steamers or more vessels in this trade.
^ Competition will arise, tiansportniion will
bo cheaper. 11 it instead of hoaping coals
of lire on the heads of Harris & Morgan,
■is hydra-headed monsters, wo should at
least give them credit for being enterpris-
ing and bold business men, who carry out
thoir undertakings. Instead ni their boats
being "o/i/ rotten hulkx" they aro (except
tho Portland) vossols ucuounte(t* aworthy.
" "Til6' fttfrrTcTto"nitrfW as onoof tho finest
steamers oil the Ciulf, mid lias a commander
worthy of public confidence. The (ialves-
ton, though not Iktr equal, is a lino boat.—
Tho Yacht is a favorite criill wherever
known; remarkable both for speed and
safety. Tlio Globe is an old boat, but sound
j anJ seaworthy. They are also building
two n.nv steiui ts. Tho (J ílveston lias
lately been overhauled in Now York, and
the Palmetto is now tliero uticlergoing re-
pairs. Bit experience is the tc t after all.
When did II irris iV M irg.in lose a boat or
cargo? N'it sinec they have ran to Mata-
gorda Bav? W: now get news in three
days from New Orleans—formerly, in ten,
twelve, fifteen and twenty. We wero for-
merly deprived of nnnv luxuries, as oran-
ges, potatoes, and divers perishable, fruits
and vegetables; now we h .vo thorn as fresh
as the people* of N :w Orleans have tlieui.
1 h ive said notluii - about Ciillinipp: r II ir,
n<>r Indian I'uiut 15 ir—nothing about a town
below all the bar-i. by whieli lighterage and
tlelays would be avoided; I have merely
tried frankly to show that nil these whole-
sale tirades of Billingsgate against these
men are unjust, and designed, if successful,
not to benefit the people, but to injure them.
They spring from wrong notions of thing.--.
A great ell' .rt was not long since, made to
get up nil opposition line, but the people
saw the design was n it toben ■ iil coiouieree
or the public, but to foster a badly shoaled
town. They would not take li >lil. .Time
is doing all that is necessary. < > ¡r trans-
portation facilities .are increasing fmely,—
We shall have tn ire steamers ns soon ns ii
will pay—not before. Now, I am told these
men (Harris & .\lorg .n) are, after nil, very
clever follows, that they nre both highly
esteemed in Now Orleans and New V irk,
nnd have warm friends wherever they are
I happen to know Mr. Il .rris
jitl am proud to esteem him ns
Tot 1 do not say litit that a
rcluJten, or even a hundred instances,
in iv he pointed out, wli to passi ngors have
been rudely treated on th ■ boats. A. m iy
complain ol one thing, and 13. of another,
ntld often j islh; but who expects to be
faulted over by ollicers of it steandioat?—
Are they worse than other lines? Show
mo a line of steamers, schooners, slng<
even wagons, wh
j tlio liar ut nil times lie supplied with tho most
choteo wines nnd Hqiior.i. No gntii'-s of uuv

Apparent or real wrings will arise. Ii it I
consider Harris &. Al irgin, in comparison

kissed the foot at another point on this buy,

fend some men, whose feelings 1 should be
far from wounding—men who nre honora-

posite to those above .slated. Of nil such I
beg pardon. If 1 have in real substance
