The GREAT WEsr.-It is but little while since
the West began. Many men yet living can remember
when this great valley was u wilderness, and the
Mississippi desoation, navigated by canoes and
fishes only; when Detroit, Louisville, St. Loais,
and Cincinnati, were not, and when New Orleans was
but small settlement. Within the last few years
the West has burst out with an amazing quantity OF
products, which have overwhelmed the places and
of transportation and the markets OF sale, and
yet it is quite evident that all this is but the prcpara-
ton for the beginning. This nineteenth century is
the only century which seems TO have done the world
any good in the way of arts and 1t is but
hfIy-three years since the first cotton was shipped
from this country. packed in few old surar hogs
heads, and now 1t leads the commerce of the world.
The lead which comes down the Mississippi, has
already closed the mines of the old world from whence
our supplies formerly came and in oils the Western
hog is running hard competition with the whale, and
the olive tree Hemp and wool Will very SION, it Is
evident, be articles of large exportation that in
these two great articles also, we shall change our
attitude from that of buyers to that of sellers.


In the transit of produce down and merchandise up
the Mississippi, there has hitherto been great conu
sion damage and loss, from the want of system and
suitable accommodations The ship and the steamer
ofen far apart, making heavy expenses of dray
age the mud of the levce and the rains damaged the
packages and often the goods. The trouble of sending
grain was very great and when brought In the form
of flour and meal, it half of it sour. A remedy
for all this has been commenced, we are glad to
know, in the creation Of vast warehouses the oppo-
site side of the river from New Orleans, where
cargoes may be discharged and taken in under cover
with despatch and at small expense. One warehouse
has eady been erected 657 feet in length and 12O
i'll GePth with sufficient wharf room for two or three
ships and as many steamboats,. Here is room to put
grain in bags to sort and arrange cargoes, and in gen.
era to reduce broad chaos into efficient order. The
wheat of the valley, with such accommodations, may
may be brought safely to New York and Boston,
where mills of unsurpassed excellence and viii be
erected, and the cites and neighborhood supplied in
bags, with important saving of expense and trouble
This new state of things, we have reason to know,
has attracted the attention of the ever-watchful
Bostonians. Of course, business vast that of
the Mssissipp must and will organize for itself all
the accommodations which necessary to It's
journal Of Commerce.
