MARCH 24. 18CC. The Steamship Ltacs to the South. TnB3 waa a time when ThUadjlphla w w the It nding port id this country, when nor merchants coinrmuiled the (-lima tnde, and when the nio.it mariiitleont ships s died oat or our hnrbor and sailed back , again from fur thest Ind, laden with the spoils of the East. But how have we fallen from that high estate I "We doubt if there is a Blngle ship trading dii ectly between this place and Canton, Nan kin, or Tedo. . And yet It may bo asked why Boston, and New York should, in the course Of time, have taken from us the trade which WO once monopolized? There is but one answer to that question, and it might as -wel be given now, without hesitation or rese ve Tlio first merchants of Philadelphia were great men in. their vocation. They were princes in their generation, like the mar chants of ancient Tyre. They were men o ' enlarged views, liberal enterprise, adventu reus . disposition, and far-seeing sagacity Their id-as of commercs were cot limited by any "pent-up Utica," but lookjd freely abroad to the extremities of the earth and embraced tha whole world. They are remem bered yet as giants in their day, and not with out regret by those who witness the decline of mercantile spirit here, and compare what Is with what was. It is pcrh aps too late to recover our lost ground entirely. The cities which have stolea along march on us in the race for metro politan influence, power, and wealth, are not likely to permit the sceptre to pa3s away from them. But It is yet pou'ibl to make Phila delphia a most import-ant aalpto-iperous port both as respects f-reigu aal domestic com merce. Tue movemaat to establish four separate lines of steamships to connect this city with as many leading ports of the South la a step la the ri;;b.t direction. There Is true wisdom in beginning at home, aud trying to concentrate at this point t!i3 traJe aud travel of the Southern States. When that u accom plished in some considerable decree it, will ba time enough to think of starting steamships from this port 10 Liverpool, Southampton, and Havre. There is a natural and logical cider in commercial enterprise, as in almost very other business of 1 1'e; and itjseems to us ibat the command ol a largo part of our cu'n coastwise trad:? and travel is a ueces3ary precedent to any attempt to control a payinsj portion ot the trade aud travel between any American port and those of Europe. With the two resources combined, Hues ot steain fcliips will pay lart'e profits and be perma nently pros'p rous. Those of our merchants, therefore, who have been so industriously engaged in raising the necessary money to establish four sepa rate linos of propellers, to run be tvveen Philadelphia and Wilmington, Charles ton bavanuah, and New Orleans, have Icon exciting their energies In the light direciion, and they have succeeded in getting six hundred and thirty thousand dollars subscribed in behalf of the project1 'J hey want three hundred a id seventy thou sand dollars moxe to make up a million, which is the total sum required to consummate the enterprise on the scale that is deemed neces sary to realize the full benefits of the trade which our , position will, with proper means to secure it, unquestionably command. Our merchants aud manufacturers should net delay to supply the deficit. They have the lest possible guarantee that they wld receive a handsome interest on the capital invested,' while the advantages , they will reap from the increased domand la tha Southern States for their merchandise and products, by means of the proposed steam ships, will greatly exceed the dividends on tLtlr shares in the stock ot the company. We can count on the fingers of one of our bands the manufacturers who have interest enough in opening direct trade with the South to put the present project through at once, and who have wealth enough to do it with out feeling incouvenlence from the tempo rary loan they would make to carry out an undertaking that must, if consummated, most certainly and largely benefit and aggraudizo them. Put public spirit should have some part In this business, sjelllsh cupidity clone cught to rai.se the needed funds in less than twenty-four hours; aud we are surprised that individual merchants and manufacturers, who are immediately and chiefly concerned in twining direct intercourse and commerce with the Southern States, do not come forward uiJt-olicitcd with their capital, and build all the vesath that rre needed for the purpose. Put, outside of those who are moved to take part in such enterprises only by motives of private infer tst, there are thousands of rich citizens hero, who are out of micantilo and manufacturing pursuits, and all sorts of busi ness, who have yet a local pride that ought to impel them to r'sk some portion of their im mense lortunes to build up the prosperity of the city of th!r residence and adoption, or of their birth. Nor are rich men interested in the commercial prosperity of Philadelphia ouly as citizens. They are, for tho most part, more or less diroetly interested in lu material and commercial growth. They are, in. fact, men who have much of their private U rnnea invested in its real estate; and what ever tfnds to increase its population, attract cnpl 1 brie, and B.lmulate its industry, must greatly enhance the value of their property ii nd swell their revenues Jrom it, whethor in bcf lam of rents or otherwise. On the whole, the present movement t optn direct trade between the leading Southern ports and Philadelphia niust, if car ried out successfully, benefit all classes of the people ; and all should, therefore, conti ibule to the extent of their ability in promoting tho final and coropleto accomplishment of the undertaking. Time is valuable in such a matter, and none should be lost by indecision and tempoilzing. Let our people remember that while they delay, other aro reaching out their hands to grasp the p. Ize. ' A Move In fie Rislit Direction. We observe Jn some of the New York papers a call for a meeting upon a subject of more than ordinary Interest to tho travelling pub lic. A number of the princ'pal hotel proprie tors are about to pcrtect measures for reduc ing the charges per diem In their various establishments. During the progress of the war and since its close, boarding at hotels has been a tax on travellers which low were either willing or able to undergo. Tho con sequence was, that the merchants of the West remained at home, and bought goods in small lots at tho most convenient point at which they could be procured. Necessarily this decreased the trade of the seaboard cities, and the enormous prices charged by the hotel keepers acted 8s a sort of a prohibitive mea sure or embargo upon the prosperity and growth of our commercial centres. It was also a ruinous policy for the hotel-keepers themselves, but at present there is no excuse for the extortionate prices which have ruled (or the past four years. Gold has rapidly declined, and will soon touch ante-war rates. From the enor mous premium of 285, it bos surely and steadily declined until yesterday it could be bad in 'I hird street for 127. Every commodity and necessary of lite is following gold in its decline. It is time that hotel-keepers and boarding house proprietors had discovered this deeply interesting fact. House rents are not very likely to come down as long as real estate agents can induce owners to keep them for sale. Largo numbers of persons are obliged by the exigencies of business to pass considerable portions ot their time at hotels, and they will hear with satisfaction that the prospect of a reasonable decrease ot their ex penditures is probable. Could not our Phi ladelphia hotel-keepers make a movement in the same direction? CITY INTELLIGENCE .For Additional Local Items see Third Page. rEIBENTATION TO A ClEBGYMAN. A de liplitl'uJ reunion ot tho cotiaregatlon ot the West Arch Street I'reso.y tenau Chuvcu, and tno friends ot Uev.

TLe atiair was a complete surprise, and re flected great credit upon the parties lufercoteJ, andttio pleasant incidents of the evening will cot socn be lorgottcn by tho participants. A Tlbbllent C'nABACTEB. Frederick rianifan, who keps a tavern at Crease and Thompson ftreets, got into a quarrel last night with a number of men who had been in his house.
