FACT AGAINST DEFAMATION. We have new
er seen the miserable sophstry of the anti-tariff
writers and decIamers more fairly met by facts
that would silence all camor, if some people
did not clamor for the mere sake of notorietv,
than in the following brief statement from the
Charleston Courier.
One public declaimer has told the cotton
planter (good easy man) that if he makes
100 bales of cotton, it will take 60 of them
to meet the grievous burthens which the
northern manufacturers have heaped upon
us. 1t would have been more alarming ifhe
had said that the whole crop would be taken,
leaving nothing to reward the planter for his
tolls. The one assertion would have been
just as true as the other. To this anti-tar
| if man, however, | acknowledge my obll-
gation-he has descended to something like
| specification, and we are enabled to test
! the accuracy of his statement. lie says
| that go per cent. of our cotton crop is taken
to paw the tax imposed upon us. Let every
planter, whether he makes 100 bales of cot
/ ton, more or less, and who does not mean
to he laughed at for his credulity, nay |
might say idiocy, look at the following plain
and unanswerable statement, and then give
the lie to the assertion.
makes 100 bales of cotton must have about
30 working negroes, or 20 of every descrlp-
ton. These negroes must now be, as they

Tariff Acts. that is before 1894, he gave for

we were induced to buy homespun at %

for those articles, when imported from Eng

before the Tariff S270 or $50, we are COM

of these articles.

INTELLIGENCE.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

The Russian army has at length passed
the Danube. The passage, which bad been
long delayed on account of the extraordl-
nary rise of the waters, was effected on the
morning of the 9Th of June. The Danube
was crossed under the fire of three Turkish
batteries advantageously posted, but which
before midday were in possession of the
Russians. On the 18th of June bridge
over the Danube was completed, and the
Turkish fortress of Isaktcha capitulated.
The Augsburgh Gazette gives letters of
the 9Th of June from Semlin, which state,
that on the Cd the garrison of Braila made
sortie, and took 500 Russian prisoners !;
they were Immediately beheadcd. The
garrison of Braila, it is added, having been
reinforced, now consists of 5000 men.
PARIS, June "A. According to accounts
from Smyrna, all the young men of 25 years
of age, and under, had received orders 10
march to Constantinople. The mass of the
population able to bear arms, it was antici-
pated, would be called out.
CONsTANTINoPLE, May 81. The troops
which have left the Capital for the Danube
were reviewed both by Hussein Pacha,
and the Grand Seignior himself, who caus
ed presents to be distributed to them. and
said on leaving them, conduct yourselves
bravely-I shall follow you soon' The
hopes of the Porte repose on these troops,
although it is well known that the active
army of the Russians consists of 100000
men, and their reserve of 10000, while the
Turks have scarcely $4,000 including those
IN garrison. Nevertheless, the Ottoman pride
does not allow them to doubt of the victory
for moment. The operations of General
Paskewitch in the province of Erzerum
alarm the Porte more than those of the ar
my OF the Danube, because it is known that
the former Janissaries, the greater part of
whom were eXlled to that province, have
organized revolt A irman has been
read in the mosques, calling the population
to the defence of their county. The heads
of % Russians killed at Braila, have been
exposed before the Seraglio. The Black
Sea IS shut to all flags, but it is remarkable
that the Porte has recently permitted two
Russian ships to pass the Bosphorus, for
Odessa
The Seraskier has received orders to
march with a part of the troops assembled

Albanlans; 10000 Bosnacks; 10000 Ro-

total $4,000 trained in the ancient system.
OF this number 10000 only can be spared
to make face against the Russians, and Of
these some are required for the garrisons
on the Danube.

We have already given an account of the

THE WEST. While the North and the South
are contcnding for the right and power TO gov
ern, each the other, new party, like the Fox
in the fable, is fast growing up 70 usurp the
right of governing both. Their territory is al
most boundess, and the increase OF population
be- ond all parallel. Here is large and fruit
full field for the specuations of wise men upon
the economy of nations, and their reflections
may be matured and assisted by the following
statement of some of the facts in the case.
Speaking Of the present power of the West, the
Newark, (Ohio) Gazette makes the annexed
calculations
Fifty years ago there were no English
west of the mountains In 1890 the whole
population in the Western States and Ter
ritories, was less than 100000. Now it is
about 4,000,OC0. In 10 years the increase
has been not far from 100 per cent. The
Western States contain inhabitants on a
square mile. The number of persons to a
square mile in Massachusetts is 20.
Allowing the ratios of increase to be less
as the country grows older, it will be a
moderate calculation to say that in 1850, the
Western States will possess more numer-
GUS population than the three other divis-
ions of the United States.
When the population shall he as dense
as Massachusetts, they will contain &c, $780,
eco. Allowing one soldier to inhabitants,
the military force will be 5.260,0CO. AS the
unorganized part of the Western country
is not taken into this calculation, we may
safely calculate that the population at the
period referred to, will be more than
4O,OCO,O0O.
Under the present regulations, every
40,OOO send a representative to Congress.
The Western States now send 46. In 1850
Regulations continuing the same) they will
send 268. The northern, middle, and south
ern states send 10. According to the best
calculations that have been made, the in
crease of those three divisions will not en-
title them to 268 representatives. Electors
for President and Vice President are chos-
en- on the same principle. Thus in little
more than 20 years, we shall govern the
United States, and in 80 years the power of
the Western States will be overwhelming.
While this generation is alive, the govern
ment of the United States will be just what
the Western States are disposed 10 make
it. At the contemplated period, the militia
ny force of the Western States will be
greater than the Emperor of Russia can
bring into the field. How important that
science and virtue should shed their light
over this great valley of the Mississippi, and
prepare our citizens to place such men at
the heads of department, as shall save the
nation from political shipwreck.

The Petersburgh Gazette remarks. that
the difficulties and dangers in crossing the
swollen and rapid Danube, were much
greater than described in the Bulletin.
Two regiments of Cossacks crossed in
boats, the men holding their horses which
swain over Gen Alexis Orloff fell into The
river, and was saved by Cossack. who
seized him by the hand, and pulled him on
the bridge.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. As small
party of ladies' and gentlemen on Thursday
morning were returning from ride upon
the beach, in passing through Warren's
farm, horse took fright and overset the
chaise in which he was harnessed throw
ing out two ladies who were in it with such
violence that one of them was almost in
stantly killed, and the other considerably
injured. The young lady who has thus met
an untimely and melancholy death, was
Miss Sally c. Robbins, the only daughter
Of Capt. Samuel Robbins.
CAUTION. We learn that man by the
name of Backus, in West Barnstable, last
week, carelessly carrying naked scytbe
under his arm, made mis-step and fell
upon the blade, and was SO severely injur-
ed as to survive the accident but one hour.
We hope this will be a sufficient admoni-
ton to haymakers to see that their scythes
are securely sheathed.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. We understand
that, short time since, little child between
one and two years of age, at Emira, in this
county, crept out of the house unnotced by its
parents. and sat down upon the ground a short
distance from it, and while playing with pair
of shears the little speechless innocent mad its
attention arrested by the appearance Of rat
tlesnake, and not aware Of any danger, the
child struck the animal with the shears-he
coiled and sung by the infants side--the child
gazed with the greatest intensity upon the
beautiful though venomous reptile--and for
a long time, as the child repeated the strokes,
the serpent would hiss and rattle, without at
tempting in the least to injure the child. The
snake was between and feet in length.

REMARKABLE COMBUSTION. few days ago
am inhabitnnt of this village placed a piece of
canvass of about forty yards upon stable roof
exposed to the sun. and painted it over with
one covering Of white lead and oil. The day
had been intensely warm. and towards evening
shower arose, upon which the canvass was
hastily rolled or bundled up and placed in the
bottom of wagon under the shed, and left
throughout the night. The next morning
smoke was seen rising from the wagon, and
upon closer examination it was found That the
whole of the canvass, excepting about one
square yard. was burnt so as to crumble to
pieces, and hole burnt in the bottom Of the
wagon about the size Of dinner plate. There
is no assignnblo cause for this extraordinary
event come to our knowledge, but we are con-
strained to attribute it TO spontaneous combus.
