The EFFECT OF THE TARIFF ON PRICEs.-
The following extract from Mr.. Webster's
late Speech which we omitted in those
which we gave some days ago, furnishes
some valuable facts:
A tariff does not necessarily increase
prices. The year after the present one was
established, many articles embraced in its
provisions were considerably lower than
they had before been. Here is a statement
respecting certain ones:
New YoRX, 9th November, lS43.

mise on Saturday last, now send you an annex.

ton Of iron seldom reached SO low o point as
$50 per ton. Since August, 1912, the price has
ranged from $40 to $75 per ton. Competition
among American manufactures (aded, probably
by low prices in Europe,) has reduced the prices
Of bar iron and nails in this country Prices Of
iron in Europe have been depressed in conse
quence Of our tariff, and consequently it is the
operation Of the tariff alone which now enables
the consumer to purchase these articles OF their
present reduced rates. have long been satisfied
that English iron, particularly, could be afforded
TO US even under the present tariff, the prices in
England being regulated rather by what the arti.
Gle would command here than the cost OF pro.
duction there. II this be true, that reduction OF
duties provided for by the compromise tariff,
went directly into the pockets Of foreign produ.
GERS.
Since writing the above, friend has furnished
me with the following facts relative to the prices
Of Scotch pig iron in this city, and also in Scot
land, in August 1912, and August 1843.
Say-in August 1912, the price in this city
was S25 per ton
In August 1913, the price in this city was
1923 so per ton.
Say-in August 1912, the price of the same
iron in Scotland was 60 15s per ton.
In August 1S43, il would be 60 per ton.
And ask any one if there is now any com
plant Of undue high prices in any article to
which the present tariff extends?
my love-" said lady to her husband,
with her mouth screwed up as if she had
been eating green persimmons full month,
"My love, will you condescend to hand me
those expungers, that | may eradicate the
extraneous matter from the luminary, that
it may shed forth its rays more effuIgenily."
my dear, your condescension is super
huous"

"Marm?"
"Tip the luminary."

"Snuf' the candle, you uench."

tending to have received the fifty dollar
note on which he was arrested from him,
and declaring his ability to prove it by
the Messrs. ELLIS, who were then absent,
we deem it an &C. of duty to publish their
contradiction, as follows:-
"Whereas, Thornton III. Freeman, late
Postmaster at Carrollton, No, when ar
rested by the Marshal for robbing the mail
stated to the Marshal that he could prove

which had been identified as one of the
bills taken from the mails, from John S.

THE "TERRAPIN SENATOR AGAIN.
Those who have read the speech Of the
Senator Of his party delivered here
short time ago will recollect that he stated
that the Legislature Of 1886 which was
democratic " devoted to the Literary Fund
TO accumulate for the benefi, of Free
Schools, ,@o millions Of dollars, the in
come Of which was afterwards to be paid
to the Counties according to the number
Of White children" and that ",he first
year the Wing politicians got majority,
though the Western people elected that
majority, the law was altered to be dis,rib.
u,ed according TO territory" aud tina, il
was again changed to /" federal population
by the Wing Legislature Of Is40." To
show 10 cur readers the ncorrectncss of
two Of these statements, we invite at.eu.

and he cannot get round them in no other
way but admitting his ignorance. And no
one can believe for a momen, tina, an in.

the whole Of the proceedings took place,

The inference then, must be apparent to

Great and Glorious Victory.
GEORELI FOR CLAY.

II is with pleasure we announce 10 our
readers this week, the unexpected. but not
the less grateful, intelligence, that the
Wings Of Georgia have succeeded in cleo
ting the GOVERNOR, A MAJORITY
IN BOTH BRANCHES OF THE LIE.
GISLArURE AND TWO MEMBERS
OF CONGRESS, thus securing the State
almost TO certainty, for "gallant Harry
of the West" in November, lsii. We are
the more gratifed at this result, from the
staggering and Boosting of the writer's Of
the Calhoun wing" that the State would
20 for their candidate by large majority.
But il seems that the people were unwilling
to place their confidence in man who had
q batch of Inconsistencies attached to him
Of intermlnable length, and who had never
changed one relation either "pcrsona! or
political" How will the "Calhoun wing >
get over this result They were Boosting
largely of giving Mr.. Calhoun the vote OF
Georgia in the National Convention, and
stating that under no possibility could Mr.
Van Buren, get the State, but we think the
result Of the election just past shows thai
the friends of Mr.. Van Buren, can claim il
with as much propriety as the friends oil
the "honest Nullitier."
The Augusta Chronicle announces the
result in the following glowing terms:
As we anticipated few days since
we have the unalloyed pleasure Of announc
ing most glorious triumph of the Whig'
Of Georgia. They have routed Locolo
coism throughout the length and breadth
of the State. From the seabord to the
mountains the returns proclaim the tri
umph of the Wing cause.-the election o

fore, a most important victory, and one
involving, in an eminent degree, the high
est interests Of the State, both in its local
and national relations.
Gratifying as is this triumph 10 us,
when we regard it for its influences upon
our local affairs, i, dwindles into compar.
alive insignificance when associated with
our national politics. Ii is not the mere
triumph Of a political party in a State, bas-
ed upon local questions, but il is the tri-
u;nph Of principles Wing prinoi-
pies the principles of the great Wing
party of the Union; it is the triumph Of a
National Bank aud the advocates of a
sound currency--a tariff for revenue over
direct taxation and the Locoioco humhng
of Stree trade "a distribution Of the
proceeds of the publ lands-and, above
all, IT is a triumph which proclaims in
terms winch admit OF no ambiguity that

srribed upon bis folds. Ii is thus that we
must contemplate this grea. triumph of
the Wings of Georgia, to appreciate its
importance in all its bearings upon the
great questions Of the day."
1t is Impossible TO estimate our major
ity, so unrivalled is the popularity Of our
cause and our principles, for Governor
and members Of Congress. Ii is certain,
however, tina, we have elected both by a
majority of thousands, and have a MAORI.

ANCIENT REMAINS.

Last week we mentioned that an entire
tree had been dug up on the Central Rail.
road, which was embedded in the earth 81
feet below the surface. Since that time
two others have been found, at about the
same depth, within few yards of the first.
One of them was tree Of large size, and
when found was near two feet in diameter.
All are OF the same kind Of wood, which
appears 10 be wild poplar, and the surface
of them mole or less charred. But the
most singular matter connected with them
is, that two of them were incrusted with
rock, and part of the other with a thin out
CT surface of rock, and within that one
composed of metal-some Of which is com
mon iron ore-but principally II is Of u
bright appearance and III the form OF crys-
tails, from the smallest size to that OF pea.
These often cover considerable surface,
and present very beautiful appearance.
| Also, the same metallic substance is dis
persed through the crevices of the log in
various forms, suiting the cavities-in some
it is quite hard, and in others the substance
is soft and appears to be in state of for
nation. The metal, &c. has not yet been
examined by competent scientific profess
sor, but is believed to be the suphate of
iron, and readily dissolves in sulphuric acid.
The place where these remains are found
is half mile east Of this city, few yards
from the base Of the large mound. The
ground is high and dry, aud has all the re-
gular strata of sand, gravel, clay, &c. US
ualIy found in the vicinity. There is not
the least appearance or even the practical
bility Of the soil having accumulated at the
place to any extent. We will leave it to
those more competent to suggest by what
means or when such deposites were made.
They furnish an abundant field for specu-
lation, but nothing to our mind for any sat-
isfactory onclusions.-Macon Messenger.

heart. Love? Bill, hardly know
what it is; but pose it must be getting
