Il Fn., mourulll but not unexpected intelligence
will be received throughout the whole c"uN'
try, by all parties, with deep, udiiocted AND
1riycrsu sorrow, as no man OF ms DAY ever
Z rendered more signal iYiocs to hls country
upon the field of battle, while his memorable

here Tins morning, from Nashville, with intel
Rumce that this eminent man died at the Her

Doa,b Of General ,Jackson. A gentleman who
arrived in tins city last ulght, reports that Ge-
n,gal Jackson died at the hermitage on sun
dav evening lost, at SIX O'Clock. We presume
from tLe source from whence this Intelligence
IS derived, that It must be true; although the
Nashville Republican Banner Of Monday morn
lnr makes no mention Of it, 1t might happen
h 1wcver, that the Banner was put to press be-
fore the intelligence reached Nashville. 1t il
stated that ID the afternoon of Sunday, Gene
raj Jackson was suddenly seized with taiatness
while sit ng in lis chair. He was conveyed L
!,,s bed, and recovered so far as 10 take u tina
leave OF his family and friends present, ant
expired IN about an hour and hal! afterwards

BENEFITS or TIE TARIFF. We have here
tolore referred to series Of articles, bearing
the Signature of ",urdiSon,n on the subjec: OF
the Tariff, now in course OF publication in the
National Inteliigcnccr. In the third number,
winch was published on Saturday, the writer's
purpose is ito demonstrate, that the existing
tariii' does Tot, upon the whole, raise the prices
Of goods, foreign or domestic he success
fully sustlins his position. He shews that, al
though an additional duty was imposed on cot
ton bagging by the tariff Of 1912, the article,
both foreign and domestic, declined in price
materaly-and that the present prices of bag
ging and bale rope are fully one-third less than
those prior to 1912. "This is readily account
ed for" says the writer. SIN consequence of
Increased duties, the growers of hemp in the
west extended their business; and now they, or
those who manufacture it, not only supply the
cotton planters with bagging and rope at much
reduced prices, but hemp has become an article
of expectations" And then in regard to the
article sugar, upon which the tariff of 1912
imposed an additional duty. "But," (says the
writer,) "sugar did not advances it declined,
and during the wear 1913 it was lower than
ever known" We have heard much said as
to the oppressive bearing of the tariff upon the
poor and particularly in the article of sugar:
and yet it is seen, that tue increased duty had
the direct effect Of diminishing the price Of the
article, by bcgotling competition. The writer
asks, ''why did this great article, (grcat, because
used by every onc,) Of CONSUMPTION declnc!--
simply because the additional protective duty
stimulated the production in Louisiana, whose
crop has ever since been increasing, until 1t
reached the enormous quantity Of about 200,-
600 hogshoads."
Cotton Fabrics. The writer procured from
tie most authentic source the wholesale prices
of the principal articles manufactured at Low

past as follows:
