The following anecdole, which we find in the
New Orleans Jefersonian, clearly illustrates the
mischieis of The protective system:
We heard Democratic sugar planter iercely
attacked for supporting an administration which
advocated reduction OF the duties on foreign su-
gars.
"Gen.emen," he replied. 'the very argument
you address 10 my sel6shness is proof of The
wisdom and patriotism Of the Democratic admin
islraton. OF US sugar planters there are about
thousand in the Stale. OF those who consume
sugar there are abou,twenly millions. Ills 10 the
profit Of us one thousand that the high duty on
sugar should be maintained but il is a Tax on the
twenty millions. Whose interest shall prevail in
directing the councils the nation, the one thou
sand OF the twenty milions7"
So il is with all those grand schemes Of inter
ference BY the general government, TO promote
partial and sectional interests; they result in tax
ing the many Tor the benefit Of The few.

The Wing press have teemed with Charges
against the "imbecili,y" and acknowledgements Oh
the War Department. Blu! thus far not single
one has been made good. As soon as Inc 'ae''
have been developed, the whole Wing oaueiy
has been exploded. Who does not remember 'he
triumphant vindicalion OF Secretary Marcy ~
regard 10 The DISARMAMENT OF volunteers III
Mexico7 A few days since, gloomy picture
was drawn of The condition OF the KENTUCKY
volunteers. They were represented as has'ps
received no pay, and as being in state oil haheo-
ness and suffering But General Towson, ray
master General, comes out with true statement
of facts and the charge falls TO the ground. lie
shows that these volunteers have been paid con-
formally to law, that they have been well pro-
yided with clothing, and that if they are now in
rags. The Government is free from blame, having
done its duty.
As specimen Of the manner in which The
Department. has been unjustiy denounced Tor
neglect OF duty, and completely vindicated by The
truth, we quote The following from The New W.
leans Pcayune, neutral:
nCOI. CNEL HUNT-This very efficient
officer. who is The Deputy Quartermaster STA
TONED here, has addressed letter 10 the Courier,
in which he vindicates himself from charges
urged against the service by writer in The
National Intelligencer. Those particularly
noted, relate 10 The accumulation, upon the Le-
wee, ofwagons and fixtures, and the cost OF trans
porlalion OF mules. Colonel Hunts explanation
appears TO US 10 be perfectly satisfactory on each
point. He challenges the investigation OF his Oh
fetal conduc,-demands that specific charges be
made; and declares himself ready to meet them
before The legal tribunal recognized in The army.
Colonel Hunts duties have been so onerous SINCE
the commencement Of the war, aud he has dis
charged them, as has been represented 10 Us, with
such fidelity and energy, that we should copy his
leer as an &C, of bare justice, had we room;
bul the demands of advertisers upon our columns
today are unusually urgent"

VALUE OF COB MEAL.
From the Albany c ultisator.

lOIH tno hlUdIy y ulllVdtOrs
Mr. EDIToR;-It has been the opinion
OF most far mers, that corn cobs were OF
hllls or no value, and they have gene,
|Fally lhrown them aside as OF no use ex.
cept for manure. The experience OF
some who have formerly fed corn meal
and the anticipated scarcity Of hay has
led nearly all Of our corn growers TO
turn their cobs into food for their stock
To show something OF the extent which
il has been used here, the following will
give you some data to judge from.
lOns mill in this town has, within The
last three months ground more than
5000 bushels Of cobs, besides large
Quantity Of corn in the ear. This fact
Think proves quite conclusively thai
cob meal is valuable ss an article oil
food for stock. Indeed the epirio
which is expressed by those who have
used il, is altogether in It's favor. When
they get out their corn, it is not lhresh
ed entirely clean; some 10 Is bushels
Of corn is lef, on The cobs. They are
kept clean as possible till ground into
meal. Cattle, horses, sheep, and hog:
eat it readily, without adding other
grain. When fed 10 cattle in addition
10 hsv, a marked di if1erence in their
condition and appearance is seen, from
hose fed on hay without the meal
Some feeders mix it with other grain,
roos, &c, with marked prof and sue
cess. When fed with oil cake, il j,

The Fortress of 81. Juan de UNoa ana

Gen. Thompson says that the little is

be called harbor, but an open roAd, like
most of The olhsrs OH the Gulf Of Mexico.
[, frequently occurs that violent north winds
(called los nor'es, or norlhers) drive the
vessels on shore, and seriously njure the
mole itself. Vessels of war Of other nations
anchor about three miles below, near the
Island Of Sacricios. A very narrow chan,

Congress.

The proceedings Of this body seldom possess
much interest until after the holidays; but the
peculiar state of our public affairs has already
occasioned sundry discussions of an important
character. The organization of Governments
in the conquered Mexican provinces, after re-
ceiving considerable attention in the House,
was brough. up in the Senate by resolution
presented by Mr.. Wes.colt. which, among other
consequences. gave rise 10 spirited conles.
between that gentleman and Mr.. Benton (boh
for the Administrator The resolution was
laid on the table, % to 23. Mr.. Benton has
given notice of bill TO regulate appointments
TO Office, and to guard the public service from
improper influences A very laudable purpose,
if properly carried out. Ia the House, prop
osition 10 repeal The tariff of '46, was nega,ived,
ITO TO 73. A proposition for a branch mint in
New York is before Congress. If this does
no, increase our aggregate of coin, it will add
to our means of employing what we have, by
creating a reinforcement of those public bles.
