NEW IRON REVENUE CUTTERS.

We understand that there are two iron steamboats,
now the stocks for the revenue service. One Of
them at Pittsburg and the other at Richmond. We
learn further, from very reliable authority, that they
made Of the best materials, the most approved
mould, with all the equipments and app liancei
adapted for the purpose, and under the suPerin
tendence of the most capable architects. Economy
too, has been carefully attended to in makingf the
contracts; and it is estimated that each Of them will
coet from fifteen thousand TO twenty thousand dol.
lars less than the last which have been built for the
service.
We informed by letter, which we have
received by this evenings mail, that next Monday
the l9h inst, the revenue iron steamer "Pok" will
be launched from the ship yard of J. r. Anderson,
IN Richmond. It is the anniversary of memorable
day in the annals Of Virginia. as well the U. States
the captuation of the British troops at Yorktown.
The launch will constitute sort Of era in Rich
mOnd, il being the first iron steamer that ever
launched in that inland town. We have no doubt
the spectacle will draw crowd to the city.

had the pleasure, on Sabbath afternoon, of hear
ing most enlightened and powerful DISCOURSE at
Mr.. Tustin's new church, from the Rev DR.. Nc
Gala, of Kentucky. He preached on the subject
OF ant-Christ and cannot help regretting that the
President of the United States and his whole cabi-
net were not there, to listen to the startling truths
and facts that fell with convincing power from the
lips OF that distinguished and patriotic divine. To
me, the occasion was peculiarly interesting al had
witnessed the memorable controversy in Philadel-
phia Just twenty-five years ago. between this gem
tleman and the Rev. DR.. Kneeland, a leading Uni
versast. Since that time, | have never seen Dr.
McCalla, until Sabbath afternoon.
The discussion in Philadelphia continued FIR
three days, and the interest and excitement were
most intense. But the logical acuteness, the COM
prehenslve views, the occasional use of brilliant wit
and whitening sarcasm, and yet the liberal and gen.
tlemanly bearing OF the Reatuckian-these weapons
were irresistible indeed overwhelming in sustain
ing such a cause as he espoused-a cause based up-
on the broad und deep foundations of eternal truth
| and justice. The excitement during that famous
discussion, as have said, was very great and sew
erai umes, the partIsans and supporters of Doctor
hneeand Kissed while DR.. McCalla was speaking,
and evinced determination to treat him with the
utmost dIscourtesy and rudeness. On discovering
that such was their settled purpose, the Kenuckian
rose, and casting look of calm but stern defiance
upon that portion of the audience, raised his rgh,
arm and exclaimed, eyes, as have been taunted
on that point, oas Jackson man at the battle or
New Orleans, and want you to understand that I
remain such to this hour. As chaplain of that eIo-
rlous army, was always prepared to raise nv
humble voice in defence Of my God and this rirRt
arm in defence of my country. And now, while
am ready to meet my adversary in fair and open
debate, am equally ready TO resist the assaults of
mob who disgrace this sacred temple with their
presence"

WooL.-ln the discussions in Congress upon III,
tariff of 1912, the representatives Of the manufse
turers very eager for high duties on cloths md
low duties on WOOL Their argument was that for.
eign wool should be extensively admitted, ill our
wollen manufacturers were firmly established and
that ,ohen ths object was attained the producers Of
domestic wool could be safely protected. Indeed
And they must be taxed heavily for cloths, for tn,
benefit OF the manufacturers, till the latter can afford
to protect them in producing WOOL This PROPOSE
ton of the manufacturers, to take all the benefits
and leave to the farmers all the burdens, was yery
modest! And after great exertions the farmers
obtained aduty on fine wool, though they were told
that none was imported. But coarse wool was od.
mitted under low duty, because the country pro-.
duced none, and therefore the farmer would not
| suffer through its admission Such was the logic
of the manufacturers. 1t was equivalent to Saying
that the farmer needed no protection, and that Ii.
whole of it should be given to the manufacturer
And under the tariff of 1912, the duty on woo.
costing cents or less to the pound, was 5 per cent
ad valorem, and on all other wool, equal to forty
per cent.
And how did this tariff operator During the wear
ending on June 30, lS45, the wool imported at a
duty of per cent, exceeded 23I millions ofpounds
while that imported for consumption, and re-ex
ported, at a duty of 80 per cent, and 3 cents Der
pound, was less than 400, 900 pounds. The whole
quantity produced in all the States, in 1910, was
about 36 millions of pounds, and in ls45, probably
40 millions, one-half at least of which was fine wool
Here then is an aggregate Of IS millions of pounds.
We assume that in the woollen manufactures of the
United States, the fine wool used for broadclohs,
cassimeres, fine fannels and fine satinetts, will ex.
coed the coarse wool used for carpets, baizes coars
fannels, and other coarse cloths, by one-fnh at
least; and therefore we apportion the coarse and fine
at three to two-ifhs. Then it. in ls45, we used 80
millions OF pounds of fine wool, or three.iifths Of IS
millions, and produced only 90 millions whence
came the other 10 millions' We shall probably
find them among the 23I millions of coarse wool ln.
ported at duty of 5 per cent. We happen 10
know that merno sheep have been SENT by Boste
mans, to Paraguay, whence very coarse wool was
imported, and doubt not that the heeces of these
sheep and their increase were mixed with the cona
wool imported thence IN 1s45. And thus were the
farmers protected by the tariff of 1912! Under the
present tariff, all wool is charged with duty of 30
per cent; and this gives to our wool growers slight
share IN the division of benefits. Under the tariff
of 1912, and the frauds which it encouraged they
had none-PhH, Ledger.

THE VALUE OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
IT'S INFLUENCE ON RELIGION.

The "Jornal do Commerce." of Rio de Janeiro,
ofJuly IL, contains detailed report of the proceed
ngs in the Brazilian Chamber Of Deputies, on the
9th of that month. Among the important questions
discussed upon that day, Zone being that of constl
utonal reform) was the proposed augmentation of
the number Of bishoprcs in Brazil. This topic,
which constituted the order of the day, elected
speeches from many distinguished men. In that
delivered by Sehor Capelleo-Mor, bishop of Rio,
we find the United States referred to- as the coun-
try in the world where the religion of his own
church (the Roman Catholic) fourishes best. And
he gives the reason too: it is because there, and
there alone, is ssj there, and there alone, it has
no connerion 10Th The government Strange Gone
might be disposed to think,) that mere freedom
should be better thing than protection, even for the
welfare of the protected church ITSELF Let the
power of government be exerled in favor of what
the rulers deem to be The true faith Let temporal
power lavish its favors upon her; let governments
require all to yield conformity this one standard
Let everything be done to make il exclusive which
mortal man can do and it all amounts to nothing. to
less than nothing A church thus protected cannot
flourish so well as that same church will do in a
country where religion, so far as government is con-
cerned is left to take of ITSELF where all faiths
are free, and none are favored. Hear the Roman
Catholic bishop bear witness to this truth, and
him point to our country az the one where it is
made manifest;

RAILROADS.

We have no leisure nor disposition, at this mo-
ment to engage in discussion with General Green
upon the best mode of carrying the mail. But we
will not deny him the opportunity Of pressing
his own opinions. We must be excused, from
engaging the "Union" in any further discus
sion of this point for the present, We beg leave,
however, to place ourselves right, by saying that by
the expressions in the "Union," we certainly never
intended to claim for Congress- either the power OF
building railroads, Of controlling the roads estab-
lished by the States. But certainly the peo-
pie of the States have the power to control the
roads established by themselves; and, in forming a
railroad company, to protect the United States
against abuses in relation to the transportation of
the mail, of troops &c. Such provisions have been
introduced into the charters in Virginia. and pa
per was more active in urging these provisions and
precautions than the "Richmond Enquirer" We
urged as one measure, that some impartial mode,
by fair arbitration, be adopted, for assessing the
price which the United States ought to pay for the
use of the road; and we urged, az a strong reason
for this policy, that as the States alone had the
power to make the road, they ought to be particu-
lary careful to protect the interests Of the United
States in the uses which it might make Of the
road. We suspect the acts of Congress them
selves require some modification in this respect.
There is, also, an important check in regard to
railroad companies already Incorporated, without
any such restriction being engrated upon them. For
example, we received communication last night, sug-
costing the proprety Of constructing "another rail-
road from Baltimore to New York, for mail purposes

Of Trent, many Of these assemblies took place, as
well for the purpose Of keeping each diocese sup
piled with form of discipline Rppropriate to its
wants, as in compliance with the regulation which
required that provincial councils should meet every
three years. AT the present period, however; they
very rare; and the cause is TO be found IN the
obstacles arising from the civil legislation by which
nearly all European countries governed, and their
affairs managed. say it with heartfelt regret, the
only place where provincial councils are held at this
day is the United States of America! There the
