Polk Tariff30 per cent.
If any body in Vermont raises coarse wool
worth only cents per IL. then the Polk Tar
if'increases the protection on it cent l-2
mills-while it takes of oc all wool worth ov-
err cents just 3 cents per pound. This is
the true state ofthe case as any body who
can use figures accurately can test. This
cutting off of3 cents per pound g. the reduc-
ton oi'the protection upon WOODEN goods of
TO- & 20 per cent. into which much ofour
woolis manufactured is the occasion of the
fall in the price ofwool several cents pound
since the passage by the House of Folks BILL
If Folks Tariff had afforded better protection
to wool growers, of course the effect would
have been tile reverse ofthis. 1t has not even
keptup the price ofconrse wool, TO which
its friends pretend it affords better protec-
tion and for the plain reason none of the

THE COTTON CROP-Inslead OF making
extracts from different papers, we Te-publsh from
the n. o. Commercial Times the following se-
neral view OF the whole field. Ii is gloomy, in
deed:
"Our readers will bear in mind tina, we have
carefully abstained from imparting any undue or
exaggerated colorng 10 The distressing accounts
which have reached us for some time past in re-
gard to the crops in Mississippi and Louisiana
Nor do we claim any credit Tor having displayed
an excess Of caution in giving currency 10 these
reports, long experience having taught US how apt,
people are 10 attach degree OF Importance 10
these rumors which the sequel has rarely warran-
ted.
1.-THE advices, however, which have come 10
hand within The past lwenIy-fouT hours are of
character 10 disarm much Of that scepticism which
usually prevails whenever The cry Of short crop
is raised, and many parties who have boldly con-
tested that the damage was greatly magnifed, are
now compelled 10 acknowledge themselves in or
ror. In addition 10 number OF letters addressed
10 us and submitted 10 our perusa We have ex-
amined several couon-stalks and large quantity
of bolls, gathered unfortunately from several
plantations in the neighborhood of Nalchez, Rod
new, Grand Gulf and Miikens Bend, every one
OF which has been perforated by The worm, and
the contents completely eaten out. In the course
of our experience. which dates several years back
and includes every variety OF season, weather ETC.,
we have never witnessed such thorough and uni
versal destruction. In lS40 when the visitation
OF the army worm was very general, the writer, in
a tour through the country, examined critically
several plantations which had been ravaged by the
insect, but in scarcely an instance does he remem-
Der that The caterpillar attacked The bols. Now,
however, The case is widely different; for no, on
ly have the younger forms fallen prey TO the de-
vourer but even the full grown bos have not es.
capped. In addition TO this the country is still suf
fering from incessan rains; and The little Cotton
remaining 10 be picked, canno, be gathered until

"Censor Morum" in yesterday Wing, takes a
wide-sweep His object is 10 warn "lhe lax pay
ers" OF Buckingham against "ihe most exoIbi-
tant tax bills" which will soon "be presented By
the Shcrti"-assais CHE many extravagapl APP
preparations" by The justices OF Buckingham, and
particularly specifies a bell costing $3.50, whose
''sound may be delightful 10 their hono,abes, but
ii sounds death knel 10 the poor la1- payer." =
II would be well in this censor 10 confine himself
TO the injustice and extravaganza OF The county
and parish levy OF Buckngham-a majority OF
whose justices, we guess, belong TO his own Wing
party. But he goes step further and talks oil the
"prohigacy of the General Government" which,
carrying out the new Wing figure Of The hob COB
lin of "direci taxation" twill, al no distant day,
produce the necessity OF resorting 10 direct taxes
in the mos, abhorrent shape. The marshal and
sheriff will go hand in hand. The people begin
10 feel keenly the disastrous state OF the times,
Notwithstanding the fne.spun theories of The Hon.
Mr. Seldom, and the voluminous exhibitions Of
your statistical Congressman"
Censor may be TOO blind 10 sec il, but "the dis
aStrous stale OF the times" is hereabouts regarded
as pretty much OF a humbug. The rise in the
prices OF agricultural products has given new
life to all kinds OF business, and reasonable men
look forward 10 a healthy and vigorous stale Of
prosperity. Events which are daily occurring
90 far 10 prove the truth OF The well-reasoned
'lheories" Of Mr. Seldom, and the great value Of
the statistics" Of Mr.. Hubbard, whom The Tariff
lies have often endeavored to ridicule by nick
names, but his strong arguments and powerful
....o I,a,r Always secured 10 him the favorable
support OF the Buckingham District.
We agree with "CensoI' in his views OF the
"abominabe policy of high taxation" which We
consider as fully demonstrated by The operation
of a high Protective Tariff. We agree with
him also as 10 the importance OF re-populatins
the Old Dominion-bnt we differ with him in
his gloomy predictions Of the downward for
tunes Of our noble old State" We believe that
a "bel,er time is coming" and that if We all put
our shoulders TO the wheel, and improve our re-
sources, without looking 10 the uncertain pat
ronase and partial legislation OF Government
We shall yet place the old State upon a sound
basis OF prosperity. 1t is 10 herself, and not
10 The unequal and unjust laws Of Congress, that
Virginia must appeal Tor the protection of her
| rights and interests.
