plan OF campaign recommended to your talents,

should be followed and which il not developed

MAJOR GEN. GAINES IN COMMAND
OF THE II DIVISION

W
We feel a high sense of qualification in an.
nOuncing that late on Saturday evening this dis.
tlnguished officer received, through the Adiu,an,
GENERALS Office at Washington, his orders from
the proper Department to take command of the
Eastern Division. fixing his Head Quarters either
at New York, Philadelphia or Troy. He has
selected New York as the most important point
ana yesterday afternoon, the very first convey
ance that lett, the Osceola, after his orders were
received, found Gen. Gaines on his ROME IN
duty.
we believe it would have been more agreeable
10 him to have been ordered back to the Western
Division, where he might have completed his
plans of Defence for the Mississippi River. bu,
he says 1t is the duty Of the soldier to obey orders
not question them, and we took leave of him.
with the proud consciousness that we were in the
presence of a brave and ready patriot and soldier,
whose only object is TO serve his country, and
preserve unsullied his honor and his fame.
In conversation with the General lust previo,s
10 MS departure, the subject of the late investiga-
ton came up, when he expressed himself as ex-
tremeiy grateful 10 the Secretary of War. for
the opportunity he had afforded him, through a
Court OF Inquiry, to place himself rectus in curia
before the American people, and had thus enabled
him to wipe out the insidious aspersions which
has been engendered against him by envy and
impotent malice.
For our own part. we have so decidedly and
frequently expressed the conviction that the De-
partment was led astray in its Judgment on this
matter by the advice and representation of Others,
that we feel a source of pride, in contemplating
the act which places Gen. Gaines in command of
the Eastern Division, as it shows unabatinq con-
fidence, Tin the breasts of the President and the
Secretary of War,) in the purity and correctness
Of his conduct.

deeply interests the honor of the nation under ex-

RESTRICTIONS AND FREE TRADE

1t seems in vain to deny that a strong
current is setting against restrictive com
mercial principles. Within the past year
England has virtually abolished her corn
laws-the United States have essentially
modified the tarif-France and Belgium
have formed a liberal treaty Of internation-
al intercourse-Russia has introduced some
small changes, modifying the prohibition
principle, while Naples and the Pope have
made largo advances in the same direction.
1t is also worthy of note that the late attempt
to make the duties ofthe German ZoIverein
more restrictive, wholly failed. The late
arrivals bring the following from the high
ly commercial and manufacturing States of
Holland and Belgium:
The Brussels journals publish thetext of

RUIN.-The probability ofthe predicted
ruin to befall the country, from the opera
ton of the new tariff, can be inferred from
the following statistics:
Amount of capital invested in
agriculture -----.--- "a 600, 000,0 0
Amount INFESTED in all kinds of man-
fractures 4UU, UUU, UUU
Annual value Of agricultural pro-
ducts l,20U,UOU
Annual value of manufactured articles,
cost of raw materials and labor in
If this estimate, which we take from a
New York paper, be correct, agricultural
lists can readily perceive why the protec-
tive system is said to benefit tho few at the
expense of the many. The proportion Of
the capital of the country employed in man.
ufactur;es is here set down too high; but.
according to the foregoing it is equal to on
ly one-tenth of that used by the agricul-
tural interest. 1t must be remembered
further, that not more than one-half or two
thirds of the manufacturers enjoy the specia
favor of protective duties. Indeed it, ha'
been stated on good authority that the un.
protected manufacturing interest i'll thi.
country o%utnumber those enjoying govern
ment bounties. Why, then, should nine.
tenths, or Observation-Disclosures, of our peo'
pie be burdened with taxes for the benefit
of the small portion engagedin a particu.
lar class of pursuits? How can the agri.
culturists be proftted by protective duties:

DETERMINATION TO ATTACK
VERA CRUZ,

The Savannah Georgian says that Lieu
Bergman, the gallant officer who behaved
SO nobly in the loss of the Truxton, off Tus-
pan, passed through that city on the l4th.
as bearer of dispatches from the squadron,
at Vera Cruz, to the Government, at Wash
ington. That paper learns from a gentle
man who conversed with Lieut.. Bergman
on the cars, that it has been determined to
attack Vera Cruz on the land side by an eX-
pedition from Tampico; that the hosting o!
the stars and stripes in the city will be the
signal for an attack by the squadron upon
the castle of San Juan D'Ulloa. This is
the onlp way in which the castle can be
takhn, and the obtaining possession Of that
point is deemed necessary to end the war.
