maker, the tailor, &c. in exchange for their va
rious productions and labor
There are two or three other manufactures
of Rail Road Iron in this country, and other
works of the same character are in progress, &,
we may expect the same result in this, that
has attended other branches, namely, reduc-
ton of prices in consequence of competition
And here we see the very great benefit of
our Tariff The English iron interest is i'm.
mense, and if allowed an unrestricted entry
into our markets, the whole interest would
have combined to stife in its infancy any at
tempt to commence manufacture ofthis kind
in America. The same game would be re-
peated which the English have heretofore play
cd with our wooden manufactures, and the
loss of few millions by undcrselling would
be regarded as mere song, if they could thus
monopolize the market, and then their prices
would go up,and we should have to foot up
their losses with vengeance. American cap
talists could invest their money in safer opcr-
atoms than to enlist in such a heavy COMPETE
ton, and they never would do it. But give
them the market,and American enterprise and
industry will furnish every article that Eng
land has heretofore furnished us, and at less
prices. Let the Tariff of 1912 remain, under
the operation of which these manufactures of
Rail Road Iron have gone into operation, mill
ions of dollars will be yearly distributed to the
laboring and producing classes of our country,
every shilling of which would otherwise be
sent abroad, draining our country of specie,
prostrating business, and tending to check all
those great works ofpublic improvement now
in progress or contemplation, which promise
so great benefits to our country. We cannot
too greatly deprccate the miserable and in
sane policy, which would overthrow n system
under which our country has risen to so high n
pitch Of prosperity; and without a shadow of a
reason TO reduce her again to the state of de-
preston under which she laborcd in $40, Al

We have said that the cooperation of tho
Passumpslc association, was continued IN
good faith, so long as they had reasonable
hope of success. II was continued longer
AS early as the goth ofMay, lS45, Mr.. Fair
banks, in behalf of the association, wrote to
S. O. Lyford, Esq, Meredith, as loIows;-
"There exists, TO a considerable extent, IA
want of confidence among our people. Many,
who three months ago were enthusiastic,
have allowed themselves TO feel comparative
ly Indifferent, under the impression that rival
routes are the favorites in Boston, and that
our efforts must be ffuitless."
Sill the Passumpsic association continue
their cooperation, proposing TO share in tie
expense of extra agencies for bringing the
Boston, Concord and Montreal Railroad more
prominently and iayoraby into notice. And
it was not until the last Of July, 1S45, after
the entire stock of the Northern Railroad had
been secured, that they reinquished the hope
that the Boston, Concord and Montreal would
prove the successful rival.
They were then compelled to look TO other
Railroad interests, as the only rational
ground upon which 10 expect that railroad f;l-
cilities would be extended TO them; and at
meeting of their board of managers August
18th, it was decided TO open the books of tho
Connecticut and Passumpsic Rivers Railroad.
and 10 place the stock in the market under
Vermont charter. In this they violated no
rights of the Boston, Concord and Montreal
Rnilrond Company. They infiingcd upon no
stipulations. Nor did they place themselves
in the attitude of opponents. They solicited
subscriptions 10 the stock of the ConnecIicu,
and Passumpsic Rivers Railroad as measure
of selfpreservaton, and were successful
The result shows both the correctness Of
their Judgment and the wisdom of their
decision. Had they waited for the stock Of
the Boston, Concord and Montreal Railroad to
he subscribed before opening the hooks
of tho Connecticut and PassuInpsic Rivers
Railroad, another sGptennry might have pass-
ed before they could revive the project with
reasonable prospect of success. Now they
have a bona fGSe subscription, which ilistiica
the belief that, ut least, forty miles Of their
road from the mouth of White River north,
will be completed very nearly coincident with
the completion Of the Northern RAILROAD 10

Capt Church, Of the Bulletin, on his late "trip
up from New Orleans, says the ST Louis Re
veille, brought with him number ofofiirprs
just from the army. They were full of anec-
dotes, of course, and the following little illus
tration of character is interesting as we'll as
amusing:
Among the volunteers was " gcntlcmnm's
son"-a tnll private, who, heartily sick ofrainy
weather, mud, and no shelter,iirst went to his
captain with his complaints, but meeting with
no particular sympathy, resolved To have Il
talk with Gen. Taylor himself Arrived at
the commanders quarters, the General was
pointed out 10 him, but he was rather inCrCd-
nlous. "THnt old fellow General Taylor
Nonsense |" Satisfied, however, that such
was even the case, he marched up and, yath-
err patronizingly opened his business.
"Gen. TAYLOR, believe :"
eyes, sir"
"Well, General, | am glad to sec you--an,,
indeed" The General returned the civility.
General, you'll excuse me- but since Pve
been here I've been doing all could for you
have, indeed; but the fact is, the accomo-
dations are ucry bad-are, indeed; mud, sir.
actually; am obIccged to lie down in it, actin
ally and the fact is, Pma gent!cmnn's Son,and
not used to it,"
The General, no doubt, deeply impressed
with the fact of having gent'ennN's son in his
army, expressed his regret that such annoy
ances should ever exist under amy circum-
stances, in civilized army.
" Well--but General, what am | to- do ?"
"Why, really, don't know, unless you
take my place"
"Well, now, that's civil-'tis indeed OF
course, don't mean to turn you OIL, but few
hours sleep-a cot, or II bunk, or any thing
would be SO refreshing! Your placc-where
is it. General ?"
ooh Just drop down-amy ,chcre about here
Any place about camp will answerp
The look which the 'genteman's SON gave
the General was rather peculiar.
"Well, no wonder they call YOU Rough
and Ready y" said he and, amid the smiles
of all, but Rough and Ready himself, the
gentleman's som returned to takoshis chance
