HOW BANKS BENEFIrTHE FARMER,

The wings have admitted that hard
money currency would have directly con
trayy effect upon prices, from currency Of
bank paper. The following will show that
an increase of banks has greatly reduced the
prices of produce; every one can form his
own conclusions as to the extent which the
constitutional currency would have raised

THE ExrLE's RETURN SAMUEL Snow,
whose return from banishment TO Van Die
mans Land for Participating in the Patriot
War we noticed recently, has published an
interesting Narrative of the events which
transpired during the several years of his
exile, which we hope will find liberal sale.
The pamphlet consists of 80 pages, and
gives much information in regard 10 the
treatment of prisoners, the people, and gen
eral characteristics of Van Dieman's Land,
and is well worth the small pittance charged
for it. The author is worthy man who
has suffered much in person and property
on account Of his active sympathy with the
movements for freedom In Canada, and has
very strong claims on the generosity Of the
public Cleveland Rerald.

The Proposed Southern Rail-
road.

The bill for the Southern Railroad,
from the Mississippi river TO the Atlantic
has passed the Mississippi Legislature.
twill commence at Jackson, the seat Of
Government, and connect with the Rail
road from Vicksburg, on the Mississippi
river From Jackson it will run through
four counties, contiguous to nine other
counties, and be an outlet for the trade Of
Columbus, Mississippi. II will then
cross the Alabama line into Sumpter, and
through Marengo, Percy, and other coun-
tes, to Montgomery-afording an outlet
for the gold and mineral regions of Ala
bama and Georgia. At Montgomery it
will meet the two routes coming together
towards the West The one is the road
from Charleston and Hamburg to Atlanta,
in Georgia, and from thence to West
Point, on the Chattanooga, the line be-
tween Georgia and Alabama, and from
West Point to Montgomery. The Rail-
road is now in progress, and nearly forty
FIVE miles completed. The other route,
lIOiil odf dIiiidii, OcOiSid, W t1C CSiilidi
Georgia Railroad to Macon, Georgia, and
from thence the Georgians are about to
make road to Columbus, on the Chat
tanooga, and thence from Glrard, opposite
Columbus, to Montgomery, and from
Montgomery to Vicksburg will be the
Southern Railroad.
The friends Of this great work contend
that it is to be the great ronte of North
ern and Southern travel, carrying the
Southern mail. Steam packets. with the
mail and passengers, will then run daily
from Vicksburg to New Orleans.
Now, that all the legislation necessary
to enable it to proceed to its construction
is completed, the question is, how are
the funds to be raised! The Mississippi
bill appropriates the two per cent. fund
of Mississippi, which is about 100000,
given by Congress to this road. OF the
same fund in Alabama, $4,000 have
been loaned to complete the distance in
tervening between Montgomery and
West Point. There is also bill now
before Congress, granting the alternate
sections of public land, for five miles on
each side of the road. ad.-Richmond Eng.

TUESDAY, MARCH 81, 1876,

gress TO annlhilate the arguments of a po-
liticaI opponent.
MIR Baily had talked Of England de-
pending on us for agricultural productions.
The contrary was the fact. Half of all
the British goods and five-sixths of all
the iron used in this country imported
from England, were in reality British ag-
rlcultural productions used in the manu-
facture of these articles.
A gentleman from Va. here asked Mr..
Stewart whether he would refuse to give
the South market for their cotton
and tobacco!
Mr. Baily here asked Mr. Stewart a
question about the Corn-Laws, &c.
Sit down, said Mr.. S. and I'll tell you.
Our Corn goes through Canada to En-
gland on colonial duty, Ia shillings. The
North of Europe sends its Corn at du-
ty of 10 shillings to England-and yet we
have an assertion by Lord Ashburton, by
the last news from the British Parliament
that the North of Europe furnishes 9
10ths of all the foreign Corn imported
into that Kingdom, What will it be
when the duty of Is shiIlings is taken
of from the Corn of The North of Eu-
rope?
It-is fact-strange, but nevertheless
true-that the people of the West in US
ing British manufactures consume five
times as much British agricultural produc-
tions as the British do of Western agri-
cultural productions. The agricultural
productions .ofthis country are estimated
at one thousand millions ofdoIlars; Engand
takes only about two millions of this.
The gentleman buys British manu-
featured coat of 20 dollars-I buy coat
at 30 dollars of American manufacture
his money goes to England, half of it for
agricultural productions consumed in the
manutacture-my money circulates a
mong my neighbors, half of it buys wool
from the farmer and the other halt is for
American agricultural productions consul
med by American manufacturers Every
thing done by this Congress seems to be
for the benefit of British commerce, Brit
ish manufactures, &c. Surely it is to do
something for American manufactures
Why one of our committee-rooms in this
Capitol is now used by the agent of Brit
ish manufactures. He hoped that room
might be appropriated TO show American
manufactures. The British act in unison
with this Congress. We are showing
British arguments, and the British House
of Lords are printing American arguments
against our own manufactures. Mr..
Walkers report, &c.-(cries of Sir Rob
ert Walker.
| tell you, said MIR. Stewart, that if you
break down the present Tariff the party
now in power will be overthrown, as in
1910.
Then, said a Southern Member, why
not go with US!
So would, said Mr., S. if | loved my
party better than my country.
Mr., Stewards hour here expired and
Mr. Ewing of Tenn. got the floor.
The committee then rose and reported
progress and the House adjourned.

Faithfully flow, thou falling river,
Like dream that dies away;
Down the ocean gliding ever,
Keep thy calm, unruffl ed way!
Time with such silent motion,
Floats along on wings Of air,
To eternity's dark ocean,
Burying all its treasures there.
Roses bloom and then they wither:
Checks are bright, then fade and die,
Shapes Of light are waited hither,
Then like visions hurry by;
Quick as clouds at even driven
Ger the many-colored west;
Years are bearing us to Heaven,
Home of happiness and rest.

| Correspondence OF the Columbian Fountain.

MosDAY, March l6, 1876.
Service by Rev. G. ID. Hamilton.
The Conference resolved to 60 into an elee-
ton of delegates to the General Conference,
which will sit in Cincinnati in May next.
Rev. DR.. Waters was elected President, and
Rev. E. Y. Reese Secretary, Of the Electoral
College.
On motion of DR.. J. 8. Owings, the follow
ing preamble and resolution were adopted.
While we deprecale slavery as it exists in
this country as great national evil, we be-
lieve that 1t does not belong to ecclesiastical
institutions to legislate upon the subject. We
leave its correction TO the civil authorities, un-
der the amelioraling influences Of Christianity.
and the overruling providence of an all-wiss
God.
In our opinion, the rules and regulations on
the subject Of the suffrage and eligibility to Of!
fee, found in our constitution and discipline,
were the result of mutual forberance and con-
cession between the Northern and Southern
portions Of our Church; that the wisdom and
adaptedness Of the principles therein embodied.
have been fully and satisfactorily developed ia
in the experience Of seventeen years, and thai
we believe any change would be injurious to
the best and dearest interests Of our Church.
Resolved, That our Delegates to the snsu-
ing General Conference be, and they are here.
by instructed, to oppose any effort that may
be made in said Conference 10 alter, change,
modify. repeal, or annul, said rules and regu-
lations.
The college then proceeded to ballot for De-
legates.
