TARIFF DOCUMENT.

During the late session Of Congress, while the
tariff question engaged all minds, resolutions were
adopted in the Senate on the motions, Of Mr., SIM
mons, Of Rhode Island, and Nc Davis, Of MasSa.
chusets; the latter Of which the Secretary OF the
Treasury sent a reply on the 22d Of July. The
resolution was as follows
"Rssolptd, That the Secretary Of the Treasury be
instructed 10 report TO the Senate the list OF manu-
iaciuTed articles upon uhch the sum Of Ulg four mil
lions Of dollars is annually paid 10 The protected classes
by enhancing the price Of domestic arucles, and the
amount so paid upon each article, Il he Possesses
the meaEs of ascertaIning the seine"
The reply consists in a statement and various Ia
bles, which alege and prOps the fact, that FIFTY
FOUR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WERE so PAID BY THE
PEOPLE OF TIE UNITED SrArEs, as an annual bur
den in favor Of protected wealth u!
Such was the effect of this array OF facts and
proofs that the protectonists dared not to reply TO-
or even discuss or deny It's positions.
This document is now republished at the Union
Office, omitting some statistical tables which have
been, and now, before the public in other re.
ports. II is called for from every quarter of tn,
Union. As the democratic party desire the dissent
nation of truth, this document is now sent forth
The form will be kept standing in office, tina
calls from any quarter may be promptly answered
for a short time, at a moderate compensation.

FROM THE CAMP.

Dispatches have been received which agree, in the
most material circumstances, about the movements
of the army, with the private letters. General
Taylor, having sent forward the and the body of
the army, was to leave Camargo on the first days
of the present month very experienced officer,
who has the best opportunities Of judging of the
course of events, expressed the opinion to us, to-
day, that by this time General Taylor was in pos
session of Monterey.
The New Orleans Delta of the 9th instant state 8
inc substance of letter which its Editor had
seen from General Taylor, dated Camargo, the 9th
ult, in which the general states that he had sent on
three hundred mules, two hundred wagons, and one
hundred and sixty thousand rations; that he would
move on the LIST to the 9Th instant, himself to Mon
terey; that if the enemy did not give him fight
there, he would push to SaltiIlo, and there ar
range his plans for future and more forward move
ment." a-a .r.., % .-f ..-.,-
We understand that no allusion is made to
Colonel Harvey in any of the dispatches just
received. One would suppose that General Taylor
was better acquainted with his movements than the
Mexicans. .........

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE.

We had thought it probable that some official ac-
count of the proceedings of the board Of regents 4
this institution, at their late session, might have
been received by US, ere this, for publication. No
such document having been sent to us, we have on
ly to state that during the five days. session Of the
board plan for the organization of the institution
was submitted by Mr.. Hough, ofthe House of Rep.
resentatives, who has been chosen one Of the re-
gents. His plan was taken into consideration, but
we do not understand il to have been de6nitively
adopted nor have we any information as to the de-
tails of It's provisions. The Hon. George M Dali
lis was elected chancellor cf the institution. An ex
ecutive committee Of the board has been appointed,
as required by law, consisting Of the mayor OF
Washington as chairman, and Messrs. Owen, In
diana, and Totem, Of this city. Mr.. Hough has
been chosen the secretary pro tenn Of the nstilu-
ton II is understood that there are several candi-
dates for this office, and the selection of perma.
nent secretary has been deferred till future meet
ing of the board 1t is understood that the building
Of the institution will be located on the public mall
Of this city, south of the canal We gather these
facts from the National Intelligencer--one Of the
proprietors Of that journal, Mr.. seaon, being, in
his capacity Of mayor Of the city Of Washington,
member Of the board Of regents. II.

IRoN IN manifestation in wndow-slls and

iect "are being introduced into the buildings be-
ing erected at Richmond, Virginia. The use of it,
for many Purposes of building where wood is now
used, will be universal One of your late correspon-
dents was right, Mr.. Editor, in surprising the time

almost altogether of IRON" .....s
We find in an exchange paper the following state
ment in relation to new process, which has been
recently adopted with success in the manufacture Of
iron, and which appears to be of great importance.
Who can doubt in view Of such improvements,
that the duty of 30 per cent, as imposed by the
new tariff, will be found amply adequate to all pur-
poses of reasonable protection
Iron MADE WITH RAW BIrUMNous coAL-We
mentioned the fact, few days since, that the new
Mahoning iron wo ks Of Messrs. WiIkeson, Wilkes,
& Company, al Poland, Ohio, were turning out a
superior quality of pg-ron, blown in on raw btu
mnous coal, and that the importance Of the discov-
cry to the west could hardly be estimated. We
now learn with qualification, by the Summit Bea
con, that the Cambria Union Iron Works Of Messrs
Vinton, Lewis, Rees, d Company, situated on the
cross-cut canal in Talmadge, Ohio, have been put
| in operation and with complete success, in manu-
featuring pig-iron with raw bituminous coal The
pigs daily produced have been pronounced equal to
the Hanging Rock pig, and resemble very much the
celebrated pig-iron made in Bleanavon and Llanelly,
South Wales. The Cambria Union furnace is Of
the largest capacity, and OF the latest and most APP
proved mode. Mr. Vnton, the manager is recent
ly from England, and has practical knowledge Of
the improvements in the manufacture Of iron in
Rnglard and Wales, The Beacon well remarks
that the erection Of works Of this kind will be fel,
benehcially by the whole community through the
wealth that ia created out Of material that woud
otherwise lie dormant in our hills, as well ss in
