At a time that an attack upon Point

There is a general desire expressed by

About two hundred sick had been re-

were also several companies of U. S..
troops destined for Tampico. on board,

scriplion Of this new arm in our service.
obtained from an officer ~conversant with
the subject. Two batteries have been
constructed at Watervliet.
Each Of these batteries consis; OF six
~ FOUNDER bronze howitzers, made with
extreme lightness, and six carriages so
constructed as to be susceptible OF pack
ing upon a horse or mule. The hOwiizer
weighs about 90 pounds. The carriage
is Of similar weight, and two chests with
ammunition vary only a very few pounds
from the same. A pack saddle has been
so constructed as to admit Of It's receiving
either the howitzer, the carriage, or two
ammunition chests, carrying each eight
rounds of spherical case shot, shells and
canister. Thus the load of horses does
not exceed 220 pounds, which IS carried
most compactly and securely.
The purpose Of this new corps is to ACT
as artillery in positions where heavier
batteries could not be established, as IN
dehles, narrow passages, mountain gorges,

there has been no period in our past his
tory when all the elements of national
prosperity have been so fully developed.
Abundance has crowned the toll of the
~husbandman, and labor in all its branch
es is receiving an ample reward" And
all this under the odious Tariff Of 1872
the system which he says was $50 une-
quail and unj ust, as TO swell the profits of
the comparatively few, who had invested
their capital.in manufactures" What con-
6Jence can be placed in the statement of
this high officer of the Government when
a man Of the p~lainest intellect can dlscoy-
er such inconsistencies! II is an old adj
age with men experienced in business. TO
''let well enough alone" It is time 10
make alterations when the system works
badly, but it is well TO remember that not
a single memorial was presented at the
last session Of Congress, asking for either
a repeal or modification of the Bill of
lS42.-So universal was the prosperity
under this system, that the opponents OF
it did not dare 10 present the subject TO
the people themselves, for they would ma
turally have said in the language Of the
President, what can we desire more than
constant employment, and ample reward
for our labor!" Our workshops, which
under the former Bill were abandoned,
are now full of life and activity. Our
Cotton and Wooden Mills, that were then
closed, are in full operation. Our Furna-
ces, FORCES and Rolling Mills, in which
the fires were out, are now in full blaze,
and Illuminating every thing around them.
In a word, every branch Of industry now
receives that benefit and employment that
was lately given to foreign capitalists and
artisans. Alas. how long will this happy
state ..of things continue! We say how
long, for the Tariff Of 1916 has but just
gone into operation.
We are told, however, that the leading
principle OF the new bill is REVENUE; that
the act Of 1912, ''by the excessive rates
Of duty which it imposed on many arti-
cles, either totally excluded them from I'M
portation, or greatly reduced the amount
imported. and thus diminished instead of
producing revenue"-and vet this same
document tells US that under this bill, az
ter all the expenditures of the Govern
ment were made, there was a balance in
the Treasury on the first day of july last,
of nine millions, one hundred and twenty
six thousand, four hundred and i%hirty-nine
dollars. Ii this, then, was not a revenue
what can be called such!
Was not the Treasury without a dol
lar when this bill was passed, and that too
in a time of peace and Of ordinary ex-
pendiiure? But the gross inconsistencies
of this portion of the Message are such,
that he who runs can detect them, and at
once discover that there is at the head Of
the Government a partizan. rather than a
Siatesman-an advocate Of foreign, rather
than domestic labor-one who appeals in
one breath to the labOring class, and in
another cuts down.their wages. taxes their
comforts, and %curtails their enjOyments.

The sun beneath the western main,
With golden crest retires;
His RAYS no longer illume the PLAIN
Nor gid the lofty spires.
Sill deeper grows the ev'ning shade
The DAVIS past-the night has come
The works Of man, aside are laid,
And daylight toll is done.
Happy the man whose day is spent
With industry and care;
He calmly meets the coming night,
Without a rising fear.
Not thus the man who idly spends
The morning of his days,
Him grief or deep remorse attends,
And meets the night in dismay.
Then, mortals! seize the transient hour
Improve it as it flies:
LIES but aday-man but a flow'r,
And soon-alas. he dies!
Yes, o o the night of death doth come!
Haste, man! thy work complete,
The hour that lays thee in the tomb,
That thou in peace may'st meet.
