From Me Sleabeamlle Hernld

Mr.. EDToR Having observed an advertise
ment in the Carroll Free Press, which stated
that the new Steam Mill in Augusta ground
twelve bushels ofgrain to one bushel of coal
consumed, and that it was driven by one of
Cope's improved steam engines set up by the
senior partner, Mr. N Cope. would remark
that the above engine was put up by Nathan
Cope, who also put up double engine for ne
IN Stewarts and Ridinger's saw MILL on his
improved plan, the work of which is unsurpas
Sc d in the State. We do not consume more
than 7 bushels of coal per day for two boilers
26 feet long and so inches in diameter. |
take great pleasure in recommending the i'm,
provement of N Cope, whom, consider one
of me best and most skilful mechanics, and
one of the ablest ond most scientific engineers
of the present age, JAS. r. M. STEWART.
Knox Tp, Jefferson Co, o.
We have understood that Mr. Cope is pre-
pairing to make his improved engines at Steu-
benviIle, o., so as to meet all reasonable de-
mands and will warrant them to grind from
10 to 8 bus of grain with one bush2l of
coal, owing to the construction of mill and
kind of boiler, the engine remaining, in all ca
ses, the same.

Free Trade ANA Direct Taxation.

The New York Courier and Enquirer says !:
THAT Jefferson Davis, in his late visit to
that city proposed the summary abolition of the
entire revenue system the extinction of the du-
tias the suppression of Custom Houses, and
more and worse than all, a sweeping dismissal
ofthe whole army of Custom House officers
lie wanted no halfway reform, under the
name of judicious revenue tariff, but would
be content with nothing less than absolute, un.
restricted free trade"
We are glad to see any developement of the
policy of the present administration : and this
coming from one of Gen. Pierce's Cabinet may
be considered almost official. How will the
manufacturers and mechanics of the North
ern and Middle State like the new policy AL!
duties are to be abolished, and foreign fabrics
are to be poured in upon us, to the ruin of
our own laborers. But the absurdity of Mr..
Secretary Davis plan will appear in this, that
it must end in direct taxation, which a portion
of the States in this Union could not possibl y
bear How would Mr.. Davis own State
the poverty y-stricken and repudang State OF
Mississippi, Ike to be called upon to'pay three
or four millions annually, to support the Gov

quest We should like to see how direct tax.

deed, when we look back, and note how many

the aid and advice Of those who are older and
wiser in the ways Of the world, we hope to
conduct our journal in n manner which will

Boats could not live in the rapids They sent
to Buffalo and obtained alife boat, which prov

falls. A small box Of refreshments reached
