1MpRovEMENT OF TAR RIVER

HIS Ercellency Dacid s. Red.
DEAR SIR: / am requested by the Commissioners
for the improvement of the navigation of Tar River
to hand you the enclosed Report of Col. Thompson
to the Board and to state that they have employed
Col. Thompson to superintend the Improvement and
that the work viii be prosecuted with energy as soon
as the necessary machinery and hands can be OBJ

From the above description of the works proposed,
and the estimate of their probable cost, it will be
seen that an improvement can be obtained efficient
in its character and at nconsidcrable cost that
had it have pleased all wise Providence to have
located Tar River few degrees further North, it
would have been eagerly seized upon and rendered
navigabe long since. Capitalists would have gladly
invested their money for that purpose and the De-
pots upon its banks would no sooner have been emp
tied by the numerous boats navigating its waters,
bearing their rich freights to Washington the impor
tant shipping port at its mouth, than they would
have been rapidly filed again by the stimulus which
would have been given to productions of all kinds.
And what ask is there to prevent the realization
of such future under present circumstances? Is
its extent in the whole South than the country ira
as iswell known, is further advanced in Edgecombe
county than in any other portion of North Carolina,
if not in the whole South and mari is abundant
there well in Pitt County, to render the lands
even yet fertile and enduring This improve
ent would necessarily be the great highway for the
abundant an accommodating productions of this pro-
life region they would seek it their natural out
let market; they would seek it because it would
be, beyond all question: the cheapest outlet they
could find bringing back at little cost all the require
ments Of the countrygroccrcs, salt, lime, plaster
and guano.

ington, who has taken the trouble to collect the
amounts in way which be relied upon, with the

THE TREASURY REPORT.

Our present Tariff admits Foreign Products at the
various rates of l00 80 % 90 To- 10 and per cent
duty with considerable free list. Secretary Guthrie
proposes to abolish all those but the 100 the % and
the free list retaining the Ad yalorem form ofmpOst,
but tmidy suggesting the conversion of the proposed
% per cent on Iron into specific duty equivalent to
% per cert the average price of Iron for the last
three or four years.
We do not hesitate 10 express our hearty approval
of the proposed change if it be effected in the spirit
OF Mr. Guthres timid but welmeant suggestions. The
conversion Of the present Ad yalOrem duty of thirty
per cent Iron into Specific equivalent TO twenty.
FIVE per cent the prices OF the last three years will
give TO our Iron industry that stability which VIII NOR

The vice Of present Iron duty is not its insult

at present. the impOst is quite high enough but as the
price sinks lower and lower the duty falls with it, so
that the mpOst which SIS per tun when good Bars
were in demand at $50 per tun, is but 80 when such
Bars have fallen to $50. The present duty is really
and largely Protective when Protection is least or not
at all needed, but proves delusion and snare when
through the depression Of the Iron business Protection
is really required Ii Congress viii but make the Iron
duty Specific in accordance with the Secretars sus

Europe. and the SILK Steel and Watches in return to
this country There certainly would be an immense
aggregate saving effected to the Producing Glasses by
the change we propose; for given amount of labor
would produce as much Steel aud as many Watches
here as in Europe while the Food would certainly be
grown with the same labor az at present. saving the
enormous cost now involved in the transportation of
the Food to Europe and it's distribution there aud d.

Artizans who consume it. But if the Country is

Secretary for including them in bis Free List They
