New Tariff Hove.

WAsHINGToN, May l9-Hon.Wm. ".
Boyce of South Caroliua has made report
in the House Of Representatives, from the
Select Committee on the Tariff, &c 1t
takes ground that the protective policy
should be entirely abandoned, and resort
as carly as practicable 10 urr-rv ,uAa.rvn
as measure Of economy. Articles of
prime necessity should be taxed at the
lowest rate Of duty, and the burden thrown
rs much as possible on luxurios. The
navigation laws should be so modified as
not to require any portion Of the officers
and crews Of American ships to be Amer
lean seamen, and that American citizens
should be free to purchase and sail foreign
built ships, on entire equality with Amer,
ican built ships, aud the American coast
ing trade should be open on terms Of per-
feet equality to foreign vessels.
The Committee say that they do not en-
tertain the hope that they can inaugurate
this new policy now. Such radical changes
must be the work of time. They do not,
therefore, look so much to immediate prac
teal results as to the effect on public opin
ion, and thus ultimately insure the til
umph of the principles they advocate

The ALPACA.

Since we noticed the importation OF lot
of apacas into this port, Says the New York
Tribune, we have been repeatedly asked,
What are they good for?" The best proof
that they are good for something that We can
furnish, We find in the following item;
"The largest single manufacturing estab-
lishment in the world is now in operation at
SAltaise, England for the manufacture of
cloth from the wool or hair of the alpaca
goat. The va4tness of this great work will
be seen from the following statement which
applies to only one department: The weaving
shed contains one thousand two hundred
looms; the length Of the shafting is nearly ten
miles, and weighs between six and seven
hundred tons; the steam engines required to
work these shafts are equal TO 1880 horse
power; and the looms in one department ere
capacIe of weaving thirty thousand yards, or
nearly eighteen miles, Of alpaca cloth every
day, and an aggregate length Of 5,6S8 miles
Of cloth annually. The building covers six
acres Of ground"
We cannot only raise the wool in this ooun-
try but can cover six times six acres of
ground with machinery and Steam-power to
manufacture it, whenever the sovereign rulers
Of America discover that it would be tar
better 10 manufacture our own wool than it
is to import cloth. - JEdShiHgtOR States.

LEGISLATURE OF Virginia.

The last We heard from our Lesig lators, as
sembled in Richmond, was, that they were
discussing the conduct Of Com. PauldIng
This is melancholy
When we look to Washington, we expect
to see the Representatives OF the nation In
yestigating 40 illegal and outrageous act OF
an officer Of The Navy; but when We turn 10
Richmond, we expect TO see the representa-
tives there assem- Died, devoting every moment
# their time in endeavOring to do something
for the good of our old Commonwealth, when
now, more than at any period OF her history
calls for Legislative relief.
Our people are grooming under heavy taxa
ton to keep up the credit Of their State.
Our public improvements are lsugulshing
for want of aid, and our merchants are sink
ing under an oppression, which grleVous IN
times of prosperity, is ruinous in Crisis like
the present. Is this time then for our
Legislators to be wasting the precious time
of the people in passing resolutions and
making BuncOmbe speeches, which are OF no
earthly use?
How long are Federal politics to be the
curse Of the Old Dominion? Cannot the
press of Virginia discuss the action OF Paul
ding, as well as the Legislature? Cannot
we trust our Delegates and Senators 10 Con-
gresS 10 faithfully represent Virginia upon
this question? Let US at least wait until
they have acted III this matter, and If they
mis.represent US. then let Virginia enter

Discipline Oh Board a Man OF War.

An officer Of the United States frigate Con-
gress, which has just returned from a cruise
Of two and a.half years, during which she
has sailed % 900 miles, writes to the Journal
Of Commerce, as follows:
"The new mode OF discipline, without fog
sing, is producing q rapid and decided
change in the character Of seamcn: and in
almost every particular the change is OF the
most desirable nature. There is, perhaps,
less promptness aud energy in the move
ments OF some who formerly Jumped to the
ropes from fear Of the cats" and that class
of reckless, bold, and daredevil spirits, who
seemed 10 their native element only when
the storm was highest, and hOwled through
the rigging with most terrific violence, is to
some extent passing away. But there is
rising in its place q seli.respect and intelli

POlartZ ation.

The magnetic attraction OF the "unerrng
needle" is a subtle and mysterious agency.
We we're told the other day of an incident
that occurred several years since - our eff
cieut county Surveyor, Mr.. Barnett, which
proves that there are local magnetic attrac-
tons in this region that seriously effect the
reliability OF the compass needle. Whilst
surveying the lands then owned by D. llig-
glnbotham's heirs, and as be approached the
top of Carriers mountain, just back OF DIR.

able and extensive DETECTION of the needle
from what he imagined to be the true North
ern direction. After running number of
courses, in order to find out the local cause
of the DETECTION, he at last reached large
isolated dark-colored rock, just on the sum
init Of the mountain, at which point his nee
die marked a DETECTION of 80 degrees from
the true line, thus having com pletely reversed
its proper direction. The rock doubtless con-
tanned q large amount of metallic character,
sufficient in extent to overcome entirely the
polar magnetism of the compass needle
This is the first instance in our county
where the Surveyor has observed such seri-
Gus local magnetic influence; and but for
his thorough knowledge of his business, be
may have been led into serious mistakes in
his work Of surveying. charlottesville Adv.

TO Prevent Cars running OF the Track.

4 German scientific journal contains soma
valuable hints on preventing cars from ruL-
ing off railroad tracks. Where The road
forms q curve of 29UO feet diameter tue li'.
ference between the length OF the outer aul
the inner track is equal to five feet for every
1000 feet of road, when the gauge is four
feet, and neal ly six feet TO the 1000 for a sII.
feet gauge. This difference causes the inner
wheel 10 drag on the rail, thereby increasing
the resistance and wearing out the tire. Il.
By this cause, one Of the wheels gets worn
out more than the other, its diameter will be
smaller, and the motion OF the car 10 a
straight line will become dangerous from the
same cause.-the larger wheel causes the
smaller one To drag. If one Of the wheel,
dracs, the sliding friction produced thereby
gives tendency to the car to place irseIfcr5s
wise on the track II is dangerous, therefor.
TO run at great speed, even on curve OF oWD
feet diameter, and as this makes II necessary
in building q railroad to avoid curve. a,
much as possible, road through rugge!
or uneven country is very expensive. TIE
axles have to be made unnecessarily strong,
as they have to sustain a twist from the SAM
cause. An Austrian civil engineer under
took to avoid this difficulty by putting tss
wheels on separate axle each, uniting l5s
two halves by different means; none Of thea,
however, are found to answer the purpo'e
and there is still wanted some cheap 90.

The walker Excitement Dying Out.


The spasmodc effort OF the FILlituoters OF
the South to manufacture public opinion IN
behalf of General Walker, has proven an
abortion. The movers OF the resolutions
in his behalf, and condemnatOry OF COmmO-
dore Paulding'S course, in our Legislature,
have grown 80 ashamed Of their own course
that they permit their darling resolutions t.
sleep, unnoticed and unhOnOred, in the con-
fused mass of worthless papers upon the

ductlon of those resolutions, Indignation
meetings for Petersburg and other cities
were gotten up and attended by the wire

ginning in Washington to the meeting IN
New Orleans, brilliantly successful as IT was
INTENDED and wished for, has turned out
supremely ridiculous. The sound, sober
sense of the people has entirely too much
respect for national honor and the dictates OF
national honesty, and witbai too much intel

support, in any degree, OF one whose course
has exhibited neither respect Tor himself a.
