Probable Effects Of II Low Southern Tariff

The Albany Evening Journal apprehends
injury TO northern commerce if the southern
tariff is vigorously enforced, and for these rea-
sons:
"First. The northern importer will be in.
jured, because whatever is naeded for the
southern market will be imported direct; not
only because the duties are lower there than
here, but because, if imported here first, they
will be subjected to additional duties when re.
shipped.
''Secondly. Tie northern manufacturer
will be injured, because, in the southern ports
no will be thrown into direct competition
with the foreign manufacturer. There being
no discrimination in favor of the ono against
the other, il will be, so far rs the hom"man-
ufacturer is concerned, as ir actual free trade
existed"
"These results, however, adds the Jour.
nal ''are dependent upon the assumption
that there is to be no interference with the
plans Of the Southern Confederacy. But
Congress has power, should il be convened in
extra session, to pass laws which, If enforced,
would very materially interfere with these
adrotly concocted schemes of the seceders.
"Tbus far the general government has done
little moro than look on at passing events
Tho Gulf States have had everything their
own way, and their machinery has worked as
smoothly as if il had been in motion scorc
Of years. Tho time Tor counter movement
does not appear yet to have come. But it
will come. Aud when it does, many things
may occur to thwart tho plans and purposes
of the South"

tt C Transit of Slaves through Free States

The Democratic organ in this city is per.
fectly willing to grant the right of transit of
Southerners with their slaves through the
free States. In this it is more liberal than
the Democrat, the organ Of the Unon de.
mocracy in Louisville, Ky, from which we
quote below. But it is no uncommon thing
Tor our dlsunon democratic print, to be moro
pro-slavery than democratic papers in the
slave States:
''lf we claim the right of transit, We ask
more and involve ourselves in an inconsislep.
cy obvious to all men.
"lhe Southern States are Jealous Of thei,
right to fix the status of the negro in their
own limits, and will not tolerate the slightest
interference with any law or regulation they
may choose TO make; can they consistently
or s1tey interfere, even for their own benefit,
with tie right Of the Fr-e States to do the
same' Will we ask Of others what we would
not grant to thCmi
"Besiles, what would this right OF transit
involve! Some time must be allowed for &C.

A truth that lives forever.
Flake follows nnke like spritcs
Whose wings the winds discover.

Beam follows beam. TO cheer

The National Loan and the New York
Banks.

The following is from Samuel Hallet s.
Cos last American circular:
The Banks are likely to be we'll reward
ed for their patriotism and pluck in assum-
ing, at one of the darkest periods in the
history of the rebellion, the responsibility
of supplying government with the meaEs
of suppressing it. They have taken their
proportion of the S50,0OO,OO0 six per
cent. 20 years loan at a price that will
produce seven per cent, which is about
81 90. The average price of government
6's from lS49 to 1860 were at least as
high as ll6, or 2+ 30 above what the
banks have just purchased the 20 year
loan at The probabilities are that, for
the next twelve years, the rates for money
will rate lower than for the past twelve
In comparatively short time this very
loan will sell at rates that will not yield
the purchaser over per cent. The Sc
curItIes OF all stable governments command
higher prices than any other, for the very
good reason that the greater includes the
less. The aggregate must be stronger than
the individual. Below we give the highest
quotations for United States 6's from 1912
to 1850:

Strength of Padueah.

/ At Paducah affairs are quiet. The lat,
reported trouble between Generals Smitl
and Wallace there, proves to have beer
greatly exaggerated, and in reality NOT
worth mentioning. Paducah is now prob
ably, the strongest point of defence in the
whole Western Department All that art
could do to make it strong has been done,
and small garrison can now Lold il
against greatly superior odds. Trees have
been filled in whole circle around the
town, while the only avenues of approach
are commanded by formidable batteries
A person can hardly move in that vicinity
without being in range of some gun, or ov-
er concealed mine.
Up the Tennessee River, which has its
mouth at Paducah, the rebels are construct
ing gunbOats by using. instead of iron pla-
ting tightly compressed cotton bales
These crafts have not ventured any further

The editor of the n. Y. Commercial Adj
vertiser has seen a pair of Virginia made
shoes, such as sold for $3.50 at Richmond
last May, but probably worth double that
price at present. The leather is guiltless
of polish and as inhexiblc as iron. The
workmanship is primitive, the vamps and
quarters being joined together by means of
small tacks. The only stitching appears
on the sOles, which, however, are often SO
far apart as to permit easily an insertion of
penny between them. The stitches av-
erage half an inch apart, the material used
being apparently hempen twine spun in a
factory. The several layers of the heel
project over one another to the extent Of
one-eight of an inch, the maker never think
ing it worth while to dress the edges or
cllOr them. A dozen small nails in each
hold that appenIage to its place and pro-
trude rather an incOnvenient length through
the insole. A single hole in each quarter
| ermits the insertion Of piece of cotton
twine to lace the shoes, which are made to
suit either foot, according to convenience.

UNDER CLOTHING FOR WINTER-Mrs.
F. D. Gage gives some useful hints to un-
der-clothing for winter. She says The
hoop skirt is blessing in holding the long
dress from the feet, and giving the limbs
fair play. but they leave the body and
limbs too much exposed to the cold; this
may be remedied BY wearing flannel draw
ers over the cambria ones, made of dark
opera flannel, and lined with Canton fan
mel. Ladies in the East do this through
all the severity of winter, and 6ud one
pair of such flannel drawers equal in
warmth and protection to a half dozen
loose, heavy skirts, which are expensive
and require extra labor to keep them in or

The THOUSAND FOLD DEATH BoMB.-

The THOUSAND. FOLD DEATH BoMB.-
Mr.. Thos. Henry Spencer has invented a
fearful death-dealing bomb. 1t consists of
one large shell, including any number of
smaller shells, these latter again contain
ing explosive bullets, &c. The shells are
separate, not concentric. The fuse will
burn under water We have talked with
those who have seen the olter shell explode,
followed by eleven shells within it, and
Mr.. Spencer guarantees that none of them
can fail to explode. Out of three hum
dred experiments. not one failed. The in
ner shells, as We hinted, may each contain
an explosive bullet; in fact, the seven wives
going to st. Ives, each with seven sacks,
&C., were like this terrible death-dealer,
except in purpose. The fuse he asserts to
be entirely neW, and the only one that can
be depended on, being a new chemical COM
pound of Mr.. Spencer's invention. He
has long BEEN chemist and pyrotechnist,
and has devoted much attention to this
subject for fourteen gears.

health of several regiments from that State.

9th regiment:
"At this time We are in very prosper
Gus condition, as there wasn't enough mea-
sells to go round. We have about got rid
of that troublesome and unwelcome visitor,
and can now muster about as many men at
roll call as any company in the regiment.
There was time when we could not mus
ter over forty rank and file"
