Duty on IcE.-The Mobile Register il

DUtr ON IcE.--Thc Mobile Register in
all article on the new tariff, says:
SO much has been said about the duty
on ice, that we cannot conclude this FAR
ticlc without some passing allusion to
it. The two dollars per ton on import
ed ice amounts to about one quarter
cen pound on consumption, two-thrdS
of all ice being lost in wastage. This
amount is 50 small, and the average
price of ice is SO low, that few will feel
the tax at all, and none sufficiently to
make it a hardship. To the Confedcr-
ate Government, OH the other hand, this
tax will bring according to competent
authorities, u revenue not less than a
quarter of a million dollars, as at least
l25, 900 tons are annually imported IN
to the Confederate States-quite an
important item to new Government
under the necessity of making wal
preparations.
