The Southern Tafif.

States, is the most SPECIFIC and us'iui coin-
o,ndium we have seen. The general cias-
,ifcation heretofore given by Southern
uapers is not correct guide for merchants
and others, because subject to speeihc ex'
csutions made in the original act or by
subsequent amendments. The abndge-
ment (Which we copy from the home
SoutllerIer) will inform importers OF the
duty they have to pay on specific articles
Il appears to be made up with view to
those articles which our merchants VIII I'M
port from the United States and other for
eign countries, which accounts Tor The
omission of sugar and other leading arti-
cles which will easily be obtained from our
own States. 1t should be read III view OF
the supplemental act by which the Provis-
ional Congress extended the free list. We
perceive that this schedule does not include
in the free list "gunpowder and all the
materials of which it is made" which are
admitted free by the supplemental act and
there may be other omissions.
1t may be well to remark Ito prevent
confusion) that the late United States Con
grcss, just before its adjournment revised
and amended the tarilrof that COnfcderacy,
but that our tariff was adopted before that
revision and has no reference to it
