Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.]
... WAsHtEa7oN, March II.
Difficulties seem to arise in uniooked-for
Ways. The new tariff act, passed by Congress.
and which goes into operation April 1st, Is
full Of iucoDgruities, causing the Treasury
Department vast amount Of trouble, and
seriously promising to lower, instead of rais.
Ing the revenue. Aside from this, the low
tariff Of the Southern Confederacy will soon
invite to southern ports that European trade
which now passes through New York, Boston,
Baltimore and Philadelphia The revenue act
Of the Confederate States is now in force, this
Government having received official inforu10-
ton to that effect. Experienced men estimate
the amount Of revenue under It to be $40 GOO
per day. At this rate it will take but short
time to raise two millions Of dollars, which
is really just SO much taken from the United
States treasury.
should foreign powers recognize the de fac
to Government in the Confederate States, they
will turn commerce into the low revenue
channels, and in any event, recognition or not,
vast amour. Of this trade, under the re.
straints Of the protective tariff Of the North,
will seek Southern ports.
These considerations hare impress ed them
sciyes very fOTc;bly on Mr. Lincoln anu his
Cablnct, and have been subjects of deep at
Isntlon among commercial men North and
East, who are urging IN extra session Of Com
eTess on this account, and demanding Of the
President that he shall call it.
