From the Augusta Dispatch.
Our New Tariff.

Provisional Congress of the Confederate States
is the most specific and useful compendium
we have seen The general classification
heretofore given by Southern papers is not
correct guide for merchants and others, be-
cause subject to specific exceptions made in
the original act or by subsequent amendments.
This abridgemcnt (Which we copy from the
Rome Souhtcrmc,) will inform importers of
the duty they have to pay on specific articles.
Itappcars to be made up with view to those
articles which our merchants will import from
the United States and other foreign countries,
which accounts for the omission of sugar and
other leading articles which will chiefly be
obtained from our own States 1t should be
read in view of the supplemental act by which
the Provisional Congress extended the free
list. We perceive that this schedule does not
include III the free list "Gunpowder and all
materials of which it is mmde,' Which are ad-
mitted free by the supplemental act and there
may be other omissions
1t may be we'll to remark Ito prevent con-
fusion) that the late United States Congress
just before its adjournmcnt, revised and
amended the tariff of that Confcdercy. but
that cur t'riff was adopted before that rcvs-
ION, and has no reference to it,
