The i'm ports of dry goods will at once strike the
public as excessive. 1t rs to be hoped that the
lew tariff has been so framed as to obviate this
ource of needless expenditure hereafter. There
pc earthly reason why the manufacturers ofthis
olntry should not produce all necessary articles
II dry goods. AS for ribbons, silks, laces, &C.,
which are not made in thfs country, it is only right
nd proper that people who desire to use such ar
oles of luxury should pay for them. Congress
ill fail in its duty if the customs tariff be 80
rawn as to lead to importations of million dol
|hrs worth of dry goods in a week. We don't
Fant them, and until the present war is ended we
Pannot afford to pay for them. The steady
Importation of hides, sugar, tea, coffee, lead,
|obacco, &C., will indicate to Congress the
articles upon which revenue duty may be sue
fessfully imposed. These articles we shall con-
inue TO import under all circumstances, and it is
s easy to enable them to yield revenue fifty mil
ions as of twenty-five 1t is believed that Congress
will act finally on the tariff question this week. 1t
to be hoped that it's action will be governed by
IN enlightened consideration of the public veal
nd that it will not allow itself to be influenced on
|he one side by the selfish representations of
|oreign importers or their agents. or on the other
~ the equally selfish opportunities Of home
manufacturers. The public have had quite enough

County Levy, 1862.

IN compliance with the provision dissection
l. Q Of Article % of the Code of Public
General Laws of Maryland, the following
statement of the levy for 1862, to meet the
current expenses of the County for that year,
ID herewith submitted aud published by the
direction of the County Commissioners Of
Allegany County:
The whole levy amounts to the aggregate
sum Of S35, 754 &c, for the payment of which
forty cents in each hundred dollars. upon the
assessed property i'll said County, were levied,
which assessment amounts to So, 1913, 740 for
the present year, exceeding that of the last
year S373,776. The assessment stands at a
higher figure now thar at any previous time
since the general assessment of 1852. This
large increase is the result Of much pains and
labor on the part of the Commissioners, in
putting upon the County books property and
persons heretofore unassesscd. 1t is proper
to state that sos, 900 Of the above was re-
turned by the Late Collector. 1t will be seen
that State and County tax Of S2,420 will
be thus secured not before realized.
The per centage for 1862 exceeds that OF
the previous year six cents in the hundred
dollars for the County tax. This increase is
owing to the insufficient levies of 1861, and
particularly those for tho roads, which IN
connection with several freShets within the
last nine months have rendered extraordinary
levies for that purpose absolutely necessary.
The amount appropriated at the late session
for the roads amounts to 81 ,430; for 1861 it
was only S2,847; 81 500 were levied for the
use of the City Of Cumberland in accordance
with long established usage, but this levy
was withheld from the city for the last year
or two. Had tho latter levy been refused,
aud that for the roads been kept at the
amount of last year, the per centase for the
County tax would have been less than "a
cents in the hundred dollars-which was the
levy for the year 1861.
The present levy for the State tax is TWEEN
ty-fve cents in the hundred dollars. IL was
pnt at that rate by the act of 1862. chapter
1886.

PATRoNIzE HOME ENTERPRIzE-Iti is now
the season of the year when our merchants
are laying in their annual stocks of wooden
goods, and we would call their attention to the
excellent quality of wooden yarns manufactur-
ed by ID. Furnel, of Wilton, in this State Mr.
f. makes pure article of all wool, free from
all admixture of cotton, and he uses only
nice quality of the raw material. We are glad
to learn that his business is increasing from
year to year, as the good qualities of his fab
rics become better known. True his yarn
may cost fraction more per pound, and will
require to be sold perhaps one cent skein
more, or else yield less profit to the seller,
than yarns manufactured in other States, but
when its quality, the size of the skeins and the
excellence of the colors are taken into account,
very few will hesitate to give it decided
preference. Mr.. Furncl is now supplying the
trade of the State. His son and travelling
agent, Mr.. james Furnel, will give our mer-
chants an opportunity, in few days, to test
the correctness of these statements.

IMPORTANT UNPUBLISHED LETTER.-The
following letter from Thomas II. Benton to
John NJ. Clayton, has just come to light, never
having been published till recently:
"July 2l, 1855. l hope you saw the chapter
on Mr. Calhoun's admission of support of the
Missouri compromise. 1t is heavy blow up
on his followers, who are not political party,
but sect, following their prophet and propa-
eating his doctrines, and to whom proof OF
fallibiity is a stumbling block.
Believe me, the feeling for dsunion is be-
coming current in the slave States, and almost
unanimous in some of them, and letter like
yours would do good in staying it. The slav-
cry question is u cover for the real motives,
which are, with politicians, ambition; with the
masses, belief that the Union works to the
disadvantage of the South, and that they will
do better separated. 1t is upon this feeling
that the nullifiers work and mask their designs
with the dangers of slavery, and are making
great progress. Yours, truly,
THOMAS III. BENTON"
