Oliver N. Smith, Esq., ID one OF his rerni-

Tristan Burgess, of Rhode Island
ssDuring the debate in Congress on fhe
tariff, in 1928, an amendmcns was offered Id
increase the duty on nolasses ten cents 4
gallon, being an advance Of ten per cent ad
valorem. It's object was to choke off the
northern members, and indirectly TO kill the
bill. The moment the amendment was an
nounced by the chairman, ID committee Of the
whole, Mr.. Bhrges, Of r. T., arose and implor-
ed the mover TO withdraw It. lie showed It's
effects upon the trade between the eastern
States and the adjacent islands, in timber and
the return cargoes Of mosasses, which was the
daily food of the poor. His speech was short
and to the point. Al he took his seat, Henry
Daniel, of Kentucky. sprang to his feet and
roared out at the top Of his voice Mr..
Speaker, let the constituents of that gentleman
from Rhode Island sop their bread only on
one side 10 molasses, and they will pay the
same duty they do now Mr. Bartlett, of
New Hampshire, remarked to me, Now look
out for Tristan; 81 Henry will catch it. Mr..
Burgess arose with fire bearning from his coun-
tenance and addressed the chair The relief
proposed by the gentleman from Kentucky is
but adding insult to injury. Does not that
gentleman know that established habit be-

ago, that his district produced large numbers
Of jackasses, hogs and mules. No stronger
proof of the truth of his statement can be
given than to look at its representative. ! ask
the gentleman to keep this extra duty off of
molasses, and commence its use among his
constituents, and, as feeble as our hold upon

we die. be permitted to go to his grave with

A Hold Reeonnoissance in Mobile marb.r

A correspondent of the New York Times
with the blockade off Mobile, gi7es the follow
ing description ofea bold reconnaissance into
Mobile harbor in the early part of December
The vessels blockading the harbor on the
18th ult were the Brooklyn, Oneida, Pembi
ma, Kanawha, Areostook, PinoIa, Kennebeck,
Pocahontas, r. r. Guyler and Montgomery.
They are anchored in asemi-circle about three
miles distant from Fort Morgan, with steam up
constantly, and springs, on their cables, ready
to slip at moments notice. 49,
The expedition into the harbor was composed
of a picket,s boats crew from the Brooklyn
and Pembina. under charge Of Lieuts. a. N.
Mitchell and Prentiss. The crew were armed
with eutlasses ard revolvers. With muffled
oars they pulled quietly in past the forts tosa
line of piles the rebels have been driving across
the fats between Forts Gaines and Morgan
1t was calm still night, and very dark. They
reached the piles, sounded along them as far
as they were driven toward Fort Gaines, then
back toward Fort Morgan, finding from seven
to ten feet Of water. They are pine logs,
driven from three to ten feet apart. They
pulled close up to Fort Morgan, so near they
could see the sentries distinctly, without being
discovered. The moon rising at this time, full
and clear, they hastened back into the shadow
of the piles, and taking their bearings from
them, pulled boldly out into the channel. They
were then seen from the fort, as signals were
made to the. steamers up above, and they came
down immediately, but not quick enough, as
the boat reached eur ship before they got to
the fort. The expedition was well planned
and boldly executed; its success does not
speak very well for the vigilanceiof the rebels.
We can see the steamers down on the fats,
driving the piles every day; there are some
times i've of them. large Mississippi built side
wheelers and it is very aggravating for US to
be obliged to remain quietly at anchor and see
them putting around, sending out huge clouds
of thick black smoke, and flying the rebel flag
in our very faces, without being allowed to at
tack them. There are many queries as to
their object in driving these piles. We suppose
they intend to prevent the gunboats running
over the fats and thus compel them to keep
the channel and run close under the guns oi
Fort Morgan but we all draw so much water
that it would not be possible for US to 60 over
the flats anyhow, SO their trouble is quite un.
necessary 4

On the first of January one of the gentlemen

was informed that Tyroe had sold the draft to .
