The Vital Dontrina.

Henry C. Cary is publishing a series of
essays on the question of tariff duties, from
which we quote the following which ex.
presses the essence. Of the policy which alone
will carry the country through its trials:
T. To the internal revenue, therefore, must
we look for little, if any, less than $3.50, 900,
000 To the enforcement OF protection we
must look for its enlargement, and thus it Is
that now, more than ever, we are to look to
the tariff as the means OF raising revenue.
The more mills we build, the more mines
we sink, the more water powers we improve,
the largerwiH be the value OF land, and the
larger will be the revenues Of counties and
of States. The greater the variety and eX-
tent of our manufactures the more numer-
Gus will be the exchanges, the greater will
be the value of shops and ware houses, and
the larger viii be the revenues of towns and
cities. The greater the quantity of COM
modities produced the larger will be the
contributions of manufacturers towards the
Federal revenue. The greater demand for
labor the-higher viii be wages, and the
greater the consumption Of tea and coffee,
rice and sugar, tothe great advantage of that
revenue. The larger the reward OF labor
the greater viii be the immigration Of labor
ers, to the great advantage Of the owners Of
the lanl and of the men by whom It Is titled.
The nearer the market to the farmer the
richer he will grow, and the greater viii be
his power to make, without inconvenience
to himself, contributions for the support of
the governments of the State and Of the u
Mon It is the reverse Of all this, however,
that is desired by the wealthy capitalists
of Europe. They wish to separate the pro-
ducer and the consumer, and thus to in
crease to the utmost the tax Of transpOrta-
ton. They desire that mills and furnaces
shall not be built They would have our vast
mineral wealth remain undeveloped. They
would compel Us to carry rags and corn TO
England to be returned IN the form of pa
per. They would have the price Of labor
kept down to the famine price, and thus
destroy the existing inducements to immi-
grafton. They would, if they could, drive
the government into bankruptcy, and thus
forever destroy all hope for any permanent
maintenance of the Union.

The Exeess Of Quotas,


The Provost Marshal General recently is
sued an order, in which he decided that no
reduction Of quotas on the last call fs
draft would be made, except on actual en-
listments since that call This order was re-
garded at the time of its issue as manifest
ly unjust, for the reason that many sub-dis-
triets had furnished an excess on previous
drafts, with the object OF being prepared for
new calls. The order contcmplates a repu-
diation of all credits for such excess, and we
now see that a resolution has been introduc-
ed in Congress to inquire into the justice of
the decision of the Provost Marshal Gener-
al 1t is clearly just that the people of all
districts should be treated alike. If the
people in one district BY their activity and
liberality in paying bounties more than fill
their quota, they should receive credit for
their liberality and exertions; and if those
OF another district are tardy and penurious
in this respect they should reap the conse-
quences of their neglect. We hope that
Congress viii clearly define the meaning of
the law on this subject, and that justice will
be done to those districts that have furnish
ed an excess of men heretofore.

GEN. ALFRED H. TERRY.


5 This gallant officer, who led theland troops
in the famous assault on Fort Fisher Is a
native of Connecticut, and is about thirty
FIVE years of age. He has been in the SER
vice during the whole war. For the eff
cient conductsat the reduction of Fort Pu-
laski. he was nominated Brigadier General.
He fought at Pocotaligo, S. G.. in October
1862, and was at the capture of Morris Is
land. In April, 1864, when the Tenth Corps
was ordered from the Department of the
South to report for duty to Gen. BUTLER,
prior to the movement up the James River,
and the occupation of City Point and Ber-
muda Hundred General TERRY came
North with his command, and was tempo
rarily placed at the head of the corps, while
it was in process of reorganization at Glou-
cester Point. Inall the battles on the James
riyer-at Richmond Turnpike, Drewry' S
Bluff, Deep Bottom, Petersburg, and on
the Varina, New Market and Charles City
Roads-G General TERRY's division was ac-
lively engaged, and in the superb handling
of his troops he established for himself a
high military reputation for skill and yalor,
and was repeatedly complimented ingeneral
orders. When General GILLMoRE was re-
leved from the command of the Tenth
Corps, General TERRY was appointed his
successor, and his scomrades in arms were at
one time very sanguine that he would be
retained at the head Of the corps, particu-
larily as he had just received, the breyet IL
tie of Major General for gallant and merito-
rious conduct But Major General BIR-
NEY was appointed. Late in November, the
Tenth and Eighteenth Corps were. consoli-
dated, under the name Of the Twenty fourth
Corps, and again General TERRY was com
PEELED to give up the command of the Corps
for the subordinate position of leader OF the
First Division of the new organization. He
was not long in this command, however, be-
fore a chance was given to distinguish him
self more highly than ever The first expe-
dition to Fort Fisher having proved a fail
ure, second was organized which, under
his leadership, has proved a success, the
result full justifying the Judgment and
sagacity of General GRANT in the selection
of its commanding officer

HON. G. ". sooFIBLD.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Philadelphia DAILY Netcs, in writing to that
paper under date of January ilth, makes
the following allusion to Hon. G. w. SEQ
FIELD and his reply to Mr.. Brooks Of New
York:
zone of the rising men of Pennsylvania is
Hon. GLENN w. SCOFIELD, the able repre-
sentative of the Nineteenth Congressional
District. On Friday last he delivered upon
the floor of the House Of Representatives
what Is by common consent acknowledged
to be one OF the ablest speeches of either ses-
sion Of the present Congress. 1t was areply
to one delivered by James Brooks, of New
York, who, IN most elaborate manner,
undertook to pronounce a criticism upon
the anti-slavery portion OF the President 5
message. Mr.. Brooks, with all his idlOsyn-
crasies, is man Of no mean abilities, and he
who can SO well succeed, as has Mr.. SEQ
field, in making him vince, and bringing
him to his feet to let off such a wonderful
discharge of bile as the delivery Of 0lr.
Brooks reioinder proved may well lay claim
to no small share Of qualification. l
doubt if more complete exposure of the
falacies OF our opponents could well be
made; certainly | have never seen a better.
1t Is refreshing to behold how MIR. SEQ
field shows up his opponent inconsisten-
cies-how the hollowness Of his objections
to the Constitution of the United States are
revealed how he portrays to the core the
arrogance of the slave power, not only with
great vigor and clearneSs, but in style OF
diction as grand as it is fauitless. His refu-
tation of the absurdity that tlfe South. can
not be subiugated was as inimitable as his
proof of the utter want Of a parallel between
the revolution and the slave holders rebel
lion-except in the existance of the tories
and ndcopperheads- graceful and sarcastic.
[ regret that your limited space forbids the
publication entire Of this speech, as | regret
my inability to extract parts lest L should
mar the beauty and harmony of the whole
The nation owes thanks to Mr. Scoield for
his truly admirable and timely speech; and
while the noble effort has won for its author
an enviable position among his fellow mem
bers, know his loyal constituency will hail
him with, if possible, greater acclaim and
deeDer pride. - -. r.. --s.-

Mysteries of the Income Tax,

The New York gifJune says: I'VE wish
the gentlemen named in these lists, who
live in four-story brown-stone houses, or
board at the Fifth Avenue or Clarendon
House on incomes of 5000 to !, 700 each
would tell US how they contrive to do it.
There are evidently secrets in their style of
housekeeping which we have never mastered
So the eminent lawyer ard financier who is
Sen. Mcclellan S next friend, and is p0pu-
laTily esteemed q millionaire, has only, it
seems, $4,000 a year, instead of the $50
900 TO $4,000 which has been laid to his
charge while the lawyer who was probably
the largest admiralty practice in our city,
charges his clients 50 moderately, that his
income Is barely $2, 5I4 per annum. This
world is evidently better than its reputation.

Col. Gowan, OF Boston, coming down
from st. Petersburg, throuah Georgia and

sea Of Azof stumbled upon some oil wells
which the natives were working in very
different way, and which the Colonel bought.
He then came to Paris and London, organ
Ized company, sent out men to work the
wells, and ships to carry to London and Liy-
erpool the products, and they are now pay
ing handsome dividends. But what is more
surprising still, the Colonel, in eturning
lately from the Black Sea to Paris. Stopped
on the way at the Island at Sames, on the
eastern shore of the Mediterranean. where
he found and bought another oil we'll
What Is still more curious, this well was
spoken OF by HERODOTUs, the Greek histo-

Roads on the 18th ultimo On the Dist it
blew hard ftom the Southwest. They made
the best weather and rode easier than anv of
the other vessels in the fleet. All the tran
sports cut and ran, though he thought that
quite unnecessary. After the fight he in
quired OF the commanders Of the monitors
how they passed the ordeal, and they seem
ed to think they got along we'll The small
Ter monitors, Mahopic and CanonicUs, at the
time almost disappeared from view, and the
commander of the former vessel complained
of discomfort, owing to the decks leaking,
but the vessel was in no danger At any

Rnmors About Blair,s Mission.

The Hera7ES Washington special has va
rious rumors concerning Blair's visit to
Richmond. One is that Blair brought au-
tograph letters from Davis to Lincoln, say
ing that he was ready to treat for peace, and
that communication from Lincoln, has
been taken back to Richmond expressing
a willingness to send or receive commission
ers. Many well informed people in Wash
ington look for important results from
Blair second visit to the rebel Capital.

A Letter from Jeff. Davis.

The Richmond Whtg of the 18th publish
es an important letter from jeff Davis, in
reply to letter of Senators. from Georgia,
in which they took ground against the reso-
lutions introduced in the rebel House, in IA
vor of reconstruction. Jefferson Davis ar
CUES that a convention Of the States is en-
tirely impracticable, and that any peace
movements ON the part of individual States
tend only to the creation Of discord in the
Confederacy. he says that the only plan
by which peace can be obtained is provided
for in the rebel Constitution. He does not
state what this plan is, but proceeds at
length to show that all propositions are ftl-
tile; that the United States viii not negoti-
ate, that they viii only accept a surrender,
which the rebel States cannot and viii not
grant.
