The TARIFF.-The new tariff bill now before
Congress. and which will be adopted. is arranged
solely to benefit Northern manufacturers and
holders of goods. 1t is said that that class of
persons will make two hundred millions of dol
lars by the operation of the new tariff. This sum
will come off of the people-the farmers and me-
ehanics of the country-and will be particularly
curious to the South. We presume those large
ly interested in procuring the passage of high
tariff act. creased the pockets of some of the men,
bers of Congress considerably.
Of course the interests of the southern people
are not considered by the radicals when they are
maturing measures for promoting monopoles and
extortion.
A Convention of Railroad Presidents met at
Philadelphia last week, and memorialized Con-
gress against the duty on iron and steel rails
imposed by the tariff.

CorroN Editor of the Augusta Chron-
icle, who is travelling in Georgia, says:
"Three. fourths of the land in cotton which I
have seen cannot, under the most favorable cir
eumstances make more than one third of an
ordinary yield. [ saw one field in Burke coun-
ty, of about 120 or 100 acres, which | am sure
will not make one bale of cotton. The same
land have seen in cotton before the war, when
it yielded from fifty to sixty bales. On another
plantation in the same county noticed field
of 40 or so acres which am sure will not make
single bale. | do not pretend to say that
these two, instances are fair examples of the
average prospect of the crop. l do say, how
ever, that they are by no means isolated in
stances have heard of numbers of such
cases"

GOLD AND CURRENCY.-Unless the southern
people had super abundance of paper money
in their pockets or at their control they need not
trouble themselves much about the price of gold.
At the North. where paper money is circulating
in profuson, the people are materially interested
in the rise and fall of gold coin: but here in the
South, where greenbacks are very scarce and
hard to get-there not being enough in crcula-
ton for business purposes-we cannot. or ought
not to be effected by the price of gold If prices
of goods or real estate are advanced in the South
because GOLD has advanced in the North. there
must be but little business done in the way of
sales. for the simple reason that our people have
neither paper money nor gold to spend freely,
and what little they have they will hoard rather
than pay it out at high prices.
At present gold is nothing more than COM
modify that is bought and sold in the market like
goods, wares, &c, and it is unfair, however much
it may be practised, to rate the value of every
other article along with gold. If our pockets
were Overlooking with paper money there might
be propriety. if not justice, in regulating
values by the price of gold,
We do not think there is the least prospect
that the paper money now in circulation will ever
become worthless. 1t is not likely, and scarcely
possible. that the psper money of IL Government
that has over five hundred millions of dollars paid
into it's Treasury annually can come to naught
The faith of the United States Government-ene
of the most powerful. if not really the most pow
erful, Governments in the worlds pledged to
redeem at some time, every dollar of genuine pa
per now in circulation; and we believe it will do
it if it has to double the present rate of
taxation. Therefore we advise people to get all
the greenbacks national bank notes they hon
eStly There is danger of being over
burdened or hurt with such things here in the
South for u long time to come-theories to the
contrary notwithstanding.

BIRTH PLACE OF BISHOP PAINE-A North
Carolina correspondent of the N. Y. Watchman
gives the following description of the birth place
of the venerable Bishop Paine, of the Methodist
Church:
'Passiug through Person county, recently, 1
visited the birth place Of the beloved and hon.
ored Bishop Paine of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South. 1t is plain, neat country res
idence about fifteen miles from Hillsboro. In
front of the house stands the largest tree ever
saw. 1t is a gigantic white oak, notable 10 the
section as the tree around which the British
stacked their muskets in the Revolution, and
beneath which the courts were held for season
after the end of the war;-so much larger than
the trees around it, it reminded me of the good
Bishop whose early childhood was sheltered by
its genial foliage, while the luxuriant orchard
around it suggested the fertile usefulness of
him who for scores Of years has been nursing
immortal plants in the garden of the Lord"

THE NATIONAL CONVENTIONAL communi-
cation from friend will be found in columns
TO day suggesting that county meeting be held
to send delegates to District Convention at Sal
isbury on the Oath inst, for the purpose of ap-
pointing two delegates to represent this Congress
siona District in the National Convention to be
held in Philadelphia on the I4th August,
We don't know that Southern representatives
i'll the National Convention can do any good but
many believe that we ought to send them any
how. AT first we were of opinion shat it might
be of some advantage to De represented in that
body, but on reflection disposed to doubt
it. The slightest imprudcnt declaration of a
southern delegate will strengthen the radicals,
and in large body of delegates it would be al.
most a miracle if no hot headed, imprudent man
to be found.
AS the South will be always ready to co op-
crate with any conservative element North
against the radicals, it would have been better,
probably, if the Southern States had not been in
ved to send delegates to the proposed Conven-
ton, but let Northern friends pull tho wires
and at the proper time we here in the South
would assist in doing the work at the ballot box
But if delegates to be sent. let them be ap
pointed in the way our correspondent suggests
by District Convention-and by all means let
cautious, prudent men be selected.
