The creation of large national debt by
the late war, and the consequent neeessi-
ty for depending to large extent upon
custom duties for means to meet our obli-
cations, naturally attracts attention to
the subject Of tariff on foreign impor-
tations, aud the kindred question of pro-
lection to American manufactures. PRO
lection Leagues and Free Trade
Leagues, have recently been formed,
and both have their representatives IN
Washington urging their favorite theories
upon the attention of Congress. Tariff
discussions, which at one time constituted
a large portion Of current political dis
putation, have been almost unknown du-
ring the last ten years, but the signs of
the times indicate their probable revival
and re-enlistment Of the public interest.

forcibly presents that side Of the question.
At the request Of friend Of the same
way of thinking, we publish this produc-
tion on the first page, and commend 1t to
the attention of the reader.
Terrible and frequent as have been the
railroad disasters of late, they pale into
insignifcance when compared with those
that have occurred on river and ocean
steamers. Those of recent occurrence
may be numbered by the dozen, and the
victims by the thousand The telegraph
brings intelligence of two Of those fright
full disasters within few days past, both
of which occurred on Western river
boats. The steamer Miami, one of the
largest and finest passenger boats in the
Mississippi trade, exploded her boiler and
was burned last Sunday night, on the
Arkansas river, six miles from its june
ton with the Mississippi. The latest es-
innate places the number of lives lost at
about one hundred and fifty. The steam
er Missouri, about 3 o'clock on the morn
ing Of the Both ult. exploded her boiler
when near the mouth of Green River
The loss of life is estimated at one hun
dred. The details IN both of~these dis
asters are horrible in the extreme.

Ing another illustration of the terrible
results Of ignorant, careless handling
Of firearms. As we are informed,
several young people, having just re-
turned from sabbath. School, were as
sembled at the residence near Pratt's
saw mill, on Clear creek. Oneof them,
a young man Of about 18, named Mil-

near, and aiming it out of the>5pen
door, snapped it twice, without effect.

Of about fifteenyears of age, then max.
ing a remark as to the impropriety ol
such conduct on the Sabbath, he i'm
mediately turned, aimed tho piece
full at her and snapped itagain, when il
was discharged, sending the bullet
through her head, killing her almost
instantly. The young man in his ter
ror, fled, but was arrested and LODGED
in Jail to await an investigation of the
affair.
