Tariff or Free Trade.

Mr.. L. Worthington said that this
whole movement was carried on
with money contributed by the man.
ufacturers of Europe, who were, of
course, interested in the reduction
ofthe tariff.
Mr.. ]. 4. Pomeroy stated that ne
had been told in London by a gen
tlemen in whose veracity he had
perfect confidence, that 100000
had already been pledged by the
iron men Of England TO fight this
tariff question in this country the
coming spring. Eastern men were
also very anxious to have the tariff
on pig iron reduced, but they say
nothing about the reduction on bar
iron.
The above we clip from the Ga
-ette OF the Goth ult.. in an account
of proceedings OF mrrtins Lald by
the iron men of Cincinnati, on the
day before. 1t is significant in more
senses than one. 100000, given to
help free.trade in this country, by
British capitalists! Mr.. Pomeroy
is gentleman who would never
make such statement, unless he
belieued, in fact knew upon undoubt-
ed evidence that it was true. We
would not say that the Gazette got
any money for its sudden change,
for We cannot believe the Hon.
Richard Smith to be so unscrupulous
and hard up. Still we cannot help
but feel more resigned, in this view
of the case, at the Ga=ette's sarcastic
retort upon us of ''chedp service" in
our advocacy of protective tariff.
We frankly acknowledge it is cheap
service, as we receive no pecuniary
reward for advocating the RIGHT.
In this view Of the case it is a
''eheap service" Did the Hon. Rich
ard Smith desire us to understand
it in this light?

The Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
yasld.
From the Richmond 7Thig. December 2ad.l

lfFrom the Richmond whig, December 2ad.l
The prospects of the central line OF
communication between the Ohio Val
| ley and the Virginia tide water are
now very bright. Unless seme un-
foreseen events adverse to the present
plans occur, we believe that the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad will be COM
pleted in somewhere about two years
from this time. an effect will be
wrought By ii upon the condition oi
Virginia. especially of this city,
which viii be so beneficial that the an
ticipation of the event should stir up
enterprise and set on foot plans for
manufacturing and for taking sdyan-
tage Of the new and extended COM
merce that will follow.
We learn that the new company pro-
pose to proceed with their measures at
an early day. Their plans are not set
tied upon, but We believe it will be de-
ternlined to begin at once the censtruc-
ton of the road from the Ohio east
ward to the Big Bend tunnel, some
twenty or thirty miles beyond the
White Sulphur Springs. That will be
the longest tunnel on the whole road,
and cannot be completed in less than
two years. By finishing the road
west of it and the short line this side of
it also in that time, the whole line may
be opened the moment the tunnel is
finished.
This is so clearly the proper and
practical mode of going on with the
work that We have no doubt it will be
adopted by the company. There is no
feasible way ofgetting around the big
tunnel with temporary track, and the
time will be 50 brief before the road is
finished that an attempt al a temporary
track would be unwise and uncalled
for unless it could be made at very
trihing cost. The road, as it is built
from the Ohio eastward, will do a good
business. Every mile will pay in that
fertile country.
When the road is completed to the
Ohio, The company may turn its atten-
ton TO the eastern division this side Of
Coyington and consider the several
propositions that have been mooted.
Until then We are sure they will bend
all their energies and means TO con
Meeting the tidewater with the Ohio.
This line, this central route with its
easy grades and low depressions to the
mountain passes of Virginia once es-
tablished, The country that it trarerses,
including vide belt on either side of
it, will at once become field of enter
prise and industry not surpassed by
any in the Union. 1t has beea long al
most an unknown territory, yet
Astounding in wealth.

| COLUMBUS, u, Dec. 2o.
The certificate of the Columbus and
South Point Railroad, with line from
Columbus, through Circleville, Chilli
cothe, Jackson and Ironton, 10 the Ohio
river, at Ashland, Kentucky, and east
ern connection with the Chesapeake
and Ohio, Southwestern, Lexington and
Big Sandy Railroad, the new road to
make sixty-seven miles, with an au-
thorized capital of Sc, 100000.
The corporators of the Columbus and
South Point Railroad held meeting
at the Neil House, this evening, and or.
ganized by electing Mr.. Ruggles, of
Pickaway, President, and F. P. L. Ba-
Der Secretary of the temporary meet
ing. Another meeting will be held to-
morrow.
There it isl You see it now citizens
of Gallipolis! While you have been
asleep your neighbors have been at
work. The Columbus and South Point
r. R. will be success. You can sit on
dry goods boxes till the day of your
death and predict its failure-still it
will succeed. LIVE MEN are at the
head of it. With this road and the
ono from Big Sandy to Cincinnati via
lronton, portsmouth, &c., what vhanou
have you for railroad connection?
None at all. And no one is to blame
but yourselves. Put that in your pipe
and smoke it. The Chesapeake &
Ohio Il. r. said they wanted connec-
ton with northern Ohio and the Lakes.
They gave you fair warning OF it. The
live men in Ironton, Columbus and
other places, took them at their word,
and by their acts say: we will meet
yon opposite Big Sandy with just the
road you want. Do you suppose they
are going to spend their money po'e to
build a road for you? Not bit of it.
We would like to ask our merchants
what is to become of their trade with
Kanawha, with these two railroads as
an outlet? You will virtually lose ev-
cry dollar of it. Mark the prediction!
Far better would it be 10 mortgage
half the county than to lose every
thing by old fogyism, inactivity and
want of energy. Yes, you had better
give it away to any one who has en-
ergy enough TO get under a log when
it rains.
BY the movement made by our
down river neighbors the c. & o. r.
Il. will have all the connections they
desired, or contemplated, and the mon
ey thus saved, by rendering a line
down the Kanawha Unnecessary, will
build double track, at once, to Big
Sandy.
We cannot but congratulate our
neighbors down the river on their en-
ergy and public spirit. They are live
men and ought to prosper. They are
not afraid of a few paltry dollars, but
rather than fail would give all they
have. One half such energy here
would have built a railroad long ago
to Hamden; the whistle of the locomo-
tive would have been heard far up the
Kanawha valley, and our population to-
day been 10000. Now we are--but
we cannot do the subject justice. Old
fogies! reqaiescas in pace.
