The same journal an- nounced the re-nomination of the Hon Jesse D. Bright, late presiding officer of the body for re-election to the Senate of the United States, and also the nomination of the Hon. Graham N. Fitch to be his colleague—by the Democratic caucus of the Indiana Legislature. Asall know Mr. Bright well we need say noth- ing in explanation of his position as a public man. Of Dr. Fitch, who for some years past bas been out of public life, we have tosay that he served in the House of Representatives of the United States with great credit to himself and utility to the country. He was a leading member of the body, and is a gentleman of fine abilities of much more than the average attainments of members of the House, and of high personal and folitical character indeed. His nomination for the Senate embraces a high compliment to worth, mind and usefu!- bess as qualities requisite to make the success- ful American public man The Intellagencer says of the tariff bill last brought forward, by Mr. Campbell, of Ohio : “The subjoined statement has been careful- ly prepared as showing the reduction in the revenue upon imports, based upon the bill re- ported on the 27th ultimo, by Mr Campbell, of Obio, from the majority of the Committee of Ways and Means, entitled ‘A bill reducin; the duties on imports and for other purposes: ‘Schedule A.—A general reduction from 1€0 to 50 per cent.......... 82,000 727 50 Sehedu'e B.—A transfer of a few ar- ticles from 40 to 30 per cent , the residue being transferred to the free list, and retaining most of the prevent 30 per cent acheduie Schedule C —No change proposed in the present rates Schedule D shows an increase of $563 £43.05, by reascn of certain articles now paying 10 and 15 per cent , being included therein Schedule E.— A reduction of articles nd 30 per ae ceseeee 6,993,530 €5 Schedule F —By extending the prer ent free list and embracing arti- cles now paying 40, W, 25, 20. 15, 10, and 5 per cent 717,843 90 = Deduct increase schedule D. —_—— eae Taararec’s Farewatt Concert takes plece t: night at Carusi’s Sa'oon, on which 00 eesion Miss Mathilde D’Angri makes her first appearance before a Wa:hington audience in copjunction with Madame D’Angri.

One hundred and sixty-five Chinese guns were silerced and destroyed. Although the Chi- nese fought with spirit they had a severe les- son. The United States force lost five men killed end had seven wounded on boat and shore duty.

Protection.—From a late number of the Journal of Commerce we take the following communication, designed ag an argument in favor of “ protecting” (increasing the profits of) the manufacturers, by abolishing the duty on their raw material. We publish it because it seems to illustrate, with striking force, the selfishness of the proposition to discriminate in favor of the capitalists owning stock in woolen factories, at the expense of the great mass of the community; of those who wear woolen goods, who are to be taxed, according to the plans of the manufacturers, by keeping the tariff on manufactures of wool as high as pos- sible, and the sheep raisers of the country, by reducing the tariff on unmanufactured wool as low as possible The intelligent reader cannot peruse this communication without realising that the woollen manufacturers comprehend thorough- ly the effect of duties on imports That is; that to lessen the duties is to decrease the prices at which the respective articles—foreign and domestic—eell, and rice versa. If it is eo terrible a thing—so unjust to the consuming and manufacturing public—to levy 8 tariff on raw wool, ia it not equally unfust to levy a tariff on iron, salt, woollens, cottons, anda thousand other articles, which, enter- ing into the necessary consumption of our fel- low citizens generally, are practically raw matorials, absolutely necessary for the trans. action of their business, if not to their very ex- istence, as man’s necessary wants are now eupplied in this country? But to the letter, which is as follows : Free Woon ann Warm CLoraiNG For THE MuLtion.— Your correspondent ‘: Humanity,” in this day’s Journal, nay make his mind easy about woolen goods. Give us Free tot, anil the goods will speedily take care of thetnselves, for our native enterprise will be on the yxi- vere within 24 hours after the passage of a bill repealing the wool duty, to start new mills and machinery, to eupply the demand for numer- ous woollen fabrics now wholly imported from abroad, ard when they are fully under way, they will supply our market ¢o abundantly, that all duties on woolen goods. whetber 5, or 500 per cent., will be just as inoperative, practically, as aduty of a dollar per doren, upon foreign eggs, would be at this moment. It is the undoubted right of our millions to have all the comforts that abundant and cheap woolen clothing for their bodies can slons fur- nish, ia our severe and bitter climate ,—to shut cut the prime raw material, as we have done, is virtually to condemn a large portion of our population to an ertificial privation of some of the primest necessaries of life, and for what end? To give to small farmers who own a fow sheep. a beggarly sum of a few dollars on their wool in addition to its natural value,—or to give to wealthy farmers with larger flocksa small additional per centage on the capital they employ in that bracch of culture alone And for these comparatively insignificant ends even if our policy accomplished them,—whish is dves not, our suffering willions inour **Are- tic’? climate are to be curtailed cf olothing for their bodies and beds! Talk of selfishness of tho land owners of Britain in taxing food as they once did— whilst we virtually deprive cur masses of clothing suitable and indispensable to our climate; and for the paltry, unworthy object, of putting a few extra dollars into the pockets of some 200,000 of our wealthy ‘lords of the soil,’ who own a few sheep more or less’’ and whose interests are more stable and indepen- dent than those of any other classes of the community It is unworthy, unmanly, and pitiful, for aty of cur farmers, with millions cf acres of cheap virgin lands inviting their industry, to ask for * protection’’ on an article like wool, which is in demand at high prices all the world over, and it is derogatory to the wisdom of any statesman or legislator, in such a coun- try as ours, to advocate so impolitic, so narrow, £0 unjust, and co «rel a measure—not only to the manufacturing interest, but to the con- suming millions of our population, now shi ertng and suffering in bodtes, with the ther- mometer below Zero. New York, Jan. 26, 1857. The Damphocls —We think thie interest- ing ard numerous family deserves to have a special historiographer, euch as royal families in the Old World have sometimes posseesed. Diligent reading of the newspapers of the day would afford many contributions to the collec- tion. Thus we have by the telegraph this item ‘Com. Rowan has been dismissed from the navy, notcashiered. The latter would have forbid his restoration to the service.”’ Absa, old Truepenry, are you there? We have an idea that this supposed distinction between casbiering and dismissing is alto- gether imagina:y. But if, in spite of all the discussions of the las: two years about the re- form of the nevy, cfficers dismirsed on the sentence of a court martial for such causes as Com. Rowan’s was, are to be restored, Con- gress might as well abolish the nary at once, and the sooner the better. Another. Ex-Commercial Agent Fillibuster Fabons, being arrested on a criminal charge at New York, magnanimously refuses to give bail, and goes to prison to azsert his right to commit what the laws of this couatry regards ascrimes, with impunity, ‘‘ inasmuch as ho is a citizen of Nicaragua.’’ Is not that funny? A citizen of the United States has only to turn filibuster, and then he is not only privileged to commit murder, robbery, arson, and all other crimes in Nicaregus, but if he finds the thing a drug there, he may make occasional visits to New York for the sake of violating the laws in his native county, under privilege asa citizen of Nicaragua! Gov. H V Johnson's Letter.—We greatly regret that a want of space prevents us from publishing the elaborate letter from thie dis- tinguished étatesman to the committee of in- vitation for the dinner not long since given to Gov. Willard of Indiana, and Col Richardson of Ili. [tie replete with wisdom, patriotism, and a true conciliatory spirit, and embraces throughout its length views as to the future of ths Democratic party which must strike all with convincing force who having the preser- vation of the Union at heart realize as all ebould do, that that is a work that an united Demoeraey only can accomplish. ‘Of this manly letter and its author, our frierds of the Richnord Enquirer takes o6oa- sien to say, with truth, indeed: « At the present moment he feels called upon to renew his confidence in the National Demecracy—the only party that is conserva- tive ond powerfal enough to maintain at occs the rights and equality of the States anda constitutional Union. © are pleased to see that this admirable letter has been fully en- dorzed by the whole Democratic press of Cenr. gia—a gallant State that has never faltered in devotion to States’ Rights and the just rights of the South The letter is character ized by good sevse and sound principles It Jucidly expounds the requirements ofa sound Southern policy—points out the necessity of cultivating # strong and cordial eliianee with the faithful, constitution-abiding Demoerats of the North—expores our true political posi- sition in vivid colors—warns us against com- ing dangers and teaches us how to avoid them. The only hope for the South and the Union, is in the harmonious sectional eo-operation ot the Democratic Dar’, In the language of the Macon (Ga) Telegraph, “ Unless we wonld invite disruption and chaos, the party must be maintained in vigor and strengta t must be maintained first of all sn the Souta, because in the nature of the agitated, the United South must fur: broad and firm base for the Demoer: ucturo Tbe Northern Democracy cannot sustain themselves agsinat all the prevalent and popularfanaticism, except they are backed by allthe moral power of a unired South. It was a United South only which buoyed up the Northern consorvatives to the mighty efforts which carried Peunsylvania, Indiana, Illinois and New Jersey; aud it is all idleness and folly to expect aid from that quarter in future, unless we are true to ourselres—true to the great constitutional party of the Union.’’ Relief for the Poor.—We have been fay ored with the following correspondence, which Weare pleased to lay before our benevolent public : Wasaineton, D.C , Jan. —, 1857 _ Dear Sir: Your appropriate and energetic appeal to our citizens for the relief of the poor lias suggested the idea to me, that a fine con- cert could be got up and given for ite benefit, and in the management of which it would af- ford me great satisfaction to take an active part, particularly as my friend, Mr. Kieck- hoefer, has agreed to co operate with me in rendering its result in every way as satisfac- toy as possible. should. therefore, be very happy to meet, at asearly a moment as convenient, any two or three gentlemen who would be willing to aid in the undertaking, as I feel convinced that such a concert could be made equally at- tractive and luctative; and with the full tén- der of my best services, I remain, yours re- spectfully, W. Hexry Pater. Hon W. B. Maeruper, Mayor of Washington Mayor's OrFice, i Wasuineton, Jenuary 27, 1857. j To Mr. Wu H. Parwer—Dear Sir: With many, many thanks, your kind offer to give a concert for the benefit of the poor is ac- cepted I would cali on you to arrange the details, as you are so much more competent to doit all than I am, and I will cheerfully adopt and endorse apy arrangement you may make. Very respectfully. your obdt gervt., W.B Maarvubdek, Mayor. We learn that it is the object of Mr. W. H Palmer, our télented pianist, to render this the most effective concert of the season, and he feels sanguine of entire success, recorded, ashe will be, by Mr. Kickhoefer, who will place himself at the head of a full and select orchestra. We hear, aleo, of Mrs. Cecelia Young and Mr. Crouch haying volunteered their servicer, and we may therefore look for an unufual treat rs an incentive to the be- nevolezce an] charity of our readers. President Pierce.—In a lec'ure recently delivered in New. York, by John Mitchell, the Irigh patriot, on the life of Thomas Devin Reilly, wo find the following expression of opinion in relation to President Pierce : ‘The presidential term of (teneral Pierce draws to a close, and it is not the fashion nor the interest of any body to praise him. He is tho setting sun, and worshippers of that luminary look to the oust. Ho is the dying lion; and jackasses kick at him with their base heels. The object of my lecture is by no means political; but I know no reason why I should not avow that the friend: of Reilly are proud of the efficient literary aid which he brought in soprert of one of whom the annals of this Republic will record—long after the jealousies and animosities of present parties have subsided—that he was one of the purest magistrates and moet accomplished men that ever sat in the presidential chair ’’ Tze Cabinet.—A despatch from Indianapo- lis says that the came legislative caucus that unanimously renominated the Hon Jesse D.
