Our Washington Correspondence. Wasutnaton, March 6, 1850. Lavaca, (Texas,) Feb 13, 1950. Sw Henry L. Bulwer’s Letter on the Cold Iron | Ruwalry between Lavaca and Indianola, for Con- Duty—Pennsylvania Koused—Mr. Cooper Goes tta Little too Strong—Caprtal Stock, however, for Buncombe. © Ah, me !?” says Hudibras, “ we tire on, The troubles dark that do conrpire on The chap that meddles with cold irom |” ¥ Cold iron i& one of the products of Pennsylvania. The people of that enterprising commonwealth have numerous furnaces, forges and foundries, in all parts of the State, and they turn out immense quantities of pig and bar iron, hammered and roll- ed, pots and kettles, stoves and machinery, steam engines, and various other articles; the profits up- on which depend upon the prices which the arti- cles command in the market. For instance, the tariff of 42 imposed a duty of 77 per cent upon cold iron, and this gave the Pennsylvanians a bounty from the government of 77 per cent to start upon. The tariff of ’46 reduces this bounty to 30 per cent, and is therefore equivalent to an advantage of 47 percent over the tariff of 42 to the consumer, which is a good thing ; but it diminishes the profit of the Pennsylvanians who work up the cold iron, to just the same extent This makes it bad for Pennsylvania. Itis always bad to lose a bounty, or have it diminished; and whatever may be the exact morality of the prosperity of one branch of industry sustained by a tax extracted from the pockets of other branches of labor, it is never given up without grumbling Hence, the policy of rotection is a mighty good thing in Pennsylvania. ven a duty of thirty per cent. extracts thirty per cent. from the pocket of the consumer, whether he purchases the imported or home manufactured article; and just as clearly the increase of the duty is anincrease of the bounty. The tariff, there- fore, is a practical thing in Pennsylvama. But we do believe that the day of supporting home manu- factures by a tax upon the consumers, has gone by. Certainly the South is not in a disposition to stond it any longer; umd there does not appear the shadow of a prospect of an increase of the bounty on iron for at least two years to come Pennsylvania, however, is sufliciently prosperous without the eid of charity of that sort which rebs Peter to pey Paul. The message of the President, bg com- municating the letters of Sur Henry L. Balwer on the navigation laws, and in opposition to an in- crease of the duty oa cold won, being taken up, | Mr. Cooper, of Pennsylvania, rose and moved the papers be referred to the Committee on Com- merce, and took occ > make a most capital | demonstration for By He considered this cold iron letter of Sir Henry, “intrusive, imper- tinent, and deserving of rebuke.” What would the South think it he had written a@ stricture against the institution of slavery, as being repug- nant to the public opinion of Englaud? Mr. Bulwer had a penchant for giving advice. Some two yours ego he was hurried out of Spain for inter- ering with his advice in their domestic affairs. And it would be a geod thing if he would study the case of Poussin, who, in undertaking to lecture this government, was dismissed and sent back to France. Mr. Bulwer’s advice was equally un- sought for; and Mr. Cooper did not thank him for ut, and so forth, Now, if any man supposes that that speech of Mr. Cooper does not make his tortune in Penasyl- venia, be is mistaken. {t will imunortalize him | among the sturdy men of the turnaces, forges, and foundries, and down in the very bowels of the hills of the Monongahela, in the coal mines. What right hes Jobo Bull to interfere in our domestic aflairs?’ We have licked bim out of the country twice, and if we choose to try it we can do it again; and we therefore say that Mr. Cooper is right in “spunking up” to the British minister. The fact 1s, we thik it would be a Godsend if we could get into a scrape just now with Johnny Ball, and it would be a master stroke of policy in | President Taylor to dismiss the British ambassa- | dor as he did Poussin, and push the thing into an open quarrel. In that event, the whole country would be at once united, and the slavery dispute | would be swallowed up in the unanimous uprising | of all sections tn defence of the Union That would | be the most conclusive way ot setiling the slavery question.

Wasntseron, March 2, 1850. The Case of Laeut. Shombourg. The Senate, in executive session, yesterday, pessed a resolution, declaring that Captain Shom- bourg ought to be restored to the army, and recom- mending him to the Presideat for the present va- cancy in the Dragoons. He was formerly a Secord Lieutenant in the Dragoons, under Colonel Harney; and, while at fome Western post, sent on his resignation of the office. But before it reached the War Department, be had been promoted to a First Lieutenancy. When thie new appointment reached him, he wished to accept 11, and so w ment.

This be did not do, as there was bo vacency; and, as it was a matter of some responsibility, he preferred to leave it to his suc- cessor, The © nate has pow taken the matter up again, and ptesented it to President Taylor, who will, no doubt, act promptly and astly in the pre- mises HL mistoke not, the President has already nomi- neted Lieutenant Ewell vacant Captaincy in the First.

The facts are undisputed by those who have had an opportunity of knowing that Lavaca has the handsomest site for a city on the whole coast of Texas, with commerci! advan- teges second only to Galveston. Itis situated oa a high bluff, about 25 miles trom the Gulf of Mexi- co, on Lavaca Bay, overlooking the bay and sur- rounding couatry for many miles around. Nearly all the merchandwe, for the thousands of mules west and southwest, is landed at this point, where the Texan wagons and Mexican two-wheel carts take it to its destination. There ia, you are aware, an average of eleven feet of water on the bar at Pass Cavallo, and the same depth can be had all the way to this place, by the removal of a very simple mud bar, which the United States should, in justice to this whole southwestern community, do. A dredging ma- chine, with a few thousand dollars, would soon ef- fect it, thereby saving to the Uuited States and individuals, in transportation, the whole sum ex- pended, in a very short time. Will not the able Texan delegation urge this matter? It has only to be in wired, into, and properly presented, to be speedily and favorably acted upon. Not more than seven feet can now be relied on, though vessels ieauenuy come up, drawing eight to eight and a ha feet. Merchandise or military stores landed at any point be:ween this and the pass, would be similar to landing them on the Jersey shore, and carting them up to, or beyond, New York, for the reason that it might be difficult to get through the Nar- rows. ‘This will give you an idea of the relative commercial advantages of the city of Lavaca over Indianola, or Ce) other talked-of town below, on Matagorda or Lavaca bays. A little time will show, conclusively, that this must be the landing peint for all weetern Texas, Santa Fe, and the great overland route to California. ‘The Pacific railroad must, if it takes the nearest and most feasible way, avoiding the heavy snows ot winter, inevitable by the St uis route, pass through a main part of ‘Texas, and if it does not start from Lavaca bay, it can be easily reached from there.
