Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals Upon the Most Import ant Topics of the Hour. covm.n ivkbt day por svvhisq teleqraph. General Jackson on Froteciion. Frank the Tribune. We print to-daj entire General Jackson'i noted lottoron protection and free trade written to Dr. Coleman, of North Carolina (an avowed free trader), in 1824. General Jackson was then a candidate for President; Dr. Coleman wanted to support him, but could do bo with most satisfac tion and to the greatest advantage providing he would come out for free trade. This he refused to do, but avowed himself heartily for protec tion. Ills reasons do not need to be vindicated nor re-enforced; and we ask our readers to scru tinize and weigh then carefully. The World, having been shamed Into printing them, proffers the followinp; plea In abatement: 1.' These are General Jackson's "crude first thoughtrt," not "the revised opinions ot his riper judgment." To which we answer: General Jackson was over flitv-scven years old when he wrote this letter. lie had been a prisoner of war more than lorty years beiore. and had entered Con gress nearly thirty years before. Napoleon Bo naparte, born two years aficr him, had run his memorable career, and died three years before. If General Jackson's opinions on the tariff ques tion were "crude" when he was fifty-seven years old, It Is moist unlikely that they ever became "mature." And in fact, though party exigen cies somewhat modified his attitude in aftor years, there is no evidence, and no probability, that he ever renounced the opinions sot forth in this letter. The vital matter of General Jackson's letter is his conviction that the interest of our farmers required higher duties to be paid on foreign manufactures in order to create home markets at their doors instead of compelling them to rely on the remote and precarious markets of Europe. The World says he "was certainly mistaken'' in this; we thiuk he was eminently right: but the lact is unatfectcd by dissent or pproval. General Jackson regarded the free trade policy K8 that of "British merchants," la antagonism to. that ot American farmers. That happens to be "our sentiment, better expressed." And, if we could only get hold of the list of subscriptions to the funds of our Free Trade League, we have no doubt that it would strongly tend to confirm Old Hickorj'B view of the matter. The World concedes that what our country needed iu 1824 was a greater diversity of indus trial pursuits in other words, more ol her peo ple employed in manufactures, fewer in agricul ture but holds that General Jackson was mis taken in regarding protective duties as the pro per means to the desired end. General Jackson appealed to "common sense" in the premises, and we are sure he did not appeal in vain. General Jackson thought ttiat considerations of national independence and national defense required us to mine our own iron, copper, and lead, and grow our own hemp and wool, instead of buying them abroad. Herein we think he was eminently right. The World thinks other wiseor rather, tries to regard these considera tions as no longer applicable. But that they are, the failure and collapse of the late slave holders' Confederacy strongly affirms. Had the South been mining its own metals and weaving Its own fabrics in 1860-61, instead of buying them abroad and trusting in Cotton as King, it would have suffered far less and stood a far better chance of success in our late struggle. Shall experience teach in vain ? On the whole, it seems to us that the World's notions are "crude," and the views of General Jackson singularly sound and mature. And we think our subsequent history has signally tended to establish- the ripeness and statesmanship evinced in his letter to Dr. Coleman. ' GKIfEKAL JACKSON TO DB. COLBMAM. Washimoioh City, April 16, 1824. Sir: I bare had the bomor this da to receive your letter of tbo 21 Bt met., and with candor shall reply to it. Mr name has been brought before the nation by the people themselves without any agency of mine; tor 1 wish it not to be forgotten that I hare never solicited office, nor when called upon bv the conati tnted autbont es, have ever declined whero I con ceived my sot vices would be boneliclal to mr coun try. But m my name has been broorht beiore the nation for the first office in the gift of the people, it is incumbent on me, when asked, frankly to declare my opinion upon any political or national question pending before and about wfcich the country loeli an interest. You ask me my opinion on the tariff. I answer that I am in favor of a judieiaus examination and revision of it; and go far as the tarid before us em braces the design of fostering;, protecting, and preserving- within ourselves the means of national de tente and independence, particularly in a state of war, I would advoeate and support it. The experi ence of the late war ought to teaou us a lesson, and one nevor to be forgotten. It our liberty and repub lican form ot government, procured tor us by our revolutionary lathers, are worth the blood and trea sure at which thoy were obtained, it surely is our duty to protect and defend them. Can there be an American patriot who saw the privations, dangers, and oilheulhos experienced for the want of a proper mtani ot defense during the last war who would be willing again to hazard the safety of our country U embroiled, or rest ft for defense on Hie precarious' means of national resources to bo derived from com merce, in a state of war with a mariiimo power which might destroy that commerce to prevent our obtaining tbe means of deiense and thereby subdue nsf 1 hope there is not; and it there is, I am sure be does not deserve to enjoy the blessing of freedom. Heaven smiled upon and gave ui liberty and inde pendence. That same providence has blessed us with the means of national independence and na tional dofente. It we omit or refuse to use the gifts which He has extended to us, we deaerva not the continuation of liis blessings. He hus tilled our mountains and our p ains witn minerals with load, iron, and copper and given us a cll.natoand sou for the growing of hemp and wool. These being the grand materials of our national deiense, they ought to have extended to them adequate and fair protec tion, that our own manufactories and laborers may be placed on a iair competition with those of Europe, and that we may have within our own country a supply of those hading and important articles so tseutial to war. Buyond this I look at tbe tariff with an tye to the proper distribution of labor and revenue, and with a view to discharge our national debt. I am one oi those who do not be'ieve that a national debt is a national blessing-, but rather a curse to a republic inaamuoh as it it calculated to raise around tbe administration a nunered aris tocracy dangerous to the liberties ot the country. This tarifl I mean a judicious one ossesses more fanoltu) than real dangers. I will not ask what It the real situation ot the agriculturist? Where has tbe American larmer a murket for his surplus pro duota? Except lor cotton he has neither a foreign nor a home market. Does not this clearly prove, when there it no market, eithor at home or abroad, that there ts too much labor employed in agriculture, and that the channels ot labor should be multiplied f Common sense points out at onee the remedy. Draw fiom agriculture the tu(ierabundaiit labor, employ it in mechanism and manufactures, thereby creating a home market tor your breadstuff, and distributing labor to a most prolitable account, and bonetits to tbe eountrv will result. Take from atrrlnintiira in the United States 600 000 men, women, and children, ana you at once give a home market for more broad tuffs tban all JEuroDe now furnishes us. In nhnrt eir, we have been too long subject to the poller of the British merchants. It it time we should become a little more Americanized, and, Instead ot feeding the paupers and laborers ot Europe, feed our own. or else iu a short time, by continuing our present policy, we shall all be paupers ourselves. It if, thereiore, my opinion that a tare fill tariff is lruch wanted to pav our national debt and afford ut tbe means ot ttiat detente witkin ourselves on which tie tatetyand liberty of our country depend t and last, though not least, give a proper (list, lbution to our labor, whicn must prove beneiiulal to the happi Jims. Independence, and wealth ot the community. This Is a short outline of my opinions generally on the subject of your inquiry, and believing them cor rect and calculated to further the Droanniitv and happiness ol mv country I declare to you I would not i arter mora tor any omce or situation or a teua poral character that could be given me. 1 have presented vou my opinion! freely, because I am without -ouoealiiient. and shnu'd, indeed, des pite mvsell it 1 uoiUd believe myself capable of ao 4 mi in the confidence ot unv bv meant so iitnoble. 1 am air, very respectfully, our obedleut servant, Frogrwm of President Johnson's Ron them Policy Cheering Signs and Movements. From Me llorald. , It is a remaik able fact that, while Northern journals of tbe Copperhead genus discover from 6 ay to day in the proceedings of Congress a fixed purpose on the part of the radicals to Tylcrize the administration, the leading radical newspapor organs are beginning to recoguixn the good results and cheering prospects of President Johnson's Southern policy. Thus the Iribune, for example, has at length discovered that the work of reconstruction la progress at Washington is but the shadow of the substantial wotk going on throughout the South ; that whites and clacks, landowners aud laborers, are harmoniously co-operating for profitable crips of cotton, sugar, rice, tobacco, aud corn the coming season; that negro fuffrage need not be enforce i as the fiist ejwntial to Southern resto ration; and that there is every prospect that all the Bouthem States will bo represented In Con grobs beiore the close of the present session. Such admissions aud calculations from a radical journal of the straigbtest sect very broadly indicate the resistless advances and the final success of the restoration programme of President Johnson. His work goes prosperouRly on, while the two Houses of Congress are dis cussing constitutional amendments, and iinagin- inn dangers from the old secession spirit, still supposed, by such narrow-sighted poUticiaus as Thaddeus Stevens, to be predominant in tho South. But so it is that often, while philoso phers, reformers, aud political tinkers are per plexed with the disorders resulting from groat revolutions, they are quietly settled by the Jaw ot sell-preservation and self-interest operating upon tho people directly concerned. Self-preservation mggests to the Southern whites the necessity ot a good understanding with the blacks with whom they are intermingled, and sell-interest teaches the saving policy ol mutual collections between the two races. When, tos, as in the South, the numbers on each side arc u bout equal, and the labor of the blacks Is urgently demanded to rescue not only them selves, but tue wnites irom destitution, we have the strongest securities for the protection ot the bla-.'k race. What means, then, this late lettter of General Grant, in which he says that "for the present, and until there is full security for equitably maintaining the safety and rights of all classes of citizens in the States lately in rebellion, I would not recommend the withdrawal of the United States troopB from them," and that "while such a force is retained in the South I doubt the propriety of putting arms in the hands of tha militia?" This mean3 that, as the ltue Rebel States are now governed partly by thuir State laws and officers, aud partly by a superin tending Federal military authority, enforced by Federal troops, the communities thus situated are necessarily, more or less, in a disordered and unsettled condition. They cannot be otherwise, and especially when we take iuto the account the vicious and ignorant from the Rebel armies turned loose among an impoverished people. Hence, until order shall have been fully re established, General Grant recommends not only that sufficient movable bodies of Federal troops be retained in tho States concerned to maintain order.but that the militia of saitlStates shall not be brought out, because their presence in contact with the United States troops must iuevitably revive something of tho bitter hostile feelings of the war among the militia made up from the late Rebel armit s. It must be so among hot headed young men who have been taught nothing else but the divinity of African slavery, the baseness of the abolition Yankees, and Southern wrongs and Southern rights. Bux these intractable agents of mischief will disappear with the restoration of the Southern States to their proper relations to the Federal Government. A half dozen reckless, roving vagabonds in a region just emerging from the chaos of a great revolution may give the appear ance of prevailing insubordination to half a dozen counties. A&ainst such exceptional dis turbances the evidence s overwhelming that the responsible and influential men of the South, aud the great body ot the Intelligent whites, have in good faith submitted to the issues of tho war, and are honest in their professions of submis sion. But however well disposed the people of Alabama, for Instance, may bo to prove their loyalty, appearances will occasionally be against them so long as tbeir local laws and civil officers are regulated by Federal decrees and Federal soldiers. In the face of all these drawbacks, however. such has been the success of President Johnson's conciliatory policy of Southern restoration that the leading organs of the Northern radical school are beginning to . recognize it. Let the reconstructors ot the South in Congress try a little of his policy of faith in the honesty of c a 1 i j T .1 I,, i ouuiueru buuuiihbiuu. una mtjy win soon U13 cover that neither the harmony of the Union nor the political interests of the party in power win De endangered irom tne reaaraission or tbe now excluded States to both Houses, without any further conditions of security in the Federal Constitution. There is sufficient security for the Southern blacks as it now stands. The Army Medical Staff. From the World. Tbo bill recently introduced in the Senate bv Senator Wilson contains provisions in respect to reorganization of the medical corp3 of the army which ought never to become law. We give an abstract ot the sestion to which we refer: Section 14 provides that the medical department of tbe army shall hereafter consist of one turieoa general, with rank, pay, and emoluments ef a brigadier-general ; one assistant surgeon-general, with the rank, pay, and emoluments of a colonel of cavalry; nve rneuioai inspectors, wun rang, pay, and emolu ments of a lieutenant-colonel of cavalry t iixtv-firs surgeons, with rank, par, and emolument! ot m ijort oi cavairy; onenunarea ana tony assistant surgoonn, witn the rank, pay, and emoluments of captaiut of cavalry otter three years' service aud witn tue rank, pav, and emoluments ot fiist lieutenant ot cavairy lor the flrat three year - of tervioe; and five medical storekeepers, with the samo compensation as is now provided Dy law ; and tne vacancies hereby created in the gr de of surgeon aud assistant surgeon snail te filled by seloctiou Irom among tue staff and regi mental surgeons and assistant-surgeons of volun teers, who have serve! two years durintr the war; and assistant surgeons who have served three years .1 I ..... .1.-11 I - ' . . I " in iuo Tuiuuiwr Berviuv sunn v9 tuigiuie tor promo tion to the grade of captain. The maximum number of surgeons of the regular army, as now organized, is fifty. TUe bill before us, therefore, proposes to increase the number to sixty hve, and the fifteen original vacancies thus made are to be filled Irom volun teer! alone. This is wrong. It is an uuiust and unreasoning discrimination ajainst regulars, and makes it a misfortune lor a medical officer to have entered the aimy twelve, or six, or three months before the outbreak of the Rebel lion. Tbe true and just plan would be not to exclude either regulars or volunteers. Both are deserving. Let Congress provide a rigid exami nation for all candidates, and let him who passed the ordeal best be the first ou the list of fifteen, and so on to the end. As the law now stands, no assistant surgeon can be a surgeon in the regular army till he has served five years, and not then unless there be a vacancy iu the list of fifty surgeons. There may be, for example, ten or fifteen assistant surgeons who were commissioned a few months before tho war, who served on the frontier, ann have toiled and suffered throughout the war. Ought they to be excluded from competitive examination for the fifteen new appointments proposed by Senator Wilson? Clearly not. If lilteen volunteers are, by a rule of unfair discri URtion, appointed over the heads of these regu lars, w ho have seen more service than the volun teers, and are willing to submit to examination to test their relative acquirements, tbe avenue ot promotion In the corps of surgeons will bo nioro elleetuallv blocked than It was before. In a word, the bili of Senator Wilson makes it a disadvantage to have thought enough of the army medical staff to enter it before the war came. The bill before the Senate provides for the creation of the offices of surgeon-generals, assistant surgeon-general, and five medical in spectors, which exist under the act of Anril lr. 1862, but which will all lull and cease in that plud and welcome hour wherein Mr, Johnson pronounce the "existing Rebellion" ended. But the bill does not limit the selection of such ap- fiolnlroents from volunteers and proscribe regu ars. Why is the distinction made between these original vacancies and thoso ot tho fifteen surgeons? We would like to hoar an explanation. Free Negroes and the Naturalization Laws. From the Timet, . There are certain advocates of negro suffrage who profess to be willing, under certain condi tions, to see tho Southern States restored to their true position in tho Union without requiring them to assent to a gcneial enfranchisement of the negro population. Thus, a city Journal, published mainly In the interest of the blacks, says: "Only render it certain that an honest, Industrious, thrifty, intelligent negro shall not bo proscribed merely because of his color or race, and we will agree to' almost anything." If tbe journal from which we quote speaking, as it Is presumed to do, tor a very considerable radi cal party Is sincere in proposing to compromise, there ought to be little difficulty In coming to tetms. All that our contemporary professes to ask for his special clients Is provided lor in the Naturalization bill now before Congress. As far as Congress has the power of enfran chisement, that bill gives to the native-born negro the same privileges of citizenship as If he were white instead of black. It proposes to amend whatever Congressional acts of naturali zation now exist wherein the distinction of race or color it drawn between the two classes of our population. Wherever the explanatory term "a free white person" occurs in any of these sta tutes, this bill provides that such term shall bo stricken out. So, that here after all persons born, or to be born, within the limits and under the Jurisdiction of the United States, are declared citizens, and entitled to all rights and .privi leges as such. This is the broad ground on which conservative men believe that the advocates of negro enfran chisement may meet. It is safe ground, becauso it is constitutional: It is liberal ground, inas much as it forever abolishes that arbitrary dis tinction in our naturalization laws founded upon color; and It is fair compromise ground between the great popular party represented by the President and the party of centralization. If there be any halt-way meeting-ground between tbe two parties, it ought to be found in these proposed amendments to the naturalization laws. Those who detire to go f urther and provide special enactments lor the government of every parish district in the South, overlook the fact that the same authority enacting a municipal system for the South would Do compelled to establish local executors to carry it into prac tice. The detail of State and county legislation lor every portion of the late Confederacy might possibly be arranged as well in Washington as in the special localities concerned. But if even the barest semblance of State Government Is to continue to exist, the local authorities would have in the'end to be trusted to give the laws ciiect. It is not difficult to understand how such laws would be executed, or rather how they would fail utterly of being executed, unless at the point of Federal bayonets. The duty whicn Congress and the National Executive owes to the emancipated slaves is a duty entirely compatible With the full and speedy remission of every question of local con cern, including that of negro suffrage, to the States that have been temporal il.y alienated. In such a provision for the rer ognition of the citi zenship of the native-born blacks as is offered in the Naturalization bill, the freedtnan will have thrown over hiin the same protection that anv white citizen can lay claim to either at home or abroad. ' He will have an equal standing with the latter before our .National Legislature and the National Executive. And with this vantage ground he it leit to work; bis way out ot what ever temporary political disabilities the existiug laws of his State may impose upon him. The assurance of national protection and national recegnition which the black citizen thus acquires on the one hand, and tbe tutelage which on the other hand he undergoes while working his way by industry and intelligence towards local enfranchisement, ought to be alike advantageous to himself and to the whole com munity, lie is at once assured that be has cer tain inalienable rights as a citizen of the repub lic, and encouraged to labor and to self-improvement, which will hasten the dav of his nartici patlon in the rights and duties which belong to the possession of the suffrage. If. any fairer ground ot compromise is iikeiy to De round on tne subject of early reconstruction, we have not neara oi it. SHIRTS, FURNISHING GOODS, &o J W.

T Land of this Company consists of 120 Acres, In it ecklenburg county, Morth Carolina, 3H miles irom the town of Charlotte, on a branch of Sugar Creek, which stream furnishes good water-power for grinding the ores, This Mine was first opened in 1838 by a man named Car son, who worked it successfully for a number of years Be died In the town of Charlotte, In 1848, worth over hall a million dollars. 1 wo shafts have been sunk on this property, one of them feet, the other 60 feet, on different veins. averaglrg from two to three feet In thickness, which veins still continue on down Increaskvg In width and richness. These shafts are in good order, and ore can be readily taken e ut at ai y time. Other veins have been discovered on this property, ai.d tested, and proved to be very rich In gold. The ores of this mine are known as the brown ore, and very rich, yielding readily ai per bushel. This Is believed to be one of the best and most certain mines In the State, on account of the abun dance and quality of the ore, and the ease with which It is obtained and reduced. This property has been worked by Major Z. A. Gricr from 1840 to the breaking out of the wa r. This Company have purchased this property, and Intend to erect machinery and put the mines In Immediate opeiation. The many advantages of this mine over the mines ot Colorado and Nevada can hardly be estimated. , It la more readily reached, and hasabundance of fuel, with cheap labor. It can be worked all tbe year, and not, as In the case of Colorado and Nevada, be compelled to He Idie for throe or four months In consequence of the severity of the winter. This mine having been worked tor a long tine, proved to be a rich pay lng one. We do not, tbereloro, have to Incur tne risk there Is in an undeveloped property, but can count on large and Immediate retains on the Invest nicnts. II avlng an ore thut readliy yields ten dollars por buahel, some estimate can be made of the value ol this property. With tbe present Imperfect system of mining in this locality, and absence ot proper machinery, ten tons ot this oie can be taken out dally from every shaft opened. Estimating, say fl.teen bushe's to tbe ton, the dally yield will be nlteen hundred dollars from one shaft, allowing three hundred dollars per day for expenses. The net product will be 1200 per day; counting 300 working days to the year, the yearly proceeds will be 3ii0,0U0, which yield can be largely increased by extending the works. This Is considered a very low estimate of the capacity of this mine by experienced miners ot that locality. The Assayer of the' United States Mint at Charlotte, in speaking of this property, soys It has few equals In productiveness in that country, and with proper management and machinery the above product can be doubled.
