B. T. .... • The Tax on Manufactures. The following is the memorial adopted by the National Convention of Manufacturers, assem bled at Cleveland, Ohio, December 18, 1867: To the Hon. Senate and [louse of Representative:sof tlui United States, in Congress assembled; In proposing a plan for a change of internal revenue taxes, your memorialists would respect fully yet earnestly urge that the depressed con dition of industry and business throughout the country, burdened with difficulties and perplexed by uncertainties, demands prompt and decisive fiction. In a country so broad In its domain, various in its productions,and diversified in its occupations, it requires no small amount„ef statesmanship to harmonize the various interests and secure the largest amount of prosperity to, each. Exor bitant and exhausting taxation, long continued, will wither and blight the prosperity of any na tion, no matter how abundant its resources. We would'bcar in mind that all changes in taxation must be shaped to meet the wants, and keep in view the just discharge of the obligations, of the Government, and yet equalize the burdens and subserve the best good of the people; and would ask your attention to some leading principles im portant to be kept in mind : First—The industry of the country, engaged inprodueing staple and necessary commodities, should be unencumbered to the fullest possible extent;-andlf feasible, as we believe It is, all in dustrial products of prime necessity should be; 4 exempt, and all. taxes levied on luxuries, and other sources least justly obnoxious to the, peo- Becand—Taxation should be , simplified, and thus better adjusted for reliability, ease, econo my, and certainty of collection; and the employ ing of a sirallarnumberof ofilcials,easily reached and held rigidly accountable. With us, internal revenue taxes are but a late necessity, and therefore an experiment, in which the wisest will make mistakes, and must learn from their own imperfect efforts and the larger. experience of others. `. In Europe ; where taxation has been reduced to a science, it,is found that ample revenue can be realized from a few courses, thereby incurring but little : expense for the collection of the same. It is very evident that we can profit greatly by Imitating their example to some- extent, as our system is in many respects very oppressive and burdensome to the people, levying many times exorbitant taxes on articles of prime necessity, and not unfrequently repeating the same four or' five times during the transition from the crude materiehi,fo the final resting place in the finished fabric. or mechanism. • Notwithstanding the actual expenditures of the Government for • the fiscal year ending June 30, 1867, were $316,729,129, including the payment of the interest on the public debt, it is believed that the expenses may be reduced to within three hundred millions, without materially embarraes leg any of the great interests that have received the fostering care of the Government.. From the annexed sources, which arc both reliable, and most easily collected, the following sums may be realized as permanent sources of revenue : Distilled spirits (whisky) at least.... $50,000,000 Fermented liquors and wine 5. . ....... 7,500,000 Tobacco, cigars and snuff 21,000,000 Gross receipts (steamboats, railways, &c.) 11,500 ° ,000 Banks, insurance, railways, &c., (dividends and deposits,) 14,000,000 Licenses, with 50 percent. added to last year's receipts.... Legacies and successions Stamps Brokers' sales of foreign bills, gold, Miscellaneous Total $179,500,000 Receipts from customs 150,000,000 Total $329,500 1 000 Being a difference of internal revenue receipts. of but $75,204. from 'actual receipts from the , same sources for 1866. The amount to be real ized from each source may vary somewhat from year to. year, but in the aggregate will be con stantly increasing. We are aware of the difficulty ,of making accurate estima.tes, or ' finding exact statistics. If the estimate of the Secretary of the Treasury in his late report, that the Income of the Government under the present tax system will exceed its expenses only $9,000,000 for the fiscal year 1868, be correct, such reform in taxa tion as we ask is far less feaSible than we suppose. • But we remember that the honorable Secre tary's estimates in advance for 1866, made the in come $89,005,00 less, and the outgo $200,52:1,235 more than the returns since show. and also that his estimate in advance for 1867, made the total income, internal revenue included, of course, .V 34,6344,0 too /oio. So it may be that this esti mate for IR6B is not so critically accurate as to be a barrier In the way of what we ask. The amount to be realized front licenses has lit:en increased fifty per cent. on former receipts, mid it will be borne in mind that a license is really a tax on sales. This tax is the most relia ble.and satisfactory. on the \ list. It is simple and easily understood bralld one in which there is hut little opportunity for fraud, and can be easily increased or diminished as the necessi ties of the Government may require. It will be seen that the sources, other than customs, from which revenue gswill be collected, should the above schedule be adopted by the Govern ment, . have been reduced to ten, thus greatly slrepllfyirg our system of taxation, and abolish ing three-fourths of all the machinery now in operation for the purpose of collecting the ternul revenue, and saving to the Government at least $5,000.000 annually. All this can be done, , and yet all internal revenue taxes lifted from the Industry of the workers in our shops and mills, as well as on our farms. Our revenue ,once centered • on a few reliable sources, yielding ample means to meet the cur rent expenses of the Government, and to pay the interest on the public: debt, will stimulate both enterprise - and production, and give confidence and stability to. all. industrial and commercial pursuits: When we consider the large amount of revenue to be collected by the Government, in addition to the State and municipal taxes, and that there is to be thrown upon the Market annually, foil $6,000,000,000 fresh pro dnctions, to be bought and sold by forty mtllions of people, the import:nice of giving our pro ductive industry ficedom and ease is somewhat realized. • BY a comparison of our internal taxes with those of t nglandtaking . the fiscal year 1866, and re.elt ening both ' in our currency, we find English taxes $00.09 per cent. on valuation. United States taxes 03.93 per cent on valuation. United States taxes 16.00 per capita. Englibh taxes 10.92 per capita. French taxes 7.97 per capita. With such weight of taxation, heavier than that of count, ics we consider sadly burdened, we surely need, and should have relief. The rapid reduction which has taken place in the public debt since the Ist of September, 1865, amounting to $266,185,121 48, has demonstrated our ability to discharge in due time the obliga tions of the nation. The depressed condition of the business of the country demands an abate ment in this direction, that labor, the chief slid, cc of all our wealth, should be relieved from excessive taxation, and stimulated In the develop-. meat of tli6 resource s of the country. Labor increased our wealth from $7,135,780,228 iu 1850 to $16,159,616,068 In 1860. The same ratio, making au allowance of $4,520,732,313 for the wastes of War, will Increase the national wealth to $32,000,060,000 In 1870. In compari son with this, our national debt, which, by the tlecretary's last report was $2,511,800,013 33, will be neither, an embarrassment nor a terror. • , The proposed change reduces our taxes to' $K 67 per capita, estimating present population at thirty-eight millions. With the same ratio Of Increase of population 'and wealth, and decrease in expenditures, as ,Ahowtrln the tabular state ment in the Secretary's late report, the liquida tion of , the public : debt Will De accOMplished within the time therein proposed. • Wise 'lci.mholon that shall protect well 'our' commercial and industrial intereats, and give pernmneney and stability to all governmental affairs, will greatly increase the power of 'labor in our mids 4, which, when relieved of excessive taxation, will. soon make u. 4 the most prosperous and independent nation on the earth. Thus WO respectfully offer-and-earnestly - urge our views, hoping and believing , they will bear critical examination, and trust that in your wls.; tom you May see and feel the pressing deed and wide deinand fora radical and immediate reform in our syston of internal taxation. Syoxatuut , ,up f.)oinbustionl'llieacres. A correspondent of the' Prat 1110,11 . zette writes: "I was lately conversing with one of our most eminent scene painters upon the late catastrophe. at Ller.Majesty's Theatre, = gave his decided opinion that the ac- POW ROMP ,'there st the THE DAILY 27,900,000 2,500,000 20,000,000 3,000,000 21,000,000 r`.. 1.(21,. EVENING.BULLETIN.--PHILA cident prodbeded from spontaneous combus tion. Ile staled that large heaps of the debris and refuse of the:painting arid property rooms were often swept up together, and left to accumulate for years, and that he had often had reason to complain of• this practice and to point out the danger df it. He related one instance in which such a, heap had stood in a theatre for a long period, and after many complaints he induced the authorities to r`- move it, and the moment a spade was thrust into it it burst into flames., I see that in the Times a correspondent puts aside sponta neous combustion because scene painting is done with water color,which is not mflamma hie; but the danger, though sometimes existing even in the painting-room, lies more particularly in the property room, where varnish and oil colors are largely used, and where scraps of oiled rag, tow, varnish, sawdust and flue or fluff are swept up together with other matters. They only require to be damped, ae is not an un common practice, for the purpose of laying the dust, to induce eventually spontaneous .combustion. My informant also pointed to the case of Astley's Theatre ? which he stated was burnt down somewhat m this way from the sweepings of the sawdust and stables, and from his experience, which is very great, he felt certairethat manpother theatres had been so burnt." CuriouO,Whimo and Pecollartties of Locomotives. Every experienced engineer—to take steam engines as a sample—has noticed frequently, or repeatedly, says the Scialtific American; that while one engine developed its full amount of power, or that quota which was expected of it, another, built after the same patterns, with the same tools, and by the same workmen, failed to fulfill the design of the constructor. Sometimes it is difficult, if not impossible, to account for these differ ences, but it is noticeable that they are the more marked as the machinery is the more complex, so that it is natural to suppose that there is, somewhere in the details, a differ ence of construction, otherwise we must impute the variation to some mys terious agency whose operations are irre mediable-by mechanical skill. But even when the machine or implement is simple in its parts, or built after unvarying gauges, the differences may occasionally Ibe detected. The little pocket-pistol, which may be one of the thousands built by the same machinery and workmen, will, in some cases, differ widely in its execution, from others of- the same, lot, when a careful com parison fails to detect the reason. That there must be some variation either in quality of material or construction the mechanic is as sured, but he may not be able to ascertain what it is. Sometimes, however, the cause of. of difference may be detected. A case" in point, which we remember, was that of two locomotives running on the same road. the machines being so nearly alike that their parts were interchangeable, yet which differed widely in their respective performances. Repeated examinations of the working parts failed to reveal the cause. The engineer of the inferior machine spent many 'hours in "tinkering" and "coaxing" his engine, yet' still it refused to perform the work of its mate. As a last resort he mea sured the apertures of the exhaust pipes on both engines, and found that while those of the rival Machine measured, one-and-quar ter inches, his measured one-and-three eighths inches. The pipes being of copper, he "drew in" those of his engine one-eighth of an inch, when it performed even better than the other, owing, undoubt edly, to the better care which had been taken of it, and ifs more perfect condition. The difference in the diameter of these pipes was but a trifle, yet'no doubt it was the rea son of the variation in the work of the two locomotives. So it may be often that a slight change in the proportions or the actual di mension of parts may insure evenness and accuracy where the divergence and uncer tainty may have been remarkable and mys terious. To ascertain and remedy these. points of difference is the province of the intelligent, practical and educated mechanic. Exactness and accuracy of tools—of which ' we spoke in a recent number—and educated skill, are the true remedies tor these difficul ties. There is nothing about these differ ences whi6k . need be mysteriouaor undiscov citable. ',.., But there are some curiosities about ma chines which seem to be unaccountable. Every user Of a sewing -machine knows that from some unknown reason the machine which yesterday performed its work so well, so almost enthusiastically, to-day refuses to do more than _half its task, and does that half in a surly, indifferent manner. So with the other machines. Even the steam engine is subject to these fits. Is there some occult bond of sympathy between the operator and his machine, by which the latter is influenced by the mental condition of the former? for, it is certain that these differences cannot always be attributed to atmospheric or other external influences. This matter is quite hu morously and truthfully • treated in the sub joined extract: "It is perfectly well known to experienced, practical engineers, that if a dozen different locomotive engines were made at the same time, of the same power, for the same pur pose, of like materials, in the same factory, each of these locomotive engines would come out with its own peculiar whims and ways, only ascertainable by experience. One engine will take a great deal of coal and water at once; another will not hear to stick a thing, but will insist on being coaxed by spadesfull and bucketsfull. One , is disposed to start off, when required, at the top of his speed; another must have a little time to warm at his work, and to get well into ; 'it. These peculiarities are so accurately mastered by skillful drivers, that only particular men can persuade particular engines to do their best. It would'seqm as • it' some of these fes cellent monsters' declared on being brotight out of the stable, 'lf it's Smith who is to drive Stne, I won't go. If it's my friend il Stokes, I'm agreeable to anything!' `All locomotive engines are low spirited 'in damp and foggy weather. They hav a great satisfaction in their work when th air is crisp and frosty. dt such a time they are, very cheerful and brisk, but they stro Sly object to haze and mists. These are pents of character on which they are all uai ed. It is in their peculiarities and varietie of character that theyare most remark- 1e.% The railroad company who should co ign all their locomotives to one uniform stun( ard, of treatment; without any allowance for v ry t, ing shades of character and opinion, w uld soon fall as much behindhund in the worl as those greater governments are, and ever ill 1 be,who pursue the same course with the trer 1 piece of work failed man." i SADDI.I w. ° HAHN ENS, &c. rtANTON PRESERVED • • GINGER, —PRESE I.J Ginger in error, of the celebrated Chyloong also, Du ,ITT Oinks in boxes,imported • sale,by JO a.

I ne of the most interesting items that we have ritedirom the whalemen, wto have cruised in Arctic Ocean the past Summer, is the dig ' 'cry of extensive land in the middle of that , an, which may yet prove to be a Polar ritinent/ The :existence of this, land long been known, but owing to the passable ice barred along its shores, of its eat and character nothibg very definite has n known until this season. Baron Wrangell, famous Russian explorer, first communicated the-world the knowledge- of-its existence, as learned it from the Siberian Indians, and it Is nply marked on most Arctic charts r, "extensive Attend." It should .be stated that the Et Summer has been the mildest • and ost favorable • for whaling ever,. known our oldest whaiemen. One master says at ho did notseda piece of lee as large as his trd till he reached the Straits, and even be nd that, up to 72 deg., the sea was generally e from floating Ice. The weather, for the ost part, has been exceedingly mild, with , utherly winds prevailing, which has tended to tit the ice or drive it northward. As a result the favorable state'of the ocean and weather, , e ships havo'gone further north, this Summer an ever before, Some having reached as high as titttde 78 deg. 80 min. Captain Long, of the bark Nile,,who seems to - 1 -,ve, examined the land most attentively, having hied along the entire southern coast, has rawn a sketch of its appearance. It is quite levated, - and near the centre has an extinct rater cone, which he estimated to be 2,480 feet Igb. He named it Wrangell's Land, after the oted Russian explorer. The west point he amed Cape Thomas, after the seaman on his yip who discovered it, and the southeast point 'ape Hawaii. The names given by Capt. Long re so exceedingly appropriate that we doubt of "Geographical Societies of Europe and ' merles will adopt them, and call this land ' rangell's Land. Capt. Long has prepared for a an account of the Interesting discovery, which ...elusert here: Hoxoaur.u, Nov. 5,1857.—!!. M. Whitney, E sq . =to:—H,iiring my cruise in the, Arctic Ocean . season I saw land not laid down on any hart that I have seen. The land was first seen Tom the bark Nile on the evening of the 111th of • ngust, and the next day, at 9.30 A. M., the ship •• as 18 miles distant from the west point of the I nd. I had good observations this day, and made the west point to be in latitude 70 degrees 4fi minutes north, and longitude 178 degrees 80 e inutes east. The lower part of the land waa en thely free from snow and had a green appear ance, as if covered with vegetation. There was broken ice between the "hip and land, but as there were no indications of whales.' did not feel , justified in endeavoring to work through it, and reach the shore, which I think could have been done without much danger. We sailed to the eastward along the hind during the 15th and part of the lath, and in some place- approached it te , near a- fifteen mile-. On the 15th the weather was very clear and Pleasant, and we had a good view of the middle . and eastern portion of the land. Near 'the cen tre or about in longitude 180 deg., there is a • mountain which has the appearance of an ex i thud, volcano. By approximate measurement • I found it to be 2, , 180 teet high. I had excellent observations on the 15th, and made the south eastern cape, which I have named Care Hawaii, to he in latitude 70 deg. 40 min. north, and ion , gitude 178 deg. 51 min. west. It i- impossible to tell how far this Land extends northward. but as far as the eye could reach we could see ranges of mountain, until they were lost in the distance; and I learn from Captain Biven, of the ship Nitu ,tilus, that he saw land northwest of Herald Island as far north as latitude 72 deg. The first knowledge of the existence of this land was given to the civilized world by -Lieut. Ferdinand Wrangell, of the Russian Navy, who, I find. In 18.10, was an Admiral in the same ser- Tice. In his expeditions from Na hue Korymsk, in the consecutive years from 1820 to 1821, he Ms .talned. information from the Tschuktschl that on - elfir days, in the summer season, they could six: land north from Cape Jakan. From the appearance of the land as we saw it, feel convinced that it is inhibited, ar t ,there were large numbers of walrus in this vicinity,and the land appeared more green than the main coast of. Asia, and quite as capable of supporting man as the coast from Point Harrow to the Mac kenzie river or the northern parts of Greenland, which are in a much higher latitude. There is a cape a little to the westward of Cape Jakan, which has a very singular appearance. On the summit and along the slopes of this promontory there is an Immense number of upright and pros trate columns—same having the appearance of "pyramids, others like obelisks; some of them with the summit larger than the base. The char acter of the surrounding country, which was rolling, with no abrupt declivities, made these' objects appear more singular. They were not in one continuous masa,but scattered over a large sttfface, and in clusters of fifteen or twenty yards, with intervals of several hundred yards between them. While at anchor near this place. Captain Phil lips, of the Monticello, came on board and drew my attention to a large black place on the slope of one of the hills, and said he thought It was coal.' We examined it with the telescope, and it had a very distinct appearance of coal. It glis tened inlheomt, and appeared like a large sur face which had been used as a deposit for coal. It was about one and a half miles in length, and one-half mile in breadth, the country surround ing it being covered with vegetation. From 17.7, to 170 degrees east there were no indications of animal life in the water. We saw no seals, wet rllB, whales or animalenhe in the water. It ap peared almost as blue as itdoes in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, although there was but from fifteen to eighteen fathoms in any place within forty miles of the land. I think the position have assigned to this land will be found correct, as Mr. Flitner examined my chronometer on my arrival, and found it only one and a half miles in error, I have named this northern land Wrangell's Land, as an appropriate tribute to the memory of a man who spent three consecutive years north of latitude 69 deg., and demonstrated the problem of this open Polar Sea forty-five year: ago, although others of much later date have en deavored to claim the merit of this discovery. The'west cape of this land I have named tape Thomas, from the man who first reported the land from the masthead of my ship, and the southeastern cape I have named after the largest island in this group. As this report has been hurriedly prepared, I would wish to make more extended observations qn the subject, which may be of benefit to other cruisers in this direction, if you will allow me room in your paper on some future occasion. Yours; very truly, THOMAS Leal. The next interesting inquiry relates to its extent. As near as we can learn, after diligent inquiry, no one landed anywhere on it, though several vessels coasted within a few miles of it. The southern shore runs a distauce of about 100 miles east and west. How far it calends north is at present only a matter of conjecture. Capt. Bliven, while cruising near Herald Island, north latitude 71 deg. 20 min.. west longitude 175 deg., and distant about 80 miles from the south east point of Wrangell's Island, saw the moun tain ranges extending to the northwest as far as the eve could reach. He thinks it not improbable - that - it extends north several hundred miles. If so, it would appear to be of great extent,perhaps sufficient to be termed a continent. By taking a chart of the Arctic Ocean, and marking the land from two points named above, it will be found to lie about seventy miles distant from the Siberian coast._ The straits between the two shores are usually blocked with ice; but this season they have been quite clear. Capt. Long thinks that a propeller might readily have steamed far up north either on the west or east side of this land, and made full discoveries regarding its extent and character. The following letter fiom Capt. Raynor con tains some adoitional particulars relating to the northerly current past Herald Island, a circum stance noticed by several masters,. and which tends to confirm the opinion that the newly dis covered land extends some distance to the north. In the channel north of Herald Island the sea was clear of ice as far north as the eve could reach' from the vessel that went farthest into it: Honommu, Nov. 1, 1867.—ilfr. Whitney—Sin : In compliance with your regliest, I'sdrui a short account of a large tract of land, lying in the midst of the .Aretic Ocean, hitherto but little known. This land has heretofore been con aidered to be two Islands, ono of which is marked on the English Charts as Plover Island, which is laid down to the W. S. W. of Herald Island. The other is simply marked ~"extensive lands with high peaks . ' On my last orgies I sailed along the south and east side of this island for a con- Womble distance three different times, and once cruised along the entire shore, and by what I considered reliable observations, made the extreme southwest cape to lie in north lat tude 70 deg. 50 min., and east longitude 178 dec.. 15 min. The southeast cape I found to lie north latitude 71 deg. 10 min., and west longitude 17t deg. 46 Min. The South coast appears to be nearly st eight, with high, rugged ellils and entirely n. The northeast coast I have not ex, andi,ed to any extent, but' itappears to run from t southeast cape in, a northwesterly direction feu "blot fifteen or twenty "miles. and then turnk to the north and northeast. I learned front °apt'. Jiliven that he . traced it much further north, and 'has seen others who traced it to north of latitude 72 degrees. I think there is no doubt that It ex tends much, further to the north, and that there is another Island to the east of It, say In longi tude 170 degrees west, and to the northw;t. of Point Barrow, with a passage between it and the land I have just described. My reason for think ing so Is this : We always find ice to tko south of the known land further to the south than we do to the eastward of It. The current runs to the northwest, from one to three knots an hour. In the longitude of 170 degrees west we always find the ice barrier from fifty to eighty milesTup ther south than we do between that and Herald Island, and there is always a, strong current set, tingle the: northwest between these localities, unless prevented by, strong northerly gain (for in such shoal water as the Arctic Ocean, the cur rents are changed easily by the winds), which Would Indicate that there is a passage in that di rection where the waters pats between 'two bodies of land that hold the ice, the one known, the other unknown. I would add that the southwest cape of the island described above, lies seventy-five miles distant from the Asiatic or Siberian coast. Yours, very truly, Go. W. R z Aysou, Master of ship Reindeer Solomon's Temple Exhumed. The London Times publishes an interest ing letter in relation to the discoveries at Jerusalem, from which we select the follow ing: "The colossal foundations of the temple wall, which are .'stones of. ten cubits and stones of eight cubits,' laid„ ,b i y Solomon or his successors on the throntvrare now being laid bare at the enormous -7: di 490 feet and more beneath the preset 4 ; j 1• 'ne The 4 bridge that once spanned AA• r 1 c between the palace of Zion aul IPllrstnple on }loriah is now proved to have igen upward of 150 feet high. If this be, as it seems, the ascent to the House of the Lord, which Solomon showed to the Queen of Sheba, we cannot wonder that on seeing it there was no spirit in her. The pinnacle of . the temple on which the tempter placed the Saviour has just been uncovered to the base, and is found still to have an elevation of 18C feet. The statement of iosephus is therefore no exag geration. If any one looked from the battle ments into the valley he would be giddy, while his sight could not reach to such an immense depth. Sections of the ancient wall of Ophel have been exhumed,' showing that, as Josephus' says, it was joined to the southeast angle of the Temple. Aque ducts, cisterns, rock-hewn channels and passages have also been dispovered within and around the harem, throw ing new light on the buildings,.l3ar rangements, and the services of the temple. The great work of a complete exploration of ancient Jerusalem is thus fairly and auspi cionslycntnmenced. The opportune visit of the Sultan and grand vizier to this country, and the representations made to the latter by the Archbishop of York, followed up as they have been by the energy, the wisdom, and tact of Lieut. Warren and his admirable staff, have smoothed down Moslem prejudice, re moved local, opposition, and thus brought about opportunities for excavation and ex ploration such as never occurred before; and , besides, large numbers of Arab laborers have been trained to the work, and are eager to be employed; and the exact points for suc cessful exploration are now well known.
