[Ooirespoudcoco of The PreßS.]
London, March 22, 1862.
The most startling literary news for some time Is
the announcement that Mr. Thackeray is about
resigning the editorship of the CornhUl JMttga*
siut r. Tlicre is much speculation as to the cause —
for to give up four thousand pouuds a year, which
Thackeray’s salary has been put at, requires some
strong motive. All that has transpired amounts to
Ibis—that be and his publishers (Smith, Elder, &
Co., 65 CornhUl) continue on the beat terms, and
that his principal reason is discontent with the cares
cl his editorship. Judging from the Magazine itself,
these cares have been few. The main labor was to
provide the monthly continuation of his own story,
** The Adventures of Philip j 7l for the rest, if he
threw forty miscellaneous articles in prose and
verse into a box, shook them well together, and
then took out nine or ton at haphazard, to follow
his own ? the result would have been a literary
hodge-podge like the CornhUl Magazine. He
must have exercised his judgment, however, when
he admitted Mrs. Stowe’s “Agnes of Sorrento,”
whose heaviness has much oppressed all readers,
and Mrs. Trollope's “Brown, Jones, ami Itobin*
son,” at once feeble and vulgar—the continuation
of which, let me tell you, wilier appear in tho
April number. As an equivalent, however, in the
Roundabout Papers vriU be given, by Thackeray
himself, the opening part of “ The Notch on the
Axe: a Story A-la-modt .” Richard Doyle will
not contribute to the April number.
Like most satirists, Mr. Thackeray is remarkably
thin-skinned, (you remember his internecine foud
with Edmund Yates, on account of an allusion to
his broken nose?) and, as editor of the Corn full ,
he has been pestered, it is said, with countless let
ters of abuse, advice, insult, pity, and contempt.
The mosquitoes sting the lion to death, and his
editorial correspondence has affected Thackeray.
His immediate friends assign ill hqaUh ftS & rea*
son lor his abandoning £lOOO a year—almost the
salary of our Prime Minister. But they declare
that, after the conclusion of “Philip,” in May, he
Will commence another novel. It is sail]) t9Q> Mutt'
he seeks leisure to write his long* threatened His
tory of the Reign of Queen Anne—as a continua
tion of Macaulay. lam confident that he has too
much good sense to think of it iu that light. Tho
massive power and pictorial grace ot' Macaulay
differ greatly from the quaint mannerism and cyhi
cal satire of Thackeray. For my own part, I doubt
the History. Thackeray-Is now cfose on gfjsy—
an age when few desultory authors care to sit down
to collect materials for a great historical work, the
composition of whiohmust occupy years.
Various persons arc named as likely to succeed
Thackeray in the Cornhtll editorship. The salary
will be reduced from four thousand pounds a year
to o?ie, and, at that, will be a great catch. Mrs.
Norton, the poetess, has been spoken of, but has
little chance, I should say. With all respect for
her sox, who are particular about their age being
hinted at, Mrs. Norton is half way between fifty
and sixty, and has not sufficient stamina to devote
herself to such man’s work as editorship. Resides,
ghe conducted the Court Magazine when it was
the property of Bull of Holles-street, and conducted
it to its death.
Anthony Trollope, author of “Doctor Thorne.”
and half a dozen other capital novels, would, pro
bably, have the first offer of the vacant editorial
chair, for his Framley Parsonage” much helped
(h? Magazine in its early days, hut fee bold? ft high
situation in the Post Office, the duties of whieh
sometimes take him away, for .months at a time.
Within the last fire years he has thus been seat to
the West Indies, South America, and the United
States. A tratelling editor would never do.
Perhaps, among the crowd of authors, able and
anxious to work lor a large salary, my small friend
Wilkie Collins has. most chance. He has no par
ticular engagement elsewhere, is a popular Maga
zine!, and has the ear of the public. She only ob
jection I know is this: Thackeray has not been on
cordial terms with Dickens since the Edmund
Yates affair; Thackeray will doubtless be con
sulted on the choice of his successor; Wilkie Col
lins writes for “AH the Year Round,” and is on
the most intimate terms with Dickens; therefore,
Tlmekeray may object to him.
Two monied men here, who took the All-England
Eleven crack cricketers over to Australia, to play
a match against the Eighteen picked players of
thftt world, are Messrs gpiyrs and Fond,
who go into all sorts of speculations. They have
just offered to take Charles Dickens to Australia,
to deliver his readings in the leading cities there;
(be time of-absence being les3 than eight months
in all, and the secured net remuneration, paid over
before he left England, being some seven thousand
pounds. A great offer —but Dickens will scarcely
accept it.
The recent anti- Government sensation in Paris,
which has led to numerons arrests and the suppres
sion or suspension of various ednoational institutes,
was causod by a ballad, “Le Lion du Quartier
Latin,’ ’ sang by the law and medical students, which
every one in Paris seemed to have by heart the
day after it was first chanted. Here is a transla
tion, such as it is. The words slaughter and quar
ter are Cockney rhymes, 1 grant you ;
No, no! onr young men are not dead!
They rise with noble wrath about them;
Let Caisar look bis gates be sped—
Twhs a yonng Lion roared without them!
He sleeps—you think ? To smile—you try!
But soon he’ll stretch his limbs for slaughter
He’s by!
Ha only sleeps with half an ays.
The Lion of the Latin Quarter.
The student marches on before,
The workman follows close, and wary;
They tvOaS It. gw SAtkideS they wore
In July and in February.
The race who did not fiinch for kings,
At Areola and Saroy’s slaughter.
He springs!
Along the tract the lion springs—
The Lion of the Latin Quarter.
Oh! France, our Franoe ! in tby thiok night
We grope our way to find the traitor; |
Bo long the gloom, bo faint the light, 1
Forgive us that we slumbered later;
But look! there shines the blessed day!
And faithful to the task of slaughter,
Away!
lie scents again bis hated prey,
The Lion of the Latin Quarter.
" Ah, fuddled crew! churning the dregs,
The lees, of the Imperial liquor,
Your revel’s on its latest legs,
The bright Bun makes your tapers flioker.
See how your eagle screams with fright ! v ’
He smells the blood of coming slaughter—
He’s right!
Eagle and eyrie’s but a bite
To the Lion of the Latin Quarter.
Come, if you doubt us - nay, or come
If you defy us—we are here.
Gee lid, the scholars, in our hoine ;
Babble your cynic dostrines there,
Old Nisard, good a moral in,
And Edmond About, sworn exhorter,
Come in !
Let’s see if ye a sneer can win
At the Lion of the Latin Quarter.
Sick of its lying, loud and long,
The People warns the Moniteur /
The People, by the students’ (segue.
Warns a “ third warning!”—ah! be sure
It knows you now a knavish thing;
On Aventine it calls to slaughter,
False King!
It bounds upon thee with fell spring,
The Lion of the Latin Quarter.
And thou, poor nation ! that has munched
Only five monarchs in your hunger,
’Twee hut a inor&el Jf.tt Mire crunched
This hundred years; but wait no longer !
Set to on him who pays the carte
This, your last feast-day; kill and slaughter!
Do smalt'
He smacks his lips for Bonaparte,
The Lion of the Latin Quarter.
Authorship and actorship are going together, it
seems, in the case of M. Fee liter, who has written
a play called “The Holden Dagger,” which will
be brought out, in a short time, at the Prinoess’
Theatre, with the author in the leading oharaoter.
This eyening, Mrs. Charles Kean (Ellen Tree)
boldly will attempt the old part of Violmitt , in
Mrs. Cenlivre’s Spanish comedy, “The Wonder.”
Advisedly I use the word boldly —for nearly forty
.years have passed since this lady, then abont 19,
first played this part, in London. In those remote
days she was slight in figure and handsome in face
The public will now see a Violante ot greator
weight than usual—Mrs. Kean being estimated at
two hundred pounds avoirdupois.

FIGHT AT NORTH EDISTO.
THREE COMPANIES OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
FIFTY-FIFTH ATTACKED BY FIVE
HUNDRED REBELS.
OUR LOSS, FIVE KILLED AND TWENTY
HISSING.
By the arrival of the United States transport
Atlantic, at New York, on Sunday night, from
Port Royal, April 4, we have the following intelli
gence :
An attack has been made by the rebels npon a
portion of the forces stationed at North Edisto. In
formation was conveyed to the rebels of the posi
tion occupied by three companies of the Fifty-fifth
Pennsylvania, and their capture was attempted by
three battalions, each five hundred strong, moving
simultaneously last Saturday morning, at daybreak,
upon their, separate positions. It happened that
two companies had moved their camps the day be
fore, and the two rebel battalions in search of them
were obliged ts retire, having effected nothing.
The third was less fortunate. Thirty men of com
pany F, Captain Bennett, nnder command of their
first lieutenant, were at Hannahan’s plantation, on
LUtle E(|i|to/ separated from the largo island and
the main font by a crick, the bridge over which was
destroyed by therebels, and thoirretroat completely
cut of. This insignificant force, thus attacked by 500
rebels, maintataed a dosperate defence for an hour,
falling back toward the bridge, of whose destruc
tion they were unaware, availing themselves of the
inequalities of the ground as a oover, and partially
screened by the thick fog, through which, however,
the flashes of their guns betrayed them to the
. Ttfey ytcadily maintained this unequal
conflict, nntil when within a tkindred yards of the
bridge, their askannition gave out, and no other
defence was possible. Still, they would not Bur
render, but, tnrovinp their muskets into the river,
sought relugo In/thicknts along the hanhs. Fire
men escaped by swimming, and were afterward
picked up by onejof the Crusader’s boats. Five
are known to hare been killed during the fight.
The remaining twenty, some of tfiem wounded, M?
mifsing, and undoubtedly prisoners,
The rebel plans included also the capture of Colo
nel White, of the Fifty-fifth Pennsylvania. He
bad moved his hi&dquartcrs, like the two com
panics, only the day before, and the rebels, in
their advance, paised unaware by the house in
which he and his adjutant and. quartermaster were
sleeping. At the oner house, they found Captain
Waterbury’a company, whiah had been roused by
tbo flrln-J at Uunnjjiau’s, drawn up in lino of hit
tie to-receive them, and as they had contemplated
only a surprise, and were not at all eager for a
fight, and only numbered about ten to one, they
hastily withdrew; In the house ooeupied by the
thirty, a risk mm was loft In upper room, tnl,
undiscovered ty the rebels, beard the address ef
the rebel loader to his men before the attack. The
rebel flag was afterward hoisted on the house, but
remained only a few minutes, their force with
drawing t« Jofioreo Island and making no effort to
hold the ground.
HISArPOISDIENT OP THIS REBEL JjEADEnS. —It
lias been aeocrtainod that the rebel Isadora arc
grievously dl#onoerted by the change in the dispo
sition of the aimy of the Potomac. They had early
information oi the preparations for the transporta
tion of Gen. JKcClellan’s army, and, supposing that
the whole atm of the Potomac csss to be withdrawn
from the vicinity of Washington, had arranged a
programme fir a bold dash -aoroßS the Potomac
above Washintton, and a foray upon the capital
through Marjfland. Gen Jack£pn' s command was
to lead this enterprise, and to bo supported by
Smith and Johniton's forces. It was expected that
the rebel sympathizers in Maryland would raise the
standard of revdt there, and aid the execution of
the project, by the destruction of railroads and
bridges, and the isolation cf Washington from rein
forcements of U*oa troops.

Rebel Account of the Winches
ter Battle.
A Free-Trade Policy Declared by the
Bebel Congress.
Th? following extracts from late Southern papers
possess unusual interest. The battle of Winchester
is claimed &s a victory for Jackson, whose retroat
was a necessary result, not of the charge of our left
wing, but of the evacuation of Manassas, and “ had
been ordered some days previously. 11 Prepara
tions are being made upon an immense scale for the
coming battle in the Southwest, which may have
most decisive results upon the termination of the
war. This 5s a fact fully appreciated by the rebels,
who are making every effort to concentrate vast
armies. To aid this purpose, Jeff Davis recom
mends that the rebels recently released by our Go
vernment bo absolved from the niee sense of honor
which might impel them to observe their terms of
. parole, in order that they may take up arms in the
struggle for “independence
jeff’s message—violation op parole recom-
JIENDED.
The Richmond Mxamintr of the 19th ultimo
states that a message from Jeff Davis was sent into
the rebel Congress, in secret session, on the pre
ceding day, recommending that all the rebels
paroled by the Federal Government be released
from the obligation of their parole, so as to bear
arms in the rebellion.
The recommendation (says the Examiner) was
urged as a retaliation for the infamous and reck
less breach of good faith on the part of the North
ern Government with regard to the exchange of
prisoners, and was accompanied by the exposure of
this perfidy In a lengthy correspondence conducted
by the War Department. We have been tabled
to extract the points of this interesting corre
spondence.
It anpears, from the correspondence, that, at the
time p'ermiesion was asked by the Northern Go
vernment f&r Messrs. Pish end Atn&a t& visit their
Srisoners within the jurisdiction of the South, our
overnment, while denying this permission, sought
to improve the opportunity by concerting a settled
plan for the exchange of prisoners. For the exe
cution of this purpose, Messrs. Conrad and Seddon
were deputed by our Government as Commission
ers to meet those of the Northern Government un
der a flag of truce at Norfolk. Subsequently, a
letter from General Wool was addressed to General
Huger, informing him that he (General Wool) had
I‘nct \pntfiority to settle any terms for the ex
change of prisoners, and asking an interview on
the subject. General Howell Cobb was then ap
pointed by the Government to mediate with Gene
ral Woo), and to settle a permanent plan for tbe
exchange of prisoners during the war. The ad
justment was considered to have been satisfactorily
made. It was agreed that the prisoners-of-war in
the hands of each Governmentshould be exchanged,
mas for man, the officers being assimilated as to
rank, ftc.; that our privateersmen should be ex
changed on the footing of prisoners-of-war; that
any surplus remaining on either side, after these
exchanges, should be released, and that hereafter,
during the whole oontinuanoe of the war* prisoners
taken on either Bide should be paroled.
In carrying out this agreement, our Government
has released some three hundred prisoners above
those exchanged by the North, the balance in the
competing numbers of prisoners in the hands of tho
two Governments being so much in our favor. At
the time, however, of sending North the hostages
wo had retained for our privateersmen, Gen. Cobb
bad reason to suspect the good faith of the Northern
Qmriffittnt] and telegraphed in time to intercept
the release of a portion of these hostages, (among
them Col. Corcoran,) who were en route from points
further South than Richmond to go North under a
flag of truce to Norfolk. A number of these host
ages, however, had already been exchanged.
It now appears that, in contravention of tho
solemn agreement of the Northern Government, not
one of our privateersmen has been released, and
the Fort Donelson prisoners, instead of being pa
roled, have been taken into the interior, where they
are still confined. As a. judgment upon this open
and shameless perfidy of tbe North, it is proposed
that our prisoners who have been paroled by the
Yankees shall be released from their obligations.
There is as little doubt of the honor of such a pro
position as there is of its justness and xneetness as a
retaliatory measure fer an act of flagrant perfidy.
THE VALLEY OF THE MISSISSIPPI AND THE COMING
Tho Memphis correspondent of a Savannah paper,
in his letter of the 13th ult., states upon hearsay
evidence that thirty-two transports, under convoy
of a gunboat, passed up the river by lteynolds
burgh, in Humphries county, on Monday evening
preceding. Fourteen other transports passed up
during the night, and others again on Tuesday
morning, but in what number he was not informed.
The boats were laden with troops, artillery, caval
ry, wagons, mules, &c,, and were making, it is be
lieved, for Savannah. Some regiments had also
been thrown forward to Paris, about thirty miles
southwest from Port Henry, and on the direct line
to Memphis.
The correspondent says ; “ This looks as if
Gen. Snell did, not intend to let the grass grow
under his feet. With the present stage of water
in the Tennessee river, the gunboats cannot ascend
beyond Pastport j yet it is evident a bold push will
be made to reach the line of the Memphis and
Charleston railroad, and to gain a position to turn
our forces and defences on the Mississippi. Mean
while Gen. Halleck is massing a heavy force in the
rear of ITew Madrid, on the west bank of the river,
and below Island No. 10. Thus it will be seen
that the enemy has put in motion two heavy co
lumns —one on either side of tho Mississippi—and
that they are gradually moving southward. Buell’s
division, owing to the facilities afforded by the
Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, has made great
er progress than Hslleck’s, which has many physi
cal difficulties to encounter and overcome. The ef
fect of Buell’s advance, however, is to help on Hal
leck.”
Here is a striking paragraph that foreshadows
the result of the eoming battle at Corinth :
Wc shall never be able to stop the progress of
the enemy until we are strong enough to hold both
banks of the river, for if he be allowed to pass us
on one side, and gain the river below, he may at
any time cut off onr communications, and virtually
close the water-way by his field batteries. When
sball we able to iziabo asucoessful stead, aud cbock
and drive him baok ? Not, I fear, until large rein
forcements shall have reached the field. It is easy
enough to blook the way against the Federal gun
boste, but closing the river dees not prevent the
land forces from moving on. We must not only
hold the river against the gunboats, but by opposing
equal forces to the columns advancing down on
either bank, check and drive them back. To do
this will require a large army, aud the utu&st skill
and energy. The accounts from the river above
are conflicting. For the present, I can only say it
may be found necessary, in a few days, to make
some other changes in our positions before we take
iip a. final line of defence. It will require thousands
of lives and millions of money to repair the loss of
Forts Henry and Honclson. It was through those
neglected gateways the Trojan horse was intro
duced.
The correspondent then states that Jeff Davis is
to take the field in person in Tennessee, and adds
that bells for Beauregard continue to come in.
Many of the plantation bells used for indicating the
time and calling ihe negroes together weigh from
100 to SOO pounds, and are oomposed of the best
metal for cannon. Boats arriving are not permit
ted to land their cargoes, except of certain kinds,
and the vvtten, eager, ueiosses, *«., new in the
city, are being sent to places of safety. All this
can have but one me&niag-
Tbe Memphis Appeal says:
We learn from an officer, whose position gives
him many facilities for obtaining correct informa
tion, that General Van Horn is rapidly concentra
ting his forces, and will immediately move to Poca
hontas. Ills object 1§ to move against New Madrid,
and assist in defending the great Valley of the Mis
sissippi. It is far more important that we should
hold the Mississippi than the hills aud swamps in
Southwestern Missouri.
A despatch from Des Arc, Arkansas, dated tho
25th ultimo, states that the rebel troops are gather
ing in large number's at Jaeksonport and Pocahon
tas. They are in the highest spirits, in prospset of
immediate service. General Van Horn and General
Jeff Thompson are preparing for an early move
ment on some point on the Mississippi river.
DAVIS AND WIGFALL.
The Mobile War Spirit prints the following
story, which is credible enough, although not vouch
ed f«r:
Mr. Wigfall, of Texas, is one of that sort of men,
we take it, whose bump of revorenee has no largo
development to impress him with an uncomfortable
feeling of awe in the presenoe of greatness. We
will describe a scene between him and the Presi
dent, as it was described to us :
Wigfall. Davis, you are a groat man, a smart
man, aheap smarter than I am.
The President. (Replies with a nasal grunt not
suseeptible of being indicated by any combination
of tbe letters of the alphabet.)
Wigfall. Davis, you ore a mighty knowing man,
but if I wore in your plaoe, as the Chief Magistrate
of this struggling yeung Republic, I would know a
sight more than you do, and a great deal that you
won’t.
ThoProtidant. (Putting an mi air of prim in
dignity, replies with two grunts.)
Wigfall. Davis, if I were President, as you aro,
I should deem it a duty I should owe to my coun
try to know something of what others know. I
would put myself in free and easy communication
with men of mind, whether in official or private sta
tion, to seek information from thorn, and losrn
their views concerning public affairs, in order that
I might profit by thorn in tho conduct of the groat
affairs of State. No man is so omniscient but that
he may learn something by association and free
converse with his feliow.s.
(Exit the President consulting his watch.)
THE BEDEL DEFEAT AT TVIIfCHESTKIt
The Memphis Appeal publishes the following
from Richmond, 25th ult., via Charleston, and Au
gusta, Georgia:
Gov. Letcher has received a despatch, which Bays
that at half past four o’clock Sunday aCicrnocu,
TWO CENTS.
“Stone-Wall” Jackson engaged the enemy, 18,000
fltrong, at Barton's Mllfl) fire miles this sido of
Winchester. After a severe battle Jackson wa9
compelled to retreat, with a heavy loss of men and
officers. Capt. Antrum, wounded and a prisoner;
Liouts Dalle and Watson, Fifth Virginia, killed;
Capt. Buford, Major Jackson, and Lieut. Williams,
missing, supposed killed. Our loss about two hun
dred. Gen. Jackson retreated to Cedar creek,
leaving his baggage in his rear. The enemy was
advancing.
following is frofia RliLfii&bd, Sfilk, t& ik&
same paper : “ A despatch has just been received at
the War Department, in this city, from General
Joseph £ Johnston, which states that the Feder&lß
were repulsed with great loss. General Jackson
held the field, having lost 200 killed and wounded.
Be fell back the same evening, under cover of the
night, to Cedar creek. Jackson’s force did net ex
ceed 6,000 ”
The Appeal says, editorially: “We have two re
ports from the recent buttle in the valley of Yin
ginin. That of our regular correspondent is, it will
be seen, founded upon official intelligence received
at the War Department, from General Johnston,
and is favorable—really indicating a victory for the
Confederate arms. The retreat of General Jackson
was a move which was the socoesary result of the
evacuation of Manassas, and had been ordered some
days previous.”
PROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORCIA COAST.
The Savannah of the 21st ult., has
the following;
Official information was received here yesterday
of the landing of 1,000 of the enemy at Blulfton,
early in the morning. Later accounts, brought by
passengers on the Charleston train, state that a
courier arrived at Bardensriile, in the afternoon,
with the intelligence that 15.000 were landed from
their gunboats, and were preparing for a march
upon the railroad. There was considerable bustle
in the city last night, indicating that some of the
Georgia boys were about to have a chance to par
ticipate in the fight. We shall, perhaps, hear of
important developments during the day.
Moßt of our readers have probably already heard
of the capture, on Edisto Island, of Lieutenant
Colonel Bennett* of the Fifty-sixth Pennsylvania
Regiment, Lieutenant Kirby, of the Forty-seventh
New York, and a Mr. Willis, a “United States
Government agent” to steal cotton from the sea
islands. These worthies had wandored in a buggy
about three hundred yards from their camp, near
the Daily Bouse, when they were pounced upon,
and carried off in triumph by three of our Frog
Level scouts. In this connection, the following
letter and enclosure from General Evans will be
read with interest:

The Savannah News of the 21st ult. states that
our troops had erected a battery on the Martello
tower on Tybee iriand, zvhich threw a shell over
Fort P'nlnsbi. They have al9o erected a battery
on Decent creek, southeast of Fort Pulaski, near
Lazaretto creek, an old hull' , whichit is thought
will also throw shot on the fort. The Republi
tan sayei
The Yankees have been quite busy in our river,
both above and below Fort Pulaski. They have
one rifle cannon on on old hulk near Decent island,
22 miles south of Fort Pulaski; one on the Mar
tciio tower, and a battery of Dahigreng and COlum*
biftds on the point of Tybee; and a battery on
Daufuskie island, apparently of four guns.
The fleet at Tybee consists of one sloop-of-war>
one bark discharging, and tvf o 99a] §9b99B9rS off tho
point. On Thursday week the rifled cannon on the
Martello tower was fired once at a boat near the
north wharf of Cockspur, twice at the hospital, and
once at the fort, neither shot taking effect. No ad
ditional batteries have been erected on the liver
above the fort.
FROM SHir ISLAND,
The Richmond Examiner says : Ship Island has
proved a graveyard to the enemy, even in mid*
winter. The first army which they lauded there
was half destroyed by disease, the second is shar
ing the same fate. The equinoctial storm which
is now upon us will bo over in a few days, and then
will commence all along our Southern seaboard ike
joint reign of mosquitoes and malaria. The enemy
will fail to get into the interior, and will be com
pelled to move their forces to higher latitudes. We
have seen their last naval expedition for the pre
sent seasoih No other will bo sent out: and those
already on the coast must in a few weeks beat a
retreat.
There will, therefore, be a great concentration
of their armies, and consequently of our own,
during the summer, Tho greatest buttles ever
fought ou the American continent, and as great as
ever occurred on the globe, will be fought on the
plains of Piedmont, Virginia, during the campaign
now openod. We are on the threshold of great
events, find cur people will bear themselves in a
manner worthy of tbe cause and the arista-
Declaration of Free Trade by the Confe
derate Congress.
[From the Richmond Examiner.]
X till for abolishing ibo ianffj and ibrowrag open
our Confederate ports to the commerce of all the
world, except of the United States, has passed the
House of Representatives with extraordinary and
unexpected unanimity, and is now before the Se
nate. It iS 6BC fif the fiSSt 4Vld4hcei that have been
given of a disposition to establish an original policy
of our own, and to desist from a slavish imitation
of tho Washington Government.
Tbe argument in favor of free ports and free
6 ftffi SO fttUltlf&fM tfid htiiiierotis that no doubt
remains of the hill passing the Senate, and of the
measure becoming the established policy of tho
Confederacy. In the brief discussion which the
hill elicited in the House, the fact transpired that
the revenue from the tariff so far had been only
sufficient to defray the expenses of the custom
house establishment. Duties upon a blockaded
commerce were absurd enough; but a oustom-houso
system that paid only enough rovenue to defray its
own expenses, leaving nothing fa? the public trea
sury, caps the climax of absurdity, and discloses,
in colors even ridiculous, the futility of the mea
sure. *******
Tbe act repealing the tariff law and throwing
open our ports, sa far as our aeti&ft eaa do 36, to all
tne world, except the public enemy, will proclaim
a policy in which all maritime nations are deeply
interested, and which cannot fail to array them
sooner or later in solid phalanx against tlje
adiug enemy. Tho amoronco between such a law
and the present tariff act, levying, albeit, only six
teen per cent., is the difference Between day and
night. It is the diflerence between free trade and
restricted on unpopular institution
and odious policy of the past and a policy new,
liberal, enlightened, and gracious to the commer
cial world.
It will do more to open our ports, and, whether
these are open or not, io fill our country with fo
reign goods, than a great navy could effect* Under
its operation we shall not see, next winter, our sol
diers going barefooted in the mud, and tracking
their pathway with blood. Extortioners, specula
tors, aud contractors out of doors, and their crea
tures in Congress may oppose it, but the interests of
the people, of the army, and the government de
mand the law trumpet-tongued. The welfare of
the country so imperiously demands the measure
that it almost amounts to a sort of treason, to op
pose it.
The bill providos for the repeal of all laws by
which duties are laid and collected on foreign goods,
wares, or merchandise imported from foreign coun
tries, except as regards those imported from the
United States of America.
