A STEP TOWARDS FREE TRADE
'I he Treaty of Commerce recently con
eluded between Austria and Prussia, coin
preiiendin; as it does nearly all the other
states of Germany, has a twofold sinifi
c.incy. Intrinsically considered, it is a
great fact in the history of industrial pro
gress; extrinsically, it is a cause of political
satisfaction and assurance to the rest of
Kurnpe.
In its economic aspect, the convention
for twelve years which has been concluded
after such protracted negotiation, according
to the London News, must be regarded as
a great though cautious step in the direc
tion of free trade. From Trieste to Co
logne, from Milan to Dantzig, all differen
tial duties are to be abolished; and instead
thereof a system of complete reciprocity is
in future to be established. Raw ma
te rials of every description are to pass from
one territory to another without payment
of atiy duty whatsoever, while a fixed
standard of ad valorem charge on man
ufactured articles is to be maintained for
purpose of revenue by each state, but so
conceived and arranged as to abnegate all
idea of prohibition or protection in favor
of one German community against its
neighbors. Stipulations are included in
the treaty for the adoption of a uniform
scale of coinage.
The Prussian eagle will continue still
to figure on the gold and silver pieces
struck at the Berlin mint, anil the arms of
Austria will be still impressed upon the
inctalic currency of Vienna, but the names
and values of both will hereafter be the
same, not only in the greater states, but
throughout all Germany, as well as in
Hungary, Lombardy, and the other pro
vinces of the Empire.
Seventy eight millions of people inhabit
the region which will be affected by these
conditions; and it is perhaps enough to
sav that there is no one branch of art, in
dustry, and skill, from the mouth of the
Kibe to that of the Adige, whose field of
labor and profit will not be enlarged to a
greater or less extent by the changes
which they imply. Theoretically con
sidered, it is undoubtedly the most signal
recognition of the principle of equal com
petition which the world has seen since
the repeal of the British Navigation Laws;
and practically, we can augur nothing but
good to the capitalist and the labor of both
northern and southern Germany, from a
measure which, by opening new scope for
enterprise, and exposing them to the health
ful action of natural rivalry, is likely to
develop new energies in the one. and to
bring new aids to the other. A. Y. Even

From the Railroad Record.
RECIPROCAL BENEFITS OF LAND AND
RAILROADS.
Since experience has fully demonstrated
that Railroads are destined to become the
the United States especially, it may be
well to consider what bearing the con
structing of Railroads may have upon the
value of lands (farms particularly,) through
which they may pass; and what effect the
extension of these facilities for transporta
tion must have upon the price of produced
at Home' - -
Farmers are often called upon to grant
the right of way for these roads, and many
he-itate to do so. fearing that they will be
lookers rather than gainers thereby. To
Such, in addition to the article in our col
umns upon "The Illinois Central Rail
road," where the subject is incidentally
touched upon, we would commend the fol
lowing article, from the Newark, N. J.
Mercury, to their special attention:
"Effects of Kail roads upon the' price of
Lands una Farming Produce. It has
been estimated, by those whose. observa
tion hasq7J x&m f-z-
land three mifw'wneV rthroi,..
Railroad is-constructed, is sufficient to
build and stock it. The experience of the
whole country has proved that this esti
mate is not extravagant. Every mile of a
strip of land three miles wide, one and a
half miles on each side of the road, will
contain 1,920 acres. The average increase
in the price of such a strip of land, has
been not far from $15 an acre, in new and
thinly settled districts of country, it has
been inuch more in many instances. This
would be equal to 20,000 increase to
every mile of road ; or in other words, if
the farmers or owners of this strip of coun
try should themselves build the road, their
laud would be worth enough more to pay
the whole expense of construction, and
thev would own the road besides. If rail
roads, therefore, conferred no other bene
fits upon farmers than this great addition
to their wealth, they will see that they are
more deeply interested in their construc
tion than any other class of the communi
ty. They receive a direct, positive, tan
gible advantage in the immediate rise in
the value of their property.
"But there are other advantages to the
farming interest beside the rise in the val
ue of their farms. The products of a farm
situated at any considerable distance from
a market where ordinary roads have to be
depended upon, are of little value to the
producer, but railroads at once give them
a ready access to market, at good prices
and quick sales The experience of far
mers near the great center of population,
is a sufficient proof of the great advanta
ges of railroads in this point of view. In
deed, no one has any doubt of it. The
reasons for it are too obvious to need proof
or argument.
Now, if this be truth, and there can be
no doubt of itstveracity. does it not pre
sent an unanswerable argument in favor,
not only of the farmers granting the right
of way but also of his becoming, to the
extent ol his means, a shareholder in the
roads of his neighborhoods If a farmer
owns 100 acres of land, worth 8 to 10 dol
lars per acre, anil the constructing of a
rail way through it would increase its value
from two thirds to double its original cost,
what would be thought of him should lie
refuse th? right of way to such road? We
trust there are few such farmers in this
enlightened age.
A Shooting affaiu. We learn that
Wm. B. March, Esq., of Mocksville, was
shot on Monday morning last, by John
Hall, also of that place.
At last accounts Mr March was still
living, with a prospect of recovery. The
gun was charged with buck-shot, three of
which took effect two in the breast, and
one in the shoulder.
This affair originated out of an old diffi
culty of a most serious nature, anil some
such result it has been feared, would ensue-

His Holiness the Pope, was to leave Rome
for Paris soon after Easter, and the corona

take place on the 10th of May. The Holy
See, it is said, will obtain many important
advantages by this concession of the Pope
to the wishes of Napoleon, not the least of
which will be the loan of ten millions of
francs to recruit the exhausted treasury
of the Eternal City. The legitimists,
however, are reported to be positively wild
with chagrin at this abandonment of the
principle of Divine right," on the part
of the head of the Church, and many pro
phetic warnings are held out that the Col
lege of Cardinals, in permitting the act,
are blindly, but deliberately, sealing the
doom of the Papacy. The consent of both
Austria and Russia is said to have been ob
tained to the Pope's visit to Paris, and the
recent policy of France would seem to
warrant a belief that the concessions made

RAIL ROAD IRON.
The following speculations as to the adl
vance in iron are from the Boston Rail
Road Times : '
The sudden and great advance which
has recently taken olace iif the price of

these
British rail roads caused the moft
disastrous commercial revulsion exp
rienced in Great Britain.
It ruined many hundreds of her richest
merchants, and produced a long-continued
prostration of every industrial interest,
from which it required years of patient la
bor and economy to recover.
From the best information accessible to
the public it appears to be quite certain
that there are now in progress and actual
course of construction, in Europe and
America, at least twenty thousand miles of
iron railroad, besides a vast amount ol
projected rail roads not yet begun.
vliirh wt flu not take into account. Of
this amount of rail road in progress. 5,000
belongs to Europe, and 14,000 at least to
this country, exclusive ot more than l,uuu
miles now constructing in Canada. We
have seen a list made out of the rail roads
now under way in each State, which
amounts in the aggregate to more than 13.
000 miles; and which list has tmderstated
rather than overstated the truth, for in
this State alone" it omits GO miles of rail
road in actual construction, and has made
similar omissions as to other States. How
ever incredible the aggregate may appear
at first sight, it is impossible for the most
careful scrutiny to make any deduction
from it.
Rail roads require at least one hundred
miles ol iron for a single track, and of the
roads in progress in Europe 1,000 will be
double track roads. It follows from this
that the rail roads now in course of con
struction in Europe and America will re
quire for their completion no less than
two millions four hundred thousand tons
of iron. To make this quantity will
occupy all the rolling mius in me wnrif
. li'irh ar pnoafed in the manufacture fit
iron, at least" six years those of Great
Britain furnishing three-lourths. and the
United States, France and Belgium the
remaining fourth. The best authorities do
not estimate the largest quantity of rail
road iron in any one year even as high as
400 000 tons, yet even at this rate it will
take six vears to furnish iron for the roads
already begun
Vine necessary consequence of this state
things is, that the price of rail road iron
of tl
will notonlv keen up, but further ail vance.
and be maintained at very high prices for
a very long time. This will make the
manufacture of rail road iron tbe best
manufacturing business that can be under
taken in thi country for some years, for
it is affirmed on the best authority, that the
article which is now selling at 70, with
every prospect of advancing at least to
S80 per ton, pays a fair profit to the mak
er at g50 per ton.
The advance in iron will nearly double
the cost of many of the railways at the
west and south, for the cost of grading "oii
some of them was less per mile than the
cost of the won, even before it advanced.
The profit to a lew of the companies which
have secured their iron at low rates, will
be very large. The English rail road
companies are now compelled to pay 810
per ton more for their iron at home, than the
price at which our rail road companies
were enabled to obtain it about a year ago,
freight and duties included.

Government is trying to hire the convicts
at Van Dieman's Land to get married, by
promising them "freedom, as a reward tor
their hardihood in undertaking that haz
ardous enterprise. It is said that all the
old ma'ds and bachelors on the island are
embracing t lie opportunity to change their
condition, by marrying handsome young
thieves and vagabonds of either sex. Some
of the cunning rogues, however, will not
swallow the matrimonial hook even when
it is baited with such a sweet morsel as
liberty. A similar government policy
was adopted once before in England.
When a man was convicted of certain
offences, and sentenced to be hung at Ty
burn, if any lady could be found willing
to espouse him under the gallows, he was
forthwith pardoned and set at liberty, the
marriage being considered punishment
enough. On one occasion, when Jack
Ketch was about to perform his office on a
certain criminal, a lady stepped forth from
the crowd and ottered to take him for better
or worse. The poor fellow looked at her.
