parts of the South, by similar movements, our ef

tuous emulation. Winchester and Htaunton have
already done much, and Gordonsville, (environed
by the glorious dead) has begun the laudable
work. Kichruond should bo no laggard in this.
On every field of strife her sons have fallen, and

instead of two. Cotton goods are to be entitled
to a drawback, when exported, equal to the taxes
paid on the finished goods and upon tho raw ma
terial. As to the tax upon tho raw cotton pro
duced in the coontryit is Uie general belief of
Congress and of our financial men that under the
present state oi things, the tax will lull cniellv on
the consumer that is, upon the foreign and do
mestic manufacturers and that Uie producer will
not derive any less profit from his product by rea
son of the tax. There may be doubt as to this,
for the Southern States need all Uie encourage
ment which high prices will afford them, in their
attempt to resuscitate the culture of cotton.
The drawback allowed on cotton fabrics export
ed will encourage Uie domestic manufacturer to
look for a foreign market, lie may look in vain,
however, until the currency comes down to the
same standard which other nations have estab
lished. The exemption of many raw materials used i..
manufactures from taxation is a leading feature cf
Uie bill. This will tend to diminish the cost of
manufactured goods to consumers.
