New England is in sore trouble. It
is finding out to its deep sorrow that
thi n' js such a thing as having too
miiih, even though that thing be
Ptoii-triion. It has , been clamoring
'f.r' a Tariff for seventy years; and it
acuplly came near Receding from the
Union fit one time, as we can show
lYoiit the records, because it did not
Imf' Lite advantage in this particular
ovt'ij tin? South, j There have been
soiiio v-ry large sales of manufac
ttirors' ijools4n New York within a
few voeks, and it is stated that there
was;an average loss of 10 .per cent."
t the manufacturers. Now this is
very; bad, especially when we. jemera.;
l.cr bow New England is bounty-fed
an.l with a .yery .big spoon. The
u )stii Transcript, a High Protec
tion paper, thus sets up its howl:, V'
"The manufacturer will ; not long pro
duce fabrics on every bale of which he
loses money. He must have hia ; raw. ma
u riiils cheaper. Thatarifl imposes duties
npnn them of thirty, per: cent;--The manu
facturer is protected up to he point where
he cannot do business without -trench ing

then, that enlightened, persons engaged in

years a resident of Marion, S. C, died at.
the latter place yesterday,1 at the advanced
age. of 90 years. He formerly resided in a
house which stood nearly opposite the old
Journal office, a Mr. Sherwood is said to
have been a native of NewJYprk, but re
sided for some time in Payetteville, from
.from which place he came to Wilmington -about
1820.- He at -one r time-'represented

by the name of Carolina McKnight, got his,
right: arm, accidentally . crushed . . Friday
night ; It seems that he was off duty and
had been drinking, and that some time du
ring the evening he laid himself down and
went to sleep near a track,' where, shortly
afterwards, a passing engine ' ran over his
arm, - which - had been . thrown, across . the
track, and crushed it.- - He was conveyed
to the City Hospital, where the arm of the.

- Savannah has .not : dealt with us with
' that fairness whieh , We had ' a" right to
expect. In the first place she deprives - us;
if ber estimates of our Just dues both in
weights and measures, and in this attempt
to crush us with so : weighty' an, argument
il reminds us of . a large and a small boy
disputing over their -marbles.- The large
boy claims" a preponderance ' in numbers,
but tbo small boy says "I don't are if you
is bigger than I am, I've got more ' marbles
tban youThave. 'Yes, 'V saya hether :
"but mine are larger, and handsomer than
yours ; and if you don't mind you won't
have no marbles, no how.". : Our neighbor
finds that we have the advantage of , it in
numbers, and it therefore tries to crush us
with its weigh ts and values. Now we, are
free to admit that Savanpah handles two
ahicles of naval stores and Tdrives .a right
fair trade,1 principally domestic; but in the
markets ot the: foreign KrU ,both Wil:i
uiington and Charleston lead her . On;th0'
olher: hand, Wilmington handles all the
articles of naval Stores, - i
Qur contemporary attempts, to twit us
by intimating that the business of our port
in naval stores Is decreasing, while .that of
Savannah is increasing; which isnanother
of its assumptions which the facts do not. ;
warrantThepfflcul records show that i
our business m spirits Ibrpentinc, and rosm
during the year just closed compared very;
favorably . with, the two : years . previous,
while in the article of tar there; was a largfe.
increase, crude turpentine - being the only
article in which,.' there has-been an actual '
falling off. f The idea of a decrease in our
naval stores trade from a gradual absorp
tion of the native, material has troubled the
prophetic visions, of writers and Uiinkers!
for a great many years. ; As ; long agq as. ;
the year 1808 a learned French savant pub
lished a book in which, he, stated that the
enormous quantity of ,9,000.. barrels .of tur
pentine had been exported from the port of
Wilmington, N.,- C., during the prevfoul
1. year, .anq suggested, the unpleasant possi
bility that.8uch a drain 00 , the forests must
result in their ruin in a few years. '.c .
j We alluded, in a' previous article to tiie
fjact that Savannah published 4 hct. receipts
and claimed to be tbe leading markets Now
jfk J contend that 'e0aot:Hr'h;
ter error,!! Her estimates go for nothing andt
were purely the result of a A after-thought,!
When she discovered that her claims to su

also the idea ..of. deducting . from the total'
business o& Wilmington the article of crude,
