The latter is from a paper on 'Taxation State and Federal,'' by Hon.

We eov bo: h t lit articles below and it wtll be seen that the question is ... . i.i verv lorcimv presented and win doubtless impress iixmy farmers with the injustice of the tariff.

No one suffers more from the burden of the Protective Tariff svstem than the tiller of the soil, i' When the farmer arises in the morning the soap he washes with costs him 3 cents for 2 cents worth; the comb that he nses to dress his hair costs ID cents for 14 con Us ; worth, and the brush 7 cents for 5 j cents worth. The glass through ! ' which he looks to see if the weather 1 is fair ctxsts him 11 cents for 7 cents ' worth, and it is fixed in the frame with putty that co.-ts him 5 cents tor 4 cents worm, oe goe.s io m.s barn in b ots that cost him 13 cents for 10 cents worth, under a straw tK,, Kim 7 Pntfl f. r r - cents worth, or a wool hat that costs! him 11 eents for 7 cents worth. ! ' Suppose he goes to the neighboring ! town to purchase supplies for him self and family, he pays artificial prices for nearly everything he carries home. The folio ing is a practical illustration of the way in which the farmer pays for "Protec i tion:" He buy cotton goods o the amount of 813 00 lie buys woolen g.xxls to the amount of 17 50 He wants to mend his fence, and he buys a few nail?, etc.. for which he pays 14 00 His wife wanta a few' dishes and some earthen or stone milk pans fur which he pays 7 75 He finds his bill amount to... S52 23 This he pays and drives home, aud in the evening he sits down and makes his calculations. lie finds that he has paid an extra amount for his goods on account of high tariff aa follows: On cotton goods 8 3 50 ' .i 7 on i r i oo ; On his crockery ware 2 75 Total ?17 25 ; He then subtracts his ?1 7.25 from 1 the fo2.2o, and finds that he ought to have purchased the amount of goods for 35, or in other words he has paid out of his pocket to help enrich a few special favorites of the government $17. 25 that he should in justice, right aud equity have to buy necessaries for his family. i'.y this time he is irresistibly ifriven to the conclusion that high tariff is an exceedingly onerou and unnecessary tax, and he wonders why the country has borne the bur den so long.

P B.illauce. Mrs. Geo. Credle, Rev. Mr. , L. i we and family. j Many of these had never set foot on Hyde county soil, hence, on arriving at j Douglass bay after three or four hours of sea sickness felt that they had been driven to this desolate, boggy, bull froggy looking place to finish the job which they thought begun on the rolling waves of Pamlico sound. LIOHTWOOD CREEK CANAL. Leading into Douglass bay is a large ; i ,i;.,i which has been in course of for- I mation for several years, for the purpose in draining lands, which is now being improved for navigation. A few farm ers began this work several years ago with spades, and cut it several miles at a i e.-t of about S4.000. They have now io. med a stock company, have purch-j Had a dredge and propose to j deepen the canal so as to make 1 it navigable for about two ana a half miles. This done, it can be i extended for drainage to the South lake 1 secoon and a large quantity of valuable i land reclaimed. The steamer cast anchor i about two hundred yards from the; m citli of the canal, the boats were j lowered, and the company landed, ex-' i-er t the ladies, who were carried up ! i: . . ..a il in the boats while the gentle- ! i., ; u ilked the banks, the mud thrown i nr. having become hard making a good f .; j. ah.

M. Watson was called upon j for his views. He responded in a short speech, saying that he was very anxious ; l .r a sieamer, but thought the prospects i to: making one pay on the line at this time were very discouraging, because j there is not much to ship. He promised, i however, that if the company saw fit to 1 put on the steamer he would do all in ' ms power to help them make it pay. 1 The cost of cutting the canal, he said was very heavy to a few in . the community, and thev ex pected from the beginning to : tet outside help. He was 6ure that ajocey put into it by any one could be; lacked up again at almost any time. ! Dr. Selby was called upon. "The; tNo t atsons.

The feeling of uncertainty at the opening was very great, and that, accompanied by depressing cable despatches, early caused prices to fluctuate widely aud break badly. The prediction of a great many bears th it May wheat would touch SO cents was verified early in the session; but. it immediately reacted, then receded to SOc. once more and one or two sales of .May were reported at 79Jc. From that point the market rallied. and, with only one or two short halts, advanced to S2j;c. for May. and closed ic. under that figure.' Transactions in wheat were very! heavy. j Active tradiug occurred in mess ' pork, mainly for May aud June de liveries, May selling down to 15.00 ' at one time, but as the result of tlie day's trading prices were not mate rially lowered. Lard was fairly ac- i tire and easier early, but closed moderately .strong. Wintery Weather. Washington. April 9 Six inches of snow fell last night at Fort Wayne. Indiana, and Dayton. Ohio, and seven . inches in Anthracite City. Pa. It began snowing in Washington about S a. m.. and continued until 11a.m. In Baltimore snow fell until 3 p. m.. but it had all disappeared in Baltimore and Washington in two hours after the fall had ceased. Direct telegraphic communication be tween Washington and New York was entirely suspended for several hours during the business portion of the day. because of the prostration of every wire between Baltimore and Philadelphia by the high wind. Late in the afternoon communication was le-established. but has since been subject to annoying in terruption, and belated business is be ing dispused of. Washington, April 9. Between 10 and 11 o'clock this morning a severe wind storm passed over the countrv in the vicinity of Baltimore, prostrating every telegraph wire between Baltimore and Philadelphia and cutting off direct communication north in an instant. The extent of the damage in other res pects is not ascertained. Thirty large poles of the Western Uuion Company in a single stretch were blown down. Snow fell for five hours here this, morn ing, but by 1 p. m. had all disappeared. Ohio Election. Cincinnati April if. The returns for Cincinnati of yesterday's election were not all reported at noon to-day. but enough is knowu to show that the total vote is about 40.000. Police clerk Richard's t Republican majority will be from 400 to 700. and it is possible that the Republicans will elect oup member of the board of education. With these exceptions the Democraic ticket is elected by majorities of from 4u0 to .00. The returns show very large Republican gains in the German wards compared with a year ago. The municipal reform ticket, though nominally the work of bath parties, it is generally understood has drawn most of its votes from the Republicans. Throughout the State the repoits show Republican gains in the most of the largest cities. Springfield. Ohio, shows a considerable Democratic gain. Opening of the Mine. LVNc'IiBt'P.'i. Va.. April 1".

Green. yha fnPowin AM) Chased by a Revenue Cnlter. The question of the fisheries along the coast of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, and in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, lias always been a vexatious one. Canadian. French and American fishing vessels resort here in numbers ; and the various tcsti ic-tioiis and treaties which have from time to time been in effect, have never operated very harmoniously-. The Province fishermen naturally regard these waters as tlu ir fish ing grounds, while the Gloucester and Cape Ann men who came here earliest of all feel that their rights are paramount to any others: and many, first and last, have been the rencontres between the "Yankees" and '-blue noses," sometimes not altogether bloodless. At no time were these "affairs' more frequent than from 18.'7 to LS45: and during this period, we find the local annals plentifully be sprinkled with the name of "Skip per I'atillo. Patillo was a Gloucester captain, a very Hercules in strength, and an expert boxer. When roused, too, he was a person of tremendous temper and energy. For years he proved a most redoubtable cham pion of Yankee "rights"' in this quarter. A Canadian law at this time for bade fishing vessels lrom the New England coast to bring or land any passengers with their effects in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick or Newfoundland. In the fall of 1841, it chanced that a daughter of Dr. Kantrill, of Guy sborough, N. S., who had been .at work near Boston, wished very much to return to her home on ac count of the recent death of her mother. She had not sufficient money to pay her way home by the very slow public conveyances of that date: and pitying her hard lot, Skipper Patillo, who was then on the eve of sailing in his schooner, the Abigai1, on her third trip that year for the '-Banks," generously offered to take her free of charge, and in due course put into Guys borough for the purpose of landing her and her trunk. It was purely an act of humanity on the part ot the American skip per; and the fact was well under stood at Guysborough at the time. Nevertheless, the officials there, who cherished no very good will to ward the American fishermen, de-1 termmcd to make it a pretext to seize the Abigail. A boat at once put off containing a Customs officer, named Biglow, who, climbing on board the schooner, stepped to the mainmast and cut the King's broad arrow on it, in token of seizure. Then, turning to Capt. Patillo, he j said, with a triumphant laugh, I "This schooner is the King's, seized j lor smuggling. Now, then, hand! over your papers !"' j Biglow was a burly, red faced , man: and for some moments he and ' Patillo stood looking in each other's j faces, with anything save gentleness in their glances. Patillo then went below and got the schooner's pa pers, which lie brought on deck, but still held them in his hand. 'You and all Guysborough know well enough about this girl," he1 said, presently. "What I have done was merely an act of kindness t to one of your own towuswomeu, who was without home and without ; money in Massachusetts. Haven't! you any shame or decency about j you. to try to rob me of my vessel on such a charge .'" "You are a sneaking Yankee smuggler!" roared Biglow, much enraged at this home thrust, and , no doubt feeling the force of it.; "Your vessel is the King's, and you 1 will have the fun of walking home to Gloucester afoot, a nice Utile trudge for you betwixt now ami ; winter!" ' Biglow. ere coming off, had sum moned a cutter from Great Canso Harbor. This cratt was now al ready in sight. I'atillo saw that whatever he did must be done quickly, or else he' would lose the Abigail beyond recovery. A thought liashed in his mind. TIow do 1 know that you arc the King's oilicei .'" he demanded of iglow Show nie your cotninis , )!1 ."

Such a mis sile, thrown down from the schoon er's deck, would inlallibly go through a boat's bottom and sink her. Thus matters stood with the b 1 ligeients at the time of the great gale of the 3d of October; that year, when along with many other ves sels, the Abigail put into Port Hood and came to anchor along with the rest of the fleet. The cable was scarcely paid out, when f he cut ter uuder Capt. Mar shall ran in. Immediately she let down a boat with eight men, armed to the teeth, which rowed from one schooner to another, in search of Patillo and his vessel. Out- warlike skipper felt himself in ii ''tight fix;" for a hurricane ws blowing outside, and to put to sea, even if ho had time, was a serious matter. But none the less, he de termined never to surrender the Abigail; and seeing the armed boat coming out towards her, ho stood !y his stone shot, ready to throw it into it. The fishermen on the other ves sels, lying near, cheered him and jeered the cutter and her crew. It was an exciting moment. The officer in the boat pulled up to with in half a cable's length and hailed, demanding the schooner's name. "The Abigail," rivyionded the i'atillo, stoutly. "I must come on board yon!" shouted the officer. For all reply to this, Patillo took up one of his big stones, and raising it high over his head, held it there as an invitation to come along side if they liked. Neither Marshall nor his crew liked the looks of it. They con sulted for a few moments, then backed water and returned to the cutter, to find some better means of dealing with so reckless a fellow. As the cutter was an armed ves sel, carrying several cannon, the unarmed Abigail stood but a small chance at resistance, of course. Perceiving that ho would be speed ily brought to terms, or sunk where he lay, Patillo at once made up his mind what to do. "All hands! Up with the anchor and make sail!'' he shouted. It was a perilous thing to do, and doubly difficult from the position in which the Abigail lay, surrounded by a dozen other schooners, lying at their anchors. Fortunately for our skipper, these craft were all "Yankees," and were warm friends. Seeing the sails go up on the Abigail, Skipper Bailey, of the schooner lying nearest, hove his vessel ahead; aud Skipper Laroke paid out his cable, making as wide a space as possible, for Patillo to get out. No sooner did the cutter see the Abigail's sails go up, than equally plucky and determined not to be outdone, Capt. Marshall gave orders to make sail and put to sea in pur suit of the saucy fugitive. The gunners, too, were ordered to load with ball and stand by. All was now in a flurry, both on the vessels of the fleet and along the wharves of the town, which were pasked with people, some cheering, others hooting. I'atillo got under way before Marshall's auchor was fairly up; but to get out of the harbor, he had to pass within fifty feet of where the cutter lay. This was close shaving, indeed; but the Gloucester men did nottlinch. With the wind full in her sail, the Abigail came tearing along to run out. Feeling sure that the cutler's crew would fire, Patillo ordeied his own men all below, then throwing himself flat on the deck, so as to be as much in shelter of the bul warks as possible, he held the wheel and steered for the open water. Marshall, equally busy getting ready for sea, turned and saw the Abigail comiug out past him. "Wait till she's abreast us!" he called to his gunner. "Then give it to her. Take her mainmast down if you can!" ' Fifty feet is short range for can non shoot ing. But on came the "Yankee" schooner; aud as she; ranged alongside, baiuj went the cutter's cannon, sending a ball! t hroiigh the mainsail. It had missed the mast: and on went the Abigail. 1 ill you let that roaring rascal 1 get awav?" growled Marshall. "Fire, low ! I full her! Sink her!" The next ball from the cutter's gun went through the schooner's side, making the boards and splint-' eis i!y round the ears of the sailors below. ue or two of the men rushed on deck, but were promptly oiilei ed back by the skipper, w ho lay steadily holding on to the w he -1. Again Marshall onlered his gun ni l' to tic for the mast: and this time the ball sli lick it. taking out a - i Hiring piece a 1 milt l-.ilir Pet ,,boe the deck: but the tough "hi s',;ek stood fist. 1 t hi s 1 line t hey u el e well .as! :'.,. . :. u li uii had got til up. i i . o . - . 1 and w '.lead 1 II g oil ! a I ' el i I . . e 1 1 1 .
