THE HAILY T4MKS,
MONDAY, OCTOBER H-
The Tariff.
From various indications it is growing quite evi
dnt thita serious and determined effort will be
r j at the next session of the present Congress
to effect some material changes in the existing
tariff- c__
inasmuch as that system of raising revenue lor
the Government will not be abandoned, we thinK
it altogether probable that some modification may
be necessary. If we are to depend upon import
duties for the support of the Federal Government,
nothing is clearer than that the income rom
source shall be adequate to such suppor . .
the rate of duty fixed by the present tariff is not
commensurate to this object has been gravely a*,
sorted. This conclusion has been reached by a
survey of the receipts from customs for the last
eighteen months, and sufficient allowance has not
been made for the extraordinary condition of com
merce during that period. Still, as we have said,
some modification may be necessary. What this
shall be is the “ rub.”
The New England Manufacturer will, doubt
less, claim that his interest shall receive further
protection. The Pennsylvania iron founder and
roller.will demand a few more per cent, ior his en
couragement ; while the meek, acquiescent South
erner stands with purse in hand, ready to foot the
bills of both. We are opposed to surrendering
another farthing to cither. 11 they cannot get
aloug with the bounty already paid them by the
Government, it is better for every body save them
selves, that the mills and loundries be closed. The
South being an agricultural people and making
nearly every thing she produces for export, is, of
course, a comparative sufferer by any tariff system
which may be devised. She has borne calmly the
unequal burthen which has been imposed upon
her under the promise of gradual alleviation The
history of* congressional legislation for the past
twelve years reveals a partial redemption of this
pledge. Hut now, it seems, we are to have a
glimpse at the reverse side of this picture. ‘1 he
deficit in the treasury, of which causes that no
longer exist are a sufficient solution, is the pretext
for a retrograde movement on the tariff scale; the
transfer of money from Southern to Northern
pockets, without the inconvenient requisite of an
equivalent, is its object and result. We shail await
the action ofSouthern men upon this subject with
some interest.
Whig Leaders—Democracy.
Some of the opposition presses are loud in their
exclamations of joy over what ,they would wil
lingly believe to be an element ol jealousy in the
Democratic ranks towards old-line whig leaders.
They proclaim it to their readers with a flourish
ol trumpets that th Democracy are tired of the
association of such men as Messrs. Toombs and
Stevens, who W'ere disciples of Clay and leaders
of the gallant old whig party ere it was crushed
like an egg-shell botore the triumphant march of
abolitionism and are disposed no longer to recog
nize them as the faithful exponents of democratic
principles. Were we not called upon to speak in
the name of the Democracy and to vindicate it
against such an unwanton aspersion, we would
allow an imposition to be practiced upon the cre
dulity of the opposition and permit it to mistake
the faint ebulitions of petty zaalousy for the voice
of the party. But we wish to be understood—The
democracy of Georgia are proud of the services
of the old line whig?, who having principle for
their guide and their country’s good their motto,
rallied to its banner in the fierce strife with
Black Republicanism and Know iVothiogism
and assisted in bearing it aloft in irinmph
and in victory. An appreciation of their worth
and commnding talents has been shown by
a recognition of their claims to preferment and
placing them in ihe highest offices within our gift,
Nor has the Democracy any jealousy towards
them. The principles which the Demociatic par
ty advocate, they advocate —its triumph is their
triumph—its defeat is their defeat. Then away
with the idea of making the old issues of the
Bank, tariff, internal improvements, sub-treasury
&c—issues which nave passed away into the tomb
of forgetfulness—the living issues of the present
day and tests of fealty to the Democratic party!
The principles laid down and enunciated in the
Cincinnati platform are the cardinal doctrines of
our creed—they are the touchstone of our politi
cal faith—the crucible which separates the gold
from the alloy. When the old line whigs who
are gallantly fighting with us repudiate this plat
form of principles, when they oppose the policy of
the democratic party and are found with its ene
mies, then the time will have arrived to cry recre
ancy and lop them off—but not till then. In the
meantime it will be discovered that many of the
old panel—simon- pure democrats of the Jeffer
son school—have left the fold and are m alliance
with our enemies. Let us hear no more of this
petty jealousy. It will do for the opposition
presses to proclaim it with trumpet notes with a
view of creating distrust towards worthy, patriotic
men, who will not advocate their heresies, but it
is unworthy that proud, elevated tone which should
characterize the democratic press and the demo
cratic party. We have great faith in the old whigs
who are acting with us and believe that, in
the hour of danger—when the fight shall wax
warm—when victory shall hang suspended be
tween ihe contending armies—when the result
of the conflict will depend upon the cour
age and heroism of each soldier in the ranks- -they
will be found rallying around our standard with
their shields over them—their battle-axes uplifted
and when the smoke of battle shall have passed
away, it will be found that *“<►■ *>, it

South-western Georgia Again—
We copied in our last issue an editorial from the
Albany Patriot in reference to the claims of
South-western Georgia to preferment, reserving
our comments for this impression of the Times. —
We agree with our cotemporary as u ‘re growing
importance of this section of the State and that
her claims to political advancement, like that of
Cherokee, have long been over-looked. Her
wealth, her Railroad facilities, her intelligent and
last increasing population give her a position se
cond to no other section in the State. We fear,
however, that the zeal of our talented cotempora
ry ol the Patriot has led him into some ungener
ous thrusts at our Chief Magistrate of the State,
which upon sober, second thought, he will willing**
ly acknowledge.
He complains that there is not a “solitary Ex
ecutive appointment to any office of profit from
South-Western Georgia” and thinks it an unjust
“discrimination.” The appointment of Benjamin
May, Esq., of Stewart eounty,as Treasurer of the
State Road, ia from South-Western Georgia, and
a better selection could not have been made.—
Worthy, intelligent, efficient, energetic, he has
discharged his duties with fidelity to the State and
is a true representative of our people. This our
friend will not gainsay. Then we ask that Gov.
Brown should be excused the side thrust convey
ed in the editorial of the Patriot. “ Givi unto
Caesar the things which are Caesar s.
Judge Thomas.
Hon. Thomas W. Thomas of Elbert, we are
pleased to see, is a candidate for Judge of the
Northern Circuit, at the approaching January
election. Asa sound jurist and an honest poli
tician, Judge T. is eminently worthy of public
confidence, and no doubt the people of his dis
trict will manifest a due appreciation of his
worth, by electing him to the position for which
he is announced.
Olympian games, after being discon
tinued for fifteen hundred years, are re-established
at Athens, in the ancient Stadium, by a decree of
the Queen Regent of Greece.
nine of the camels belonging to the
United States are now at Campe Verde, sixty
miles from San Antonio. Only one of those im

well, and promise to grow up equal in all respects
to those imported.
Democratic Meeting.
A meeting of the Democratic party of Savannah to
receive the report of the nominating committee for

Railroad Iron,— The total imports of railroad
iron from Great Britain to the United States for
the first seven months of 1858, compared with
those during a like space in 1856 and 1857, are as
follows:
1856 91,005 tons
-1857 105,613 “
1858 5,536 “
The above table shows that in seven months of
the present year we have imported less railroad
iron by 100,000 tons than in the corresponding
period of last year. Since August Ist, however’
there ha 9 been more activity in this department
and considerable quantities have been imported
by the Mobile and Ohio and other roads, and
several companies have contracted for supplies to
be delivered before the end of the year, so that the
total importations for 1858 will not fall short of
last year, as the above figures would indicate.
From Washington.
Washington, Oct. 5.—A private letter receiv
ed from Arizonia, states that the Fort Yuma
wagon road, under the superintendence of Col
Leach, is nearly completed.
Gen. Herran has, at the instance of Mr. Cass,
returned to Washington from New York on bu
siness concerning the questions between the Uni
ted States and New Granada.
The Interior Department has approved to Flori
da, under the Congressional grant of May, 1856,
over 183 acres of land, in aid of the Florida, At
lantic and Gulf Central Railroad, connecting
Jackson and Alligator, sixty miles in length.
With the view to promote an efficient military
organization among the citizens of the District of
Columbia, an order will be issued, by direction o
the President, for the appointment of a board to
revise the laws pertaining to local militia.
The Secretary of War contemplates leaving
Washington to-morrow for a brief visit to the
West.
It is the desire of the administration that Gen
Denver shall recall his resignation of the Govern
ship of Kansas, and of this fact he ha 9 been ad
vised.
The Nicaragua Imbroglio—Commercial
Intercourse of Spam and her Colonies’)
with the United States—the Mission to
Spain —Vessels for Paraguay , etc ., etc.
Washington, Oct. 5, 1858.
General Jerez, after having apologised
for the insulting conduct of the Nicaraguan
government to this country, with regard to
the Belly negotiations and the Martinez
manifesto, was formerly received by the
President to-day as Minister from Nicara
gua. It is understood that he has full pow
ers to arrange the difficulties with this coun
try, and to arrange for the acceptance of
the Cass-Yrissari treaty, with or without
certain unimportant modifications.
The Spanish government has sent a cir
cular to all its Ministers and Representa
tives in foreign countries, giving directions
to have sent to Madrid information of the
tariff system, revenue laws import duties,
&c., of the different nations. The govern
ment of Spain have in contemplation to
send a military force to Morocco, with a
view of redressing wrongs; and, after the
manner of England and of France in Algi
ers, to extend its empire at the same time.
It has been intimated that Mr. Tassara, the
liberal and enlightened statesman who now
represents Spain at Washington, is matur
ing- to suomit to his government for
a more Iree commercial intercourse and ex
change between Spain and her colonies and
the United States. No Spanish represen
tative at Washington ever understood bet
ter our institutions, was ever more appre
ciated, or was ever in a position to do more.
It is to be hoped the administration com
prehends this.
The mission to Spain has been tendered
to the Hon. William Preston, of Kentucky,
but it is not known yet whether he has de
termined to accept it.
Captain West and other gentlemen are
here in conference with the Secretary ol the
Navy with regard to some ot the vessels
appointed for the Paraguay expedition,
which, it is said, are unfit for the service,
and to consider the propriety ot substi
tuting others.
General Herran is active in endeavoring
to impress the government with the liber
al and friendly disposition of Ospina, Presi
dent of New Granada, and hopes that our
difficulties with New Granada may be
speedily settled. He speaks confidently of
this.
The President will return to his residence
at the White House to-morrow. The Sec
retary of War and ihe Postmaster General
are about to leave Washington for a short
time. — N. Y. Herald.

Plantation Work for October.
Sweet Potato Vines as Hay , —lt is re
markable that planters will allow their po
tato vines to be killed by frost, to the se
rious injury of the root, and total loss of
the vines, previous to gathering, and yet
they will spend time in saving pea vines
that are done growing and partially dry,
and fodder (corn blades) after the corn is
matured, when neither or both together
are worth as much as the potato vine for
stock for food, by 25 per cent. .On the
20th of this month, and earlier in propor
tion as you go northward in the cotton re
gion, the potato vine is in a state of luxu
riant growth, having shed none of its leaves
—full of saccharine matter and starch.
They may be gathered with great rapidity
and easily cured, as there is rarely rain
about the 20th of October. There is no
forage in the class of hays, for stock cattle
and mules, to be [compared to well cured
sweet potato vines.
Stock. —The stock of the plantation and
especially your porkers, and those of every
variety intended for exhibition at the Stare
Fair, should be receiving extra attention
this month. Every facility afforded them
now for putting on fat, will add greatly to
their coinfort and well doing through the
winter. The stock, both cattle and hogs,
should be allowed to glean the corn fields
after gathering; they receive much benefit
from it. In and during this month, before
the rains and frost commence, they do the
land no injury by gleaning and walking
over the land in dry weather, but they
should be kept off the field in rainy weather.
Colton Seed— You are now ginning,
and your cotton seed intended for manure
should be kept from the weather and un
der cover. In no item of the same value
does the plantation lose so much, as in its
cottonseed intended for manure, which
are throw u out in heaps against the side of
the gin house, to lie through the winter,
decayingand exposed to the sun, wind and
rain. In this condition, a heap of cotton
seed loses 30 to 50 per cent, of its value by
the middle of February. We shall call at
tention to this subject again in our article of
work for January, when we shall go fully
into the subject of applying cotton seed as
a manure for both com and cotton in their
unrotted state. This may, to many per
sons, appear paradoxical at first view .as
nothing is properly food for plants in its
undecayed condition, yet our experience of
several years, has proved conclusively that
such is the solubility of cotton setd, that
put into the grouud in January or February
they furnish food for the young plant, ei
their corn or cotton, as soon as it is up. In
this way none of the valuable gases are
lost by evaporation, etc., as in the case of
rotting the seed in bulk.
The Kansas Gold Fever.
The Bee gives its readers some informa
tion touching the new gold
region in the western part of Kansas, It
says:
“It would appear, indeed, that the geologi
cal formation of the country is analogous
ir. many respects to the placers of California,
and hence the inference, that with proper
apparatus and*efficient and organized labor,
the yield will be as rich as injthe latter State.
That this belief is thoroughly entertained is
evident|from the rush of immigration to
Pike’s Peak.”
Spain.
Position of the O'Donnell Cabinet. —
The papers from Madrid are dated to the
14th ult. Things in Madrid seem approach
ing a crisis. However unfounded may be
the persistent rumors of disturbances, there
can hardly be a doubt that O’Donnell must
soon take some more decided political po
sition. It is the intention of those progres
istas who have accepted office (some of
them, as Messrs. Luzuriaga and Roda,
high position in the government,)to resign
if the Premier does not frankly adopt a
liberal course. It is thought that a modifi
cation of the ministry is imminent. The
elections are to take place early in October
and will doubtless be attended with great
excitement.
The Madrid Gazette of the 14th ult, pub
lish advices from Lugo, stating that their
Majesties and the Royal family arrived
there on the preceding day in perfect health
and were received with acclamations; —
their majesties spent the day at Lugo, re
ceived the authorities, heard mass in the
cathedral, visited the hospital and nunnery
and presented their children to the people,
the most enthusiastic acclamations being
raised at the sight of the Prince and Prin
ces.
Parties at the North on the Tariff.-
The Richmond “South,” in an elaborate
article describing the position of parties at
the North, speaks as follows :
That all parties at the North, with the
exception of a few Free Trade Democrats,
balanced by a few Southern Protectionists,
are in favor of a protective or a revenue
tariff, with incidental protection, is obvious
from the following extracts from their most
recent avowals of opinion upon that sub
ject.
Avery large Democratic meeting in
Philadelphia, which recently adopted sound
resolutions on the subject of slavery, add
ed ; -We endorse and re-affirm the long
established Democratic doctrine of a tariff
for revenue, with a judicious incidental
protection to our home industry.”
The Black Republicans of New York de
nounce the system of “borrowing”, by the
Federal Government, and call for “some
comprehensive and adequate system of fi
nance.” What is this but a periphrasis for
an increase of the tariff, since taxation is
the only financial alternative of “borrow
ing ?”
The American party of New York pro
poses to “Americanize the Government” by
“protection for home labor and home manu
factures, and for the completion and pro
tection of our established works of internal
improvement.
How can this policy be carried out with
out a protective tariff ?
A stuttering man at a public table
had occosion to use a pepper box. After
shaking it with -all due vehemence, and
turning it in various ways, he found that
the pepper was in no wise inclined to come
forth.
“T-th this p-pep-per he exclaimed, with
a sagacious grin, “is so-something like my
self.”
“Why?” askad a neigebor’
“P-poo-poor delivery,” he replied.

Yellow Fever in New Orleans.
The following despatch was received from the
Howard Association of New Orleans, ‘on Satur
day evening,and sufficiently explains itself.
New Orleans, Oct. 9, 1853.
The Howard Association of New Orleans deem
it their duty to inform the country, that the pro
longed existence of yellow lever, and the present
great mortality, are solely owing to the influx
of strangers, who rapidly fall victims. Timely
notice will be issued by the Association, of the
decadence and disappearance of the epidemic.

Punctuation. —The points now used in
punctuation were introduced into writing
gradually, some time after the invention of
printing, The Greeks had none! and
there was no space between their words.—
The Romans put a kind of division between
their words, thus! —Publicus, Scipio, At
ricanus. Upon the end of the fifteenth
century only the period, colon, and comma
had been introduced. The latter came into
use latest, and was only a perpendicular fig
ure or line proportionate to the size of the
letter.
To Aldus Manutius, an eminent printer
in 1570, we are indebted for the semicolon,
and also for the present form of the com
ma. He also laid down rules now observed
in regard to their use. The notes of inter
rogation and exclamation were not added
till some years later, and it is not known by
whom. Inverted commas [“] were first used
by Monsieur Aillemount, a French printer,
and were intended by him to supersede the
use ol'italic letters, and the Printers call
them by that name. But they have lately
been used by the English printers, to denote
quoted matter. In a London book, “The
Art of English Poetry,” printed in IGO7, it
appears that the present mode of denoting
quoted matter is therein denoted by being
set in italic. It is not known by whom the
apostrophe and dash were invented.— The
Primer.
Democracy of Maine. —We are grati
fiecL*to learn from the New York Daily
News of the 29th ult. that the late election
in Maine has resulted in the return of two
National Democrats to Congress from that
State. In the present Congress Maine is
entirely represented by Black Republicans.
This result is a cheering one to the South,
as it indicates that in Congress which sits
prior to the Presidential election of 1860,
the Democratic party will have a substantial
majority to depend upon by which they can
sustain the Administrative measures on
wihch the election of the next President
may turn. The result in Maine may also
be regarded as foreshadowing a similar one
in Pennsylvania and New York. The Black
Republican cause is sinking to its proper
leve! at the North and will before long we
believe, perish out of its own corruption and
weakness.— Atlanta Intelligencer.
The Philadelphia Post Office.— The
Philadelphia papers say that Postmaster
General Brown, Attorney General Black,
and Honorable Howell Cobb, Secretary of
the Treasury, have decided in favor of the
purchase of the Levy property, adjoining
the Custom-house, on Chestnut street, and
the erection thereon of anew and commo
dious structure for a post office. The lot
is 30 feet front by 225 feet deep to Library
street, aid the new structure is contempla
ted to occupy also some 20 feet of the va
cant space adjoining the Custom-house,
thus giving it a front on Chestnut street of
50 feet, and a like width in the rear on
Library street, with ample loom for side
entrances, &c.
Cost of the Africans. —A correspon
dent of the Charleston Mercury states tha,
the Africans found on board the Echo,
which was recently captured off the coast
of Cuba, by the Dolphin, were purchased
on the West Coast of Africa at from fifty
cents to one dollar a head; and costing
scarcely more than ten or fifteen dollars to
be delivered on the coast of Cuba. The
cost of returning them to their native jun
gles will be about a thousand dollars a
piece.
More British Usurpations. —The last
intelligence from Nicaragua assures us that
the English are putting their Sambo king
of the Mosquitoes in possession of Punta
Arenas. The othed side of the river has
been in effect assigned to Cost© Rica by
England, in reward for her services in break
ing up the American Transit. Nicaragua is
thus plundered of her t©ritory on both sides
of the San Juan to endow the servants of
England, It is a curious way cf observing
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty; and to be in
perfeet keeping with the rest of it, Paulding
ought to have an admiral’s commission un
der Sambo, of Mosquito, with United States
pay of course.
iSIF” The balloon tragedy of Mr. Thurston’s
has recalled a similar one which occurrred
in the year 1855. Timothy Winchester
made an ascent from Norfolk', Ohio, in Au
gust of that year, starting in good spirits,
and amid the cheers of a large concourse of
people, since which time he has not been
heard from. When last seen he was near
and going in the direction of Lake Erie. No
tidings have ever been heard of him or his
balloon. This balloon, too, belonged to Mr.
Bannister.
The Duel. —The affair of honor, a set
tlement of which took place Monday night,
near Butterworth’s Bridge, between two
young gents of this city, by recourse to
blank cartridges, at ten paees by the light
of the comet, resulted according to previous
arrangement of the seconds. Wads were
exchanged, when by tne interposition of
mutual friends, the affair was ‘‘honorably
adjusted. ’ One of the party, however, we
regret to learn, got “shot” accidentally, on
his return to the city .-—Petersburg Press.
The Cotton Crop.
The planters generally agree, that the
Cotton is turning out much better than they
anticipated a month ago. The weather for
picking has been fine for the last two or
three weeks, and if it should continue so
for a few weeks longer the greater poriion
of the crop will be housed.
We learn the quality of the cotton is un
usually good. We are of thejOpinion that
the crop in this section will exceed the crop
of last year by at least one-fifth.— Pulaski
Times.
IIEADACH AND DEBILITY.
Mr. Silas Lipscomb of Birmingham says:
“I have found in Boevhave’s Holland Bitters a
remedy for Headache and Debility. My wife has
also used it with the greatest benefit.”
Mr. A. S. Nicholson, of Pittsburgh, also re
marks that he has experienced much relief from
its use for headache.
Take a half a teaspoonful three times a day
an hour before meals. Eat moderately, and then
of wholesome food, and you will find this really
a remedy for Sick and Nervous Headache,Weak
ness of any kind, Costiveness and Piles. Being
perfectly simple in composition, it may betaken
without fear by the Invalid. Possessing a fine
aromatic flavor, it is very grateful to the debilita
ted stomach.

HAIR RESTORATIVE.
Many kinds of Tonic are advertised that we
are assured will strengthen the hair and prevent
its falling out, but none that we have seen used
does all that it promises, save that of Professor
O J Wood’s. This we know is good from hav
ing tried it, and witnessed in several cases its truly
beneficial effects. Dr. Wood was kind enough
to send us a couple of botiles, and after finding
that it prevented our hair from falling out, we
presented a bottle to a ftiend who had been bald
or at least thirty years; it j-has restored Ins hair
entirely, and it is now as thick and glossy as when
he was twenty five. This we say in all sincerity
and we shall bo glad to have our friends try it for
themselves, as we believe it is just what it profess
es to be For real worth, Wood’s Hair Restora
tive is undoubtedly the best preparation now in
use for restoring hair on bald heads, changing gray
hair on bald hmds, changing gray hairs to their
original color, and for acosmet cor cure for pim
ples, it is fast taking the place of other prepara
tions. No toilet novv-a days is complete with
out it.
If any one should ask us what in our opinion,
arrived at by an impartial test, was the best and
most honest compound remedy for preserving and
beautifying the hair, and restoring gray hairs to
its original color, and the locks to the bald headed
we should, without hesitation say, Professor O. J.
Wood’s Hair Restorative. See advertisement in
another column.— Louisville Journal.
