Toe Newburyport (Mass.) Herald, in referring
to the efforts being made at Salem, in that State,
to resnaoitato the fishing interest, says they are
of no ns?. The Herald thinks that the fisheries,
aa a permanent business, will pass from Massa?

not keep pace with the increase In population. It
regards manufactures as her great business for
the future.
The Journal of Oommeroe states that the in?

says : ''Unless we . are much mtttaken, the last

time-perhaps for the whole of this decade. At
any rate, there are no present indications that the
same total will be reached during the -twelve

cused himself from having made a silly statement
hy attempting to make the ''blundering reporters''
responsible. The reporters held ? meeting, com?

reportera sometimes make nonsense of speeches,
bot it oftener happens that they make speeches of
nonsense.

CHARLESTON.
THTTESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10,1867.
THE CORN BILL.
We have an interesting communication on
this subject from a friend in tho country, but
it is too long for our columns. The writer is
very severe on the Legislature. He says,
among other things: "Far bettor would it have
been to suspend the whole machinery of gov?
ernment, as long as we are only a State in
name, than to have defeated the Corn Bill.
For a term during the wur we had no courts
nor legislatures, and we heard but little com?
plaint jof that state of things.". He then speaks
of the sad condition of the Poor Houses, the
Commissioners having to call on private chari?
ty to eke ont a scanty subsistence for the un?
fortunate inmates.
It is a fact that one of the principal causes
that impelled Governor ORR last fall to call a
special session of the Legislature, was the
scarcity of food in many of the. central and
upper districts of the State. He dwells on
this topic with great earnestness in his mes?
sage. The Corn Bill was considered ?and
passed, and the Commissioner appointed. The
conditions annexed being, however, impracti?
cable, the office was declined, and the matter
remained in abeyance ?11 the regular session
of the Legislature, when several schemes for
relief were submitted, but all finally defeated.
We hear great complaint in consequence from
various sections of the State ; and no wonder,
when we consider that the distress was great
enough to induce the Governor to convene the
Legislature to devise a measure of relief; and
when we ara further informed, as was ascer?
tained during the session in Columbia, that
there is a great want of corn in a majority'of
the districts, wo cannot be surprised at the
interrogatories of our correspondent : "Where
were the members from the suffering districts
when the decisive vote was taken? Some,
perhaps, were too tenacious of their populari?
ty to vote for the Bill, and I feel confident that
if there were any such, their constituents, ere
this time, have justly condemned such a course,
and will not be likely to return them. Or
have you ever thought that starvation may
soon be knocking at the door of some gallant
soldier, who has lost an eye or -a limb in thc
horrible war from which we have just emerged 1
Had you [t. e., the members of the General As?
sembly of South Carolina] thought so, you
would prefer tho State and her diminished
credit to ?ink rather than be goaded by such
harrowing reflections."
We say this much in justice to our corres?
pondent and the large class he represents.
The members of the Legislature doubtless had
their reasons for voting as they did. We have
not conferred with any of them, but presume
that the explanation of their course of action
must be sought in the embarrassed condition ot
the finances of the State.

The following statement will show tho terrible
effect the late war hod on American shipping,
that ship-building in-the United States has been,
according to the report of the Sec re tar v of the
Treasury, almost destroyed, and, according tc
Northern journals, native commerce is on the road
to extinguishmenL For the last six years thc
commerce of tbe United States has fallen behind
that of Great Britain fully fifty per cent., and con?
tinues to recede year by year. The following
statement of the Secretary gives confirmation to
this assertion and begins to awaken undisguLjed
alarm :
The tonnage of American vessels engaged in the foreign
carrying trade which entered United States ports was

At tn.s rate, says one of the journals, "we shall,
ere long, cease to be a commercial power of any
? importance." ."' J
The foregoing has-been published in several
of the journals of the country, both North and
South. The ruin to ship building and the
decay in commerce is erroneously attributed to
the late war, and not as it should be to a high
tariff, excessive and oppressive, unequal, u?jrst
and odious. Now that eighteen months have
elapsed since the close of the war, and there
has been ample time for recuperation, why
should "ship building in the United States
be nearly destroyed, or native commerce be on
the road to extinguishment, so that ere long we
shall cease to be a commercial power "?
The following, in strong contrast, from" a late
number of the English Mercantile Times, explains
the secret, and should open the eyes of the
people,-the workingmen and mechanics es?
pecially (of the North, of courte), to thc ruin?
ous policy of protection. It exhibits the true
and unmistakable causes of British commercial
and naval progress, and in the opposite policy
of the United States, the causes of the decay in
her commerce and shipping.

SOLUBLE PACIFIC
GUANO.
THE COMPOSITION OF THIS GUANO IS IDEN?
TICAL WITH PERUVIAN. IT DIFFERS
ONLY IN THE PROPORTIONS OF THE
SAME ELEMENTS.
WHILE IT CONTAINS LESS AMMONIA. IT HAS
nearly twice the quantity of Phosphate of Lime,
15 per cent, of which ls Immediately soluble. Its effects
on Cotton thc post season have, In many instances, ex
colled Peruvian Guauo. It has in no case proved less ac?
tivo in tho carly growth of tho crop. When drought in?
tervenes tho crop does not suffer from its use as is the
case with Peruvian Guano. By reason of the presence tn
it of so large a por cent, of Phosphate of Limo its USO im?
proves the soil to an extent that cannot be realized from
Peruvian Guano.
Every cargo of this Guano ls subjected to rigid inspec?
tion analysis, and is sold ou a basis of actual value.
The undersigned, Agont, is prepared to furnish tho tes?
timony of well known South Carolina planters in evidence
of the superior excellence of this Guano.
