For three years the looms of Nankin, Hongchou and Canton have Men engaged on the silks .and satina of her bridal trousseau;-and just now they are an? nounced as complet ed, at a cost, of nearly half a million in our money. When the bride? groom,'who bas the sun for his emblem, goes forth in a car drawn by elephants, his bride, who represents the moon, Is to be borne to her palace in a palanquin composed entirely of strings of pearls. ' -Th? fads of the affair of iheflringofa Spanish Government ship npon the Florida on the high seas, are ?aid to be substantially these: "After the Florida had sailed from St. Thomas, a Spanish man-of-war followed and fired? blank cartridge at her. The Florida j continued on her way, and the man-of-war then fired a ball cartridge. The Florida was | then stopped and a boat sent from the Vasco Nunez de I lal bo?, the officer in charge having orders to examine the Florida's papers. As no fault was found with the papers, the Flori? da was allowed to proceed on her voyage." It,la believed,that if this act.was, dont? by the order of Spain, or - ls upheld by^heiy whjen brought to her notice grave consequences may eDsue. The probability is, however, that she j will disclaim ail responsibility for it. The rule ls that ootslde^the. marine jurisdiction there, can be no forcible vlsitlng on the high seas by one nation of the vessels of another in time of I peace for any sort of inquiry. This well-un? derstood principle of international law bas! boon so often vindicated by this country that Spain can scarcely be expected to violate lt In j the present instance with impunity. ..-Krupp's great Iron works at Ewen, Ger? many, cover nearly eight square miles, and one ?ad a half miles are under cover. They fur? nish employment for ten thousand men, wbo do their work under a discipline as strict as that of the military service. ' Castings weigh? ing forty tons hare been made several times I In these works, and (en arid twelve-ton blocks are every-day sights; There are' forty-nine j .hammers in the works, of which four or five ' are twenty-five tons, three or four fifteen tons, and a large number five and ten tons. The greatest of all the hammers ls a wonder, and cost five hundred thousand dollars. Its founda? tions are one hundred feet deep, consisting of three tl em-the first constructed of solid, ma? sonry, the second of tbe heaviest and stoutest oaks to be found In all Germany, and the third of cylindrical segments of cast iron upon which the anvil block rests. The bead of the ham? mer weighs fifty tons. Its face ls of steel, and in making It, alter the steel had been cast, and while It was molten, cast iron was poured-into lt from tbe back. Everything th at belongs to lt, and to the engine that operates it, is in ^duplicate and triplicate. Four steam cranes serve It, and these are each tested to bear two hundred tons, and are intended to bear forty ton ingots, which are the largest cast. In 1866 sixty-one thousand tons of steel were turned out from these works. * -Lowrey and his gang of outlaws continue to rule .Robeson County, North Carolina, un? disturbed. The fruitless campaign waged against them by the State and Federal troops . only served to render the desperadoes more desperate and daring. A correspondent who. paid a visit to the locality recently found the inhabitants in such a condition of abject fear that they, with one or two exceptions, absolutely refused to converse on the subject of the out? laws', and thereby risk their lives. The cor? respondent, by dint of considerable Ingenuity, managed to extraot a few statements from the wretched citizens. They told him that, on some occasion?, Lowrey and his men had waylaid passenger trains at the smaller sta? tions, armed to the teeth, and abundantly pre? pared to engage in combat'with thrice their own number. The plundering of freight trains was a very common occurrence. The farmers' houses are Invariably besieged for bread and meat as often as the outlaws got out of provisions; and such a reign of terror exists that the citizens, 30 far from dreaming ol; informing against Lowrey, or opposing him In any way, actually send him, word on the approach of any danger to, him or his band. Those who have found lt possible to dispose .-of their property have done so, and have left a neighborhood where neither their persons .?or properties can be^ protected by the local, State or even the Federal authorities. - -The trial of Mrs. Wharton, charged with the murder pf General Ketchum by poison, i3 progressing slowly In Annapolis." The minute? ness and. technicality of the.main poru. ol, tbe evidence which thus far has been a?uaced is very remarkable Indeed, and bas given rise to. quite an- animated discussion between soma of fae leading chemists of this country. The attorney' for the Commonwealth, with a zeal and energy hitherto unparalleled in the criminal annals of the State, has brought for? ward witnesses for the Commonwealth who have declared upon scientific grounds, after a long and painstaking Investigation, that ihe poison found in the stomach ol General Ket chum was antimony. The counsel for the de lence, on the other hand, have Introduced witnesses, embraciog some of the'leading chemical experts of this country, who, after a diligent and careful examination, have declared that the results arrived at by the witnesses for the Common? wealth are "Inconclusive and fallacious.? The evidence will probably be concluded by the end of the present week. The counsel for the prisoner are exhausting all their ef? forts to secure an acquittal, aud the prevailing impression in the community where the trial ls going on 1B, that if the counsel for the de? fence rebut the evidence ol the Common? wealth in regard to the antimony the jury will render a verdict ol "not guilty." The case is everywhere attracting attention, and ls likely to become one of the causes celebres cf this country. . The prisoner ls a woman of good address and affable manners. Her manner in the court-room ls very natural and composed. In jail she is not forgotten by ber friends, who are constantly sending ber "something good ? to eat." _, The Import Duty on Rice. The Chamber of Commerce and the Board | of Trade of Charleston have entrusted to special committees the duty of considering the propriety of memorializing Congress, in opposition to the proposed reduction of the | import dnty of two and half cents a pound on foreign rice. These bodies represent every branch of the mercantile interests ol this city. Among the members are the bankers and merchants who are relied on for active help in every matter of public con? cern. The formal resolutions of the Chamber and of the Board are accepted as tbe deci? sion of the mercantile community. It ls most important, therefore, that these organi? zations move with prudence and delibera? tion. They cannot afford to be pledged, by a minority of their Dumber, to any policy j wbicb is not clearly wise and just. The rice trade is of great value to j Charleston, and we can understand that they who are engaged in it sbonld earnestly oppose any measure which is likely tc? i diminish tbe yearly yield. And tbe rico j planters, who suffered terribly by the war, anet are, by degrees, restoring their broad acres to their former condition, are ready to j make a hard fight against any legislation which will lower tbe market value of their crops, and reduce their rate of profit. We believe that the rice planters are agreed'in declaring that they cannot afford to grow [ rice at all, if there is any serious falling off in tbe Beling price, and they, and their friends, are disposed to use every means | within their reach of preventing so unpleas? ant a result. Tbe full force of this proposi? tion must be felt in Charleston, where the j losses and heavy burdens of the. w-coun try j planters are only too well known ; bot the j question is, whether this city, acting through the Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade, can properly take active steps in favor of the identical policy of Protection, for which Pennsylvania and New England battle bard, and which is expected to be overcome by the united efforts of the South and West ? Tbe plea of the South Carolina rice-grower is the plea of the Pennsylvania iron founder. Whatever the superficial difference, their substantial merit is the same As tbe rice grower may ask that be shall not be brought Into competition with the pauper labor of Asia, until the damages caused by the war are repaired, so the mill-owners and manu? facturers of New England ask that they be protected against the pauper labor of Eu? rope. Tbe Rhode Island mill-owners, who point to their huge buildings and costly ma? chineryr and bid representatives in Con gres a remember that Free Trade in cottons will make the property valueless and throw thousands of persons ont pf employment, oe- j cupy the same ground as the South Carolina rice-planters, who fear that a reduction of Lhe duty on rice will cause their acres to lie idle and deprive their negro laborers of the means of gaining their daily bread. Pro? tection for the rice-grower and Protection tor the manufacturer of cotton goods or ma shinery is one and the same thing-as eco? nomically false in the one case as in the other. There is as much wisdom in de? manding a high import duty on rice as there is in demanding a high dnty for the encour? agement of orange-growing In Florida. A bandfull of bananas may, with good luck, be grown in Charleston; but this is not held bo justify the claim that a prohibitory duty sbonld be imposed on tropical fruit. Absurd j as the comparison may seem, the case of the mill-owner, of the rice-grower, of the orange grower and of the grower of bananas, is, in principle, the same. We appreciate fully the force of the argu? ment that a reduction of the duty on rice, however correct in principle, would inflict a ?erious ipjury upon the planters. .. This, in? deed, suggests one of the main difficulties with which the advocates ot Free Trade have to contend. The benefits of protection are sensibly, felt by the persons for whose advantage the high duty is imposed; The j blessings of free trade are distributed the whole country over, and are shared by all its people. Bat if it be borne in mind that a duty on cottons is a tax levied upon every consumer of cottons for the profit of the mill-owner and manufacturer, lt will be understood at once that Protection considers, the well-being of the few, while Free Trade consults the well-being of the many. It is to the interest of the rice-growers and rice-mer? chants that the product should, in conse? quence of a Protective dnty, sell at a remu? nerative price. It is to the interest of every consumer of rice throughout the United States that it should be obtained at the low? est possible cost Against the temporary harm done the rice-grower by Free Trade must be set the permanent advantage real? ized by every consumer of rice throughout j the country. It may be said that a Protec? tive duty on rice is only demanded as long as New England and Pennsylvania demand] a protective duty upon the manufactures in which they are interested. But two wrongs do not make a right. The fact that an American citizen pays daty upon every arti- j cle of clothing, upon every pound of iron, and upon every implement with which he j werke, is no reason why he should also be taxed opon every pound of rice which ia bought aa food for bis family. . There is another point which should, not be forgotten. The Sooth is the:na.*,.ural ally of the West, which ia the mainstay of the Free Trade movement Free Trade la a car? dinal doctrin? of the Democratic party, and is opposed by the majority of tbe Republican party. The Free Tratare o? the North* the Sooth and the West will be able, before long, BO to control the legislation of the country that every man will buy whatever he needs wherever it cari be had cheapest. So rapid? ly is the movement gaining strength that the Republicans are already preparing to throw a tub to the whale in the shape of minor re? ductions of import duties. Upon this ground they are willing to reduce the duty on rice; a generous concession to the Free Trade sen? timent, at the expense of Georgia and the j Carolinas. There is behind this the hope that j the Southern'States may be led to commit \ themselves to Vie doctrine of Protection, We say that, if the City of Charleston, out pf consideration for the unfortunate rice planters, petitions Congress to retain the Protective duty on rice, we shall be abso? lutely debarred from taking part in aDy agi? tation for the removal of the import duties which enrich New England while they im? poverish the rest of the Union. Ifwea?k Congress to remove the duty on cottons, woollens and iron, wbil? we urge that body to retain the duty upon rice, we say, in effect, that South Carolina is only a Free Trade State in the sense that she is unwilling that any Protective duty should be imposed ex? cept Jor the benefit of her own people. The dnty on rice was raised to the present | rate (two and a half cents a pound) in 1864. In 1861 the dnty was only one cent a pound, and from 1857 to 1861 the duty was fifteen per cent. It will probably be proposed to reduce the duty to the rate obtaining before the war. We had t?o objection to retaining the present rate, which was imposed without the consent of the South, and was continued withonther request. Rut when the question, stripped of all disguise, is, whether Charleston, through her.commercial representatives, shall array herself on the side of Free Trade or of Pro? tection, we unhesitatingly place THE NEWS squarely on the side of Free Trada And we cannot believe that the mercantile commu? nity, when they ponder the matter, will make a different decision. We heartily wish, however, that no public action had been taken in Charleston upon this subject. ?josuiter'a fHtters.
