Hon-, then, out of these 90 or 91 millions of;
dutiable goods are we toraise a revenue of ;
26 millions? No man, I presume, w<ll rise
here in his place and say that we are to rely
either on direct or internal taxes. Who has
the temerity to ineer the waves of popular indigation
which will flow round and bury him,
whoever he maybe, that should propose, in !
time of peace, to raise a revenue by direct 1
'' taxation ? Yet this is the only resource to fly
9- to, save the procee s of the public lands, on
which I shall speak presently, and which I
can satisfy any man is not to bo thought of. j
You are. ther fore to draw this amount of 2o
millions from the 91 millions ol dutiable artic.
les imported- and. to reat h "hatsum, at what
rate Der cent must vou ? #.*
J nhall here say noth'ng, or but a word or
two, on the subject of home valuation?,
. a subject which a friend has care of,(Mr.
Simmons,) than whoin none is more I
competent to its full elurlication. Me .
? thinks, ns 1 understand, that there can!
be devised a satisfactory system of such
valuation, and f heartily wish him sue- J
cass in the atteuijrt. I will only say that, i
in my opinion, if we raise hut ten mil- |
lions, without any reference to protection. ;
> without referonce to any tiinj but to;
mere honest v, however small the amount
"*"*> may be, we should oursclv s assess tho va- j
Jue of tho goods on which we lay the j
duty, and not b.uve that value to be fixed j
by f':rhtjrners. As things now stand, we i
ilay the duty, but foreigners fixlhe value i
of the goods, (iive me but the power of
fixing the value of the goods, and i care
little, in comparison, what may be the
rate of duty you impose. It is evident
that on the ad valorem principle it is the i
"V /"Tn'i2l_ f* fPinnor u.ti r> virf no II*,* f* vf>? thr? artlial

amount of the duty paid. It is the foreigner.
who. bv fixing that value, virtual
ly legislates for us; and that in a case;
where his interest is direody opposed to
r^E7Ts; that of our revenue. I say, therefore,
'-that independent of h!I considerations o!
> protection, independent ??f all ends or j
: motives hut the prevention of tho>e in- j
.famous frauds which have been the d.s- I
grace of our custom- oust-?frauds in
which the foreigner, with his double and
triple and quadruple invoices, ready to
be produced as circumstances may require,
fixes the valuo ofthe merchandise
taxed?everv consideration of national j
*
d'gnity, justice, and indepcdcncc do- j
inamls the substitution of home valuation j
in the place of foreign. What eflfcct j
such a change may have in the augmentation
of the revenue I am not prepated
to say, l>ecause I do not know the amount: i
y v- t i think the rate may he set down at from j
twenty to twenty-five per cent, in addu !
, ....tion to the foreign value of imports. I
. .:Ap-. : jdo not speak wilh great confidence. If
the rate is twenty-five per cent., then it j
would add only five per cent, to tlie rate 1
of twenty per cent, established by the,1
. : comprimiise act. Of course, if the home
be substituted for the foreign valuation,
the augmentation ofduties beyond twenr
ty per cent-, will be less by that home va.
tuation, whatever it may be. Without,
however, entering into the question ol j
.1%. hoinc valuation, and leaving that subject
to be arranged hereafter, I shall treat
the subject as if the present system of
foreign valuation is to continue.
I then return to the inquiry, on an importation
amounting to ninety-one mil.
v lions, how much duty must he imposed in
SS i * ? ? - ?.. _ . c . ...
oruer 10 raise a non revenue u? i
nix millions? The question docs not ml;
... 1 , .
X. ,m* ?' P0"00* accuracy; the utmost tout
"> can Ihj reached is a reasonable approximation.
Suppose every one ol the imported
articles to be subject to a duty of
. thirty percent., then the gross revenue |
will amount to $*27,3i)(MHH). Deducting |
the expenses of collection, which m*iv ho j
^stated at $l,60i),000, will give $25,700,- !
000, or throe hundred thousand dollars
v less than the proposed amount of twenty.
.; six millions.
But I might as well take this opportun
ity to explain n subject which is not weil
r'" understood. It has been supposed, when
I propose to fix a rate of ad valorem duty i
as the maximum to he allowed, that my j
f meaning is, that all articles, of every do
suription, are to be carried up t-? that j
point, and fixed at that rate, as on a sort
died of Procrustes. But that is not inv
??"idea. No doubt certain articles ought to
igo up to the maximum?I mean those of i
- prime necessity belonging to the class of
* protected articles. There are others
others of small bulk and great compare. !
five value, and therefore easily smuggled,
and presenting a great temptation to the j
evasion of duty, which ought not to lie
wnMr.^tr/1 to n less rate. There should. !
? - . ,
therefore be a discrimination allowed uri. i
i * - V
der the maximum rate according to the!
exigency of the respective circumstances !
of each particular interest concerned.)
Since it will require a d ity of thirty per
cent, on all articles to give the amount of
twenty five million seven hundred thou
sand dollars, and since some of them will
not hear so high a duty as thirty per cent.,
* it follows that less than that rate will
certainly not answer the necessary de\v,
inands of the Government, and it may
in some particular cases require a rate
somewhat higher than that in o'der to
raise the proposed sum of twenty s x mil.
Ri,? a<j thn reserved fund of two
millions for contingencies will not require
an annual revenue for that purpose,
should the amount 01 duties levied he loss
than twenty-six millions, or even between
twenty.four and twenty-five-millions, the
reserved tund may be made u|> bv accumulations,
during successive years, and
atil! leave an amount .sufficient -to meet
an annual expenditure ot twentv-two millions
and two millions for the public debt.

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier,
Washington*, Mar. 21.
This was the day for offering resolutions
in the Ilousc. The States were, accordugly,
called for resolutions, beginning
wi:h North-Carolina, whore tho call was
nterrupted a fortnight ago. Mr. Stanly
uffered a resolution changing the rules so
is to enable a bare majority of the House
o take any bill out Committee of the
Whole, stop debate on the same, and take
die vote on all the pending amendments.
Much opposition whs manifested to the
proposition by all the democratic members,
but it was finally adopted by a ma
lority of five.
Several attempts were made, but withnut
success, to call up the order of the dov
?the Loan bill.
The call for resolutions continued till it
reached Ohio. Mr. Giddings, an abolition
member, offered a scries of resolution* on
[be Creole case, maintaining that the
slaves, under the Constitution of tlu. United
States, became free, after having heeii
carried, by sea, and with the consent of
their owners, beyond the jurisdiction of
the places where they were held as
slaves.
A motion to lay the resolutions on the
table was rejected, 58 to 125?many
members wishing to obtain a direct vote
jpon them.
The previous question on the adoption
>f the resolutions was ordered, 122 to 61.
Several members then began to ask to
he excused from voting?Mr. Everett on
the ground that the subject was before the
Committee on Foreign Relations and he
lid not wish to commit himself by a vote
now?Mr. Fessonden, because he had not
time to consider the question, and Mr.
Gushing because the resolutions were
British arguments, and treasonable to the
United States; none were excused.
Mr. Giddings then rose and offcro 1 to
withdraw his resolutions, finding that he
had raised a storm that he was unable to
item. After some question of his right
to do so, he was allowed to withdraw
them.
M. Br.tt.s thon moved a resolution ccnsuring,
Mr. Giddings for offering such h
proposition?but, as Virginia had been
called, he was not in order,
Mr. Welter, of Ohio, offered the same
resolution of censure, and Mr. Botts moved
the previous question.
Mr. (biddings demanded time to prepare
for his defenoe, till Thursday week.
Mr. Wise objected to hearing the defence
unless the accusers could also he heard in
reply. To allow Mr. Giddings to speak,
while our mouths were shut by the pre.
viotis question would be to give Mr. G.
and the abolitionists a great advantage.
A debate arose on the postponement
and it was suggested that no one but the
delinquent had a right to speak, as the
previous question had !>oen moved. The
Speaker decided that the previous question
could not he entertained without
cutting off Mr. Giddings' defence. Mr.
Fillmore appealed, and then, it being 5
o'clock, the House adjourned.
This affair will occupy some time. As
a privileged question, it will come up tomorrow
as soon as the House meets. This
is another obstacle in the way of business
?another firebrand hurled into the
House.
[On the 2'2d. the question came up
again, unci after several motions, the resolntionof
censure was adopted, yeas 123,
nays 69. The preamble stating the
ground of censure was then.adoptee, 119
to 63. Mr. Wise in one of his puerile
fits refused to vote. On the 23d Mr.
Giddings resigned his seat, with an intention
doubtless of being a candidate for
re-election.]

A Great Work op art.?The Box Tunc |
nel.?The great Western Railway, England I
is a magnificent work, and is marked by many j
extraordinary indications of labor and enter- (
prise, it is "the longest independent line of
railway completed in England. The "box
tunnel," which formes one of its principal
features, pierces through Box Hill, between
Chippenham and Bath?part of which is 400
feet above the Ic-Vel of the railway. The
funnel is 9,6*?0 feel 1 >ng 39 high, and
25 wide, to the ou'side of brick work and ma.
sonry to more than 54,000 ciibicyarc's. About
80,000,000 of bricks were used. A ton of gun.
powder and a ton of canities were consumed
every week for two and a half years, and i,* 1
100 me.i and 250 horses were constantly employed.
For a considerable distance the tunnel
passes through froeton rock, from the fissures
of which there was at times an immense
influx of waier. 7'his formed such an impediment,
that the work was on one occasion
discontinued for a long time. But the water
was finally pumped out through the agency
of a steam engine of 50 horse power, which
threw it out ai the rate of 82,000 hogsheads a
day. Tiie contractors, Messrs. Bremer and
Lewis aescr/e immense pr. ise for indefatigable
exertions.
From the Albany Cultivator.
to make hens l\y perpetually.
Ed*. Cultivator.?Hens will lay eggs per*
pettually, if treated in the following manner.
Keep no rooBters; give the hens fresh meat,
I chopped fine like sausage mea?, once a day, a
| very small portion, say half an ounce a day to
I pach hen, during1 winter, or from the time
insects disappear in the f ill, till tb .y apoear
again in the spring. Never allow any eggs
to remain in the nest; for what is called nt*t
eggs. When the roosters do not run with the
hens, and no nest eggs arc left in the nest, the
I hens will not cease laying af*er the production
of twelve or flt'een fggn.asthry always do
when roosters and ne9t eggs are allowed; but
[continue laying perpetually. My nens always
Uy all winter, and each from seventyfive",to
one hundred rgga in succession. If
the above plan were generally followed eggs
would be just as plenty in winter as in summer
The only reason why hens do not lay in winter
as freely as in summer, is the want ofa/timalfood,
which they g*t in summer in abundance
in the form of insects. I hare 'or several
winters reduced my theory to practice,
and proved its entire correctness, It must
be observed that the presence of the male is
not necessary lor the production of eggs, as
they are formed whether the male be present
or not Of course such eggs will not produce
chickens. When chickens ate wanted, the
roosters must of course run with the hens. B.
A Teetotalers Sign.?As a newly
pledged Washingtonian was passing the
Streets, a few weeks since, he was thus
hailed hv an old Rurn companion:
44 I say Tom, they tell inc you've become
a teetotaler."
* Yes," was the reply, and I'm proud
of it, and wish you would he one, too. I
have been a drunkard, a loafer, and almost
every thing else, for the last three
years; and thank God, it has made a man
again!"
The companion hardly knew what to
say to this; at length, he added in a jocular
manner.
Well, Tom, they say you teetotalers
have a sign, to know each other by?
won't you tell an old crony what it is?"
- ^ ' I ^ ?? A
" uertainiy ; wo- nnve a mosi exccncm
sign," added Tom, pulling out a double
handfull of half dollars, and shaking them
in the face of his former companion, and
said, " This is the teetotaler's sign !"
This proved a knock-down argument,
and the other promised to sign at the
next meeting, for he liked their sign.?

At the last C. C. P. a cause was tried

which many women
like your Ladyship, singly possess."
It was a more beautiful turn given bv
a great lady, wljo be:ng asked where hor
husband was, when he lay concealed for
having been deeply concerned in n conspiracy,
resolutely answered, she had hid
him. - This confession drew her before
