Texas. She brought papers, but we learn from Capt

sued The Mexcans under Gen Wall from San Antonio
The enemy were terrifying themselves at the river

that place. as sooa he received achievements The

Between 90 and 10000 Mexicans are now their

Gen. Wall had advanced from 90 miles Of San Anto

Tup PROTECTIVE POLICY.

uappcars from letter of Lord Stanley, the British
Colonial Secretary, to The Governor General OF Ca
uada-un extract from which we lately publshed-that
there is a heavy duty on the importation of wheat and
flour into Ireland from Canada-tha s, from one por
ton Of The British dominons to another. All the
world knows that large portion OF the people of Ire
land are obliged to substitute potatoes for bread, and
labor under the greatest difficulties in procuring a
scaniy supply of the most ordinary food Yet, Tor the
purpose of protecting the interests of one class in
England, these difficulties greatly increased by a
heavy duty ~ha. is empha.icaily denomlnaed "the
stan of life.
Such is the operation of the protective system every
where, although i; may not always be palpably
erue! aud unius, this particular instance. The
protective Tariff (or such it is, to all intens and pur
poscsl inflicted the people of the U. s. at the last
session is quite unjust aid oppressive to the grow
ers of cotton, rice, tobacco and ali tie ether staple
commodities OF the Sou,h-wh the single exception of
susar-ar the heavy duty on Canada flour is to the
people Of ireland. The planters of the South with the
exception just noted, Gs. no protection except that OF
equal and impartial justice; simply because there is,
and can be- no competition ifc:i abroad We import
neither rice nor coiIon and hence there is neaess
II for projecting these staples at the expense Of o,her
classes and sections o The Union They can, therefore,
neyer come in TO. share lie spois of the protective
system.
Nor is this all. The protective tariff, while it abso.
ue;y depresses the prices of cotton and rice by check
nr the importation those manufactured articles which
are relied on for the aycn; ofhese great staples
hances the price Of almost every thing the Southern
planter has to purchase His clothing, AID that Of
his slaves his cotton bagging his SALT and, in short,
large portion Of his Indispensable supplies, are more
less burdened with imposons of thirty, sixty, and Tin
some cases) three hundred per cent for which he
ceives no equiyaieat whatever. Thus he is pinched
through both ears and his candle is lighted at both
ends.
On the other hand, the commerce ofhe korlhern and
Middle States is already whitening under the blight
of "p-oeciion." Cargoes OF goods are sent back TO
where they from, because they cannot bear the
heavy duties of the protective Tariff; and, a neces
sary quence, ships will return empty from Eu
rope We are assured, on authority which cannot be
doubted that never, during the lowest periods OF
depression, when lhe panic orators were most loud and

MATRlMONY AND BLOOD

We copy the following from the Lie Grange Tenn. J
Gatherer;
We are panied to learn that on Thursday evening
last a most horrible transaction took place in this
county, nine or ten miles from this place which re-
suited IN the death of David Jarnegan, Esq and The
woundlng of several other persons The general
facts we will state as we heard them 1t appears that
Mr.. Morgan had arranged matrimonial eopemen,
with daughter of the deceased which with the aid
OF friends, was accomplished Thursday; the par
ties having repaired to house in the neighborhood
where the marriage ceremony was legally performed
Upon learning the fact of the eopement. Jarnepan
became very indignant, and determined to 90 in pur
suit. Taking few friends, he soon reached the
house where the marriage party assembled We
learn that he forced The door and entered when an at
tack commenced, in which the deceased received sun-
dry wounds, which produced his death early yester-
day morning. Some Others were wounded. among
them Mr. J. F. Simmons who we understand Is ser,7
ously, if not dangerously injured With the deceas-
ed we were well acquainted, He was a wealthy
planter and possessed many fine points of character
His unlimely end is much regretted by his numerous
friends
