the other, and came near him when the

his thigh, Mr.. L. still continued to advance
though badly wounded, being desirous Of
taking him without firing, when within
few steps, the negro raised his gun to
shoot, L. was looking out for this, and
succeeded in shooting first; the whole

he scarcely brcathed after falling. The

USEFUL DoGs.-Mr. Kendall in the ac-
count of his Santa Fe expedition, speaks
ofsome remarkable dogs used by the Mexi-
cans to guard their sheep. He says. "Ihere
were very few men along with this immense
herd Of sheep: butin their stead were large
number of noble dogs, who appeared to be
peculiarly gifted with the faculty of keep
ins them together.-Thcre wasuo running
about, no barking nor biting, in their ssys-
tenn of tactics; but on The contrary mey
would walk gently up to any sheep that
happened to stray from the fold, take 1t
carefully by the ear, and lead it back TO
the flock. Not the least fear did the sheep
manifest at the approach .of these dogs;
and there was no necessity for it. They
appeared to me TO be cross of the New.
CnunJland and ST. Bernard species, of very
large size, and with frank, open counten-
ances, and from what could learn, ex-
lremely sagacious."

The Ncp Tariff Law.--A cargo of26O
cases of crushed sugar, each containing
1900 lbs. is now landing at this purl.--
This 10000 lbs. of sugar was imported
from Amsterdam, and paid duty of2O per
cent al valnrrm, or about 3 4 cents a
pound, making difference Of over Sl3,.
COO on the cargo. When this sugar was
sen, here, it was intended TO export it T."
Italy, with the benefit Of drawback, but
having hlundered into so favorable posi-
ton, it will Of course be retained here.
A cargo of brandy is also landing, which
was admitted last week at duty of 20 per
cent. Under the new Tariff the duty is
81 gallon, about five times the former
duty.
These will serve as specimens Of The
operation ofhc new Tariff upon importers
who have on hand large stocks of goods
Of particular descriptions. Upon mer-
chants whose cargoes are yet to arrive, it
will in some cases operate unlavorably.
A merchant remarked 10 us the other
day, while the details of the bill were un-
der discussion in Congress, that the deci
sion of the question whether tea should be
free, or pay duty Of 20 per cent, would
affect his interests TO the amount Of S5O,-
900.
The cash duties ordained by the new
Tariff, will operate very severely upon
houses of small means, inasmurh as, after
purchasing the goods abroad, an amount
of duty greater in some cases than the cost
of the goods, m%s, be paid in cash before
any thing can be realised from sales.

A party ofgentlemen, seven in number,

They have been on scouting expeditions y

fair business. On this side Of the Nueces
they encountered da party ofMexican spies,
about fifty in number, and attached them.
The engagement was short, the citizens Of
"ihe greatest republic on earlh' refusing
10 come up to the scratch. Twelve of the
spies were killed; the remainder taking TO-.
their heels. On their persons were found
considerable sums of money, which you Z
may rest assured were removed. no constitu-
tional scruples preventing our boys from
pocketing the deposites. The spies were
armed with beautiful silver mounted guns.
and had they been men would have given
our party warm reception. They stated
that they belonged to the advance guard of

encamped on the other side Of the Nue]

from crossing over in consequence of high
water, the river being in many places four
miles wide. TIE country between the
Nueces and San Antonio was under water.
They also stated that delachments of Mexi-

points from the sea coast as far up as

often distnr,s those characters, but they
ought to be above pride. A cultivated
mind, so far from being lrampled by
narrow income. flies beyond it and tastes
the quulity Of the fine intellect in faculty
of selection. The wisest economy is the
Inicest lasle. Profusion is tasteless. A
man of fine Judgment and small income
will actually live in more genleel style
than rich. coarse minded nabob. lie
may have fewer articles Of expense, but
they will be choice and delicate. His
style Of living will be frugal yet elegant;
which is more pleasing than ex.ravagance
without judgment. A genteel taste in li,-
ing eschews extravagance, pomP, and su.
pernuity as essentially vulgar. There is
not a more piriful sight than mean spirit
ed man in splendid house. His soul is
too small for it. On the other hand, the
great cannot be contained within the mos.
magnificent palaces, and yet may conten.

great and poor good man, in his modes,
and retired parlor, affords more noble
spectacle than king or pyramid.
