MRS. GEN. GAINEs-ROMANTIC STORY.

WASHINGTON, Feb l3-The two most important
cases now before the Supreme Cour,, those of the
heirs of Stephen Gard, the city of Philsdel-
pha, and that of Mrs. Gaines the wife of Gen
Gaines who has long and earnestly labored for her
righliu possession Eminent Counsel are engaged
in these cases. and il pleasant TO contrast the quiet
dignity OF the Supreme Court Room, with the more
animated busile of inferior Courts.
The History of Mrs. Gaines, were it unfolded
would be seen TO possess something Of the romantic.
For long time her parentage was concealed from
her. In early life she brought from New Or
leans to the Middle States and for many years living
in the family OF a Col. Davis. near Wilmington Dell
passing under the name of Myra Davis as the nece
or perhaps daughter of this man, who was believed
TO have possessions of some portion Of her property
As her mind un:oded with the growth of her person
Myrn naturally became nquisllive on the subject Of
her lineage, expectations, &c. but obtained little sat
isfacon from her reputsd uncle or father. Davis
however, sent her to the hes, schools that she might
receive finished education, where she learned
French, drawing &c. Arrived at womanhood, with
n sprirh,y mind, a good person, and very frank
aIechonsis and confding disposition, Myra became

THE TARIFF,

1t is very evident that the protecting poll
cy is to be subjected to fiery ordeal before
the adjournment of Congress. thas got to
Withstand the assaults Of its open enemies,
and the treachery of northern locofocoism.
A private letter from Washington, Of the
Oath, says:-" There is a storm brewing
"here against the Tariff. The Calhoun
"men and the Van Burenites are secretly
projecting another Compromise. 1t is a
a" bold game, and must be met" This is
Mr.. Van Buren's last, desperate card. The
Calhoun men are in the market, and the
surrender of protecting tariff is their
price. Van Buren, is ready to yield it, and
the recent reiteration of his nomination by
the locofoco members of Congress, but too
plainly indicates what their course is 10 be.
Our only hope is with tho Senate. We
have small wing majority there, and on
that we rely. A part Of that majority, to
be sure, are Southern men, but they are
wings: and the time has come when protec.
ton has got to depend upon Southern Dhig
votes, or fall by northern Van Burenism.

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH,, ls44.
HISTORY OF FINE WOOL.

The reader will find in another part of our
paper, an interesting letter from Hon. WILL
LIAM JARVIS, giving an authentic account of
the first Introduction of Merino or Saxony
sheep into this country, and other matters of
interest connected Herewith. The impor-
lance of this branch Of our industry is such
as to render every thing connected with its
history, progress, and future prospects,of alb
sorbing interest; and aside from immediate
interest, Mr.. Jarvis has rendered the public
very acceptable service, in thus placing on
record facts for the future historian. To
the sagacious foresight and prompt energetic
action of Mr.. J. are we mainly indebt-
ed for the early introduction of fine-woo!ed
sheep into this country; and of its practical
importance to the productive industry of New
England, and Vermont IN particular, it would
be difficult to form an estimate. We ven
ture the assertion, however, that, to no indi
vidual is the country more indebted, than to
the Hon. William Jarvis. And it is but the
more fitting that this acknowledgement should
be made, inasmuch as he has seemed to claim
no merit on account of it but on the other
hand, has uniformly declined office, and the
highest honors ofthe State, which have thrice
and again been offered him. Only occasion.

HOUSING A ROAD.

II FRASKroRT KY, Feb. PA novel project is
now pending before the Legislature. A company Of
gentlemen in Scott county seeking act of in
corporation empowering them to construct road on
plan so old that we dare say, it will seem to
many of our readers. Ii is the old plan of high
way, graded, and covered by wooden roof. The
corporators do not ask the State to take any portion
OF the stock; and as they are principally farmers
through whose land the road is 10 run, suppose
the Legislature may be inclined TO grant the act
The proposed road is 10 run from Georgetown to
Marion, about five miles. No stone will be used on
the road, the grading it and covering it by roof
will protect it from the influence Of water that it
is supposed it will never become muddy. We remen-
Der a letter of Pres ent Madison in favor of such
roads; but we apprehend the revival of such pro-
ject will arouse the ghost and the Scotch temper Of
McAdam.

"BY AUTHORITY"

The Washington Correspondent of the
New York PlebiaI announces that the
Loco Foco members of Congress held a
meeting at the Capital on "Wednesday last
and decided. 1st-That Martin Van Buren,
was to be their candidate, and I'd, that he
was bound to be elected" They like
wise determined" according to the Pebi-
an, that Henry Clay was never to be Pres
ident of the United States. And this the
Plebian regards as decisive of the contest
1t is natural enough that the Van Buren,
presses, which repose implicit faith in party
machinery and look upon the People as
merely Of use to register the DEGREES of the
caucus, should persuade themselves that the
Presidential contest is decided by this "oili-
cial" announcement Of the Van Buren, lead
ers, that the country must take up with the
" Sage Of Underwood" for another term of
four years. These gentlemen have yet
some lessons to learn about the organization
and working of popular governments. They
seem to be ignorant of the fact that THE
People Of the United States choose their
members of Congress to make laws, reserr-
ing to themselves the right Of making Presi-
dents. This right they will exercise in No

SALT BOILING IN VRGINIA.-1'he Kanawha
Republican has the following notice of the
very remarkable saines OF the Kanawna val
ley:
The gas has sufficient power to forco COL
umn of water three inches in diameter from the
depth of thousand feet to the hight of about
my feet above the surface of the earth. II is
then turned under the furnace ignited, and boils
the water till it is brought to the state for crys-
tallzltion, aud then conveyed to the csterns for
evaporation, generates the steam that passes
thronglsehe clsterns and produces the heat that
carries on the process of evaporation. Thus
800 bushels of salt of the first quality are made
per day, without one particle of other fuel but
the gas. AT these works but one cistern is yet
erected, and they are unable to use only one
half of the water that is forced up. Another
is in progress of erection; when completed all
the water will be used, and 20 or 80 barrels Of
salt manufactured daily, without coal, wood, or
the rays of the sun"
