ARMY IN TExAs.--All the accounts we have re-
ceived of the condition of the army under General
Taylor, (and some Of those accounts are derived
from individuals who are good judges in such mat-
ters in stating that 1t is Of the finest and
most efficient for its numbers that ever was assem-
blcd-cavary, artillery, infantry, all are described
as being excellent and difficult to surpass. The
drill and maneuvres are frequent and vigorously
Jpunctual; and, being il on the frontier Of an
enemy's country, the order and discipline of the
camp are rigidly adhered to. We have been inform
ed that the maneuvres by brigade are grand, and
executed with great precision Each regiment tries
to excel all the others; and il has become difficult to
distinguish difference in excellence among them all.
Our own volunteers, under Major Gally and Capt.
Forno were not behind the rest Of the army in the
discharge Of their duties. Their practice infan-
try and at the great guns was much admired.

Before the passage of the tariff &c: of 1912, all
which it was imported was admitted duty free. By
the present act all under seven cents is taxed with
a duty of per cent. Thus it appears, from the
table above, that, during the four years and nine
months ending June 80, 1874, the manufacturers
imported into this country very near FIFTY
THREE MILLIONS Of pounds Of wool, all Of il
costing less than eight cents per pound, and good
share of it less than seven cents, for which they
paid in gross the sum Of $3.50, ITS. And, during
the same time, they imported only 1885,, 42S
pounds costing S62O,799, Of the descriptions OF
wool paying the highest duty.
The cheap woods imported into this country are
brought mainly from the Argentine republic in South
America. They are not all coarse, as their price
would imply; but many of them equal the !, J, and
even blood merino grades raised in this country
They cost but little where they are obtained for two
reasons: first, because they are full of dirt; and
secondly, because The manufacturers Of his country,

manufacturers to purchase in New England their
son informed me that he purchased a large num-
Der of merno bucks, for the manufacturers at Low
ELL to be sent 10 South .4merica cross ,oh the naipt
sheep.
| Remarkable as it may seem, | find this nforma-
ton sustained by the tables Of commerce and navi
cation. In 1887, find that 800 sheep, costing
$4,000, or $50 per head were exported to the Argen
tine republic, from which country the greatest quaint
ty of the cheap woods is imported And in 1893, find
that sOl sheep, costing $4,565, nearly &c pei
head, were exported to the same country. The
prices Of the sheep indicate the kind which are ex

ment, at the manufacturers of this country oon lmg

The answer is, because those kinds of wool are a

gain nothing by importing them.

The interests of the manufacturer and Of the pro-
Queer Of the raw material adverse to each other.
The manufacturer, who is the first consumer, or
rather purchaser Of the raw material, is interested
in obtaining it at as low aprice as possible; while
the producer strives TO get higher price This
brings about direct collision of interest between
them, however much the one may profess to be
friendly to the interests of the other.
The manufacturer Of wool is interested in getting
the raw article at as cheap rate as possible; and
the same of the cotton manufacturer. But while
they have been striving for protection for them
selves, they have pretended to he in favor OF

peared melancholy, and somewhat deranged. He
went to his room, but did not retire-persons lodg

room from the time he entered until the hour above
named. He then appears to have deliberately Ia

from Gen. Gaines, accepting his resignation as one
He had also a sword, presented to his father by the
legislature Of New York for honorable service in

some baggage. He was aged about IS years"
We were much gratfed to see that the attention
paid to Capt. Reed, whose demise We noticed yes
terday by our citizens, worthy of their charac-

done by the liberal proprietors Of the United States
Hotel in respect to his memory that could be done;
and his remains were followed to the grave by a
large number Of citizens, among whom the melan-
choly incident caused deep sensation.

On Tuesday last appropriate resolutions were IN
troduced into the House Of Representatives for the
purpose of giving expression to the high estimate
placed by the people Of Tennessee upon the ebarac,
ter Of General Jackson and General Carroll both Of
whom have died in State since the last session
of the legislature The whole country will approve
the spirit and tone Of the proceedings on this sub
ect; they are just such as the ilustrieus services
rendered by these departed heroes and statesmen
rendered entirely proper. The resolutions in refer
ence to General Carroll were unanimously adopted;
those in reference to General Jackson were LAID on
the table, in consequence of some difference Of opn-
ion as TO The best mode of raising the means for the
erection of the proposed monument. No opposition
was manifested, and, we presume, never will be
manifested, to the proposition.

Mr.. Allen presented resolutions directory TO the
committee on federal relations as follows:
Whereas, believing patriotic portion of our fell
ow-citizens have been too long neglected, and the
government too lardy in the dispensation Of its
favors upon them; and being deeply sensible OF
the weighty and lasting obligations we are under to
those who dedicated their services to the defence OF
their country in the hour of danger the patriot can
not be insensbe of the debt Of gratitude that is due
them They heroicaly fought the battles OF free
dom, and defended their country with more than
Spartan intrepdty and fearlessncss. The hardships
through which they had to pass, and the various
privations they had to endure, consPrc emnently
to destroy the strongest constitutions. IL Is not,
therefore, be wondered at, that portion OF the
surviving soldiers Of the late war are aged and in
firm, and utterly unable to support themselves by
their own exertions. Be il therefore
Resolved, That they command, and ever should
command, the respect and veneration of those to
whom they have transmitted, unimpaired, the rich
legacy of freedom; and their memories will be EN-
balmed in the glowing eulogium of the orator. and
the song Of the poet for ages to come.
Resolved, That a testimonial of the estimation
in which they are held, and as debt due to them,
the committee federal relations be instructed to in
qure into the propriety of memorializing the Con-
gross Of the United States in their behalf, praying
that pensions or annuities be allowed TO such sol
diers who fought through the late war, who are in
INDECENT circumstances, and unable to labor for q
support; and that they report by memorial or other
wise. Read and laid on the table.
