LATER FROM THE ARMY.

The steamship New York, Capt. Phillips,
arrived last evening from Brazos Santiago via
Galveston. She left the Brazos on the llth,
and Galveston on the 18th inst. She brought
among her passengers Col. Mcintosh and son,
Lieut.. Bibb, Lieut.. Power and Lieut.. Lave.
Twenty discharged soldiers also came over
on her. 1t gives us pleasure to state that
Col. Mcintosh has rec overed in a great meas
u!e from his wounds. He was at the public
table last evening at the St. Charles, as his
numerous friends in Savannah, New-Y ork, ,
and throughout the country will be most hap
Ply to hear.
The brig Empresairo, previously reported
aground on the Brazos bar, has been got off
without any damage, and was to sail for this
port on the 18th inst.
The revenue cutter. Forward was at Calves
ton On the 1lth inst. from Brazos Santiago
She has been ordered to cruise off the coast of
Texas.
The British Sloop-of-war Rose arrived at
Brazos Santiago on the 9th inst. from Tampi-
co, and the U. S. schr. Flirt arrived there on
the 18th from the same port. They confirm
the reports already given Of the St. Mary's
attempt upon the Mexican gunboats, &c.
We derive our news from the army in a
great measure from the Matamoras ReveiIle
of the 9Th inst. The 7th Reg ment of Infan

panles by the way Of the river, on the steamer

! Besides the Aid and Big Hatchie, the Troy
Capt. Wright, had arrived at Matamoras, and
the papers expected a general move before
long. Verbal accounts represent that there
are ten boats at Matamoras, and that the army
is moving as fast as it is possible to despatch
the troops up the river.
The general health of the army is represen,
ted as good, few cases of dysentery and
camp fever alone occurring.

Mr.. McLane is highly appreciated by the ministers

and conciatory course which had been adopted
by the United States minister in this country. He
had long known him, and he had had reason to
respect him in an official capacity some fifteen 81
sixteen years ago. He was certain that ty every

THE WIGS AND A MODIFICATION
OF THE TARIFF.

The United States Gazette and the North
American have each proclaimed that all at
tempts to repeal the Tariff OF 1912 are little
short of Treason; and the course of the last
print has been to show that every Democrat
who advocated its modification would be sure
to be politically ruined. The idea efany Wing
such notions has never entered
into the minds Of our worthy contemporaries
and if it has, it has only been looked upon as
an utter impossibiiity. The Tariff of l842,
according to the N. American, deserves to re-
main as firm as the hills. /: regards it az ali
that is just and fdr-as all that is virtuous
and nnexceptionabe. But it -appears thu:
there are witnesses even on the Wing side
lie ding Wing Representatives and Senators
the fathers of the Wing Church-who ask
ed that this law should be altered, by the next
Congress after its passage, and who denoun-
ced 1t as unjust, unequal, and burdensome in
its operations.
The following stubborn facts strike home.
We take them from authentic records of the
debates prior to the passage Of the Tariff of
1912. They prove the folly Of the course Of
the Wing papers on this subject, and show.
conclusively, that even the Wing leaders new
er expected that the law Of l84s could stand
without being radically altered. Will the N.
American tell us if Democrats are to be hung,
drawn, and quartered, for asking the same
thihgl
Mr.. Fillmore, (Whigl the Chairman Of the
Committee OF Ways and Means, who introdu-
ced it, stated it to be "only revenue meas
ure.''
Mr.. Simmons, one of the strongest friends
Of the protective policy in the Senate, and a
WhfgSenator from Rhode Island, said -
= .s1t was we'll known that he did not agree
with all the friends of the bill, in many parti-
cuars. He admitted it was not the best bill
that could be formed, but he believed it would
now be allowed that it was the only measure
which at this late period of the session would
be likely to accomplish the main object Of
providing revenue. In his opinion, there was
not time within the few days which Congress
had yet to remain in session, to adjust the tar
if' in such .asnaanuer as to give the greatest
possible satisfaction to the several interests
concerned"
Mr.. Evans, Senator from Maine, said the
"bill was already sufficiently onerous on the
shipping interest of the country. Already eve
cry article that enters into the consumption of
| ship builders is heavily taxed" he did
not think for the sake Of some four or Ave
manufacturers, that the whole of the shipping
interest ought to be sacrificed"

Mosr MELANCHOLY AFFAIR. We regret to
learn from last Tuesdays Fayetteville Observer,
that most unfortunate and fatal rencontree took
place at Bishops Muster Ground, in Cumberland
county, On Saturday last, between r. F. Atkins
and Archibald McDarmid, Esquires, which termi
mated in the almost instantaneous death of the lat
ter gentleman. Mr.. Atkins was the Independent
democratic candidate for seat in the House of
Commons, and in addressing the people took
ground against the regular nominees of a conven-
ton of that party. The nomination was warmly
sustained by Mr. McD.. and difficulties had sprung
up between them, gradually thickening ast the can
vass progressed, until the fatal termination above
stated. Mr.. McDarmid received pistol wound
In the right breast. Mr.. Atkins Immediately sur.
rendered himself to the officers Of Justice, and an
examination will take place this day."
sour acquaintance" continues the Observer
with the parties was but sight, but if we NAV
judge from the warmth of friendship which each
has inspired among the best people in the county
they were deserving of that deep sympathy which
the unfortunate occurrence has produced, as vel
for themselves as for the very extensive family
connection ofeach."
