ROWLAND Hill The eccentric Rowland
Hill, among the numerous religious notices
which it was his custom to read every Sabbath
after service, once delivered the following:
"a humble partaker in Christ desires to
know why Brother Hill finds it necessary to
ride 10 church ina sumptuous carriage when
his Divine Master never rode anywhere, except
on an ass.''
Upon which pious enquiry "Brothor Hill p
showing up his spectacles on his forehead,
and with an air Of great humility, thus COM
mented.

gainst which our two 10 Founders were for a
time directed. Convincing evidences of tie
skill with which our srtllerywas used against
them are still perceptible upon that part Of the
field for although they were permitted to bury
their dead, and afterwards returned in numbers
ana spent considerable time in that employ
ment, l counted some thirty dead bodies,
stretched out as they fell, in that immediate Vi
entity.
Some had been nearly severed in two by
cannon balls; Others had lost a part Of the
head, both legs, a shoulder, or the whole sto-
mach. OF many Of them nothing but the
bones, encased in uniform, was left; whilst
Others had been transformed into mummies,
and retained the expression Of countcnance
which their death ugonies had stamped upon
them. One man who had been shot between
the hips with alarge ball lay doubled up as he
fell, with his hands extended, and his face
downward between his knees. Another,
whose shoulders and back were shot away.
seemed to have died in the act Of u%ttering 0
cry OF horror. Dead horses were scattered
about in every direction, and the buzzards and
wild dogs were fatlep ng upon the carrion.

Direct Taxation and a Reduction OF
the Tariff.

the Tariff
In an article in regard to the best mode of
raising "the sinews Of war;" the NeW York
Morning Neus, recommends direct taxation in
conjunction with a reduction Of the duties i'm
posed by the'present Tariff, In regard to tax
alton the writer says:
HSide by side with augmentations Of troops,
we should have acquisitions of taxes. The
patriotism Of the people, and the temper which
has been aroused in 4hem by these recent
events, will very well stand a severer test than
this. The existing machinery Of state and
county collectors, can be easily brought into
play, TO collect the amounts that may be called
for by the government, without creating any
new swarm Of federal officers. Halt thus col
llected and half by loan, with a temporary use
Of Treasury notes, during the process Of col.
lection, would constitute the best system Of
finance for the energetic and successful prose-
%cution Of the war. We hope the administra-
ton will not feel afraid to venture upon it, from
fear Of the supposed unpopularity of direct
taxation. We think it may rely on a cordial
support from the whole country, in response to
a proper appeal to the patriotic l~iberplity Of the
now aroused national hearth
We agree with the Mepsi in the closing SEN
tence of the quotation. The Government may
rely upon the people in the present emergency
But we much mistake the sentiment of the
country, if it viii sanction a direct tax when
the present Tariff, if let alone, is adequate to
raise the necessary funds to carry on the war
The people will do everything necessary to de,
fend the rights and honor of the country, but
we think they will not submit to direct taxa
ton and the destruction of the manufacturing
interests of the country at the same time.
We regret to see an obstinate determination
on the part Of the enemies Of the Tariff tc
force its repeal through Congress at all haz
ards. They seem not to pay the least regart
to the consequences Of the measure, but urg,
it on with much more zeal than knowledge
Rather than to faibin breaking down protcc
ton, they are willing to increase the burdent
Of the people by direct taxation fol nationa
purposes.
We most sincerely hope that the enemies 0
the Tariff will be thNarted in their efforts Il
bring ruin upon al the interests Of the coun
| try. The Tariff of 1912 is working most ad
mirably. 1t will, we believe, raise all the re
r venue needed by the Government, unless tn
expenses Of the wal should be very large
; And in that case, the revenue derived from
would in a few years pay of the debtincurret
The friends of protection must be constant
y on the watch, and not relax a>nerve in de
d fence Of their %favorite system.-Iron City.

the late funeral of Commodore Renshaw, the
carriage Of our Hon. LanguisAing Secretary
Bancroft appeared in the procession with three

excited universal indignation. We were not

INDIANS IN TExAs.-The New Orleans Cou-
rierpublishes the following extracts Of a letter
received, it says, from a person worthy of con-
fdence in San Antonio, Texas:
"The Indians are committing depredations
in this neighborhood. Last evening they pur-
sued an American about one mile from this
place-but he was mounted on a good horse
and escaped safely into town. To-day Capt,
Hays's company has gone in pursuit oft.e In
dians, with another company.
Five orsix days ago, about forty miles from
this place, the savnges attacked four Ameri-
cans, killed two and scalped the others, leaving
then on the ground. The two who were seal
ped arrived here the day before yesterday with
out clothes, in a miserable conditiona
Col. Harvey has given notice to the Mexi
cans here who refuse to make common cause
with the Americans, to depart in three days.

Ihave the pleasure to inform you that the
Oregon Question has been setled-lhe United
States Senate having just advised the aecep-
lance Of the proposition made BY the British
Minister, with only seven votes against the
resolution to that effect. A gentleman who is
on the most intimate terms with MIR. Buchan-
an, says, that the British Government offers the
United States the use of any ports on the
southern part Of Yancoovers Island, so long as
the navigation Of the Columbia is granted to The
Hudson's Bay Company. This is one of tbs
equivalents for the temporary navigation Of the
Columbia.

hard fought battle:
ThePalo Alto battle field, on this side, near

quite level, and a most magnificent place for
the meeting Of two armies. The position d
the Mexican lines was pointed out to me, and
we rode over a part Of the field where the bat.
tie had ragged the hottest. They are represent.
