Beported EEoilafcIde.

A report reached US few days since OF
the death ola wagner on the National
road, by the hands of negro, on the 9Th
instant. We give the particulars as they
were detailed to us, without, however,
vouching for their accuracy.
On the day mentioned negro passed
a public house, situate some IL or II
miles west of Smythfeld, and was fol-
lowed by the tavcrn-keeper, overtaken and
brought back, upon presumption that he
was runaway. The tavern-keeper then
went TO field 10 bring in horse, and
while he was gone the negro, supposing he
was to be taken to some place Of con6ne-
ment, took TO his heels and made for the
woods, followed by q WAGNER, who hap
pened 70 be staying a ,he house. After
chase OF some 400 or 500 yards, the ne
gro was overtaken, whereupon he drew
knife and gave battle TO his pursuer.-
a scufTle ensued, in which the WAGNER
received three wounds with the knife; one
in the hand, another in the arm, and third
in the breast, the last Of which proved IA
tai. He died on the spot where the rem
counter took place. Our informant dldnot
know the names Of either the tavern-keep-
er or the wagner, nor had he understood
that the negro had been arrested, but sup
posed he had been suffered to escape.

A RaftHc af Tanpico.

An officer of the U. S. ship ST. MARY's,
writes to his friend in Norfolk, under date
OF the 18th June. The vessel was then
lying off Tampico, and he states that on
the 9Th they discovered the enemy erect
ing another fort on the north side of the
river. The vessel Immediately stood in,
and when approaching the fort, was fired
upon by three gun-boats. A few shot
were exchanged, and then the vessel haul
ed of but returned again in the afternoon
and fred 20 shells and % round solid shot.
The enemy returned The fire with an IS
FOUNDER, but without effect. A sand bar.
however. prevented the vessel from enter
ing the river at this time, but in the night
a second effort was made, and then her
guns were brought to bear upon the boats
and the fort by which they were protected.
Several Paixhan shells we're thrown into
the fort, which silenced it, their boats
however, kept up their fire for some time
without effect. The writer says: "The
bar intervening between us and the lortand
the gun boats, rendered il impossible for us
10 choose our distance; we were therefore
reluctantly compelled to engage them at
long shot. Discovering that we did not
do the execution which we desired, the
Captain thought that this child's play
caused a useless waste Of powder and ball,
and therefore gave orders at 8, A. NJ. to
cease firing; when we weighed the stream
and kedge and stood out to our old anchor
age" He adds: "Could we have sue
ceeded in entering the river, believe that
even with our small force, we would have
captured the gun boats and silenced the
fort by turning their guns upon It"

The Tariff BiIl I'm the Senate.

Quite Unexpectedly, in the present
stage of the business. the New Tariff
Bill became yesterday, on its first oppear-
ance in the Senate, the subject of very
animated debate. The question which
gave rise to the debate was q motion TO
dispense with the reference ofthe bill to
the Standing Committee of the Senate
upon WAYS and Means, and to make
il the Order ofthe Day, without that hith-
erto inyariahle previous examination, for
Monday next. This motion prevailed by
a majority of two votes.
The number of Members voting was
forty-six, ten Members being absent, or
having paired of with actual absentees.
OF the ten not present, or not voting, SIX
are believed TO be favorable to the protect
i've principle, and four TO be opposed TO it.
All the Senators being present, therefore,
if this impression be correct, the Senate
will be equally divided upon the principle
Of the bill.
Though the whole debate was interest
ing enough, the incident of the Speech by
Mr.. NILES, who has shown new vigor
since his recovery from his late illness,
produced perhaps more sensation than
any other. He spoke, we understand, III
favor Of the reference to the Standing
Committee. That course, he sald,was dueto
the importance of the subject, to the Senate
and to the country. The bill, he said
must undergo strict examination; and
if not materially amended, both in lis
principle and lis items, 1t could not have
his vote. He stood ready to vote agalns
il, should proper amendment be refused
and would take his own course, independ-
emily of party drill. The great interest oI
the country involved in this bill had been
football TOO long. He was for the
change Of no principle of existing laws on
the subject. He wanted, he sail, nc
new expefiments-no tariff bill of theo-
ries.-Nat. Intel.

THE VT AR.
letter From EEatanloras.

With regard to the war and its results
thus far we give the following sad picture
from one of the correspondents of the \.
0. Picayune:
The hospitals containing the wound
ed Mexicans, whom Arista left without
the least means Of support, present scenes
Of distress that can scarcely be described.
Capt. McCanet politely conducted me
through several large buildings that are
filed with these wretched creatures, now
left to the charity Of our army. The first
man | saw was halfbreed Mexican, a.
bout 40 years old, with pleasing, good
humored countenance, walking about
with both arms shot off, half way be-
tween the shoulder and elbow. His
cheerful countenance and civil deport-
ment won upon cur feelings, and We
two or three young officers were along
contributed sufficient to ensure the poor
fellow comforts for a week, No soonel
did the wrctches around perceive these
marks Of compassion than most OF them
held out their hands for alms-some
pointing at their stumps of arms and legs
and others, who did not seem 10 suffer
much, were making wry faces, expressive
ofmose pain than they could possibly en-
dure--the rascals laughed as soon as our
backs were turned. We visited between
one aud two hundred Of the wounded, and
found them in every possible condition.
Two Of the number were drawing their
last breath, being unconscious OF pain and
reduced to mere skeletons. Others, say
twenty of those we saw, were past all
hope, modification in its worst and most
disgusting forms, having taken place.
These fellows were lying there, perfectly
conscious of their fate, waiting without q
murmur the hour of their dissolution
One man, who had lost leg and was ev-
identity suffering severely, was attended
by lttle girl about four years Old
When we approached them the little
creature was lying upon an old cloak.
with her head resting upon as plump and
pretty little hand as ever graced an an
gel. She was sleeping; her sweet. dim
pied countenance, so innocent and lovely,
contrasting strangely with that of the
fierce looking, dying father. Another
man, whose leg was also gone, was at
tended by his daughter, lovely Mexican
girl of sixteen. | passed him several
times. and always saw the beautiful crea-
ture by his side; like true woman, do
ing all in her power to assuage his pain,
and with cross in her hand (which she
would present now and then to his lips)
appeared to be directing his thoughts tc
another world. Most of the badly woun-
ded had the cross and picture OF the vir-
gin by their side, and many were attended
by their wives and daughters"

The war between the United States

England. In compllmenting the de-
spatches of Gen. TAYLOR, the London
Times Q. he 18th June says:
:" He writes like man Of sense, skill
and courage: and we have not the slight
est wish TO dctractlrom The hoaors he has
gallantly earned under the flag OF his
country. Whatever opinion we may
entertain Of the causes OF this war, and
the political motives in which it originated
the behavior of the American General
and his troops deserves 10 be judged of
by much higher s:andad than the policy
of the Government which it is their duty
TO serve. The couduct of the Mexican
army, on the contrary, demonstrates the
utter inability Of that Government to
protect any portion Of its dominions from
invasion, and it degrades the descendants
Of the Spanish Americans still lower IN
the rank Of nations"
