As most of our readers are aware,
This order is "secret association, y

and in cases of sickness, or death, a.
mong the members, they are entitled

We must be permitted to say, vi h
all due Difference for the opinions of
those who condemn "secret societies"
in general, and temperance societies in
particular, that, with the ligh: which
we have upon the subject, We believe
this to be a most excellent, institution,
and worthy the patronage ofan in'elli-
gent and philanthropic community

come member. Tie pledge requires

"TAe Treasury Of History" No. 4,

"The Treasury Of History" No. 4,
has been received. We might repeat,
relative to this No. what we have said
Of its predecessors. The history Of
England is con tinued, from No. 3, in
chapters of convenient size. We
cannot better give an idea of the char
acter of this work, than by adopting
the following language ofihe "Brittan-
MIA" -"An Encyclopedia of History in
Miniature, hundreds of volumes
compressed INTO one. The author first
gives a general sketch of ancient and
modern history-a sort of explanatory
char. by which we perceive the rela
lions of one state and empire to ano-
Their, and mark how their boundaries
advance or recede, fuctuate, or become
defined, and then furnishes a neat and
concise digest of the history of each
kingdom or dominion of the world. "

THE TARIFF BILL PASSED.

The House ofRepresentatives agreed
to the amendments adopted by the Sc
nate, on the 29th ult., and is therefore
the law oflhe land. We will lay the
bill before our readers next week.
Oar opponents call il the "Bri:ish
Tariff. And why, Because, under
its operations, few articles manufac-
tured by Great Britain can be imported
into this country upon more favorable
terms to The imported, and which the
consumer here can purchase a little
cheaper than before. Who is injured
BY this operations Certainly not the
people-certainIy rot the agrieultu-
yists; for it has been demonstrated be-
yond controversy that they are not fur
nished by the manufacturer with a
"home market" because the manufac !.
turing States themselves export large
amount ofthe products Of their SOIL
certainly the laborers are moi injured b,
the new tariff, for it is to their advan-
tage to get the necessary articles for
their families as cheap as possible
certainly not the mechanic, for the
same reason. Yes, but, say our oppo-
nents, the manufacturer is ruined by
the Democratic tariff has profits will
be so much reduced by it, that he will
be compelled to suspend operations
he will no longer be enabled to buy the
wheat, rye, corn, oats, and other pro
ducts of the farmer, to feed has steam
engines and po,cer looms Nth! Dread
ful calamity! Terrible fate! But. the
whole secret lies here: The ne,D tariff
bWretuses to Ievy a tao upon the ma
tion to sustain tew manufacturers,
anu tlIdts t'o, az dIIct 'uCIl Own iHtCi-
ests-it refuses to legislate for the ben
eft Of one particular branch of ''bome
industry" at the expense of all others.
This is the plain, practical question:
the true issue between the Wing and
Democratic parties, ~ between few
manufacturers on the one hand and the
mass Of the people on the other.
In another part Of to-day's paper the
reader viii find an article, which is CO.
pied from the Union, comparing the
tariff of'42 with the bill just passed.
By examining the list Of articles there
compared, it will be seen that the new
bill taxes those classes highest who
are most able to bear it-that luxurieS
are taxed higher than they were IN AZ,
while the duties on necessaries are re-
dnced TO he revenue standard. These
are plain facts, and easily TO be COM
pretended by all.

LOSS OF THE SPANISH STEA-
MER GENlI-FOURTEEN
LIVES LOST.

This elegant steamer, built in New
York last year and sent to Havana,
has, we regret to learn, been DESTROYED
by an explosion of her boiler. The
following translation from Havana
paper of the 9th of July, gives the par
ticulars of the accident, which occur
red on the Ord inst, about 7 o'clock in
the morning, near Cavo Blanco, the
steamer being on her way from Cuba
to Havana:
The first indication of trouble, was
defamation in the engine, meaning
perhaps the boiler, and soon an explo-
sion, which shattered the vessel very
much, killing the lst engineer, Mr..
Wood, thee Bird engineer, Joaquin
Percyra, two deck passengers named
Ramon Lenas and Bartolome Mestres,
seven slaves employed about the en-
CINE, and waiter named Geronimo.--
Sentinel of the valley. [volume] (Woodstock, Va) 1841-1848, 1846-08-06

The captain, Ramon Moncada, who
was in his berth at the time, imnedi-
ately ran towards the engine, and in SO
doing, was struck down in an instant
by the carbonic acid discharged from
the boiler.
The steam that escaped from the
pipes and boilers, was deadly poson to
every one that approached it. To
complete the horror Of the scene, de-
vouring fire was reducing the vessel to
ashes, when to the great joy of the
survivors, the .schr. Merceden, per.
ceiving their situation, bore up and
succeeded in getting them all on board.
Twelve of them were severely wound.
ed, including Captain Moncada, whol
died three hours afterwards, as did al
so the seaman, Jose Binet, max ing IL
deaths in all, which number may have
been afterwards increased from among
the wounded.
The Engineer, Mr.. Wood, was a
Scotchman, and formerly employed at
the West Point Foundry. The engi-
neers at the foundry say, the explosion
has no doubt arises from the water get
ting below the surface of the Hue.

Taring Clergymens' Salaries.-A
case was tried IN Virginia, to impose
the fine on clergyman, for refusing to
declare the amount of his salary. 1t
was contended that it was tax on re-
ligion, tina, the salary was uncertain,
and could not be rea, onably laid,
and therefore could not be taxed. -
The Court held that the salaries OF
clergymen are liable to be taxed like
other sources of income, and gave judg-
ment for the fine.

Cholera. This terrible disease has
made its appearance in Persia and
parts of the Russian doninions. Ii
would be we'll for our own country to
take precautionary measures to prevent
its ravages, should it reach our shores,
as it did few years since, by cleansing
and whitewashing their houses, and
especially their cellars. 1t is easily
conveyed from one continent to anoth-
er by vessels. But if the cholera should
no, reach US, little precau,ion will do
no harm.
