The failure Of The great house of Prime,
Ward &Co'-hitherto considered the strong
est house on this continent dealing in exchauge
o. Europe-is only Que among the many evil
dences Of the superiority Of domestic over
a foreign market for the produce OF the coun-
try The trial Of foreign market for the last
year has been under the most propitious cir
cumstances that could be conceived for the
argument Of free trade that is, an unparall-
cleo supply at home. Yet after all, how much
has the country gained, in real and subsian-
tial property, BY the course oftrade. To say
nothing of the very large number of cargoes
that have been lost by shipwreck, and the
larger number demage1 during the transit
which is SO much actual loss TO the country
whether sustained by the insurance Offices or
by The shippers-we have a still heavier loss
by deprecated prices and the return of pro-
tested bills. or course we have no data by
" hich to calculate the actnal amount of these
losses, Tor 1.-The end is not VET" although we
think we can see the beginning, oft.
But let US look at the nome market. Here
Massachusetts has been purchasing, millions
of dollars worth of hreadstpffs. and paving
for them at the tip top prices, either in cash.
in domestic fabrics, in boots and shoes, ir
Goldfish and other articles Of real value, OF her
own produce or manufacture. Scarcely a
dollars worth has been lost during the transit
and not dollar worth in protested bills
All the breadsluffs that Massachusetts wanted
have been bought and paid for, aud the pro-
ceeds, in one shape or another, have gone into
the pockets of the producers, and both parties
havemade an actual accumulation Of property
by the operation The whole profit on the
labor of producing the breadstuffs, and the
manufactured goods which paid for them, has
been kept within the country. But Of the
breadsiuffs sent abroad some have been lost
BY the 'perils Of The deep some have been
lost BY The failure of foreign houses TO meet
their drafts, while others have been paid for
by manufactured goods, the profit on which
has been made abroad. and in almost direct
competition with the labor OF our own country
The only good feature in all this extraordna-
ry export Of bresdstuffs, is the rather liberal
quantity Of specie which has returned 10 US
as a balance trade; and even this, through the
fatuity of our position, has been more than
absorbed in paying the expenses Of the war
with Mexico.
Can any one look at the facts, and then say
that home market is not The best Of all mar
kets for the prodoce Of the country! and that
the true policy of the country is not to foster
this home market, by encouraging manufac-
lures until they shall be fully adequate to the
wants OF the cnuntry1

TIE RAIL RoAD.-We learn that the
Contractors on the Connecticut and PassuDp-
sic Rivers Railioad are now al work Oh every
section between White River and Wells River,
and that good degree of progress has been
made at several important points. Efforts are
beng made TO place in all The foundations for
bridges the present autumn, that the work
may not be retarded another spring by the rise
Of wafer. Meantime the work Of grading is
making steady progress. and before the seItlng
in winter several Of The easy sections Will be
nearly or qniIe completed.
The amount OF rock cutting has been iound
much less than was anticipated, and as this
work need not TO be interrupted during the
winter, we look forward TO The next rnid-sum-
mer as the time for laying the rails upon a
good portion of the first forty miles Of Duh
| Railroad.
We understand that more than 500, 00C
new stock has been taken in Boston recently,
and that over Sl50,000 more has been added
since the letting of The couirac's in May.
The utmost confidence is felt-and we think
Justly so-that the investment will prove Z
profitable one both in the dividends and rise Of

the loss is reported 240 in killed and woun-
ded. Pierce's brigade, under my COM
mand in this action, lost a considerable
number in killed and wounded; Among
the latter was the gallant Col. Morgan, of
the 18th. His command having rejoined
its division Immediately after the action,
l have as yet received no official report of
its loss. A particular and detailed report
of the loss, as also of the prisoners cap
tured by this command, accompanies this
report.
In this last engagement my command
captured $50 prisoners, including 60 Off
GERS; of this number AZ had deserted
from the American army during the war,
and at their head was found the notorious
O,Reilley, who had fought against the

closing this report beg to offer my thanks
to the many gallant officers of my COM
mand for their gallant and fearless sup
port during the conflict. To Col. Burnett
and Lieut.. Col of the New York volun-
teers, to Lieut.. Col Dickinson and Major
GLADDEN. of the South Carolina volunteers,
as also many of their gallant subordinates,
every praise is due.
/ Col. Burnett was severely wounded al
the head OF his regiment, and Lieut.. Col
Dickinson also severely wounded while
in the command of his regiment, and bear
ing gallantly forward the colors of his
corps. My thanks are due to the medi
cal staff of the commands, Drs. Halsteac
and M'Kebbin Of the New York regiment
and Drs. Clark and Bland of the Souti
Carolina regiment, as also to DR.. Swift
U. s. A., for their attention TO the wound
ed.
While thus enjoying the pleasure of be
slowing commentator upon the living,
turn with feelings of sorrow, though witt
pride, to recollect the gallant dead, Its
Adams and Williams of the South Carroll
ma regiments, and Lieut. Chandler of the
New York regiment, are of these gallant
dead. By yielding their lives to achieve
this glorious victory, they have won the
soldiers fame with the soldiers death
The noble and gallant colonel of the
South Carolina regiment had risen from
his sick bed to share the hardships of the
field and the dangers of the combat with
his devoted regiment; he survived the
conflict of the morning to lead his COM
mand victory again awaited it; although
wounded himself, and having his horse
shot under him, he still continued to press
onward near the colors of his regiment,
until the fatal ball terminated his life.
The gallant soldier in his youth has won,
in his death upon the field Of battle, fame
for himself and his regiment, and added
another name 10 the roll of Cardinals de-
