A Hero.--A man named William Pittman

A ffer0.--A man named william Plttman,
was arrested yesterday in the lower part of the
county, for ouerdoing the Common Law at pre-
sent in force in this State, which authorizes the
moderate fogging of ones wife. 1t seems
that the courageous Benedict aforesaid, in a
state of perfect sobriety, with malice prepense,
and regardless of the saving clause in the law,
in such cases mrde and provided, did admins
ter the lash in most i,nmoderate and unmer-
ciful manner. After the connubial cowhiding
had progressed till llocomotion was next to i'm
possible, the delectable husband took his rife
and presented it ready "cocked and primed,"
at his spouse, accompanying the action with
the invitation to "cut out" Immediately, or take
in charge the contents. The lady chose the
former alternative, proceeded to a magistrate,
made affidavit to the facts as above detailed,
and her lord and master, in the absence of bond
and security, we presume, will shortly leave
for Apalachicola, where bolts and bars will
promote his wife's safety and his own safe
keeping.-Marianna (Fla) Wing.

Ex-senator Douglas, learning that the last
number of the Democratic Review would con-
tain an article adverse to Gen. Butler, sent by
telegraph request that it might not be pub

Gen. Scott and the Compromises find
in the New York Express, of the 25th March
the following republication of the report of the
remarks made by Gen. Scott at the great Union
Meeting, held in Castle Garden, on the 25th of
February, 1850:
FeIIoD Citizens: came here this evening
not expecting to do more than take nv stand
in corner of the room, for the purpose of lis
tenng to the proceedings of this very interest.
ing and important meeting. | had no expecta-
ton of havirg the honor to be called upon this
stand. l am indebted to the kindness of a
friend, who discovered me below, for having
the honor to appear in such conspicuous
manner before you Little did I expect to be
called upon to address this great and glorious
meeting, which is worthy of the Empire City,
worthy Of the Empire State, and worthy of the
Union which you came here to support. (Great
applause.) | see before me the intelligence,
the wealth, the patriotism of this great city,
voluntarily coming here for the purpose Of sup
porting that Union. am an humble friend
and devoted servant of that same Union.
do not call myself a citizen of the East or of
the North, of the West or of the South.
have served that Union for nearly forty-two
years, and feel that am citizen of every part
and parcel of this glorious constellation of
States. AS friend of the Union, and know
ing that the Union is in jeopardy, and know
ing that this meeting was called for the purpose
of deyising measures for compromise and con-
ciation, am here. Many thanks for the kind
ness you have shown me.
am not an abolitonist nor an advocate of
slavery. | would not have come here if had
thought these subjects would have initiated
with each other at this meeting. did not come
as Wing or as Democrat. I have not at
tended a party meeting for upwards of forty
years; but when the cry is that the Union is in
danger, and reilly is called for the support of
the Union, would be a coward, and recreant
to my country, if did not respond to the call.
mean to give my little strength in support of
the Union, and God willing, will do SO. am
not strong man; but | have little strength
left, and | trust shall be buried under the
Union. God grant that you may devise or
fall upon some plan TO save that Union to which
we are, in heart and soul, all so much devoted.
The gallant General resumed his seat amid
the most enthusiastic and prolonged applause.
The meeting shortly after adjourned, giving
three cheers for Gen. Scott and the Union.
In reference to the above, the Bulletin very
properly observes: "If such are Gen. Scott's
views no,c-and we have no reason to believe
but that they are-we can see no good argu-
ment why he should not unequivocally embody
them in letter, and publish it. The favor
which the New York Tribune, and other Free
soil papers, regard him, has engendered dis
trust in the south-slight though it may be,
but still distrust-whch ten lines from him
would entirely dispel We trust the old hero
will not remain silent much longer"

TThe Petersburg lntelIigencer says, that
"Phenumonia has for several months prevailed
in Petersburg, and, as far as We can learn
throughout the country, to an unprecedented
extent, and with malignity and fatality un.
known to our oldest inhabitants. 1t has visited
us in the form of an epidemic, and its ravages
have been dreadful. We do not believe that
the Cholera, when it was amongst US swept
away as many victims as the terrible malady of
which we are speaking, has DONE"

mini.h. and not to increase trade with other
nations than England; and, consequently
that the true mode Of examining the WORKING
ofthe new system was to take the export OF
food to England alone, which ne has care
fully avoided doing. He knew that by
adopting that course, 1t would DC saowa
that the export of food to England had de-
clined from year to year, until 1t had
reached in the last year the pitiful amount
Of eight millions of dollars and he further
knew that by extending his examination
into the current year, there would be found
a further decline, as is here shown:

And that the difference was not ffiy-nlne
but forty millions of dollars. He should
have known, too, that from the date at
which the effect Of the famine had passed
away, the export of food had fallen, as is
above shown, 6elor the point al whlci "a
stood IN lSi5-i6, prior TO the repeal of the
Corn Laws; and further, he should have
known that had he included the last fiscal
year, phieh he las carefully excluded, the
export would have fallen to the average of
the three years Of the tariff Of ls42 above
given, and far below the amount of
lS45- 46. Ii he did know these things, he
