Tho aa;lish Press anh Gen. Pieroo's

The English Press made various comments on the
election of Gen. Pierce. The London Times says:
'sTRe triumph of Gen. Pierce is essentially a
triumph of free trade. It puts an end tor ever to
the attempt to raise the import duties of the Anne
rcan tariff OF lS46, and it leads to hope that a
new and more enlightened spirit will prevail in the
new Cabinet, in reference to its commercial rel2-
tons with ourselves aud with the colonies OF the
British empite."
The Times, however, says it cannot overlook
what it calls the triumph of the slave over the free
States in the election of Gen. Pierce. In this, ii
say it cannot rejoice, and adds:
-tsFhe new Government will stand, them dan
gerously committed on this ground to the demands
of the slaveholding StateS opposed as they are TO
humanity, to good policy and ito Elaw.sF further,
Gen. Pierce is the candidate of the masses, and lie
represents in the highest degree their spirit then
ambition and then nordinate desire TO increase tie
Influence ofthe United States, not only at home,
but abroad.' rss rY x
The Liverpool Chronicle and the Glasgow Mail
also consider the success of Gen. Pierce q free
trade triumph The Mail, however, after stating
thntit anticipates further efforts to liberalize the
tariff and to extend the commercial relations of thu
United States with Great Britain and other countries
of Europe, says: r

''Should new outbreak like that of 1S4S occur

Mr.. Batenlan, with his family, consisting of his
wife, children and several blacks, left this county

mulated competency, indeed was quite indepen-
dent-for Texas, last spring. Soon after his arrival
nj the pace of destination, sickness seized upon
his family. Some of Lis servants died. He gather
up his family and started back for Kanawha. On
the way, himself wife and five children fell victims
10 cholera and other diseases, and large portion

800, TO bring them 10 this county. and deposited
$500 in Bank there, the remains Of his estate. The
