A letter dated Calcutta, October 8, gives the
following thrilling account of the relief of the
besieged at Lucknow:
1 give you the following account of the relief
of Lucknow, as described by lady, one of the
rescued party On every side, death stared us
in the face; no human skill could avert it any
longer. We saw the moment approach when
We must bid farewell to earth, yet without feel.
ing that unutterable horror which must have
been experienced by the unhappy victims at
Cawnpore. We we're resolved rather to die
than to yield, and we're fully persuaded that in
twenty-four hours all would be over. The en-
gipeers had said 80, and all knew the worst.
We women strove to encourage each other, and
to perform the light duties which had been as
signed to MS, such as conveying orders to the
batteries, and supplying the men with provis-
ions, especially cups of coffee, which we pre-
pared day and night. I had gone out to try
and make myself useful, in company with Jes-
sic Brown, the wife of corporal in my hus-
bands regiment. Poor Jessie had been in q
state of restless excitement all through the

Suppose that we have las may be true) Is or 20
per cent. advantege-real, natural advantage

folly in raising the price of labor by blowing
wind into our currency-in the production Of
iron; we have 80 to so per cent. advantage in
producing wheat. Our great and peculiar adapt
alton to 1t will be seen in the fact, that erten.

should ever be regarded, since by following
ner lead, only, can the greatest production be
secured has imposed tariff in favor of our
AGRICULTURAL interest of from one TO FIVE hundred
aoiars per acre, which is the price of such
iano. In Europe, as can here be obtained for
notning. Another reason for ous want of sue.
cess Is found In the currency Of The country,
whicn alternately expands and contracts, but
ever initiates the price of labor, while its runous
revulsions destroy nearly all manufacturers
who take the risks of business credit-and who
does not? These reasons seem to us to account
TOR our inability to compete, with full success,
with other nations, even in our own markets.
we can see no other reasons. The ingenuity
OF our people is proverbial, our natural resour-
Gee are abundant. These require no greater
OUTLAWS OF capital than other branches of pro-
aucuon which are successful the common
labor requires no long and diff calf apprentice
ship; yet the history of certain branches of the
manufacturing interest has been record of
disappointment and failure. The spasmodic
efforts of our Government have not succeeded
in placing them on firm and reliable basis.
