THE LATE CAPT. BLAZER.

We notice that Yellow Jack numbers
among his victims Capt Richard Blazer, and
our exchanges in noting his death, add that
he "met and vauquished" Mosby's guerillas
on one occasion The said Capt. Blazer did
meet Mosby's men at one time, and somebody
was most decidedly vanquished, but it hap>
pened to be Blazer. The following graphic
accoun. of the .'vanquishing" we take from
Mai John Scotts " Partisan Life with Mosby.'
After describing the encounter with and rout
of Bl.zer's command at MycrstoWn, he con-
tinucs:
..Bu. how Jared it with Capt. Blazer p
Even utter the fIuitless effort at Myerstown
he had attempted to restore the fight, but his
efforts served only to delay his own retreat
and render useless the aeetncss of his horse
He was singled out by four men, justly
ranked among the best soldiers in Mosby' S
commaDd-Sam Alexander, sgd Ferguson,
Cab. Maddux and the terrible Powell But
the superiority of Ferguson mare, Fashion,
one Of the fsctest and hardest animals in
the battalion, enabled her rider to pass in
succession all his competitors in that head
long pursuit, and place himself by the side of
Bluzer Then rising in his stirrups he struck
Captain Blazer blow with his pistol, which
brought him to the ground. There was one
iuau who proposed to finish the work which
Ferguson had begun, but, with the chivalry
of a true warrior, he stood up in defense of
his capture"
SO was Blazer Jielzed by the now Rev s.
G. Ferguson pastor of the NJ. E. Church
South, of this town.
Capt. Scott, in the work from which we
take the above, pays high tribute to Capt.
Blazer as brave and efficient officer, and VIC
only publish this article.to correct the mis-
statements quoted above

THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF.

The protective. tariff that is kept in oper-
atiuu in this country for the benefit of few
manufacturers, says the Alexandria Gazette,
has helped in no small degree to produce the
prevailing hard times, and if continued
must of necessity make them harder by eth
or preventing an Increase in or seriously di-
minishing foreign orders for American goods,
and consequently either preventing an in
crease in or'seriously dimin ishing tho labor
employed to supply these orders. Canada
already in consequence of this tariff has dc
termined to establish similar one, which
will OF course reduce to q minimum the guam
tity of goods exported from the United States
to that country, and the European govern
Inents, for the same reasons, are comtcmpla.
to-; :he imposition of heavy duties on Amer
jean products. This is not only natural but
sensible, and the wonder is-that retaliatory
t"ritfs have not been imposed before. When
they shall have become general, as must be
the case if tho American tariff be allowed to
remain in force, the balance in trade, now
permitted by their existence to be iE ia
vor of this country, will be likely to change
sides, and the depression in business on this
sido Of the Atlantic be greater than ever
Free trade, not only 10 ships, but in every
thing else, is what this country wants to
stimulate its'industrcs, for American goods
are the best aud the cheapest in the world,
sought for everywhere, and could be OBJ
tanned wherever sought if it were not that
the tariff laid on foreign goods in this coun>
try prevents the importation of such goods,
and consequently dcpTives foreign merchant is

otherwise buy here.

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. Burton. the Jeweller of Hnrper's
Ferry, has singular sort of mechanical con-
trivance in his store window, from which
hangs half dozen watches-some of them
old fashioned family watches, SIS big and stout
as dutchmen filled with lager beer-soue az
small almost as ten cent pieces like little
babies following their fat papas, and this cou-
trivance keeps continually going round at the
same solemn, blind horse rate-no variation,
no check, no change of time. Citizens are
beginning to complain Of this; they say that
it is having bad effect on the brain of peo-
pie who are obliged to look into the window.
We certainly think that Mr.. Burton, if he
cannot give some variety to the movements
of this machine OF his, ought to remove it.
What would Mr. Burton think and say, and
do, if-after paying his five cents for a look
at short panorama, that instead of ever
changing views, the same old Mount Nesuvius,
or Gen. Scott on his white charger, was re-
volviug round |? Why! He'd smash the
show, and knock down the dirty faced Italian
that managed it.
We are told that history repeats itself ::
that tho civilization of the 10Th century re-
calls that OF Rome, that that Of Rome recalls
that of Greece, that that of Greece recalls
that of Egypt. and so on. But then it will
be remembered, that one man has never been
called on to observe aud endure the nuisance
of such recurrence. 1t is not hard to
amagine that if some gentleman who used to
dance quadrilIcs with Pharoah's daughter and
smoke cigars with her father, had lived on
through all these epochs he would-much as
we love ifc-many time aud oft, wish him
self dead. Under all these circumstances,
we really think that if Mr.. Burton cannot
give some variety to the movements of this
machine of his that VIC have described, he
ought incontinenty to remove it.

A..LITERARY SOCIETY.

The question, just at this season, occurs to
US, cannot our Literary Society be revived, or
some measure be put on foot by which our
people may be afforded series Of lectures or
literary entertainments during the coming
winter? The fall term of our Circuit Court
is now over, and .our. legal friends are through
with their heavy work until spring, and will,
we doubt not, be willing to lend their aid
towards accomplishing the object. The
nights are getting long, and few of them
might be spent pleasantly and probably in
the enjoyment Of good lecture or debate.
Who will move 10 the matter?
