I Could not say Farewell.
BY S. El BROWN.
0, who can say, Farewell !
When the heart is on the tongue !
.'Tis sadder than the funeral knell,
O'er joys departed rung.
I left thee in thy bloom,
With what anguish who can tell,
I tore my heart away from thine,
But could not say Farewell !
I marked the smile upon thy lip,
I felt its magic spell
I knew it only mask'd thy grief,
And could not sav farewell !
I saw the tear drop in thine eye,
And kissed it ere it fell
I pressed thy velvet hand in mine,
But could not say farewell !
GEN. WINFIELD SCOTT
A Glance at Ills IJfc.
Since the appointment of Gen. Scott to
the command of the army against Mexico,
a peculiar interest seems to be taken in all
that pertains to his life and character.
His life has been a truly chequered one,
marked bv noble deeds and signal events
entitling him to occupy a conspicuous
place in the ranks of the good and great.
With a view of measureably gratifying
the prevalent public curiosity, we subjoin
a brief sketch of his history, comprising
a notice of his valorous conduct on one or
two occasions, for which we are indebted
to the Philadcphia Inquirer.
General Winfield Scott was born on
the 18lh of June, 1780, near Petersburg,
Virginia. He pursued the usual prepara
tory studies, spent a year in the High
School in Richmond, and subsequently
went to the College of William and Ma
ry, where he attended a course of Law
Lectures. In 1805 he was admitted to
the bar, and in 1807 he removed to South
Carolina, intending to practice law in the
Courts at Charleston. Soon after, the
. aggressions of the European Powers on
the commerce of the United States had
reached their height, and Scott, participa
ting in the spirit of patriotism which ani
mated the young men of that dav,voluntccr
ed as a member of the Petersburg troop of
horse, that had been called out under the
Proclamation of the President, forbidding
the harbors of the United States to British
vessels of war. In due time, wc may
here just add, upon the breaking out of
the war between the United States and
England, in 1S12, Scott obtained a Lieut.
Colonel's commission, and immediately
proceeded to the Niagara frontier with
several companies.
In October of the same year, the cele
brated battle of Queenslown was fought.
Scott participated in it, and greatly dis
tinguished himself by his bravery and ac
tivity. We have neither time nor room
to give a full account of this battle; but
will simply append a few paragraphs
going to show Scott's intrepidity and pa
triotism as displayed during its pro
gress. At one time during the battle, it is sta
ted that Scott arrived on the Queen stown
heights. He had been permitted, as a
volunteer, to cross the river with his ad
jutant, Roach, and assume the command
of the whole body engaged. On the
Canada side, he unexpectedly found Brigadier-General
Wads worth, of the New
York militia, who had crossed without
orders. Scott, therefore, proposed to
limit his command to the regulars. But
the generous and patriotic Wadsworth
would not consent, lie promptly yield
ed the command over all the forces to
Scott. " You, sir." said he, "know best
prefessionally, what ought to be done. I
am here for the honor of my country, and
that of the New York militia." Scott,
therefore, assumed the command, and
throughout the movements which ensued,
General Wadsworth dared every danger
in aiding the views of the commander.
Though they had met for the first time,
he had become already attached to the
young colonel. He repeatedly, in the
course of the battle, interposed his own
person to shield Stott from the Indian
rifles, which his tali person attracted.
At another time, while the battle was
, raging, information was brought to Scott
and those engaged, that the militia on the
American shore refused to cross to their
assistance. The enemy numbered not
less than thirteen hundred, while the A
merienns were reduced to less than threo
hundred. Retreat was as hopeless as
succor, for there were! no boats on the
Canada shore, and the other side would
not afford them aid. Scott took his posi
tion on the ground they then occupied, rc-
" solved to abide the shock, and think of
surrender only when battle was impossi
ble. He mounted a log in front of his
much diminished band: ''The enemy's
bslls," said he, "begin to thin our ranks.
His nurmVrs arc overwhelming. In: a
moment the. shock ranst ectne. and there
is no retreat. We are in the beginning
of a national war. Hull's surrender is to
be redeemed. Let us then die, arms in
hand. Our country demands the sacri
fice. The example will not be lost. The
bloyd of the slain will make heroes of the
living. Those who follow will avenge
our fall, and their country's wrongs.
Who dare to stand?" "All!" was the
answering cry. A vigorous resistance
was made; but finally, overpowered by
superior numbers, the brave American
band was compelled to surrender.
The contest was truly a bloody one,
and throughout this scene of various ac
tion, of mistake and misfortune, of success
and disaster, Lientant-Colonel Scott,
says an accurate account, was distin
guished for great exertions. He was in
full-dress uniform, and his tall stature
made him a conspicuous mark. He was
singled out by the Indians, but remained
unhurt. He was urged to change his
dress. " No," said he, smiling, "I will
die in my robes." At the same moment
Captain Lawrence fell by his side, as it
was supposed, mortally wounded.
Thus ended the battle of Queenstown
Heights: an engagement desultory in its
movements, various in its incidents, and
unfortunate in its result, but not without
consequences important to the spirit and
vigor of the American arms. Magnitude
is not always necessary to the dignity of
an achievement, nor is defeat always dis
couraging to the unsuccessful party. It
is the nature of the action which gives
character to the actor. Judged by this
standard, the events of Queenstown had
their value, and their inspiratiun to every
patriot American. Hull had surrensered
without a battle; disgrace not from the
mere disaster; but from the mode by
which it was produced, was inflicted upon
the country, and felt in the hearts of its
children. It was battle, and honorable
battle only,which could drive this gloomy
shadow from the country, check the
taunts of enemies, remove its own doubts
and re-establish its self-respect. The bat
tle of Queenstown Heights did this in no
small degree. While the mistakes, the
errors, and the losses of that day were
deplored, the American press and people
recognised, amid regrets and misfortunes
a spirit of achievement, a boldness in
danger, and a gallant bearing, which in
spired new hopes, and pointed out the
wav to ultimate success. The daring
gallantry of Colonel Van Resslaer; the
capture of the British battery by Wool
and his heroic companions; the intrepid
conduct of Wadsworth, of Chrystie, of
Totton, and many others, and particularly
the courage, skill, and continued actively
and exertions of Scott, had given a cheer
fulness even to the darkness of defeat,
and almost a glory of satisfaction to the
memory of Queenstown Heights.
We may add many other interesting
particulars relative toScott's life,illustrative
of his bravery heroism and skilful general
ship. His name, as the reader well
knows, is indissolubly connected with
Lundy's Lane and Chippewa. Had he
not taken part in any other engagement,
his participation in these, alone, would
have rendered him immortal. But we
cannot enter into a minute description of
those great battles. Our limits forbid it.
Let it suffice to say, of the man and his
character, that should our country, unfor
tunately, become embroiled in a protract
ed war with Mexico and other powers,
we would find Scott, as on .the forme r oc
casions, boldly standing up in defence of
his country's invaded rights and soil, and
actings part, which, in its coummation
would entwine around his brow addition
al unfadng laurels. Lan. Tribune.
AX IXCIDEXT FV THE
LIFE OF GENERAL SCOTT.
The following incident is related by
the Biographer of General Winfield
Scott, as having occurred during the "Pa
triot Insurrection" in Canada and on our
Northern borders. - .
Manv davs after the destruction of the
"Caroline," (writes the spirited biogra
pher and historian) another steamer, the
"Barcelona," was cut out of the ice in
Buffalo harbor, (January, 1838.) and ta
ken down the Niagra river, to be offered,
as was known, to the patriots, who were
still on Navy Island. Gen. Scott wished
to compel them to abondon their crimi
nal enterprise. He also desired to have
them, on returning within our jurisdic
tion, arrested by the marshal, who was
always with him. For this purpose, he
sent an agent to hire the Barcelona for
the service of the United States, before
the patriots cnuld get the means to pay
for her, or find sureties to indemnify the
owners in case of capture or destruction
by the British. He succeeded in all
these objects. The Barcelona proceeded
back to Buffalo, where Scott had immedi
ate use for her on Lake Erie, yet naviga
ble in all its length. The authorities on
the Canada side were on the alert to des
troy her
As the Barcelona slowly ascended a
gainst the current on our 6ide of Grand
fsland, (belonging to the United Slates,)
three armed British schooners, besides
batteries on the land, were in positions,
as the dav before, to sink her as $he
came out from behind that island. On
the 16th of January, Scott and Governor
Marcy stood on the American shore op
posite that point watching events. The
smoke of the approaching boat could be
seen in the distance, and the purpose of
the British was perfectly evident in all
their movements. The batteries on our
side were promptly put in position. The
matches were lighted. All was ready to
return the British fire. There was a cri
sis! The day before this, when it was sup
posed the Navy Island people were com
ing up the same channel in other craft,
and before it was known that the Barcelo
na had accepted his offered engagement,
Scott wrote on his knee, and despatched
by an aid-de-camp, the fol,owing note:
To the Commanding Officer of the
Armed British Vessels in the Niagara.
"Head Quarters, Eastern Division U.")
S. Army, two miles below Black y
Rock, January 15th, 1838. J
"Sir With his Excellency the Gov
ernor of New York, who has troops at
hand, we are here to enforce the neutrali
ty of the United States, and to protect
our own soil or waters from violation.
The proper civil officers are also present
to arrest, if practicable, the leaders of the j
expedition on foot against Upper Cana
da. "Under these circumstances, it gives
me pain to perceive the armed vessels,
mentioned, anchored in our waters, with
the probable intention to fire upon that ex
pedition moving in the same waters.
"Unless the expedition should first at
tack in which case wc shall interfere
we shall be obliged to consider a discharge
of shot or shell from or into our waters,
from the armed schooners of her majes
ty, as an act seriously compromising the
neutrality of the two nations. I hope,
therefore, that no such unpleasant inci
dent may ocenr.
"I have the honor to remain, &c. &c,
"Winfield Scott."
The same intimation was repeated and
explained the next morning,January lGth
to a captain of the British army, who had
occasion to wait upon Scott on other busi
ness, and who immediately returned. It
was just then that the Barcelona moved up
the current of the Niagara. The cannon
on either shore were pointed, the match
es lighted, and thousands stood in sus
pense. On the jutting pier of Black
Rock, in view af all, stood the tall form
of Scott, in full uniform, watching the ap
proaching boat. On Scott's note and his
personal assurances, alone depended the
question of peace or war. IIappily,these
I assurances had their just effect. The
I T- 1 . 1 1 MM. !:. 1-
narcciona passeu aiong. ine .uriiisn
did not fire. The matches were extinguish
ed; the two nations, guided by wise coun
sels, resumed their usual way; and war's
wild alarms were hushed into the whim
pers of peace.
Small a place as this incident may oc
cupy in history, it was a critical moment
in the afiairs of nations. Had one Brit
ish gun been fired, and much more had
the Barcelona been destroyed, no author
ity or influence would have restrained
nur excited populaion. Wre should pro
bably have had an unpremeditated war,
one of those calamities which nations
have to endure for their sins, and which
is without the consoling and self-supporting
consciousness of a great moral right.
It would have been war from incident, and
not a national controversy.

FATAL DUEL.
The following letter furnished to the
Journal of yesterday by Joseph Knox,
Esq., gives painful intelligence of a fatal
duel in this peaceful state:
Carlisle, May 16, 1840.
Dear Sir: Our town was thrown in
to an excitement yesterday afternoon, by
an occurrence which cast gloom and sor
row in our midst. It appears that as Gen
eral Armor was reviewing the several
companies in his command, on Wednes
day last, which was review day, some
words passed between him and Col. A.
Noble, the reeult is that General Armor
challenged the Colonel, and a duel came
off yesterday afternoon, wherein Colonel
Noble was shot dead instantly the ball
passing through his brain. After a coro
ner's inquest had been held, (finding that
Colonel Noblocame to his death by a
shot fired by General Armor,) the body
was brought into town and taken to his
mother's dwelling.
The most intense excitement prevails
among the citizen in regard to the act.
F. MEIIAFFY.
P. S. Since writing the foregoing,
General Armor has been taken and lodg
ed in jail. Col. Noble was buried this
morning at 9 o'clock; a tremendous con
course of people attended the funeral.
In the single county of Mercer, Penn
sylvania, there are now erecting fourteen
new iron furnaces, and one thousand
miners arc- now wanted to mine iron and
coal in the valley of the Chenango
Men that have some experience in
mining are most needed, yet all are sure

OFFICIAL XEWS.
We learn that despatches were receiv
ed this evening from General Taylor, da
ted the 3rd and 5th , instant both Point
Isabel and the fort on the Rio Grande
perfectly safe.
On the 1st, the defences on the river
et,rtn ,., -U, ,.mrx.o.l :
, T , f -v .
Gcneral laylor left a garrison of some
3 !
five hundred men, under Major Brown, !
of the seventh infantry, and marched
with the remainder of his army (twenty
seven miles) to Point Isabel. Not an
enemy was seen in the whole distance.
All apprehensions for the safety of that
depot of supplies were thus dissipated.
But on the morning (5 o'clock) of the
3d, the enemy, from the side of Matamo
ras, opened a heavy cannonade upon our
tort, which lasted with but little intermis
sion till midnight. In the mean time the
enemy's guns (all but one mortar) were j
siienceu uy our ion. lajor lirown lost
one searg t killed, and not another man
wounded. Our gallant little band expec
ted an assault from this side of the river
at the same time, and was fully prepared
to repel it. None was made.
Matamoras was necessarily fired upon
in the set of sinlencing the enemy's bat
teries, and also to kill or disperse the
troops therein quartered. -The buildings
were probobly but little damaged. The
inhabitants, no doubt, had mostly fled be
fore the commencement of the cannon
ade What number of Mexican troops
were killed was only known by conjec
ture; no doubt a considerable number.
General Taylor, at Point Isabel, expec
ted on the 5th to march the next day
with a heavy train of supplies for the fort
on the river, and thence to assume offen
sive operations against the Mexicans; but
a private letter makes the probable conjec
ture that General Arista had returned
widi his regulars to the other side of the
river, leaving in the chaparrals only the
rancheros, his irregular cavalry. It is
not likely that he will re-invadc Texas,
as General Taylor had received, or expec
ted to receive on the 6th instant, several
detachments of troops (regulars and ir
regulars) from New Orleans.
The affair with Captain Walkcr'sTex
an Rangers, as was represented by ru
mor, was much exaggerated. 4n the tem
porary absence of that gallant and enter
prising officer, his company lost, by a
surprise, but a handful of men 8 or 10.
. Captains Thornton and Hardee and
Lieutenant Kane, all of the second dra
goons, had arrived unhurt, prisoners of
war, at Matamoras, and reported them
selves to General Taylor, by letter, as
kindly treated. -
In the cannonade, Major Brown, Cap
tain Mansfield, of the engineers, Captain
Lowd, and the garrison were all much
distinguished. General Taylor always
writes coolly. His inarch, when he ex
pected to meet three thousand Mexican
horse, was a gallant enterprise. The
Mexicans have not probably had, good
and bad, four thousand troops on the low
er Rio Grande.

Tlie National Fair and the
Tariff.
Messrs. Editors: I see,' in th last
"Union," that a writer (I presume thoir
usual correspondent, the British agent
now in the Capitol) complains, not that
the goods exhibiting at the 'National Fair'
are too high, but too low. He says
that they ctmnot be sold for the prices
marked, and invites merchants to give
large orders at these prices, and thus back
them out. Let them come on, and this
Manchester man with them, and the man
ufacturers, I venture to predict, will not
only fill all their orders but thank them
for their custom. But this writer inquires,
when the American manufacturers can
supply goods atlower prices' than foreign-)
ers, why tax the consumer! How? by
givmg them goods at "low prices? This
is a strange taxation; but it is the way the
protective policy always has and always
will tax the people, by giving them goods All the citizens of the Csmmonwcalth,
cheaper and cheaper as capital is invested, arc exhorted to be united, firm and deci
skill acquired, and supply increased. J ded "in preserving order, promoting con-
Kepeal the tariff, check American com-
petition, get goods from abroad as former-
ly, and these Manchester men will soon
put up their prices to former rates and
make their fortunes at our expense; and
this is just what they so ardently desire
to accomplish by breaking down our tar
iff. Will an American Congress gratify
them? We shall soon see.
But the "Union" man inquires, if wc
can manufacture as cheap as foreigners,
why keep on the tariff? And I ask him,
if the tariff has, by inducing investments
and increasing supply, reduced prices to
one third and one-fourth of what they
were before, why repeal it, and thus check
further investments, further rednctionsof
price? Answer this.
But, says this British advocate, these
manufacturers are rcalaizing profits of
from 3a to 100 per cent. So much the
better, if, as he says, thev are giving ns

ing for the best employment, will soon

and increase supply that the prices will
; be so reduced that the profits will soon
, come down to the ordinary rates of 0 or
7 per cent. Repeal the protective tariff,
and you check all further investments

at the same tune increase the prices of
agricultural produce of all kinds, raw ma
terials and breadstuff, by increasing its
consumption.
Thus these an'i tariff agitators are do
ing every thing for the invested capital
by checking home competition and secu

market, whilst, on the other hand, they
are injuring labor by diminishing its em
ployments, and depressing agriculture by
diminishing the demand for its produc

Some considerable sensation has been
produced by the publication of a Procla
mation from the Mexican General, direc
ted to the foreign born in our Army, a::d
inviting them to desert us for the protec
tion of Mexico. Wc arc strongly of thu
opinion that the Proclamation as publish
ed is not authentic; indeed, it bears evi
dent marks of a forgery on its face. The
New Orleans Tropic refers to the appear
ance of foreigners among the Mexican
troops, as officers and engineers, and ex
presses surprise that any one should con
nect the nation with the individuals who
appear among the Mexican troops. It
then follows up the subject by saying
that "it should be remembered that eve
ry country in Europe is a military despo
tism, and that there are hundreds of able
officers, who are by profession soldier
that fight tor pay, and are not particular
about the side they arc on.as to the princi
ples they contend for. This fact will ac
count for the appearance of French, Aus
trian, or Spanish officers in the Mexican
army. We understand, from good au
thority, that able European engineers and
officers are in Mexico, anil constantly dis
placing the native officers.

Chemical Phenomenon.
In the tOAvn of New Berlin, Chenango
county, New York, and about three mile
north of New Berlin village, on the farm
of Mr. Zalmon Hubbcll,are two spots of
earth, from two to three rods in circum
ference, of a dark color, somewhat resem
bling the bed of a coal pit. The field
around is covered with cobble stones,
many of which, when burnt, become sand
stone. Whenever these stones arc car
ried on to cither of these spots of dark
earth, which they frequently are by the
plough, they soon, perhaps in a few
months, assume the appearance of having
undergone the action of lire,and in proess
of time become fully decomposed and
crumble away to sand. The earth in
these places, a little below the surface, is
of a redish yellow; but when brought in
contact with the atmosphere, after a time
it assumes a dark color, resembling much
the appearance of the bed of a coal pit, aj
above stated.
As the writer is neither a geologist
nor chemist, he hopes hereby to induce
some scientific gentleman to visit thi
place, and ascertain the cause of the above
phenomenon.
GL.ASS.
It 1832, (says the Vermont Watchman,)
there were 17 flint glass factories in tho
United States. As the tariff was redu
ced, the number of factories was also redu
ced, until 1812, when there were but 5.
Since the tariff of '42 was enacted, tho
number of factories has increased to 19
which consume annually $800,000 of
of coal, wood, lumber, staves, hoops,
straw, iron, rosin, pcarlash, lead &c.t
(all of this is exclusive of the food consu
med by the operatives,) and gives freight
enough for constant employment to 5,
393 tons of shipping.
Since 1812 the price of glass has bcert
reduced 25 per cent., while the wages of
the laborers have been increased in about
the same proportion. In this case it is
evident that protection has cheapened
glass to the cosumers, while ithasincrcs
ed the wages of jthe makers apparently
a paradox; yet such are the facts. And
why should it not be so? When foreign
manufactures had killed ofl 12 out of oar
17 factories, the way is prepared to in
crease the price of their glass, and at
the same time when glass makers enough
to supply 17 factories, arc forced to rely
for work upon only five, and these five
doing a precarious business, it is certain
ly reasonable tosuppose that they cannot
command full wagess reasonable, be
cause thev cannot have full work. The
foreign sljss dealers arc now flattering
themselves with the idea of again prostra
ting American glass makers, by means of
Walker's tariff. Said one of them re
cently to a Yankee glass maker "Give
us that bill, and wc will soon stop your
fires for you!" -
