' The New Tariff Bill.
On Thursday last, the House of Repro-
sentativas, at Washington, a new
■ Tariff Bill, increasing the rate of duties
on many articles and giving special atten
tion, to coal and iron/ The new bill pos-
cesses all the essential; features of giving
protection to American industry, and it
‘would hp well for. the country should it be
finally passed; but as the Senate has yet
to act upon it, we have no hope that such
will be the case, as there is a
majority in that branch against it. The
vote on the final passage of the bill in the
House was as follows:

' Distressing Calamity.—Twenty-sev
en persons, mostly females, were drowned
a few days sipce, while on a pic-nic and
fishing excursion; nine miles from Cam
den, South Carolina. During the after
noon about 80 ladies, with a few gentle
.men embarked in a fiat-boat for the pur-
v large pond. —
- "w hile thus enjoying 'themselves the boat
struck a snag, held fust, aqd began to
leak. In a short time it sank, and the
party, which seems to liave been fuddled
together; sank with it, and clinging one
to the other, with that grasp which be
longs only to those in a drowning condi
tion, there was little opportunity for the
males in the company to rescue the ladies
or even to save themselves. The scene
on the boat and on shore is said to have
teen heart-rending. A few pf the bodies
jrere afterwards recoverd, but most of
them could not be found.

Union Party National Convention nomi
nated Hon. Johri Bell, of Tennessee, for
President, and Hon. Edward Everett, .of|

Convention was much larger than was

It was composed of the American party;
North, old line Whigs who have not af

Southern Opposition." Mr, Bell was an
old, line Whig, but went over to the|
American party, which is ♦the only one
opposed to the Democracy, South of Ma-|

of a protective tariff, and is an anti-Le

and could easily be swallowed by the en

Recently, near Petersburg, \a., a
musk rat and a mocassin snake had a fight
in a pond, and the rat turned and made
for the shore. The snake caught him as
he reached the bank, they fought for
ten minutes, now on the bank and now in
the water, till the rat surrendered. At
this time a looker on threw a stone, which
caused the snake to release bis hold, and
the rat, finding himself free, scrambled
away to his hole. Our .English cousins,
we presume, in view of the recent fistic
battle'' in their dominions, would call this
a “ drawn fight.”
Fun for the Japanese. —The Japan

His ideas of the bodily proportions of the

The train arrived at Oshkosh, 193 miles, from Chicago,
about an hour before date. I expected that there would
be steamboats running from tills place, making connections
with the cars, bat 1 found this was not the cose. About
ten o'clock on Saturday, a boat came down. Quite a uum- {
ber of passengers who were waiting ul tiie XXanington {
House, where 1 stopped, together with myself, were pack- i
ed, baggage and all, in an omnibus to bo curried to the |
bout lauding. About tbe time we were all comfortably |
seated, the young man of the house informed us that the |
boat only run to Prairie du Chion, while vve all wished to :
go to Uunieith. Assuring ns of this fact, the kindly laud- i
lord informed us tha, we must all get out and wait for ano
ther bent. Being aware of " tricks upon travellers,” I
took the. liberty of walking down to the wharf, and ar
rived Aere just as tbe boat was rounding out, and on in
qury found that she was bound direct to Dun Leith. Xf
ever a poor fellow received a blessing it was that landlord,
as we ail believed it was a “trick upon travellers; ’and now
we arf here wilb no hope ofTi boat until this time to-mor
row. 1 wouid advise ail persons travelling west to the
Mississippi, and wishing to go either north or south an the
river, not to come to this point, or ten chances to one they
will bt kept here a 'day or two. If X were travelling west
fifty times again, this w ould be the last point I would come
to. Whether it is the tanlt of the Lacrosse llailrond Com
! pauy, or this people here, I am. not able to sily, but 1 pre
i sumu it is chargeable to both, os there v an a regular line
steamboat loft mr the south before the arrival of the
train, and the train was on time. Keeping passengers here
two nights and a day wijl nut be tolerated by tbe travelling
community. 1 understand that we arc not the first who
have come here by the La Crosse Railroad, under the he-
Lof.ihat they could go right along, au.fwhen they arrived

' Dear Tribune :—When I came to imjuire the best way to
get from Stephens’ Point to the Mississippi River, I began
to see where I was, and thought of retracing my steps, put
I came to the conclusion that that would not do, as I never
was in the Imldt of backing out from any undertaking. I
therefore shaped ray course down the Wicousln Riv. r again
in the Wisconsin line of stage coaches. Seating myself in
the coach at 4 o'clock in the morning, away I went, and
arrived at Grand Rapids at 9 o'clock, for breakfast aud
change of horses. This is a lumbering place 2+ miles be
low Stephen's Point, on the same river. I thought the
place was properly named, fur the water dashes and foams
over rocks of huge size. projecting above the water in the
bed of the river and along the shore. The water is of a
dark reddish color, and is not fit to drink,us it is kept up
by the water from the marshes and lakes in the upper
country. Wo crossed Hie riverat thisplace in a self-acting
ferry-boat. The mail leading to New Lisbon, on the La
crosse and Milwaukis Railroad, runs through a barren
country, of the poorest lafid. Along the way I noticed
ruins of improvements that had once been opened up but
abandoned on account of the shallowness of the so;'.. One
place, in particular, arrested my attention. The road pass
es through one ol those ancient fortifications about which,
perhaps, you have heard so much. This ons is the most
interesting I have ever seen. There bon the north side a
row of mounds, about 40 feet apart, extending nearly north
aud south, some 600 yards, that have not a tree or shrub
upon them. On the south side there is a perfect breast
work of earth thrown up about the same length of Uio
mounds. On the south-western aide there extended another
breast-work, closing up all hut the eastern end or square.
These were all erected by a race of people now nearly un
known.
ti*. '
At Hew Lisbon we took tbe cars and run through to La
crosse in four'and a half hours, arriving at 12 o'clock at
night. This town is situated on the Mississippi'river, at
the mouth of Lacrosse River. After a good night's rest, I
arose early next morning, and perambulated about town
for a while, examining several extensive saw-mills. This
is an extensive lumbering point; vast quantities of pine
logs are brought down tho river and manufactured Into
boards tor tbe southern and eastern markets, I then took
passage up Wolf River, and ascended 50 miles above Osh
kosh; Tills is a Very crooked and deep river, but in some
places it spreads out into lakes five miles wide, most of
wliich are shallow. In many places they were covered
with thousands of ducks, and I am Informed they abound
in fish of different kinds. All along tbe shore are Indian
wigwams. The Indians come down from tho upper coun
ty to fish during the winter season and flit again in the
spring as soon as tue ice in the river breaks np.
After 1 hod proceeded up this river far enough, I stepped
off the boat at Gill's Landing, which is about the head ol
steamboat navigation. I seated myselif in a stage coach,
In company with two strangers, and, at the crack of the
driver’s whip, away we went over hills and throngh mar
shes toward Stephen's Point, on tho Wisconsin River, the
w'hble country is a wilderness. Along the stream there are
heavy forests of while pine timber, hut all show the marks
of the woodman's axe. tA great portion of the distance has
neither timber nor grass, nothing but white sand—too
pitor for grass to grow upon.
A little before night wo encountered sin old-fashioned
thunder-storm on the plain. 1 thought that I had heard:
it thunder and aeon it rain in Pennsylvania, but that storm
outdid anything 1 bad ever seen or beard in my travels
hjre. He closed up the coach and kept ourselves' dry, and
trusted to the driver and horses to take ua through, which
they did with safety. After tho storm,'vmpassed 'along

A few days since, Mr. Jus. 11. Beadle, of Huntsville.'Ala- 1

Ilk- benefit of suffering humanity, the astonishing care J
which bad been effected in the case of bis wife by the use j
of Ur. Honee's V-g-table Epileptic Pills. He Informed us. I
that at the time bis wife-commenced using the medicine, !
her system wis so entirely prostrated, by tbo number of
spasms she had undergone, as to redndo her weight to 100
lbs. Since she has been talcing tho pills, she has entirely
got over the spasms and has gained in weight and bodily
heaith. She now weighs at leas* 2UO W?., snd declares sha
