On his retum, it was banded to him ; he read it—and doubting the truth of its contents, sent word to his sou that •he wished him to come home for aday or two. The servant bearing this message, brought back intel.. ligence of Henry's absence; he was not at his boarding house, and lead - not been at Mr. Living• aeon's office for weeks. This news opened a form. tam of trouble.in Mr. La Ronde's mind that was never dried up; Efe_set out immediately for the city; and searched every corner of it for his eon, —lnhin vain. Henry was gone, atietmone knew where; at least, no one would , tell :where. The news of his being lost soon reached .Caroline Vii lere - and she told bet uncle of his visit there in company with Mr. La Grange._ This information caused a Search to be made for this personage— and..after using every means_ to find him, without success, Mr . La. Ronde concluded that La Grange was murderer, and that he had decoyed Henry from the eity for the purpose of murdering and " robbing him. • This supposed tragical termination of his son's life, led Mr. La Ronde to reflect upon his careless. netit in training him; and, upon inquiry, he found that the.chtuges against hint in Mr. Livingston's letter were tilLtrae;- Bratptill the, half was.untold. liaiehis little think of the deep and inexhaustible .source of4ortow they prepare for themselves by neglecting to train up their children, especially their sons, in the ways of morality. The mental teigttny experienced by Mr. La Ronde soon exhibi ted Itself op his physical system. His hair became silveied'; his head sank bitween his shoulders; and a cough seized hold of him, which in six months time' terminated his life—verifying the scriptural provetb: " A foolish ' sort lea grief to his father!' By his will, General Villere was his ,executor; and his property was divided between Caroline Villere and a distant relative. The:conclusion in regard to Henry La Ronde's absence, had its effect upon Caroline Villera ; but, she could not be persuaded that the gentlemanly Mr. La Grange had murdeted him and she en ertalned, despite every, discouragem ent, the hope that he would again return. • It is well known to all teeters of history, that our south-western border- was but Poorly prepared to sustain the attack which was meditated upon it, by the British-in the winter of 1814—'15. This circumstance: rendered it necessary to adopt every* expedient which would yield any force. Now, althOugh La Eitte was viewed as a dangerous Min; and; although a price was set upon his head by the authorities, I believe of Lousiartal yet, the magnanimous and .patriotic act already related, so much recommended him in the sight of his. Excellency, Governor Claiborne, that he iiirdoned him, and solicited his aid in defending the'country. This request was readily granted by La Pitti; and as : soon as he had his new Lieuten , ant 'fairly initiated,. he took all his men except about twenty, and iepaired to New Orleans, for tlffipurpose, as he contended, of, stitising his re• vengefulspirit upon the destroyers of his parents: and, the British had not in that engagement -a moredetertnined• opponent than the captain of the_Barittarias. • December, a - beautiful morning, early in the month of Decern - ber, and about one week after La Fitte's -departure; La . Ronde entered a small sloop, with four men, and sailed across the bay, in a south 'easterly direCtion, to the main land.. On reaching theland, he'left the sloop in care of the men, with directions to await his return, and set out on foot towards tbe . G'ulf .shore. As he walked along at a rapid gait, he mused, "they must be laying off main.land sothewhere in this direction, It cannot be that I have mistaken the Ilirection; for I have paid particular attertioh to . their, gnus these two days.''

THE 'I%II3IIFF. Mr. Mnacca., an , intelligent Democrat, a Delegate in the Democratic State Convention, from Bradford county, offered the following Resolution in that bo dy, vhicb was unanimously adopted—not being even objected to by the tedelegate” frotn•Washing , ton county . • Resolved, That the practical workings of the pre sent revenue laws, dearly demonstrate their isnpe. riority over =those which linutediately' preceeeed them. Thus proving that that which was logical in argument, is sound in principle, and practical in its elects. All systems which give bounties to panic. alai interests to the detriment of the great Industrial classes of tbe Coentry7-which seeks to aggrandize the few at the expense of the many, are a clear vio lation of those principles of democracy which pro claims to all equality of rights. The opinions of the Democratic party are dearly exhibited in the above Resolution. The Democra. cy of the country are every where committed in fa vor of the " present revenue laws," or the " Tariff of 1846," and the Federal Whig. and their natural allies the Conservatives, are committed agaivet those laws: There nre, however, hosts of " progressive Whigs," who utterly repudiate the doctrine of "pro tection for the sake of ;refection." There is no question that has agitated the public mind, since the present form of Giorernment hair had. an existence, which has created io mach ex citement as the Tariff. The-subject'.has been din. cussed by grave Senators in the National Capitol, and by ambitious youths in the lok School house. And,.betimes, the excitement has run so high on the question, as to threaten a dissolution of the Union! In every instance where Congress has been called upon to act on the subject, the question has been settled in the spirit of compromise—the extremes of opinion yielding, for the purpose of producing peace and-harmony,.and saving our beloved country from internal convulsions. Now Whit is a' Tariff, about which so much has been said t It is simply a duty or tax, levied by Congteu l . upon articles im p orted - into the- Gelled .. States fiem foreign countries. For what purpose is - this duty raised? To 'rapport the General Govern ment. Who pays the duty The man who par. chases, or consumes the article imported. To Mos ' trate this, we will suppose that a piece of broad cloth costs $3,00 per yard in England—the freight or carriage paid to the ship owner Is, say, 50c per yard. The Custom Rouse officer collects 30 per cent, ad valorem, or 90 cents on the yard ; which, added to the drayage, storage, &c., would make the cloth worth abOut $6,00 per yard, before it is remo ved from Uncle Sam , s keeping. The wholesale dealer adds at least 25 per cent. for his profits, which would bring the price up to $6,25. The country merchant or retail dealer adds for his profits, say, 25 per cent. more. Thus, the yard of cloth, which originally cost but $3,00 in England stands the man who has it manufactured into a coat at learn $7,81}1 This is certainly a pretty severe tax upon the con sealer; but as long as the preaint system of collect ing ft:ante endures, it must borne. The “Compromise Act," sp it was called, expired by its own limitation, In Iti42. The Law_ passed that year, known as the “Tariff of 142, , 2 was but a temporary expedient, forced through Congress, upon the'eva of ita adjournment, so as not to leave the country without revenue. It was opposed by the whig clambers and the whig-party generally, solely for the purpose of crippling the country, and leay. ing the then Administration Withnut the sinews of war... , it was found, however, suhsequently, that the . Act of 1842, was unequal and unjust in its op. emtions,--oppresaing the poor and benefiting the richp--building.up monopolies, with special privi leges, which were inimical to the well-being of So c:ety. Hence the Whig party, as a matter of course, became itspecoliar champions, and the Democracy, with the exception of the “fisl42l politicians, became its deadly opponents. The Tariff of 1842 was ob jectionable, chiefly on account of its specific system of duties,—i. e. all articles of the same name bad a like-duty imposed upon them, it Mattered not what might have been the cost of such articles. Thus, the individual who purchased a yard of the coarsest -cloth, paid as much duty or tax to the Government upon it, as the individual who purchased and wore the most costly article imported. But this is what the whip and conservatives call a protection it is such uprotection” to the:poor as the wolf extends to the iamb ! But the people throughout the country, with a voice almost unanimous, loudly called for the repeal of this unjust and iniquitous measures. And a change was made. Congress passed, the present revenue laws? known as the Tariff of 1846; and every candid man must admit that thee laws have operated beneficially, and have more thak met with the expectations of the country. Thepriracip/e up on which the Tariff of 1846 is founded, is certainly a correct one. It adopts the ad ea/arm systedt of duties instead of the specifie. It is essentially a revenue Tari f f; and its democratic authors and friends are opposed to raising more revenue than will meet the wants of an economical administra tion of the government. The Tariff of 1846 has thus far worked gloriously. Under its equal operations all the great interests of the country,. manufacturing, commercial, agricultu ral and mechanical, have been .■ protected' , alike. It dispenses its blessings with an impartial hand. And nett+ ithstanding the croak ing conservatives and panic whip, have been growling and whining per. petually, predicting . that the country would go to destruction and Its manufacturing interests be s'ru inedt,, yet the fact is us clear ias the noonday sun, that the country never was in a, more prosperous condition than - during the petled the:present resent:le laws base. been in operation. There lino justemise of complaint In any Ostler.

The subject matter Of the document is ne . other than the practice ofquarantine as at present retained for the presumed protectiOn of one cutlets) , from the in fectious plagues of another. To place the argaruent ' in its proper light, and to - enable the general reader to peruse satisfactorily both tho report itself and the abstract, which will be found in another column, we subjoin s ome preliminary information on the main auditionat issue, and on'the terms employed , in the ebate. . The theorrof contagion assumed that certain dis eases were communicable from one person to anoth er by actual contact, almoat irrespectively of atmos pherical or even constitutional conditions—that is to say, that plague or typhus might be corveyed from the patient to the physician, and from the physician to any third party, although the circumstances of no dality or predisposition were . wholly changed.ln ordinary cases, this propagation of the malady . was held to be almost a matter of certainty, and even if the person originally brought in contact with these teal patient should happen to be proof against the contagion, yet it was thought that he Could carry the poison upon his skidor his clothes in such a staid of activity tie to be communicable to any parties less fever-poor than himself. At first, this virus was supposed to be something as real and palpable as that by`which certain cutaneous maladies are propa. gated, or as that contained in vaccine matter.: At terwards, when acienufie researches pointed to some less substantial farm of atainapheric influendiruka_, principal agent, it was still argued , that there was I still room for contagion; for that the virus of the at mosphere might be so highly concentrated, and, as it were, iespissatcd, by aggravating circumstances, as tube capable of being' deposited on articles of merchandise, furniture, or clothing, and of being, in such form, transmitted to, distant countries and die similar climates. These imaginary deposits. re ceived, in technical language, the name of fondles, and, though not palpable to the senses of perception, were conceived to contain the seeds of the disease. in question, as truly , as the eggs of a spider are con. tabled Mita nest. It was against such dangers as these that +Tumor tine regulations have been directed, it.being suppo sed that material importations could be excluded by material harriers ; and undoubtedly, when the prem ises have ueengranted, it would be hard to resist the conclusion. It is true that throughout the operations of this system facts wholly_irreconcilable with .the principles thus maintained were continually preiteo dug themselves, but so strongly was,the tenacity of popular error here exemplified, that the quarantine regulations were still preserved, even after the good which they effected had become extremely proble matical, while the evil which , they caused was more and more manifest. At length two conclusions were propounded, and, we may almost venture to any, established. The first of these was, that there was little or no generic difference between epidemics and the second, that they were not tram:unable at! terany such fashion as that combated by the insti tutions of quarantine. It is not remarkable that diseases so externally different as those of plague, typhus, scarlanua, fever, influenza and cholera, should have been thought to depend each on their own specific con tagions, but the report before us enumerates the fol lowing important conditions as characterizing the entire class: They are all fevers; they are all dependent on certain atmospheric conditions; they all obey simi lar laws of diffusion; they all infest the same sort of localities, they all attack chiefly the same classes, and, for the most part, persons of the like ages; and their intensity is increased or diminished by the same sanitary and social condition - B.D In fact, there is not wasting evidence to show that epidemics in all ages have resulted from the same infraction of sanitary rules, and that the par. neuter form assumed by each at its outbreak is dc. terminable by the accidents of atmosphere or *Ca* sort. What is influenza one year is chutes the nest; what is plague in one latitude becomes typhus in another. Conditions which generate yellow fever in Barbadoes, generate typhus or scarlititui-ic Eng land. and it is a very remarkable fact that when the cases of typhus have been imported, Alis has some times happened, into the West Indies, they been trunantaneously , extinguished by the atmosphere of the tropics. In fact, the English plague cannot live in Jamaica, nor the Weut India plague in Eng , land, although it is not a little curious, as demon. stratlng the true atmospheric origin of these mala dies, that in one particular summer, remarkable for its strange meteorologic:l conditions, when some troops where in Bythe, a case of yellow fever, in disputably genuine in its type, did usually present itself, although the characteristic sympturas vanish. , ed with the first return of the weather to its English form • Thesecond and. =lest impgrtattle An oB ß a t .0* that these tuatillitenbe they , rrlialtheyttray, nra tin: doubtedly not ormamissible from one country to !m -other, or from one person to another in thernanuer presumed. On head the report will be found to embody conclusion* which, though certainly not novel, are nevertheless presented with naaanal em phasis and supported by en irresistible selection of facts. As regards the propagation of contagion by merchandise, it is proved beyond the possibility of denial that if the theory were correct, Manchester must bare been long, ago ravaged by an oriental plague. When this fngbtful scourge was raging with the utmost violence at Alesarieria some years ago, thousands of bales of cotton goods—aupposed to be a material of the very highest susceptibility in this respect—were shipped from the Egyptian port to England. The cotton was taken from the Gov ernment stores, where uie plague was making the greatest havoc; it watt-stowed away by working parties of natives, who were repeatedly seized with the disorder during the operation; it was packed into the closest possible space, and battened down with the most scrupulous care, as if to preserve the contagion in its most concentrated form. :Yet, al though the s:iip , a crew suffered fearfully ID the port, they carried no seeds of toe disorder away with them, not wee any single instance known of any porter or officer being seized with the phigue;aller ripping open, mpacking, and handling these con taminated hales. The propagation of contagion by personal contact is disproved by factsof equal clearness, It is very sensibly observed that if the hypothesis weresound, the track of any persoe carrying the contagion ought to to marked by a train of dead and dying, and that, in point of fact, the hamaa race could scarcely have survived the ultimate consequences of suchcondi tines. Norio any stress to be laid upon the facts which have been recently observed in Liverpool and Glasgow, connected with the immigration of Irish. What these unfortunate creatures d d was, not to Import In matured activity a specific and definite malady, but to add c swarm of impoverished -in mates to dwellings and localities already overcrowd ed. They made misery more wretched, uncleanli ness more squalid, and privations more insupporta ble. They created the generative conditions of fe ver by their accumulation of numbers, their habits :otfilth, and their state of destitution. The results would have been the same, from whatever quarter the Importation had taken place; and indeed, the in gredienta of an epidemic are now so accurately un- derstoud, that though it might not be possible to car• ry one alreadtmasufbctured across the Atlantic, yet no difficulty would.be experienced in generating the worst type of fever in any spottbat might be-select ed. Other points or such interest suggest them selves that we !Mall make no'npology for reserving opt continuation of the-subject, since what we have already said must prove itsextraordinary importance no less than its unusual extent.

It is the coole lt pieta of overweening official into. lence which it has been our lot to read, considering the immense interests involved. _ Mr.klawes takes it upon hire to state that.the pe titioners are'under an entire misapprehension as to the Rebellion Louse bill; that', in ' fact, they know nothing about it, ant that they are a paclroi insen sate fools to have entertained any indignation on the .44739.'4;:4 - ,•-•tv-',%. , ._ .;• . - • •• . • ,•...• tiabject; , .;Ll,olo - telltrthetit, thhtelthongkthe;.ll,l,l4,-. is.trtiOiedeOe . d.4hi • bill to.'crit(64:'..tlre,lPe-OPie , :''of Cqn44 to. 0 . 4 5.,1ti 3 0;000-AorittleydnifYrehOlaile ll'q* loyalists having be ppid up t 4 within ; b,UOA,I and 1- althonertheieutie'rteriefroleisters.oiffin-14.±00 'rod - fretir.bejtiening ta , .;end;'ilietithe:riirrniiy-.sas . to go, to;rehele,•.y et, aeLontElgirt ChoSe.tO. telt an .un, . mitigatelsehood, - itr.the•lace.• Of.' those fects, to the-poeple of flastingsi..and the-Britistk: goSerecount. • echo it, the - petitioners must not pay any..attention to-the ministerial iliselerations,-- nor to the pier thißebel lion. tosses'act,•tahieh the courts of lair _are/bound to - .enforce, but that-seeing. they are geed:. - loyal people according to: Lorct..Grers - belief, • they will very dutifully`-give''evert-ciedenCe . to the lie, they are told; about The intentions •of; the majority, in Parliament, instead of the truth recorded tn; iris statute. - • - • - Sir....liasvea takes us o ly re colonists .

The Say et Bah iftenetimeei. The famous Bay of San Francisco, -about which so much has been said and Stint is:formed by a long peninsulartract of land, which separates its waters from the ocean, and runs in a direction nearly southeast and northwest. This peninsula widens as you approach Monterey, gradually en crawling upon the waters of the bay, forming a curve bounding the eastern and southern shores of this magnificent inland sea. Near its'northern terminus is the entrance to the bay, near which is the harbor and town of San Francisco. Butal though the Bay of San Francisco it one of the most extensive and completely landlocked bays lathe world, (having no communication withtbe ocean, except through its 'one narrow outlet of a mile and a half in widtb,) it is only one of three bays all connected with each other, and forming together an extent of nearly two hundred miles, from north to south, of inland navigation. After eotering the southernmost of these three bays, (San Trancisco,) a bnaad channel, equally as wide as that at the antranie, and of sufficient depth of water to float the largest ships, conducteinto the bay of San Pablo, through which there is a beat ing channel three miles broad and of from seven to fifteen fathoms of Water in delith. From the Bay of San Pablo, which trends in a north-etisterly direction, you enter the Straits of Carqaines, which ate from or.e mile and a half to two miles broad and about six miles long, leiding - to the northern of the three bays forming the chain, whickis cats led the Suisun Bay. In the Straits of Carquinea there is efficient depth of water for the targestclass of ships; but after entering Suisun Bay, thettavi vistt(fof: any, except .of light draught) is pievented by the want of sufficient depth of water. This is occasioned by its being the reservoir or receptacle of enormous annual de posits of alluvium, brought down by the rivers Sacramento, San Joaquin, and there numerous tri butaries, from the mountains and plains through which they flow`for hundreds of miles. The head of ship navigation, therefore, is in the Straits of Carquines, about thirty.five miles in a northerly direction from San Francisco. At this point a town is springing up rapidly, which seems destin- ed, at no distant period, to rival .San , Francisco in importance, over which it possesses great natural .advantages, as you might see by looking at the map. It he first place, it is at the head of ship navigation, and is surrounded on all sides by the most fertile agricultural districts in Northern Cal ifornia. The Sonoma, Nappa, Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, are all tributary to this point which is the centre of so many radii; while San Francisco has TO .back country, being situated at the extreme end of a long and narrow - neck'of land which separates the Bay of San Francisco - from the Ocean, and which is one of the most bleak and barren tracts of land in all Northern Califozpia. God's World. Though I admit this world is sufficiently sor rowful, and to a certain extent properly termed .a ‘l l / a le of Tears," yet do I not fully sympathise in those sickly repining. at its miseries and vanities, which are too commonly drawn out from the put. pit; for the world is the work of God, and it is correspondingly beautiful—beautiful surpassing description. Its mountains and its Nalleys, hills and plains, rivuletit, lakes, oceans; its infinitelg di versified forms and colors; for-it. embraces all the hues of the rainbow, variously blended,and corn bined; all are beautiful. Then the sun pours down upon it a flood of glory by day, and the moon mantles it with a silver radiance by nighti and oh, is not the canopy beautiful when it is scintillating, with its millions of stars? And there is much of moral beauty in this much abuaed world of 'oars, meagre all that the bigot and the cynical philoso pher many say tothe contrary. See, for instance, maternal love strong as death, bendingoVer the cradle of infancy, and the couch of affiietion;Ysei hearts united by_ mutual affection reciprocally sus taining each other through long years of trial and suffering; see, in short, amidst the darker aspects of human life, on which gloomy theologians are wont to dwell, here are transpiring a thousand scenes to engage the approving. notice of allvseeing Heaven. Yes, this is a beautiful world.—Rev. G. Rogers. married. On Tuesday morning, July 10, by Rev. Andrew Black Mr. CHAU= R. Patrusom of this city, to Miss Prwssaesu daughter of James Gormlyi Esq.
