Lov of. Woman
.
There is no trait of reeling in the character of
woman, so beautiful and heavenly as the strong, un
failing attaehmenqw hich she exhibits fbr her hus
band ; under every degree of disgrace and even
neglect, abuse and violence. It belongs not exclu.
sively, to any class, although, indeed, it is more of
ten seen among the humble and the lowly. Though
guilt may throw h r dark cloud' around him, and
-the world point the finger of scorn and shame; yet
she is but the tr er and kinder, and clings with
stronger affection to him whom she has promised to
love through weal or woe. A case happened at the
State Armory last week, which, though amueirg,
bears strong testimny to what we have said above.
'One of the guard ad offended repeatedly, but us
i i
often pardoned front the pleadings of his wife, a
very handsome, intOligent and industrious woman.
Whether her beaur, however, had any potency in
softening the heart of that worthy and &hurt Cap
tainove are not prepared to state. But last week
he offended again, ao grossly,-that it became neces
sary to punish hint severely, and he was sentenced
by a court martial to have his head shaved close, and
drualmed out of tbt grirrition. The wife came and
importuned and be ged incessantly for his pardon,
and in particular t at his head should not be shaved;
but it could not b granted and the poor woman
went avilay deer& distressed. At noon time, all
preparations beingready, the man in presence of an
immense crowd, was drummed out to the tune of
the 'rogues march,' rendered much more an object
of ridicule by his .bare and shining pelt, which had
been shaven close,/ and glittered like the pate of a
man ninety yearsef age. As he came out among
the .crowd , an objdct of laughter and jeers for all,
his wife rtiahe,d forward, and in a moment turned
the tide of feelmg; Ily covering his head with a wig
which she had purqhased probably with her last dol.

tr iumph.—Riehmond Whig.

would come and seat h rself upon the bedside, and

peration, by giving an old, one-sided correspondence
between' Gen . Harrison and Col. Croghan—had a: a
time when there was some misunderstanding between
these brive men. The spoilers hunt up the old cor
respondenee, and publish one side—perhaps rather
Part of one side of it, with a-forlorn hope of injuring
Gen. Harrison, by shewing that Croghan bad felt
some diSsatisfaction with his report of El battle ! Now
hear Colonel Croghan himself speak, and let the
spoilers who have cited him as a Witness, forever af
ter bold their peace!
The St. Louis Bulletin of Oct. 6, contains a copy
Of a letter addreised by Colonel Samuel. B. Churchill
of that city, under date of Sept. 26, to Colonel 0.
Croghan; with r Col. Croghan's reply, under date of
Oct. 6, in reference to Croghan's opinion of the skill
and bravery of Harrison. In his letter to Croghan,
Col. Churchill says :
At Tippecanoe you were one of the Aids of Gen.,
Boyd, and performed a glorious part in that, as well
as in'other bard fought Nettles, which have added to
the fame and honor of our country. I should be
pleased to know if on that occasion, or a) any time
during the war, Gen. Harrison shoyed 2 .-Einy want of
bravery ;and further, if the ground selected for the
encampment of his troops at Tippecanoe was inju
diciously or improperly chosen,/
During the war, sir, you performed a most distin
guished part, and your najrle will always be associa
ate with its most brillint achievements, as long as
there is left one American heart to admire your gal
lant and glorious defence of Sandusky. You have
bad as good an opportunity to form a correct opinion
of the courage and conduct of Gen. Harrison, as any
other officer, and I. should be pleased to have your
opinion upon these matters.
Respectfully, yours,
SAML. B. CHURCHILL.
To this letter the following is the reply of Colonel
Croghan:
ST. Louts, Oct. Bth, 1840
'COL. 011URCUILL.—In reply to your letter of the
26th ultimo, I can only state, Oat the publication of
the letters to which you allude was not authorized by
me, and that I never during the whole war saw Gen.
Harrison at any time show any want of courage. On
the contrary
t ,I have every reason to believe him a
bravo man. Upon the receipt of yours, I addressed
a letter to. Gen. Gaines, with whom I held frequent
conversations years ago, and the following letter of
his containt♦ the opinions which I then entertained
and which I still retain.
Respectfully,
The letter of Major General Gaines, alluded to
above,and which accompanies that of Col. Croghan,
in the St. Louis Bulletin, is too long fo'r insertion to
day. But the following extract from this letter; one
should think, might settle the question ! In addres
sing Col, Croghan under date of Oct. 2, 1840, Gen.
Gaines says:
In reply to my enquiries respecting Gen. Harri
son's plan of operations at Tippecanoe, you replied
• that the selection of his position was the best to be
found - near the place of encampment, that his forma
tion of the different corps of his army in the encamp
ment, was niade with a view to hold every officer
and every man ready for action upon the ground
where they slept. That Gen. Harrison's vigilance
had previously been the subject of remark and ad
miration•among the troops, and it was that night in
creased. That you had several opportunities of seeing
him in the fore part of the night, and at or near the
time the battle commenced. That you saw him fre
quently in the course of the battle, and heard him
Wing his orders, and with great distinctness anima:-
ting his troops--and that no man could have been
more collected or fearless in battle than Harrison was
upon that occasion."
• What now, will the spoilers say of Col. Croghan?
FOREIGN ARTICLES.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Increase of British manufactures. Two or throe
years ago, the government inspectors of factories pub.
lished returns Of the number of mills in the United
Kingdom, and Of the bands employed in them during
the year 1825. Similar returns for the year 1838,
kid before parliament in the past session, have been
recently printed. These two volumes afford the means
of contrasting the condition of their manufactures in
1835 and 1838:
• Of cotton factories there were—,
In 1835 1,262, employing 220,134 hands.
In 1838 1,315, employing 259,301 do.
Of woollen factories there were—
In 1835 1,313, employing 71,274 bands.
In 1838 .1,738, employing 86,446 do.
Of flax factories there were—
,. In 1835 1 347, employing 33,283 hands.
In 1838 1 392, employing 43,487 do.
Of silk factories there were—
In 1835 238, employing 30,682 hands. r
In 1839 268, employing 34,318 do.
It thus appears that, during the three years refer
red to, nearly one thousand new factories have been
opened, and more than sixty-eight thousand new
bands engaged'. As will be seen horn the following
table, more, than one-half of the nee hands have been
absorbed by the cotton manufacture : • .

Iran and manufaciures of Iron
liiiported in 1839.
As'the manufacture of Iron by Anthracite .is at
the present moment, ttracting much attention both
here and in Europe, we have thought it would be
interesting to know for how much of the iron used
in this country, we 'have depended on foreign na
tions: For this purpose we hate formed the follow.
ing table of the iron and manufactures of iron and
steel, imported in the United States in 1939, amoun
ting to nearly 13 millions of dollars. It is well
known that many of the articles enumerated in this
table, are manufactured to a considerable extent in
this country also, to what amount we have no means
of ascertaining as yet, although we trust the cer.sus
will enable us to obtain further information.

. Forthcoming Farthey Address—lt is said that
President Van Buren, following in the footsteps of
his illustrious predecessor, intends to favor the X.
merican People with a " Farewell Address," on !Ire
9th of March next. It may be so. One thing how.
ever, is certain, and that is, that the farewell address
of Martin Van Biren, will be the address of the best
omen to the people of the United States, of any ad.
dress which has ever yet emanated from the same
quarter. Politically speaking, he cannot take too
long a " farewell" for the real interest and claarac
ter of the country.
[Prom Hie New, York Commercial Advertiser.]
One of the greatest improvements in
Steam navigation is the introduction pf the
wrought iron shaft, which is now generally,
if not altogether, used in Great Britain. Of
the multitude of boats running in the waters
of the United States, we know of only one
that has a wrought iron shaft, and that one
is the floating paiace called the Burlington,.
Capt. Sherman's boat, on Lake Champlain.
This shift was imported from Scotland. It
is with us an almost every day occurrence to
hear pf the breaking of the shaft of some
steamboat, and when this is the case it is
generally followed by the breaking of other
parts of the machinery, lo the amount, fie- ,
quently, of some thousands of dollars, and
the detention of the boat. Under these cir.,
cumstances, we rejoice to learn thatete lead.
ing proprietors of steamboats in Canada have
determined to, introduce the wrought iron
shafts, and we understand that the only rea
son why they hrive not :teen -brought into
use in this country- was the want of mach'.
nery to make them. That difficulty no lon
ger exists.. 7 Yesterday we accepteiraminvi—
tation to visit the iron works of Mr. 4. B.
Ward, at the foot 'of 59th Street, on the
North Riier. Here we spent some time in
seeing the process of manufacturing a shaft,
which Is twenty-three feet Aro inphes long,
and in the manufacturing of which six thou
sand pounds of iron have beep used. The.
shaft will be finished in the course or the
night, s and will then weigh upward of four
thousand pounds. The material used is the
