NEWS FROM THE ARMY.

less than ten minutes she went down; :tearrying
With her thirty-seven 'officers and -- men.—
Forty-four were • saved, mostly through the exer

Spanish Vessels, lying at the town within a short
distance of the Somers.

blockade, and bad done more to, interrupt , the
commerce of the port than almost all the other

tablishes.' a4aper, which teems with .I.3rulletids,'
breathing anything but peace and good-will to us;
yet his correspondence wil6,Gen. Taylor is mark
ed by courtesy of expression and terms of great
respect. i:The fact is these Mexican Generals
know much.better hpr to write than to fight, and
in diplomaCy are.much an over-match for any of
our military chiefs. The paper published at San
Luis advocates the policy of maintainhig on the
part 'of Mexico, a defensive war, and waiting for
attacks in good positions, rather than advance up
on those of the U. S. Army. A policy which
they say will soot,er 'conquer a peace' with our
government than.can the force of our arms with
theirs. Half right?.
Alidshiprean Rogers, of the Somers, teas taken
prisoner while he was in a most daring manner

before the loss of that vessel. •
Advicea from Gampeachy to the 9th ultimo,
h'ave been received . at New Orleans, Biding the
details of another ot;tbjeak which had °centred
there. In an address loads Domingo Barrett
he declares that he,...v ( ields.a reluctant acquiesence
to the wishes, of his`lellow eititien,s, and presents
himself as the chief of the glorious revolution that
day commenced. The object of the outbreak was
to sunder entirely every political connexion be
tween Yucatan and the Government of Mexico.
• Private letters from Tampico state that the meta
were suffering, greatly from intermittent fevers.—
The impression, prevailed that Herrera would be
elected President of -Mexico on the opening of
Congress, and tbat.overiures for peace would be
immediately made.
A further correspondence between General Tay
lor and Santa Anna is published. Gen. Tailor's
letter concludes with a hope that the Mexican Con
gress will accept the offer of the United States,
and enter on negotiations for .the termination of
hostilities, and the -establishmenqf a permanent
peace. Santa Anna replied from San Louis. in
a courteous mariner, and in conclusion says that he
hopes the . . National Congress will - act as shall be
most conducive. to the interests of the Republic=
but, that. he believes neither Congress nor any
Mexican — will ever be'able to Icsten to any over
hres of peace, unless the National TerritorY shall
first be evacuated hy the forces of the United
States, and the hostile attitude of the vessels of
war in front of their ports be withdrawn. Until
this takes place, the nation is determined lo a de
feud, feud, every ban rd, its inch by inch.
A. passenger 9. the scbr . H. T. Johnsen, at

was made on Ta 'Pico op the 16th, by about 300

FaEk: Jore TnElyl.txurAcTont ES:—The
effects of the new Tariff upon the manufacturing
interests have already been felt to a-considerable
extent throughout the country: • The principle of
Free Trade if carried into operation; cannot fail
' to crush individual manufactures;' while large in:
corporated companies, with heavy - 'capitals, by re
ducing the wages paid to hands will be able to
,stand the pressure. - The Tariff of 1846, is 4-
cidedly a bill forthe protection and encourage.
ment of monopolies, while the act of 1812 was
designed and -intended to protect the people from
the exactions, of monopolist=, and the Competition
of Foreign Manufactures: The article which we
publish below will show to some mitent the effects
produced by the new act. • •
Max,crActonrcs.—The large estalishments are
'going on at small profits, most of therni : having
been working cotton which was purchased several
months ago, ht prices fifty per cent lower than the
present rates. ' The smaller establishments are
; most of them, however, pursuing an unprofitable
business„ articularly those which have been cooly
pelted to work cotton purchased at the present
high prices. Low tariffs will undoubtedly tend to
ccincenirate manufacturing capital in great masses
and to gradually break up the thousands oft small
establishments scattered all over the country. It
is in the Magnitude of their operations and their
hja%ycapital that the British are enabled to un
dersell-us in all 'the more costly fabrics. There
are many advantages posse'ssed by the large .es
tablishinents both in this country and Eligland
over ttl smaller, and when judici6Usly managed
the former can make higher profits than the hitter.
In the first place it is a great advantage to have
an ample -working capital when profits are small;
the raw material can be purchased when it is low
and kept en hand, and when goodsfe low they
may also lie,kept on hand until the pricesimprove.
,Then, again, the larger establishments are able td
call to their.aid the most skilful workinen and su-.
perintendents. As an illustration of. the advan
tages of a strong capital in manufacturing enter
prjz,s, we eere told by a gentleman, a year or
two since. that when the proprietors of the first
- cotton mill 'Millis town 'abandonedtheir mill and
all 11.6 , property connected with it ri) their credi
tors, sinking the whole capital, one of, the large
establishments 'in this state was in quite as bad a
siitfation, and had they not bad ample capital at
command, would have sunk in the same way.=
,The capitalists concerned in it,-however, went on
under an accumulating debt, and in eighteen
months afterwards paid all their debts and com
menced making dividendS.
At the prisent time, though all minor- under
takings.are abandoned, the great capitalists go on
quietly and .steadily with their new works, confi
dent in their ability to comihand akin : equal to
that of English, and confident, too, that even
under, the lowest tariff, the price of lahoi will gra
dually find the same levees the price of goods.
Tithe new city of Merrimac, they are expend
ing money by millions. At Springfield, a new*
company has been or pinized, as has been stated
in a paragraph already published, wh ch will ab
sorb two or three millions of capital. It is an•er
ror, We learn, in this-statement, that English cap
. italists are concerned id it, • Only one of the lead
ing men- of the company is an Englishman, and
he is. about removing to this country. One of
them in from Baltimore and one from Philadel
phia.
Pennsylvania,. it is stated that a large estab
lishment, 1 the Clintor,f Iron Works, has
been put in operation i near Pittsburg . It contains
eleven furnaces, arid will consume twelve tons of
plg iron per day in the manufacture of bar, boiler,
sheet, and all sizes of small iron. A nail factory
in one of the' wings ofthe building has eight ma
chines in „uperation., The fly wheel et the en
' gine in .iise the works weighs twenty.three
-tons, and meastires, thirty- two feet in diameter.
On the other hand, we notice in 'the papers that
, a manufacturing and calico, printiniestablishment
at W arwick, R 1 1., ma sold on Monday last for
$152,000,' which cost, a year or two since, more
than double thiesum.—Newburyport Herald.

A careful examination of the operation of the
existing Tax Laws is urged.
The Governor is in favor of such just discrimi
nating duties as may be sufficient' to sustain all
our great National interests against . injurious com

home manufacturer and producer, reasonable pro
fits on his capital, and enable him l to pay, his

individually liable for the pay m e nt of their debts.
He urges the improvement l of the' Ohio River,
from its mouth to the-City of Pittsburg.'
He alludes and concurs in the complaints that
have for Years been made by the people, of the
time consumed in the Legislature by .the passage--
of private and local bills, which greatly increase
the business, end create subjects for,repeal and
amendment. Many, laws are thus enacted which
appear to he regarded as of little comicquence or

value. •
• The numerous divorces of late yerals are dtielt
upon, and the system is deprecated, The 'Go , i,er..

dangerous tendency, and that if the poWer to, grant
them is exercised at all, a proper regard for the
public . welfare required, that. it should :be limited
to cases of extreme hardship and ungdestionable
propriety. •
Our various Ilenevolent Institutions are, adver

ferm'sylvania is in a tlourisning condition, and
the Governor. says that the 'great element of pre

is the universal education of her youth., In this,
too, she has for a number of years' advanced with

economical result is effected. The eiperiinents
were made on a hard calcareous rock, in which,
after making a circular hole in the ustmlr method,.
hydro-cholic acid and water was poured, through
a capper-funnel, three: yards long, thre e several
