The Captain was convinced that the alarm was a humbug of some sort but keeping up the farce, kept up in his own impor tance. "Bring ynir guns to a level with sour breasts, and .re through the cracks of the fence," he ordered. An irregular volley was fired, which brought down a pony and a yoke of steers, haltered to their owner's carts is the road; and frightened "yellow legs" (who tad slyly taken lodgings in a little wagon) nearly to death. "Over the fence. now! floorna! my galvunt volun teers! shonted the Captain—made enthusiastic by the discharge-of the gnns. The company scaled the fence. Now charge beggonettd Hoorow!

SMITH, EDITORS PITTSBURGH, TUESDAY MAY `.!7, 1845 lam' The Gazette adepts a very convenient mode of getting clear of the trouble of apologizing for, or ex plaining its misrepresentations of, the conduct of the Rolling Mill worlvtnen who have turned out for an in crease of wages. In none of its articles on the subj, ct has it had the fairness to state what the bands really did demand, nor has it attempted to show in what their demands are unjust or exhorbitant. The work men themselves say that all they ask is a return to the wages they received before the passage of the Tariff of 1842, and as that act effected a great increase in the profits of the manufacturers, they think it not un reasonable In them to ask the same recompense for th , ir labor, that they received before the Government provided such generous protection for their employers. We stated this fact on Saturday, and ask the Gazette to do the workmen justice by stating clearly the in_ crease they demanded. He not only declines to do this, but denies in the most positive terms that their wages had been reduced subsequent to the passage of the Tariff of 1842. After this denial, it would be useless to say more to the Gazette on the subject. Its oppositiun to the hands is, we presume, on the principle of a "fair business transaction," and in jus tice treks employers, it feels bound to deny every cir cumstance that would tend to justify the conduct of those whom it has assailed. The most charitable con struction we can put on its conduct is, that it has a peculiar interest in misrepresenting the workmen, for certainly it would give such a positive denial to a very plain fact, without being impelled to it by sumo strong er muttee than its natural disposition to violate the truth—although we admit that th's disposition is almost strong enough to apologize for all the perversions it may commit. The workmen in the Rolling s , who ought to know something about the subject, say that their w a eh. tees reduced AFTER the passage of the Tariff of 1842, and they state the amount that was taken off them; the editors of the Gazette, who know nothing about the matter, say that the wages was not reduced . To substantiate their denial of what the hands as sert, we would ask them to publish a list showing the wages paid their° amnia before the passage of the present Tariff law, and the wages paid them at the time they turned out. If there ;as been no reduc tion of wages since the passe go of that law, the Ga zette will have some justification for its course, but until ilr's is shown, we are inclined to place more re liance in the word of the hottest workiegmen than in the bald assertion of the grave and reverend Deacons of the Gazette. Rtorrr.—We learn from the kmerican of yesterday that. a Committee of Councils appointed to report av to the beat mode of distributing the File Fund, recom• mend the - immediate distribution of the money in gift to the sufferers—all except the state donation which it purposes to return to the Treasury." We are truly gratified to beat that our Councilm have come to chi' ju.4 and patriotic conclusion. To dispose of the con tributionm in any other manner than a gift to the suffer ers, would be a violation of the intentions of the do null, and would subject our city to the most humilia ting reproaches from all who have contributed to our relief. The course which they recommend to be pursued with the 50,000 from the state is also highly creditable to them, and shows that in the midst of our misfortune, and much as we require relief, we have not forgotten the difficulties of our commonwealth, or our duty as citizens who feel a proper interest in maintaining her honor and integrity. The return of the $50,000 will destroy a precedent that might be u.ied hereafter to draw hundreds of thousands from the Treasury, and to justify an appruptiation of the publ.c funds in a manner that would neither meet the wishes or serve the interests of the people. All we want from the State is an opportunii) fur our people to gain by their own enterprise and industry, what they have lost by the late calamity. This they can do if the next Legislature will pass the Rail Road Bill, and open a new avenue fur the exertions of our "go ahead" community, and a new source of prosperi ty for our city and the Stale nt huge. The whole amaunt of the fire fund, from individual contributions, is now reported at $132,190 G 5. THE FATE OF A Scatotsal—The editor of the New Orleans Jeffersonian recently at Washington, was sin_ prised to find in one of the Departments the distin guished scholar and historian, Darby—n man who has contributed the riches of a aigorous and sound intellect, and the fruits of years of labor, tcm_ penance, and experience, to the litemitra of his coun_ try—a thousand dollars a year, and ten hours' labor , at seventy years of age, up four pair of stairs! What a fate fur a man of science—for a pioneer of our now mighty West—for the last link that connects the romance and adventure of an untrod wilderness with these teeming days of civilization and luxury! Mr. Darby was the editor of the Pittsburgh Advo cate ashen that journal was published by Mr. D. Wil- son, and although a man of fine talents and finished education, he failed to make hi■ great acquirements useful in the conducting of a daily paper. His fail ure in the capacity of a daily editor was an illustra tion of the fact, that it requires something more than the mere learning of the student to make a popular editor; lie must have the Anouledge that is wou by battling with the busy vvoild, and the tact that can only be acquired in the toil of a printing office. As a man of letters, Mr Darby stands high among the writers of our country, but as an editor the most charitable would not assign him a grade above medioc rity. ROBERT C. Coarrkt.r.., one of the most respected citizens of New York, was attacked by apoplexy on Tuesday afternocia, and died before night. About two hours after the fit came upon him, the Society for the Deaf and Dumb, not knowing what had happened, elected him their President. This makes five deaths, says the Journal of Commerce, among the officers of this charity, within the la,t seven months, several of them as sudden as that of Mr Cornell. They were Dr Milnor, President; Samuel Willis, Vice President; Col Stone and Dr Drake, Directors. 'The ladies who composed Prof. Silliman's late class in New Orleans, have engaged an artist of ability to take his portrait in full length. Editorial Correspondence. • ST. Louts, May 16, 1845. Dear p.-1 left New Madrid on Tuesday evening, anti arrived at Cairo on the mottling of Wednesday:— The banks of the Mississippi, all the way to St. Lou is, present, at many points, a most desolate sight.— The terriffic flood of lost year, not only carried off houses, fences, and every description of property, but covered millions of acres of excellent land, with sand to the depth of from 1 to 5 feet. thereby rendering it wholly unfit for cultivation, and driving the occupants, in bitter penury, to seek homes elsewhere. The celebrated city of Cairo is quitn as miserable a place as I had been led to believe. It is a low end swampy village, and before the door of the principal tavern, i s a beautiful pile of drift-wood. This, while it makes the location very picturesque. will afford fuel for the citizens when it gets dry, There are several persons living in flat-boats moored at the shore, who arc quite independent of the floods which so disturb the dwellers on the lend. Like the old ' sailor, they no doubt sympathise with the "unhappy folks on shore." Boarding-houses are kept in some of these boats, and I could not help thinking that if the present worthy keepers were to be succeeded by wicked people, how convenient it would be for them to rid themselves of their lodgers by throwing them overboard in the night-time. Of course, however, nobody who now keeps tavern would be guilty of suzh cruel behavior. The Edwin Niel:men was burned ar,d sank at this town, and people with a diving bell and apparatus, are engaged in bringing up her cargo frees the muddy deep. St. Leuis presents an imposing appearenee to stran gers coining up the river. The houses nn Water street are built of a very durable stone, quarried on or near the spot a here they are built. There is an hie' ed ible amount of business done here, but many prudent persons four th it too much is done. Be that as it may, St Louis seems desrined to be a great, a very great city. Steamboats arrive and depart every hour, and there were from 40 to GO at the wharf during the 36 hours I sp••nt in the town. Back from the river, in what is rolled the new town, the houses are s lendid and tastefal, the streets a r e aide, and every thing i s arrayed in the most beautiful style. The Cathedral and the Court House are very fine buildings. The wharf is narrow and steep, and utterly unEt fur the great amount of business done. The St Louis-ans are building two tremendous steamboats for the New Or leans trade. It is confidently expected by them that their new Missouri will beat the bin-boat of these waters, the J. M. WHITE. If they succeed in this, Pittsburgh must "try again,"—that's all. As in Cin cinnati, house rents beta are unreasonably high, and living is very deur. Yours, &c. • Dear P.—l took passage on Friday evening, and reached this port, tit head of navigation, on Illinois river, 300 miles above St Louis, this morning. The passage was rather a slow one. The Illinois joins the Mississippi 40 miles above St Louis, and is naviga ble for steamboats at most seasons to this place, 26Q miles. It is a sluggish stream, and there are very few improvements on its low banks, which ore cover ed with trees, grass, and underwood, dew•r to the wa ter's edge. There Are many towns on the bunko of the Illinois, and the meatiest of them are blessed with moat n.agnificent names, snch as Naples, Pekin, Havanna , Meted ()sin, &c. Many of these towns have but ten or twenty houses, and some of these are unoccupied. There are large warehouses at all of therm, at which, in the spring and winter, immense quantities of the produce of the rich country lying back of each are shipped. At Naples my attention was called to a very large and fine house on the river honk, which looked as if it were of no use whatever. On inquiry, I found it was a Railroad Depot! but there was no rood to match. It was constructed by a company that had been organized to make a rniiroad Into the interior of the State, and they built it to show the State they were in earnest, and to procure thereby a grant of money to go on with their work. Unfortunately, however, Illi nois was too poor to help this adventurous company, and they could not go on themselves—so their Depot rands a monument of the mad speculations of '36 and 1'37. At Nleredosia they have a Railroad extertlit.g to Sptingfield, forty miles back. The care are draw r. by mules, and start at uncertain times—their progress is not rapid, because some of the rails have a graceful carve, and must he held down at one end till the wheels are upon them. At Pekin (which is a considerable town) there is also a Railroad begun; it was finished, ( all except loving the rails) es far es Tremont, a dis tance of fifteen miles; the work done on it cost the state $130,000. It was sold a few months since to a citizen to whom the state was indebted, for $1,500. lie is taking up the whole concern, a.:d selling the wood and stone for building purposes; arid, it is said, will make a large peptic by the operation. Peoria is the most beautif 11 lecntien I have yet seen. It is much higher than tiny of the tow as on the Illinois river except Peru, and thete are three beautiful plains rising like terraces, in beautiful order, Lake Peoria, at the foot of which the town is situated. is a lovely sheet of water. It is about twenty miles long, and in some places '2 miles wide. Its overage depth is said to be about 30 feet. It may be called a • mere enlargement of the river, for it is both filled and drained by the Illinois. In the hunting season, this is a great country for game. At this time, the river is full of wild ducks and geese, w•ho come here to hatch and tear their young. A few weeks since, two or three persons found on one of the islands of the lake, half a bushel of wild goose eggs. These birds build their nests in stumps and knots of trees, many feet from the ground. Yesterday. we saw three or four deer standing on the hank. They looked at the boat a minute or two, and darted off into the woods. The trade of this river is very considerable, and there is an average of ton boats constantly running between St Louis and Peru. At some seasons the number is much larger. When the canal from here to Chicago is finished, ('Alen some think will he done this sum mer) the trade will be lmmen;ely increased. Peru is destined to be a great city. JET S D'EaI:DE CoLOGNl.—Willis, of the N. York Mirror, has seen in a fait hand, a new Parisian inven tion. which is likely to become very popular among the, ladies. A small slender bottle, made of some elastic substance, is so constructed that the slightest pressure of the hand sends forth a small thread-like stream of its contents in a fragrant jet. The object is to tiethis up in a baguet, and, at will, by the closing of the hand, to impregnate the flowers with fresh perfume. It gives opportunity, also for a coquettish bit of mischief, as the jet can be discharged into the face of a gentleman making olfactory approach. M ISSOURI RIVER—The Missouri river is reported to be in a worse condition now for navigation that it has been known for years before. The channel is al most formed anew and is terribly besot with snags, logs stumps, and 'and Lars. —Nor e 4;yy~ PERU, "%lay 20, 1343 Yuurs, &c SUBSCRIBERS to Bell's or Hay's Medical JOUI` nal will please mall for them at the Bookstore of Chas H Key, over White & Brother's store, No. 76, !Market street, as the subscription book was lust at the ate fire. may 23 50 Box.E.l ly S tel t C D s nril m -s iL fi L T .i crit quali fy, sale my 6 194 Liberty at. rt., .-, LA TE FROM HAYTI The Journal of Commerce learns from Captain Low, of schr.

A large number were killed and wounded on both sides. Some of the latter were brought off by the schr. The details of the battle, or which party were victorious, hai not transpired when Capt. L. left. Capt. Chase, of the brig Cruso, 10 days from Aux Cayes, states that the excitement consequent on the attempt of the ex• President to land on the Island, was somewhat abating. Over 200 persons are in pris on at Aux Cayes, on supposition of being concerned in the invasion; four of whom were tried end shot a few days previous to his sailing. IMPiRTAFT rrtull BUENOS AIRES —The Moscow arrived ut. Boston on Tuesday, with advices'from Buenos Ayres to the 211 ultimo inclusive. We give extracts from two letters containing an ac count of a victory over Rivera, and the acknowledg ment by the French Admiral of the blockade of Mon tevideo. The latter fact was mentioned as a rumor at our lust dates. BuLsos AIRES, March 31 Rivera, on the 27th inst., was completely routed by Urquiza's forces. About 1,000 of Rivera's men were killed, and 500 taken prisorets; Rivera himself esca ped with only eight men Admiral Lane, by advice of the French Chnrge d'Affaires at this place will now recognize the strict blockade of Montevideo by the Buenos Ayerian squadron. Another letter of the same date sops:—"lt is now certain that the French and English will acknowl edge the strict blockade of Montevideo. In this case we cannot see how Montevideocan hold out much lon ger." We have a copy of a government bulletin, publish ed at Buenos Ayres, crvitaininr, the despatch of Urquizu detailing the victory mentioned above. SrtAatnoATO Butiti KD.—The Cincinnati Enquirerof the 23,1 was informed by a pasqmger who came up on the new Erie the day previous that the Steamer Wal nut Hills was burned on Sunday morning last. She had been aground high and dry, at Riddle's Point, a bout fifteen miles below New Madrid, in the Missis sippi, for several weeks. When she got fast she was delivered of her cargo by the Little Pike. In pass ing, the passengers of the New Era, say, that no per son could ke seen on the Bar or on shore, which seem. rather a strange nutter as she was left in the care of three persons attached to the boat, and they ought to have been close by. The boat was owned F•y Capt. Thomas Eckert, of Cincinnati, and we understand there is no insurance upon her. Her engines, boilers &c., were soon to have been transpotted to the new Paul Janes, now building.
