I =NEM The editor has not attempted to disprove a sin - gle fact above stated—fhe, it is true, points to a fact known to all. that the act of 1812 provides for a higher duty thari fire pet rem. ad valorem on very fine wool, but had not shown that we were in. . correct in the assertion that it was, in truth, the coarse imported wool, now chargeable with a duty of only fire per amt. ad valorem; that in the esstern market, competes directly with the wool raised by the great mass of ourifamiers.: Look at the facts. The whole amount of wool imported in 1815 Was 23,833,010 pounds; of this amount 23,382,097, paid under, the act of 18-12, a duty of but fire per eve r tut valm s emi under 31cF.ay's - bill it would have heel chargeable with a duty of thirty per cent., leaving to the American farmer 7 an advantage of 25 percent. in the sale of 23,382, - 097 pounds of wool. !It will therefore not do for the editor of the Gazetie to say that the 23,382,097 lbs. of wool imported ati live per tent. ad valorem un der the act of 1812 d l d not injuriously affect the American farmer, for the reason that it did not, owing to its quality, ccnne in competition with the American article. But, we have abundzince of proof on the subject , and we now respectfully ask the attention of our readers to the append4l statements of men well informed upon the subject. It will be seen that the yell condemn the five per cent provision of the Tariff of 1842. MEE MEE ERNE Hear S. RANDALL Esq., of Cortlant village. New York, an extensive wool grower, in reply to the Circular of the Secretary of the Treasury, says: • "The duty on wool, the vatue whereof at the last.port or place wheiice exported into the United States shall be seven rents or und'4 per pound,' is not, I think, I am funk aiithorized in saying, be. lieved by the roost intelligent and leading agricul turalists of this State io be sufficient, or to bear any just proportion to that yk other wools, viz: 3 cents per pound, and thirty per eentom ad valorem. If the wool thus invoiced were all of the quality whose .adinission was contemplated under the tariff act of 1842, viz: that of la quality coarser than any grown in the United States, still its admission at such rates of duty troOd prevent the extension of a brands of industry which Might be productive of wide ly diffused benefits." :). disc) Kitt - DAT: says.. • v Y ~.' ... .

The Hon. S.

All the wools that are imported into this country really at a cost of screw rents, or under. are only so imported for the reason that an average of nut lets than one-hull of the whole weight is composed of the impurities con taited in then)." L. B. LANE:WORTHS, Esq.. of Munroe county, New York, says: .The low 5 per cent: wool duty must, I conceit e. be abolished, and the higher grades reduced; it is all a sham—the plea for the admission of the cheap wool of the South American Stales for carpet pur poses.

The statements given above by men well informed on the subject, we regard as settling the question, and we hope those more di•. rectly interested :will carefully examine the facts presented. Investigation of the subject, we are welbutssured will -satisfy every man engaged in raising wool that he has safTered materially by the five per cent. provision of the act of 1842.

Just at the dawn of day—it was a foggy, hazy morning—we heard the firing of our picket guard. For an instant or two there was a confused noise all along the front of our line, as if a high Wind was rushing over a field of corn. Then there were a few dropping shots and direct volleys of musket ry, as our guard retreated. Our troops instantly run up to the breastwork, and we heard the british troops coming on, like a confused mass, and yel- linglike devils. Our regiment, the 13th, was about the centre of the line. The 11th regiment was on our left, be tween tin and the swamp, and the regulars were on the right towards the river. The Tennesseeans were scattered about among us. I don't exactly know bow. At any rate, a good many of them got Mixed up with us before the battle was over. Our company was exactly under the'leaning oak. which stood about half way between the ricer and the swamp. We were formed into sections of five deep, with order for the sections to advance and fire alternately. Capt. Farmer was that morning commander of the picket guard, and of course did not join us until the battle had commenced. During the night one of our regular soldiers had deserted to the enemy, and had given them the countersign and watch word. While on guard. Capt. Farmer, being dres ed in dark clothes, had left the guard lire, and pas sed through his own line of sentinels, approached so near that of the British that he could hear them talking, He heard them speak of the deserter, and the advantage they would have from knowing the pass-words. It didn't turn out to any advantage though, for as soon as Capt. Farmer returned they ne e changed. The British made their attack in three divisions. That next the river. after forcing the picket guard followed it into the works. I did not see this part of the attack, of course. but I heard from Captain Farmer, Jos. Smithy, [Drum Major of the regi ment] and William Reasoner, all of whom were completely mixed up with them when they came to the gate which led through the breastwork. A British soldier kept elbowing Reasoner, tern'sg him to --form—form—farm." Finding after awhile that Reasoner was an American—in the darkness it was had to distinguish friend from foe—he fired his musket at him and knocked the cock off Rea sorter's gun. At - this the latter turned, and finding the lock spoiled he clubbed his rifle and broke it over the Englishman's head. Capt. Farmer was one of the last of the picket guard that passed through the gate way: and just at that moment he noticed the watchman of the thirty-two pounder that was placed at the point brigtening his match. The Captain turned to look—and the old thirty two went off, cutting a wide lane through the dense mass of red coats that had by this time crowded up to its very muzzle. In a moment it was loaded grape and canister shot, and the Cap tain had an opportunity to see the effect of another tire just as he had turned to pass up the line and join his company. It seemed to cut another lane through the British. taking down every man within several feet of its range on either side. Still they came rushing on. A British officer jumped on the works and began spiking a cannon. I heard say it was Col. Gibbs. Ile exclaimed to his men. conic on boys. the days our own!" but just as he got the wordsout of his mouth. Joe Smithy step ped up to him.saying. "yolfre not so sure of that," and flied a pistol right in his face, Down went the officer. Fes end shots must base been fired at him at the same time, for I was told that several bullets bad passed through him before he fell. When we first ran up to the breast work, at our part of the lines, some of the men began firing, and orders were passed along rapidly. 'cease that firing.' Some said the men we heard coming were the pick et guard coming in. Col. Emily. from Baidstown. was the first one who gas e orders to fire from our part of the line—and then I reckon, there was a pretty considerable noise. There was six brass pieces just on our right. the noisiest kind of var. mints, that began blazing away as hard as they could, while the heavy iron canon towards the rib er, and some thousand of small arms. joined in the cho rus and made the ground shale under our feet.— Directly after the fire began, Capt. Patterson—l think lie was from Knox county: Kentucky, but an Irishman born—come running along. He jumped up on the breastwork. and stooping a moment to look through the darkness as well as he could. he shouted with a broad North Ireland brogue, 'shoot low, boys! shoot low! rak them—rak them! Dom them! they're commin' on there all fours! The official report says the action lasted two hours and five minutes, but it did not seem half that length of time to we. It was so dirk that little could be seen. until just about the time the battle ceased. The morning had dawned, to be • sure, but the smoke was so thick that everything seemed cos ered in it. Our men did not seem to apprehend any danger, but would load as fast as they could, talking, swearing and joking all the time. All ranks and sections were soon broken op. After the first shut. every one loaded and banged away on his own hook. Ilenry Spillman did not load and fire quite so often as sin' of the : rest, but every time he fire he would go up to the breast work, look issetuntil he could see some thing to shoot at, and take deliberate aim and crack away. Lieut. Ashby was as busy as a nailor, and it was evident that the Riser Raisin was uppermost in his mind all the time. He kept dashing about, and every now and then would call out, -We'll pay you now for the Riser Raisin, you! Well give you something to remember the Riser Raisin I' When the British had come up to the opposite side of the breastwork, having no gun, be picked up an empty barrel and flung it at them. Then finding an iron bar. he jumped up on the works and hove that at them. At one time I noticed. a little on our right, a curious kind of chap named Ambrose oth!. one of Capt. Higdon's company, and known among the men by the name of -Subtly, - standing coolly on the top of the Breastwork and peering into the darkness for something to shoot at. The balls were whistling around him and over our heads, as thick as hail, and Colonel Slaughter coming along. ordered hint to conic down. The Colonel told him there was policy in war: and that he was exposing himself to touch. Sukey turned round, holding up the flap of his old broad brim• med hat with one hand, to see who was speaking to him, 'Oh! never mind Colonel—here is. Sukey: I don't want to waste my powder. and I'd like to know• how I can shoot until I see something?..Pret ty soon after. Sukey got hie eye on a red coat, and no doubt made a hole through it for he took de liberate aim fired and then coolly canto down to load again. "Punctvaley is the Vs of busiurss. - -Col. J A 11E! R.

Cook then re ma' ked, you had better frn that prompter of your, to hey lea meth shut, r r 6111 go out of here sonic n;ght Halt his guts out:" Morris made no reply, thinking it but a momentary ebullition; and Cook went forward on the stage, where, meeting Reeve near the prompter's stand, he said to him, You have been insulting my wife again." "Don't both er me." said Rees e,; -I'M busy now;" to which Cook replied, "I'll learn you," and instantly stab bed him to the heart, Reeve made a few steps to wards the door of Mrs. Lewis's dressing room, ex claiming, "for God's :sake let ore in— I am stabbed. I atn murdered!" then falling backwards, was caught by that lady,: H ho supported him until she fainted. Reeve lingered a few minutes, the blood gushing from his bosom, is hen be expired. Meanwhile Cook walked delibeMtely out the backdoor of the stage, crying Fire, Fire, and went into the ticket office, where Mr. Snitch was counting the money. Smith seeing him extited, asked, "where's the tire' -'in the back building," said Cook. Smith snatch ed up the paper money, and ran out: Cook then pocketed the silver Money. locked the door after him as he was going out, and fled. As soon as the Officers could he rallied, they went in search of Cook, and proceeded to the house of Mrs. Carnahan, in the upper part of the city. where Cook boarded, and who is the mother of Mrs. Conk. Upon ! enquiring there they could learn nothing of hint, and after searchinp, the home they found the shirt, he had just pulled off, tinder the hydrant and the water kunuing,Lut noth ing of him. We think it will lie impossible for Cook to elude pursuit long, and we most heartily hope he may be made to answer 'the penalty of his crime Me , srs. Morris & Sinitlt, the managers. did every think in their power that the circumstances de manded. The scene upon the:stage was awfully tragic.— The dying man was weltering, in his gore—Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Foster, and Miss Rerthrt Lewis, all fainting and shrieking, while the gentlemen on the stage. without a :single exception, were in tears; and it may with truth he said, that it was the most effective tragedy ewer acted on the stage. The funeral of the murdered man took place front the Garden yesterday afternoon, and vie learn that Messrs. Morris & niith have raused an im mediate pursuit to be made in carious directions. It is hoped that a reWard will be ollered for the ap. prehension of the fugitive.

LORDThritoN IN HIS COFFIN in the month of jlulp, IF3I, the body of Lord Byron was brought from .lissolonglii to England, and on being landed from the "Florida," was re moved to the house; of `ir Edward Knatchhi P.- who then resided in!

Tl.e body was not tat tired in that most awful of habiliments—a shrink. It was wrapped in a blue, cloth cloak, and the throat and head . were uncover ed. The former was beautifully moulded. The head of the poet was corered with short, crisp curling locks slightly streaked with gray hairs; es pecially over the ternples, which were ample a n d lee front hair. as w e bee in the portraits. The face had nothing of the appearance of death about it— it was neither sunken nor discolored in the least. but of a dead marblewhiteness—the expression was that of stern quietude. How classically beau tiful was the curved, upper lip and the chin. I fancied the nose appeared as if it was not in har mony with the otherlfeatures; but it might possibly hare been a little disfigured by the process of em balming. The forehead was high and broad, in deed the whole head was extremely large—it must hare been so, to hUln contained a brain of such ca pacity. "But what struck, me most was the exceeding beauty of the profile, as I observed when the head was lifted. for the purpose of adjusting the furniture. It was perfeet in his way, and seemed like a pro duction of Phidias. Indeed, it far more resembled an exquisite piece of sculpture than the face of the death—so s'ill, so sharply defined, and so marble like in its repose. I caught the view of it but for a moment. yet it waS long enough to have it stand upon my memory as A thing, of beauty which poor Keats tells us in 'a joy fur c%er.• It is indeed, a melancholly joy to me to base gazed upon the poet.

The words, n.711y de,ir lord !• were fre,Pomtly uttered by him. whilst performing his met:nu:holy duties. it was Fletch er—Byron's faithful, valet.

Id Wilson , riptig WILSON PILLS, as a' remedy peculiarly adapted for headaches and dyspeptic affections, are pretty generally known and esteemed in this community; and the proprietor, BO Often_ as he has occasion to write- or speak of them, can scarcely re frain from an.expression of his grateful acknowledg ments to his friends for their patronage and kindness to him, His feelings are the warmer from observing the "beginning and the ending"—thrown almost'irt juxtaposition—of so many nostrums and kindred pre parations equally lOud in their pretensions, and much more industriously presented to the public; while his preparation noiselessly advances, even to remote places, soothing and comforting the afflicted; and permanently grafting itself upon the affections of new friends, thus continually widening the circle of its usefulness. Although well satisfied that his medicine has, as it Were, a principle of perpetuity in it, yet he is obliged to his friends for the most sub stontial evidence - of the-fact. In its natural history, if you please, the Wilson Pill differs from most other preparations in not being originally made for sale, or with a view to pectutiary profit; while as every body knows a the greatest tyro (as a general thing) no sooner - begins to dabble in drugs than lie casts about for some cheap prepari , Lion, or mist 'get up,' as the phrase is, something—' anything that will sell. Often he attempts it under an assumed or fictitious name, as though conscious his own were insutficient - to sell it. The. difference then between the Wilson Pill and the preparation:ll have just indicated, Would appear to be this: The consciousness of, the value of ray pill originated - the idea of putting them on sale for money„ - and at a price. The consciousness of the value of money originates in most instances the many prepaiations I have alluded to; and the price most likely 'to take' is always first carefully considered, and the pill or other preparation made and graduated to suit it. The one is a DISCOVERY, and comes from the great Arcana of Universal Nature; the other a trick or invention, and comes from a not very popular quality of Ism vrnuAL Nature. Reader! the difference here is great. In one instance the value attached to the pru, is the starting point; in the other, the raots - tv. But it is not probable that some of the many prepam tionshaving even such paternity were accidentally good, but that possibly by this process of "getting up" as they call it, by puffing and.. blowing, as we clean wheat, they have been "got u r too high he fore their specific gravity had been carefully ascer tained, and have blown off never to .be heard of, with other chaff—some lighter, some heavier. Whatever may be the rationale; I must repeat it; that I am most profoundly thankful to my friends for their discrimination -in not consigning my discoVery.to that compenduous category of "inventions that did not answer"—of "tricks that won't win..." The Wilson Pills are useful as, a GENERAL remedy, and may be kept and taken, in proper doses, in fam ilies, as a preventative of general ill health; or dis ease of whatever name, by any member of the fam ily, without any. tear of the consequences of enc..; sure in theordinary peranitivit business.' igrThey may always be had in 'any quantity of the proprietor, in Penn street, beldw Marbury, and of the principal Druggists of this city and Allegheny. jy22-d&w7m N°TIC E—The co.liartnershlp of Holdship Browne being dissolved on the 28th day of April last, by the decease of M.
