=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.

wool thus invoiced were all of the quality whose

The Hon. S. HALE, 'of Keene New Hampshire,
"Manufactures benefit the farmers in this State,

AARON ERRICKSON, wool dealer of Rochester,

•
-It is a falacy that any description of wool can
be imported into this country that does not corn
pete directly with the American article. The dif
ferent grades of wool ale to minutely removed
from each other as to be imperceptible; and when
one grade is relatively higher than another, the
next grade is substituted, until the whole is brought
to a corresponding price. All the wools that are
imported into this country really at a cost of screw

that an average of nut lets than one-hull of the

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. Under it the greatest possible frauds on the
revenue ate practised, by means of double agents:

and all the proofs are easily made complete with

saw ICI samples of the large lot of Lowell wool
(lately seized by the gmernmem agents.) both in
the rough and washed state; it was fully equal to
our 30 cent blooded merino wool, and in the
grease could not loose more than 33 per cent.: a
monstrous fraud not only on the government, but
upon the growers in the country. if protection is
an item of consideration, which I conceive to be
good doctrine "
The editor of the Gazette, we think, will net
soon again venture the assertion that the wool im
ported at a duty of Jive per cenl. ad valorem, under
the act of IS-12 does not compete with the article
raised by our Farmers—be, the cannot belief e. will
again attempt to "humbug" the farmer with such
stuff on the wool question. as appeared in his paper
of Saturday morning. The statements given above

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

From the Louisville Democrat
Battle of New Orleans.
BY A MINTER OP KETertrCKY.
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.

Mr. Cook, who has . been acting as Treasurer of
the People's 'Theatre for a few days, and who is
the husband of Mrg. Cook. somewhat celebrated
as a danseuse, killed John Reeve about 9 o'clock
last evening, by stabbing him through the heart
with a dirk or dirk knife, while they were both
behind the scenes. It seems that Mr. Reeve was
prompter at the Theatre, and upon the conclusion
of the first piece, remarked to Mrs. Cook, as she
was passing off the stage, that she was "imper
fee," and added, "Why the Dila don't you study
your part?" in his OVill particular way; to which
she replied , "you had;better not insult me any mow;
for if you do, Slap your tine." "Are you in '
earnest?" said Jack, and she pasted on. In the
mean time she had Made complaint to her husband.
who left the ticket office, and going upon the stage
by the back door,. Went into Morris' rooni, where
Morris was laying upon the sofa, and walking up
to him, Morris asked him what he wanted? Cook
replied that he came in to let him know what the
proceeds of the house were. &e. 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.

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,

We think it will lie impossible for Cook to elude

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.

LORDThritoN IN HIS COFFIN

when the meting was removed, we beheld the
face of the illustrious dead,
-All cold and all serene."
'Were 1 to lire a thousand years, I should
L ever, nerer forget that moment. For years I
have teen intimate With the mind of Byron. His
wonderotts works hare thrown a charm around
my daily paths; and' with all the enthusiasm of
youth I had almost tutored his genius. With his

been familiar from my boyhood. and now, far more
beautiful, even in death. than my most riviihfancy
had ever pictured. there they lay In marble repose.
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

indeed, a melancholly joy to me to base gazed
upon the poet. Au ton Irving says of the

ages. -It was something et-en to hate seen the
dust of Byron.'

who spoke little, ai4l seemed absorbed in grief:—
lie would scarcely lallow any one to touch the
corpse; and with hilj own hands he composed the
head in its new resting place. The words, n.711y

performing his met:nu:holy duties. it was Fletch

citizen cif ; our borough. It !will be read with in-,
terest by every lover of correct principles, under'
whose observation it may fall. It is fresh' frOm
the innermost recesses of an honest heart. It is
indeed cheering to the soul of a democrat to wit
ness a noble champion this relinquishing, with
dignity and grace, the honors of an office he has
highly adorned. Our own Foster will soon return
to us crowned with laurels. In the name of the
democracy of the district,i We bid him weleonie;
and we feel that we can safely add, well done dou

course his numerous, devoted, personal and politi
cal friends may pursue in reference to the nomina

that Ilenry D. Foster is incapable of a dishonora

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.
