oats, hay and straw for the one, andbrcad
and meat and vegetables of every:kind for
the other. These agricultural products
were purchased and consumed, and this
made up nearly the whole price of the
igon wliicli the manufacturer received apd
paid’ over to the farmers again and again,
as often as the process ‘was repeated.—
Well, is not iron made in England of the
some materials that it is made of here’!
Certainly: then is not four fifths of the
value of British iron made up of British
agricultural produce’! And if we purchase
nine millions of dollars worth of British
itron a year, do we not pay six or seven
itn=i-lli=orrs of this sum for the produce of
British farmers—.grain, hay, grass, bread,
meat and other provisions for man and

Virginia (Mr. Bayly) to say ifthis was not
true to the letter. He challenged him ‘to
deny it, or disprove it if he could. 'l he
gentlt-man’s plan was to break down these
great and growing markets for our ' own
farmers, and give our markets to the Brit-
ish; and yet heprefessed to be a friend to

more on this topic. Secretary Walker in-
forms us that the present duty on iron is 75
per ct. which he would reduce to 30 per ct.
to increase the revenue! To do this, must
he not then double the imports of iron '1
Clearly he must. Then we must add ten
or twelve millions per year to our present
imports ofiron,and of course destroy that
amount of our domestic supply to make
room for Thus, at a blow, in the single
article of i‘ron',.t'his bill is intenled to de-
stroy the American markets for at least
eight millions of dollars worth of domestic
agricultural produce to be supplied from

attempted to be imposed upon this coun-

Let them do it, and in less than two years
there will not be a specie paying bank

the political revolutions of that period.

(OPINIONS AT" WASHINGTON.
A \Vashington correspondent of the J ournal of
Commerce, who writes with an air of confidence
and probability, holds the following language in
reference to the movements of the army, under
date of the 12th inst :
The news from the seat of war, though
not wholly uexpccted, has produced here
much sensation.
lti is-not! yet .understood whether the
goverriment and military men will consid-
er it as an earnest of speedy and easy con-
quest, and a confirmation of the opinion
that this war will be a “short war.”,-
The victory is a brilliant orig, and cov-
ers with glory our officers an men, not
only of the regular army, but of the volun-
teers—which last species of force seem to
have been very efficient on this accasion.

THE LATE STORM. ,
The following account of the gale in N. Y. is
from the Tribune of the 14_tli:
Our city was visited by a very violent
gale from the south east, accompanied with
rain, about 4- o’clock yesterday afternoon,
which lasted some two hours. \Ve liardly
remember to have witnessed ‘a fierce!‘
storm.‘ We hear that a large nurnber of
chimneys were blown down in drflerept
parts of the city. Several fine trees in
Chamber st. and the Park, and we presiirrie
in other parts of the city, were also leveled
with the grouud——soine broken, and others
turned up:by the roots. Many of the .lat-
ter miglit probably be still saved, by being
properly raised up and re-set. The awn-
ings iii the city have suffered severely,
particularly those on streets running east
and west.
Our reporter who hasjust returned from
a survey of the ground, informs us that the
canal boat New York, at Pier No. 2 East
River, loaded with rye and mixseed, and
another new canal boat (name unknown)
at the same Pier, laden with cheese and
flour, were both sunk during the gale.
'1 he scliooner Oliver H. l‘eri_v, lying be-
tween two vessels at pier No. 7 N. River,
was so jammed and injured in her upper
works as to cause her to leak badly.
About a dozen of the beautiful trees on
the Battery have been blown down, and
the ground is strcwn with branches of
trees in every direction. We fear this
gale has proved disastrous to the shipping
along the coast. Vessels coming down the
New Jersey coast could hardly avoid go-
ing ashore.
Capt. Bacor, of the 'Worcester, reports
the gale very severe at New London and
its vicinity, and that the tide rose very
high. _
The road from \Vorcester and Norwich
was obstructed at many places, by trees
that had been blown down acrossthe track
and which had to be cut away. After the
train had passed three miles this side of
Norwicli, toward .-'\llyn’s Point, the track
was found to be impassable, and the train
returned to Norwich.
At Norwich, the tide. in consequence of
the storm, rose so high as to wash away
part of the embankement of the extension
road, between Norwicli and Allyn’s Point,
but the damage is not serious.
The Baltimore American speaking of
the gale says, at the intersection of Sec-
ond st. and the Falls the water rose above
the level of the sewers leading into the
Falls, overflowed Second st. and ran into
the Marsh market space, filling all the cel-
lars in the vicinity. Concord st. was also
inundated.
The wharves at the City Block and
along Fcll’s Point were also overflowed,
and some damage done to vessels lying at
the latter place, from being driven against
each other by the force of the wind.
The Philadelphia railroad between FL-ll's
Point and the Canton Depot was inundated
for near a quarter of a mile, and a portion
of the embankment in the vicinity of Har-
ris’s creek washed away.
Several of the posts of the Magnetic
Telegraph, which passes along the railroad,
have also been prostrated, and the corn-
municatiori between New York and Phila-
delphia is consequently suspended.

ing, the steamer Cambridge, Capt. Turner,

O I
the south east, which had driven in the
water from the buy, the highest river tide‘
known in the memory of man, took place
yesterday afternoon in the river Delaware.
Very many of our wliarves were flooded,
though we are glad to say but compara-
tively little damage has occrued, owing to
the fact that the rise was gradual.
The bark Levant hrok her moorings and
drifted into the ship Republic, injuring
the latter vessel and -very irrtrterizilly iri-
juring herself, having been atliwart-liawse
for some time.
The hulk Harriet carried l1(?l‘ffl$l(3lIltlf_,1':-,
and in drifting with the current, ran foul
of the Havuiina packet brig Eliz:ibetli,.¢-.ar-
rying away her bowsprit, monkey rail, and
doing other damage.
The Sardiirian l-rig Penguin and the
bark Ohio severally experienced durnage.
A sloop, schooner, and two large barges
were also sunk, the names of \\‘lllL‘ll we
were unable to learn.
The steaml-oat John Stevens, with her
passengers from New Yorl-', was obliged
to remain at Camden for some time ere
the ferr boats could cross.
Several small boats, including two sail-
ing yaclits,were among the missing, having
been upset.
\Ve are not advived of the loss of any
lives.
The Rail Road BN1/ge.——\Ve regret to
learn that damage was done to ilielluil
Road Bridge at Enfielrl, to considerable
exien'. The entire woorl work was lifted
from the piers by the wind, and now lies
in the river on the upper side. The piers
are not atall injured.
We understand that for the present
passengers will cross the river by ferry at
Warehouse Point, and thence be taken in
stages to the rail road track, a distance of
about ii mile and a quarter.—Hart. Courier
of '1'/iur.s-clay."
S1'clrncss.——It seems to be the general
opinion, that there has never been a more
sickly season throughout the west than
the one just closing. Very few families
have escaped. The effect ofsuch a gene-
eral prostration has and will seriously af-
fect the public ivelfnre. Large quantities
of wheat have been spoiled in consequence
of positive inability to have taken care of
it. We have seen immense stacks in which
the straw had rotted and the grain sprout-
ed. Individuals will lose largely in this
way. But besides this, we are told that in
many neighborhoods planting for next
yenr’s crop has been prevented, and that
many farmers will not average one acre of
wheat next, for three this season. Tlie
weather still continues as warm and‘ dry
as mid-suinmer, though we have had slight
frosts.-—IndianopoI-is rS'entz.'ncl, Oct 12.
- F/toclring.—-'l'lie N0l'\\'lCl1 Courier of
yesterday says that the daughter oflacob
\Vt-lden of Greenville lost her life on the
day previous in one of the factories in the
following shocking irianiier: She was
standing combing her hair near to an up-
iiglit shaft, when the hair coming in con-
tact “llll the shaft was suddenly wound
round it, tearing the scalp from her head
and breaking her neck, thus causing instant
d.-all).

shot, as allerlgcd, by Mr. Win. ll. Meyers,

route to \Vasliiregton. In such an event,
litile delay (at the worst) can be occasion-
ed; and even that little time can be use-

S57zgula." Sea Fig/;t.—On board the l"c:i-
cock they witnessed a sea fight between a
Wllflle and one of its enemies. The sea
was quite smooth, and offered the best
possible view of the combat. First, at a
distance from the ship, a wlrnle was seen
floundering in a most extraordinary way,
lashing the smooth sen into a perfect foam,
and endeavoi'ing, apparently, to extricate
himself from sornezinnoyauce. As be ap-
proached the ship, the struggle continuing
and becoming more violent, it was perceiv-
ed that a fish, apparerilly about twenty feet
long, held him by the jaw, his contortions,
his spoutings and throes betokcniug the
agony ofthe huge iiionster. The whale
now threw lrimselfat full length from the
water, with open rnontli, his pnrsucr still
linnging to his uuderjaiv, the blood issu-
ing from the wound and dying t__lic sea for
a distance around; but all his flounderings
were of no avail; his pertinncious cnciny
still rnaiutained his hold and was evidently
getting the arlvaiitage ofliini Much alarm

two months, from and after the ‘2:'itli of
September. Of course, he cannot be at
San Louis Potosi at the close ofthe month
of November.
Santa ' Ana has obtained a breathing
spell. He has now ample time aflorded
him to raise and organize the new levies.
VVith at least thirty thousand men, he will
be ready to meet our forces at San Louis,
some three months hence.
The truth is, the invading army has met
with a check—and as all judicious men
will consider it,a salutany check. Gen.
Taylor left Camargo with a force of only
six thousand troops, about one half regu-
lars. He-was-to leave a body ofmen—-say
one thousand-—at Monterey, and the same
numbeiva-trSalti.llo; and, provided no re-
sistance-slioullil be met with, he was to
reach San Louis with an army of four
thousand. He was there necessarily to be
abandoned and sacrificed—--unless, indeed.

enable him to overcome’ all-‘ the troops

vinces of Mexico: could bring against him. ,

we have is, that we inrist send fifty thou-

canal occurred‘ at Eagle Harbor last eve-
mug, which it is snpposed~wi.ll take from
ten to twelve days if iiotrlonger to repair.
TWO or three boatszwrero carried into the

offlour were seen floating aroiiud. 'l'wo
horses S\V;lll'l ashore from one of the barges.
Capt. Ferguson of the \Volcoot stated
that the first barge which broke loose, was
laden with iron, and that four men, belong-
ing to her were drowncd. The Wolcott
was on her way from Havre de Grace to
Baltimore with canal boats in tow.
VVe learn by Magnetic Telegraph from
Vvasliington that the gale and rain crim-

der water; the Canal ovcrflowed. lt was
feared that the Canal was much datiiziged.
.Alcxantlria was in :1 similar condition of
inundation.
The storm seems to have extended for
quite a distance along the coast; ir was
felt severely in Boston, but we have no
iarticulurs.
The Neivark (N. .l.) Advertiser says:
l\‘luc.li dzirnage was done in various parts
of the city. A number of houses were tin-
roofed, and seicral cliiruneys were blown
,down. A large three story brick building
‘in progress for an Exchange and Livery
Stable was greatly injui‘ed—tlie wind
struck it on the broad side ane blew down
-the greater part of the east and west sides.
The four story house 336 Broad st. was
-rinroofed and the front of the upper story
wall blown in. ,
N0. 17 l’ark place, also three brick
houses in Fulton st. were unroofed. The
roofs of two zidjoinin-1 houses were raised
several times. So u itli Gov. l’ennington’s
house on l-ligli at Peter &. l"lornton's trunk

At Jersey City, the storm was even more
disasrroris. Several vessels dragged their
anchors and went ashore. Some of the
coal barges sunk, and the tide rising above
the whurves, swept offlarge quantities of

the voice oftliut pni't_v:is autliorrttively expressed
in H Couvciitloii ofils P.cpi‘eseiit:itivcs. He do-

Mr. ‘Young has been nominated by the wliigs as

was f::Ei'l_v and honorably obtained, and it has
lienii responded to with an enthusiasni and unn-
