LATEST FROM THE RIO GRANDE.
The steamship New ork arrived late
last evening ftom Brazos Santinifo. whence
she sailed on the Bth instant. By her wo
have later intelligence from the Army,
but of no very Rreat importance, althotigh
interesting. We learn from a passenger,
who left (Jamargo on the 4th instant, that
the companies of Texan Rangers, com- j
rnanded hv Captains McCulloch and Gil
lespie, were to stmt that day for Micron
a scent, with orders to take and hold that
point if possible.
The regiments of Mounted Hangers,
under Cols. Mays and Woods, at Reyno
so, were under orders to proceed to Li
nares and .Monterey and take possession
of those points. Gen. Taylor passed no :
the river to Revnosa on the sth hist., on r
the steamboat Ilatchce from Malamoros.
The U. S. Dragoons were at camp near
IVI >i ta morns.
Gen. Taylor had issued orders, forbid
ding the sale ofspiritons liijuors in the
city, or permitting them to be brought up
the river. lie started from Malamoros
early on the morning of the sth, with a
portion of the Texan infantry.
l ire Malamoros Flag, of the 6(fi inst.,
states that a tight had occurred between
a party of Camanchec Indians and Mc-
Culloch and Gillespie’s Rangers, near !
Camurgo. The former numbering about i
(it);), and liie Rangers eighty. About j
twenty Indians were killed and hut two
Rangers —the latter bringing olf one hun
dred and fifty horses.
A man named Jack Haynes, better
known as Col. Jack Haynes, a wild
barum-scarum sort of a follow, was killed
cn the slh inst. by a Texan named Mc-
Canan.
{Editorial Correspondence of the Picayune.]
Matamohos, Aug. 4, 1846.
Gen. Taylor and staff leave here to-day
for Camurgo, and all the troops are to
leave h\’ about the 10th instant. Gen’l.
Twiggs is left to superintend the move
ment of the troops now hero and those
that are to arrive, for a while at least.—
He is in excellent health, and was never
looking better. Col. Clark of the Bth In
fantry will lie left at this place in com
mand, after all the troops have been for
warded, and will have two companies of
artillery and one regiment of volunteers
under him. Gen.'Twiggs, with Captain
May’s four companies of dragoons, and
Capt. Ridgely’s battery of artillery, will
bring up the rear ns the army moves
forward. Col. Hays’regiment of mounted
volunteers and Col. Johnson’s regiment of
foot—Texans —are to march to-morrow.
The “Gaines Rangers” have joined Col,
Hay’s regiment, and will leave with it.
Ail the regular troojs now remaining
bore, except Capt. May’s and Ridgeley’s
commands, are also ordered to march to
morrow. It is expected that the army
will not move from Camargo before the
25th inst. I do not choose to express an
opinion on the probability of another fight
with the Mexicans, but I know it is thought
by many who " ill have a great deal to do
in the matter if one occurs, that a fight,
and a hard one at that, is before them.
One thing is very certain, and that is,
every body here, except the Mexicans,
want at least one more “shako” with the
followers of Paredes, or whoever may be
the leader of the Mexican army.
Matamohos, August 5,184 G.
I wrote you from this place yesterday,
giving you what information I had of the
.-movements of the army. I have one or
two additional items of army news which
I may as xvell send you. 1 told you that
Col. Havs’s Texas regiment of mounted
men, which I shall accompany, would
march to-day. Owing to the non-arrival
of his tents, which have beer, sent for at
Point Isabel, he cannot leave before to
morrow or the day after, but by tliq, latter
time the regiment " ill move. It does not
proceed, as 1 understood it would, direct
for Camargo, but will go towards Tampi
co into the interior and join the main
army in a few weeks as Camargo. It
is the settled opinion of all here that Hays
will meet a strong force of Mexicans on
his route and of course have a tight.—
Gen. Taylor, it seems, intends giving the
Rangers' a chance “on their own hook"
to get into a “scrape” and then get out of j
it as best they may. The regiment, 1
learn is about TOO strong.
And so the Louisiana volunteers have
been disbanded? Rut they have not all
gone home. J meet several of them daily
who say they will not go until they have
had a fitilit. Numerous attempts have
been made to re-organize companies of
those thus disposed. All the companies
that can be raised will he accepted. Capt.
Blanchard has already succeeded in
forming one company numbering 79 rank
and file. T hey are appropriately styled
the “Phoenix Company.” Another corn
pany, under Capt. Smith, I learn will lie
filled and mustered into service to mor
row. I hope Louisiana, after all, will
have some representatives on the field of
battle, if tiie Mexicans are brought to an
| other contest.
Yours, &c., F. A. L.

THE NEW TARIFF.
; We h ave already shown the oppressive
bearing of the system of mini-munis, and
of specific Julies upon articles not of uni
form value, by compelling the poor, and
men in moderate circumstances, to pay
much higher duties in proportion to the
value of the articles they consume, than
arc paid by the licit. By flie usual modes
of taxation, all pay in proportion to their
property; John Jacob Astor, say $150,-
009 per annum, and the poor man noth
ing, for he has no property. But because
the poor man has a stomach, as well as
Mr. Astor, and like him must he clad, and
like him must provide for ijjs famil v ;
because he is obliged to n
with an inferior quality of good*, ihe
minimums and specific duties tax him jiM
as much on that inferior quality as they
do Mr. Astor on life best. It is undoubt
edly true, that many-a£um not worth
SIOOO in the world, pax’s more for the
support of the national government, than
Mr. Astor with his $25,000,009. But
tliis is not the worst of the case. If the
poor man only paid taxes to the govern
ment, even though out of all proportion
compared with the rich man, his patriot
ism might render it tolerable. Bui what
if he were obliged to pay a large part of it
to the rich? to the manufacturers, who
out of his ha id earnings, and those of
others like In'mT'lra, ve made their fortunes
in a year, and are living in splendid
palaces while he pines in a hovel? What
would human nature say-ffo 4nis? Yet it
is exactly what is passing?figure our eyes
every day and moment. By subjecting
foreign articles to extravagant duties,
tLOV are eillior exclude*l cnlll 61 y, or
greatly enhanced in juice. Both these
things together, constitute what is called
“protection.” By enhancing ihe [u’ice of
the foreign article, the ptice of the domes
tic article with which it comes in compe
tition, is also enhanced; and thus, while
i consumers are [laying one dollar to the
government, they are paying another dol
lar, or it may be, two, three, or five del-
Dues, to the manufacturers or producers
of the competing article. It is not pre
tended that the jirice ofthe domestic arti
cle is enhanced in precisely the amount
of the duty on the foreign article; for swell
is not commonly the fact. Various col
lateral circumstances come in, to modify
the result. It is sufficient for our present
purpose to say, that after an elaborate in
vestigation, with all the heljis which his
official station gives him, tile Secretary
of the Treasury, Mr. Walker, —a clear
headed, intelligent, and candid man, —
states, that on sixteen articles which he
specifies, viz: iron and the manufactures
thereof, —the manufactures of tobacco,
cotton, wool, and leather, —coal, salt, su
gar, molasses, paper, cordage, cotton bag
ging, hats and cajis, straw hats, bonnets
and braid, and earthen-ware, —the annu
al production of which in the U. Slates is
$331,198,859 in value, —the enhanced
price to consumers in consequence of the
Tariff of 1842, if equal to the duty on
the foreign articles with which these com
pete, would he $119,770,598; and is in
fact, according to the best light he can
obtain, $75,784,405. Tin’s enormous
sum, according to Secretary Walker’s
calculations, is ju»iJ to the manufacturers
and producers of the said sixteen articles,
hv their fellow citizens the consumers, in
raising a nett revenue for the government,
(after deducting $1,304,163 expenses of
collection,) of only $17,032,289. The
process by " hicb the Secretary arrives at
these astounding results, and many ofthe
details of that process, are contained in
his recent Report to the Senate, made in
compliance with a resolution of that body,
—and the accompanying tables.
The positive or actual addition to
' the price of the domestic articles, says
Mr. Walker, “is based upon prices cur
rent and sales, and upon the actual dif
ference in price ofthe foreign and domes
tic article in our own markets arising
from the Tariff. This is founded upon
actual sales at home and abroad, a com
jiarison of the foreign and domestic prices
current, including the charges and trans
portation of articles, together with num
erous invoices based upon actual impor
tations and sales, and furnished hereto
fore by merchants of the highest charac
ter. Whenever any difference xvas pre
sented in comparing these data, the low
est sum has invariably been taken.”
Admitting that the Secretary’s calcula
tions are correct, or any thing like cor
rcct, can any body wonder at the pros-
I- —n mw-1 rani
pol ity of the manufactures and iron men,
or at the comparative depression of other
interests, especially that greatest of all in
terests, the agi (cultural. Taking human
nature as it is, and not as il ought to he,
can any body wonder that the classes first
mentioned should be reluc'ant to jia rt wi h
any ponionof their $75,000,009 bounty
per annum, (or 850,000,000 if this amount
is preferred.) and cry Ruin, Ruin, Fire,
Blood, and Murder, if the “deed should be
consummated!”
Now bear in mind that a large part of
this $75,000,000, or $50,000,000, is paid
by men in moderate circumstances, who
are scarcely able to make the ends of the
year meet, and paid to men (in numerous
cases) of splendid fortunes, derived from
this long continued, hut half-concealed
oppression, and you have the case a little
as it presents itself to our own minds.
Is not, then, a law which removes the
grinding inequalities of the Tariff of
1842, by abolishing minimums and spe
cific duties, and which diminishes the ex
cessLvc burdens borne by the masses for
the benefit of a comparatively small p.or
, tion ofthe people, a public blessing? And
ought it not to he welcomed by every man,
whether a manufacturer or not, who loves j
justice more than wealth drawn from the
pockets of ilieir fellow citizens without an
equivalent? Surely it ought; or our moral
(tercejitions are strangely bewildered.
Complaint has been made that dye- j
stuffs and rawjpnateritfh} used in manu
facturing, are subjected to a duly under
the new Tariff. On examination, we find
f that almost" the whole class of dye-stuffs, \
excejfljk^io,are assessed at five percent,
on and no more, indigo, the !
most important of all tiie dyes, pays ten 1
per cent duty, while tinder tiie 'Tariff of
1842 it jiaid six cents a j>ound. Five per j
cent, duty is little more than nominal; yet !
wc should he quite willing that it were
wholly dispensed with in reference to dye
stuffs. It will not amount altogether to
$25,000 a year; yes it enables the man
ufacturers to cry persecmi&n, as-df Ukey
were ever to pay any thing, from their '
own business, towards llie support '
govet nment!
Then, again, it is said, the manufac
turers are oppressed by an increase of the
duly on coarse wool. the tariff of
1842, wool costing not exceeding 7 cents
a pound at whence imported,
was charged xvflli only s'per cent, duty,
while wool costing more than 7 cents a
[)ourfd, xvas subject to a duty of three cents •
a jiound and 30 [ter cent, ad valorem.
Now the fact is, that under the 5 per cent, i
duty, immense quantities of wool were irn- i
[lot ted — about 13,000,000 lbs. in 1845
and it was found that a good deal of it
xvas so fine, (owing to a change in the
breed of the flocks,) as to come in compe
tition with our oxvn wool-grovvers. With
this view, no doubt, wool being about the
only agricultural article which il is possi
ble to protect, the duty on all wool was
fixed in the nexv Tariff at 30 per cent. If
the carpet-men are displeased at this, they
must settle the question with the farmers.
The former are few in number, the latter
are hundreds of thousands.
The iron men are favored with a duty
of 30 per cent, under the new bill, which,
at the present [n ice of iron in Europe, will
give them an ample protection. Some de
cline from the extravagant prices of iron
abroad is to be expected; but such is the
increase of consumption, for rail toads,
ships, roofs, and a thousand other things,
that the jirice is likely to continue high
fora long time to come. Manufactures
of wool not otherwise provided for, are
; subject to 30 per cent, duty, manufac
tures of cotton 25 per cent. All this is
well.
What the manufacturers, merchants,
and olliers, now have to do, is, to adapt
themselves and their business, as soon as
possible, to the new state of things. Sta
bility is what they all need, more than al
most any thing else. That can now he
had, if wanted. The free trade men will
be content to leave the “Tariff as it is,”
for a longtime to come. At least, such
is our.impression and belief. It xvas idle
to suppose that a Tariff so exorbitant as
that of 1842 could be permanent:—the
light of the age forbade it. No Tariff
can long endure, except a moderate one.
Tiie days of restriction are numbered,
j The world is becoming free. 'Tiie nexv
Tariff is a public, official expression of
that fact. Success to it, and to the coun
try!
[ From the N. O. Picayune , Aug. 13.]
THE DEAD AND BURIED.
A case has quite recently been brought
before one or two of the courts in this city,
which has developed proceedings of an
extraordinary character and bared as
deep laid a scheme of villany as the je
suitical Rodin, of Eugene Sue, could ever
have conceived. A plot of the most dia
bolical character, conceived with the most
consummate ."kill and executed xvith an
adroitness in all its minutiae, that would
startle the most audacious. And at the
bottom of it all, the prime mover and actor,
was a woman. What a woman could be
capable of that could devise such a plan,
it is almost impossible to conceive—that
she must be a person of extraordinary
abilities, in one respect at least, none can
doubt.
It appears from a petition filed before
Judge Preston, that in the year 1631, Mr.
| Thomas W. Thompson, a respectable
- «tx. t w *% 3 -■-" r*. •; ’.« yy ■ I g A
citizen of this place, married a voting
woman whose maiden name was Minerva
A. Gholson, by whom he had a daughter.
On the 2()ih of August, 1843, his wife
left him under pretence of visiting her
mother then residing in Saint Louis,
taking with her their only child, then
about nine years and a half old. Previ
ous to this time his amiable spouse had
been rather gay, but had succeeded in
| blinding the fond and credulous husband
pretty effectually, and he could onlv sus
pect what he was unwilling to believe.
In the latter part of September, 1813, he
received a letter from one Mr. W. .1.
Logan, who had married a sister of his
wife, inhuming him of the death of Mrs.
Thompson, and enclosing a bill of the
physician who attended her in her last and
fatal illness, and given the attendant un
dertaker a certificate of “death from na
tural causes;’' and also a bill for indispen
sable articles politely furnished by the
aforesaid undertaker for seeing the un
fortunate deceased decently bestowed.—
The afflicted husband was inconsolable,
for he had tenderly loved his wife. Con
sider.ng it a necessary and sacred ob
ligation to pay the f.m nl expenses, lie
j paid tiie doctor’s bill to Dr. Tiffin, of this
city, and sent the amount of the undertak
er’s hill to his affectionate brother-in-law.
In November of the same year, Mrs.
: Sarah Gholson and the daughter of Mr. j
Thompson, arrived from St. Louts, clad
in the habiliments of wo, and after remaiu
: inga short time here returned to St. Louis,
Mr. T. permitting his daughter to accom
pany her grandmother; and up to Novem
; tier, 1845, they continued to reside it that
! city, occasionally coming down for a few
; days at a time on a visit. Since Novem- j
her, Mrs. Gholson and Angelina Thomp
j son, the daughter of Mr. T., have resi
| ded in this city, the father frequently vis
: -Ring the house, providing for them and
j enjoying the society of his daughter, now
I .thirteen years of age, to whom he is tie-
J or
1 yotedly attached.
During the month of July last, Mr.
f.-Tfi6mpsou was astounded at learning
j “that his wife was “alive and kicking,” or
I had risen from the grave and was as full
of fife and as fair to look upon as ever. —
i He could scarcely credit that he had been
I the victim of such a d.aring and adroitly
I managed plot, and that ids wife had I
planned and carried it through, taught
an innocent child to lie and deceive for
! years a doting father, to conceal and en
! joy unmolested a criminal intercourse
! witlf another man. He could hardly re
; alize that she could have had power
: c-Kougn to i.uluco an entire family to aid 1
her, till the fact was accidentally dis- j
! covered by a third party, and he learned ,
that she had been for many months a re
sident in this city.
A case before Recorder Raid win about
a box of jewelry, first apprized the hus
band of his wrongs. Since that time he
has been unable to obtain a sight of his
daughter or ascertain her whereabouts, i
f and has given the matter up in despair. :
A writ o habeas corpus was granted by
Judge Preston, commanding Sarah Ghol
son and Minerva A. Thompson to bring
i before him the body of Angelina Thomp- !
son, upon a petition setting forth these
facts in the case. Unfortunately tiie of
ficer was unable to serve tho writ, the
patties having fled from justice, and thus
tiie matter rests at present, the father hav
ing relinquished all hopes of obtaining
the guardianship of his child.
