THE DEATH OF MAJ<)R BiU)WN.
Camargo, Mexico, Aug. 18, 1848.
Editors of Ihe Picayune:
1 do not recollect having seen any de
tailed account of tlie wounding of Maj.
Brown, at the bombardment <>f lite fort
which now hears his name. I« as very
much interested the oilier evening, while
listening to a desc* ipiion of Die -a 1 -ceie,
given hy a gentleman who was an eye
witness, and whose statement can bo re
lied on as perfectly correct.
On ibe morning of the (Jib of May. the
fourth day of the bombardment, about
day-break, the gallant commander of the
fort look advantage of a short cessation
of the enemy’s fire to get a little rest, hav
ing been constantly on the watch the
night before. Ile remained in his tent
about an hour, when he left it and visited
the bastion comma tided by Cant. Miles,
lie re he found several young officers col
lected, who were conversing, and joctl
luilv icmaiking on the novelty of their
position, having never before heard an
enemy’s cannon. Toe Maj >r joined in
tho conversation, but in a short time left
them, saying, as he turned away: “Y oimg
gentlemen, I hope von mav live to light
many battles; an 1 as I know you all, 1
bone you may have an opportunity to do
yourselves justice.' He left this hasion to
v sit Capt. Lo 'd, and gave that officer
orders to fire a certain number of guns at ;
certain intervals, and to pioduce as great
an effect as j o sihle. This was done for
a purpose then only known to himself.
A few hours afterwards, as the Major
was again ir< iug around the fort, accom
panied by his adjutant, Lieut. Page, a
gallant and very efficient young officer,
now adjutant of the 7th infantry, he in
formed him that the guns which be bad
ordered Capt. Load to fire Was the signal
agreed upon between Gen. Taylor and
himself to inform the General that he was
closely besieged. lie had scarcely fin
ished the sentence when they beard the
report ofa mortar. At this instant they
were passing between the traverse w hich
runs across the fort and the magazine.
Thev knew not from what direction the
shell was coming, hut both of them fell
down to avoid it. Maj. Brow n reclined
against the traverse, and Adjutant Page
against the magazine. They were within
about eight fi et of ea«. h other. As the
Major was in the act ot lying down, his
leg was fyr an instant bis night in the same
position as if lie had been silting in a
chair —or bent nearly to a right angle,
the foot resting on the ground. Page was
looking at him at that ins’ant, and saw
the shell strike him in its descent. It Lit
him on the knee and crushed 'he whole
leg downward to the foot, tearing his boot
to pieces. The blow threw him partly
over, and resting on his hands and one
foot, and turning pale from the intensity*
of the pain, he exclaimed “My God!”
which, as far as 1 have beard, was the
only exclamation of that nature w hich the
brave man made from his fall until his
death. The instant young Page saw that
his commanding officer was wounded, he
sprang to his feet and looked tvr men to
assist in taking him to the hospital. Quar
termaster Sergeant Homy was close by,
and was at the Adjutant’s side in an in
slant, and almost every man in sight,
some ten or twelve in number, rushed up
immediately. The Surgeon was im
mediately sent for, and the Major was
instantly conveyed to the hospital tent.
As soon as raised from (lie ground, he
grasped his leg just above the knee with
both hands, and held it firmly c impressed
until the tourniqncttos were put on. By
this lime he was very faint. Numbers
of his men were gathered around to learn
the fate of their beloved commander, and
seeing them, he said: “Go to your work,
men, I am but oae among von.”
The officers and men under Major
Brown were warmly attached to him, and
thev never allude to his name w ithout an
expression of deep regret at Ids fall. In
a c nversation with Adjutant Page, last
evening, I referred to the death of his com
mander. He corroborated the foregoing
statement, and in conclusion made the
follow ing impressive remark: "I remain
ed with him as long as my duly would
permit, and left his side with deep and
heartfelt sorrow that the service and my
country had lost, in its defence, a spirit
so noble—a man w ho. in his most intense
agony, thought only of the proud Dust
confided to him by Ids commanding .gen
eral.” v
W hen a-ked, after being inf »rmed that
f.is life could not he saved, if he had any
requests to make of bis friends, and ar
rangements to make before bis death, he
very quietly answered, “No, my fi lends,
I hove made my arrangements.” H.
I should have stated that when Lieut
P;iqe and tLe men sprang to the side of
Map Brown, the shell which had hit him
was Jving in their midst. They never
stopped to see whether it would burst or
not. Had it’exploded, it would have
killed ncaily all of them. Fortunately
the fuse, after i urning awhile, failed to
ignite the contents of the shell, and the
noble fellows weie saved.
LORD JOHN RU'SELS’S SPEECH ON THE
SUGAR DUTIES AND SLAVERY IN THE
UNITED STATES.
House of Commons. July 29.
Sir, 1 believe that statement, made hy
a firm of experience in the trade, to he
thoroughly borne out by Die fact, and that
the increased price will limit the cou
i sumption; that you wifi be disappointed
| of obtaining the supply you wish; that
your revenue will not increase as it ought
; to do by increasing the duty on sugar;
and that the people will suffer from the
price thev most pay ow ing to the limit
you place on the quantity that comes into
your markets. (Cheers.) Now let it be
borne in mind that, supposing the eon
sumption is 250,000 tons, an increase of
price to the amount of (ss. only per cwt.,
would be a tax < y the people of this coun
try in the price of their sugar, of JE 1,500,-
000 a year, (cheers) and that a tax which
i does not go into the Exchequer (cheers);
it is paid by the people, hut gives nothing
| whatever to the Stale. (Cheers.) In that
stale of the supply of sugar, what 1 should
naturally he disposed to propose, there
fore, would be the admission of other su
gar—other foreign suitarinto the mar kets
of this country, to supply tLe deficiency
under w hich it is evident we should other
wi-e suffer during the present year. But
we are here met by an objection, contra
i ry to tiie system which has prevailed du
i ring lhe last four or five years, hut more
i decidedly in the present year, allowing
the people to buy w here they could iu the
cheapest market—an objection L made
that “by so doing, by admitting all for
ohm suoars, vou would encourage slave
• rv, and give an increased stimulus to the
slave trade; these are moral considera
tions which overbear all financial and
commercial views, and all views connect
ed with the comfort and welfare of the
people of this country,” In examining
that argument, which I do not propose to
do at any length, I will just point out
where 1 think it fails, both in complete
ness and efficacy.
That argument fails in completeness;
because while you refuse admission to
your home market of the sugars of for
ebm countries, you place no such bar
C* \ - ' .
on Die admission of other productions—
(cheers); the cotton, the tobacco, Die cop
per, and other articles which are pro
duced by slave labor. Therefore, sir,
i yon do not actually carry into effect, or
even pretend to carry into effect, tiio.se
humane views which the persons who are
most opposed to Die admission nfslave pro
duce consistently entertain. I hold in my
hand a circular w ith respect to the sugar
duties, which is headed “urgent,” and
w hich begins with slating, as a very great
misfortune, Dial which ministers and
statesmen of this country have regarded
year by year as a very great advantage,
namely, Die great increase iu the import
and consumption of cotton from Du* Uni
ted States. It has been thought by the
great majority of this house that a very
large increase in the import of cotton, af
fording Die means of industry and liveli
hood to hundreds of thousands of our peo __
pie, making our manufacturing towns
* busy and flourishing, was a great advan
tage to Die State; but these persons state
the increase of cotton from 1790 to 1545
as a reason for calling down the indigna
tion of all moralists and philanthropists
against it. They go on to say that, “if
it be slated a> a reason for excepting the
United S ate-r from the principle of ex
cluding slave produce, that the slavery
existing in that country is characterized
by none of the greatest horrors of the Af
rican slave trade; the committee would
observe that that attrocious traffic has
hem succeeded there by another in some
features still more revolting —the breed
ing of slaves whose value is regulated hy
the price of chiton wool in the British
market.” Nobody can f rget the elo
client statements that were made by my
right honorable friend the member for
Edinburg wi:h respect to the slave trade
in the United Stale.-; nobody can deny
the force of the observations he then made,
or the facts which are here stated by the
anti slavery committee, that the consump
tion of cotton wool in this country', and
the use of it in our manufactures gives an
impulse and encouragement to the slave
trade in the United States; and yet, ii any
one were to -av that we would not allow
cotton wool to come into this country —it
we were to sav that before we would ad
mit cotton w 00l w e would force tlie Uni
ted States to a solution of that tremendous
i problem that hangs over them—that tre
mendous problem whether they shall keep
their black population in a slate of slavery,
ot whether, applying the great articles of
their declaration of rights, they shall at
once, give them the supreme power in
many States—the power they would he
entitled to of electing the majority of rep
resentatives—to say, that wo would in
sist on the emancipation of ail their slaves,
or that we wouKJ not take their cotton
wool, would ho nothing less than insani
-1 ly. (Cheers ) —Sir it is the same thing
with regard to several other productions;
it is the same thing with regard to copper
ore, with respect lo which the slaves em
ployed in the mines of Cuba are as great
sufferers, as anv employed on the worst
sugar States in that country; and yet, so
far from having proceeded on this con
sistent plan of the anti-slavery commit- ;
lee, we have, of late years, diminished the j
dunes on the admis- i in of C' p per ore, and
totally abrogated the duties on coin n
wool. (Cheers'.) Such, then, is the first
instance to show that your policy, if it
were to proceed on an exceptional rule,
is incomplete and unsatisfactory, even to
those who most strongly maintain it But
von have not been able to maintain it
! even on that ground. Aou have not been
j able to say we will admit sugar only
from our own colonies and possessions in
which we have enacted that slavery shall
no longer exist. We have been obliged,
the late ministry has been obliged by the
necessity of the case, by the insufficient
supply which comes from our own colo- :
nics, to admit the sugars of other couu- i
tries to our markets. The consequence i
; has been a new complication of the pro
blem. You have had to decide what was j
the state of society in those particular
countries, what was the slate of society |
in Java for instance, and whether the ob- i
ligation to cultivate sugar in that case !
did not amount to a stale of slavery.— j
You have to what was the i
1 slate of society in Manilla, and you have I
! also exposed yourselves to the decision, |
i according to the interests of the Dutch I
Commercial Company, at one time dis- !
i posed to give you a large supply of sugar, |
and at another to withhold it; but, be- ■
i sides tin’s, you are obliged by the princi- 1
pies of your law and your treaties, to ad- ;
mil other countries which have treaties ;
with you, providing that their produce |
shall be received on the terms of the most i
favored nation, into competition with the
free labor States. You could not do other- i
wise. You may say that no great quan- j
tity of sugar will be admitted in that case; i
but your principle is utterly thrown down, |
when you admit certain slave Slates to |
send their sugar here your principle is at
an end. But in order to do ibis you have '
been obliged to refuse to Spain the pri- |
vilege, which you claimed under treaty !
i to send you her produce on the footing of j
the most favored nation, (cheers.) You i
have been obliged to do so on grounds j
which, 1 think, are not very honorable to j
a great country like this. (Cheers.)
• I
A Very Singular Case —A French
physician, Oliver, writing recently, nar
rates the case of a lady, remarkab e for !
the fairness of the skin, and beamy of her ;
deep black hair, who was the subject of
fever, and while recovering, perceived
the whole surface of her body lo he in a
state termed ‘“goose skin.’ 5 In a few days
the little elevations looked dark at tlie
summit, and were surmounted each by a
short black hair, which grew very rapidly
so that, at the end of a month, every part
of the body, with the exception of her fate. |
the palms of her hands, and tlie soles of
her feet, was covered with a short hairy
coat, of about an inch in length.
Effects of Liquor. —A young man, in a
state of intoxication, in the city of Bos
ton on Monday night, fancying he was
■ in his bed room, undressed himself and
went to sleep in the street, leaving Ids j
clothes and a gold watch on the sidewalk.
The police fortunately chanced to pass, j
• a few minutes afterwards, and he was
; accommodated with a bunk in the watch
house.
Sherwood,- a few years ago,
broached the theory that climate changed j
every 066 years. Me also announced
that our climate in conformity to his sys- ;
l tern would become milder, while that of j
Em ope would become colder, during the !
present and succeeding centuries. Obser
valions on temperature in this country
and Europe confirm this theory, and go
far to convince many persons that it is
well founded.
(g'T’That remarkable man, Humboldt,
has reduced it almost to a demonstration,
that the streams of a country fail in pro
poitionto the destruction of its timber. —
And, of course, if the streams fail, our
I seasons will be worse; it must gel drier
in proportion. Everybody knows, who
can number twenty year* buck, that the
water courses have failed, considerably, ,
and that the seasons have been genin'*
drier every year.
A gentleman w ho has occasion to
walk with two ladies with one umbrella,
should always go in the middle—that se
cures to himself, a dry coat, and is show
ing no partiality to either of the ladies.
Ridicule. —The mo>t refined of human
feelings are the most exposed to, and the
most liable to be affected by ridicule—as
the finest edges are the easiest destroyed.
CO*" It is a mistake lo suppose that a
man knows much because he talks loud,
j The emptiest barrels make the most noise.
THE TENDENCY OF THE AGE.
“Theie is a charm in the rich bless
ings of Free Trade which is destined to
produce an enthusiasm w herever the new s
ot a triumph of free principles is wafted
on the wings of the press. It is the pre
cursor of universal love and peace among
all nations, and, as such kindles the best
feelings of the human breast. From the
foreign nnvs we extract the following let
ter to Sir Robert Peel, from* tlie inhabi
tants of the town ofElhing in Russia.—
It is a cordial tribute to Sir Robert Peel,
and shows that even in that country,
w here Die popular mind is so moulded by
education as to feverencc tlie ‘divine au
thority’ of a king, the principles of com
mercial freedom find a responsive echo.
in our own Republic, we find a
large party, who persist in maintaining
Die onerous and withering, thraldom of
the restrictive system:
“.Measures which aim at tlie happiness
of a nation, belong to all nations; the tri
umph of intelligence in one people, in
sures Die advancement of the interests of
humanity in all. A statesman worthy of
the name, is the man of all countries.—
England owes to your administration
three great reforms, relating to taxation,
banking establishments*, and the tariffs.—
The establishment of the income lax pro
i claimed tin’s axiom—that taxation ought
; to fall on men who are in possession of
property, and not on Die means of acquir
ing it. 'i’lie hill relating to hanking, has
pul an end to the deceitful fluctuations of
the value of money, regulated the circu
! latiou of paper money, and brought a
remedy to the crisis with which the coin- 1
mercial world found itself at each mo
; ment menaced. It has given, as it were,
I an invitation to our Government to profit j
i hy yr.ur example, for the purpose of en
: dovving our country with a wiser logisla
i lion, and more in conformity with our i
wants. The reform of tlie tariff inan
i gurates in Europe the era of commercial
! liberty. Nations, in following Die im- |
pulse which vou have just given, will
j draw closer to each other, as the citizens
of one and the same country. Their in- !
; terests w ill be more and more commin- i
I gled, and w ill constitute so many guaran- j
lees of peace. The statesmen who go- *
vein Prussia, if they have not preceded !
you, tire ready to follow you in the path i
I vou have chosen. We hail with delight*
i tiie measure which admits corn free into ;
i England; and it is not our interest alone
which prompts us to say so, for we are
convinced that this measure will he pro
fitable to the English people. Your name !
I will pass to posterity loaded w ith bless

Tall Grass. — Dr. Bailey, of North
Hadley, sent to the editor of the Amherst
: Express a hunch of grass, which he took i
| from the meadows, which measured 7 feet
i and G inches in length. Two of the
! spites measured 8 feet and G inches in
i length.
| Snake bites. —lt is said that charcoal,
: made into a paste with hog’s laid, is a
grand antidote for snake bites. In had
cases it should he changed often. It will
probably prove effectual for the sting of
bees, and all other similar cases of pD
son.
Gapes in poultry. — This disease, so fre
quently fatal to young chickens, and ;
those of rnaturer age, may he speedily
I and successfully cured by u mixture of ;
Indian meal with soap-suds.
To prevent swelling from a bruise. —
Immediately apply a cloth, five or six fold, j
dipped in cold water, and new dipped
when it grows warm.
A burn nr scald. — If it he hut skin deep
immediately plunge Die part in cold wa- j
ter; keep it in an hour, if not well before. ;
Perhaps longer.
Bleeding at the nose. — To cure it, ap-
I ply to the neck behind and on each side,
a cloDi dipped in cold water; or, put the
| legs and arms in cold water: or, wash the
temples, nose and neck, with vinegar: or
■ snuff up vinegar and water.
