HENRY NlCOIi, Chairman. From "Washington. Corre'pondence of the Tribune. Marcy and tie Officers of the Army.

Washington, July 15,1846. The Union ol last night makes a very lame attempt to reply to a slatemeut which I made some weeks ago, about the reception by Secretary Marcy of Lieut. Luther, who was shot in the leg in the battle of Palo Alto. My statement was given on the authority of one of the most ultra Loco Foco Polk men in the country Upon his authority, which was confirmed by tho Lieutenant himself, I stated that Lieut. Luther called upon Hie Secretary, hobbling on crutches from wounds received at the buttle of Palo Alto, and requested that his claims for traiellitig expenbes and medical attendance might be allowed him, on the authority of a sick leave granted by Gen.

Taylor. I also staled that instead of being received with that courtesy and kindness which even common generosity might have prompted the Secretary to aliow to one wliobe limbs had been severely wounded while rescuing our army from the daugerous position iu which au imbecile Administration had placed it, was treated so cooly that he left the office in disgust and went home to his friends to receive sympathy from them. To this the Uuion replies that it has taken pains (that is, has seen Mr. Marcy) to ascertain how far my statement was correct, and the traitor says (or Mr. Marcy says through the Uuion) lie has fouud ray original statement "minus of a very cubeulial quality, aud that is truth." Now with all due deference to the Union and Mr.

Marcy, I re assert the charge, aud besides my other authorities prove it to be true from the statement of the case in this very article in the Uuion, prepared by advice of Mr. Marcy, if not written by bimseu. The Union acknowledges that Lieut. Luther, Corre pondence Commercial Advertler. Washington, July 205 P.

M. It appears that all the friends of the tarifT bill now before the Senate do not support it on the same grounds. Mr. Lewis, in his opening speech, advocated the bill on the ground that it would produce a revenue of $28,000,000. Mr.

Westcott observed to a friend oT mine, this mnmtnir. that he would vole for the bill because it would reduce the tax upon the people, and if any body could convince him that it would yieia more than twenty millions, he would vole against it He esteems the contest between Messrs. Evans and McKav. as to which shall have the credit of taxing the people the most, one of the most amusing incidents of the times. He did not say how the expenses of the war were to be met, but I presume he thinks it ought to be by ou erf fazafisn, and I find this opinion very generally prevailing among the friends of free trade.

It has been rumored that Senetor Haywood is opposed to the bill, and being under instructions to vote for it, will resign in order to avoid the vote. I believe the rumor is fouuded in error, and that the bill ha no surer vote than that of Mr. Haywood, though lie may move to postpone its operation until the 4th of March next THE TAHIFF. The bill to reduce the tariff was then taken up. Mr.

Niles addressed the Senate at length in op lition to the bill, and defended himself for differing from his brethren in the Senate, by quoting tiie words of Edmund Burke "I will support his Lordship's interests, against his Lordahip's opinions." He was for the interests of his rarty ngainst the opinion of his party. Mr. N. believed the bill would pass, but he believed it would pass againbt the judgment of a inainrilv of the Senate, and thai it had passed the other house ugaiust the judgment of a majority of its members. The principles of tho bill were bad and its details were bad.

It was wroug altogether, and was calculated to inflict a lasting injury upon his constituents and destroy the value of free labor. Mr. N. was for incidental protection. It might he a Whuj principle but lie had always thought that the Northern democracy were in favor of it.

There was uo discrimination in the bill, except against protection. It was a bill of theories and abstractions, which he held in the utmost contempt. The act of 1812 had not been complained of at the North. It was a good law. It yielded more revenue than anv other had yielded.

After a star of a lew days in old Onondaga I have itarted again for the far west, but must pause a short time'at this beautiful and interesting place. It has not the appearance of very great activity in business, yet bears many marks of substantial and from the advantages it has in the matter of location.

it is doubtless destined to increase considerably before reaching itsull growth. 1. To conclude my observations respecting OnonJa go county.I would state that, like many other counties at the west, it is in a highly prosperous condition so far ss its agriculture is concerned, although that is still susceptible of vast improvement. There is no lack of a full supply of every production of the earth exceot fruit, to which thus far, in many sec tions; very little attention appears to have been paid. But what most troubles farmers here, is what most effects then in all other sections of what is called the western country, the want of good and active domestic markets.

These, from their position, they never can have until manufactures are sufficiently built up among them to create such markets. To have manufactures tliere must be first a sufficient protective tariff', established as the 'permanent policy of the government, that will be steadily sustained by the people. On conversing with thepeople.no matter of what political party, the stranger will find nearly every intelligent man he meets with, ready to concede at once the importance and absolute necessity of a maunBicturing system, but after finding public opinion right thus Sir, one is surprised to find it correct no further the moment you get beyond the limits of the whigparty. Many loco focos, it is true, will admit that we should have a tariff of some kind, but then it must be "moderate" or "judicious? or "for rev "uniformity' any tiling but what is most wanted, "protective" To talk of protection" for manufactures is to come dead stand with them. Besides, the majority in Onondaga, as well as in Cayuga, are for "the democraci? and to go for any thing not "democratic," or designated by their leaders as such, would strike litem as all hut treasonable and sacriligious, and to uliandon iheir leaders they considered the most nv.

ful of all propositions, although in spite of the utmost servility in principle and practice, the faith of many of the unsophisticated la often a good deal shaken by the "differences" tliat arise among the lenders themselves. Speaking "among republicans" I may here remark that the democratic family, not only iu Onondaga, but also in Oneida and Cayugn, is compelled to endure many afflictions. 1 he bam I burners and old hunkers have, in each of the coun I lies named, their respective oritans, and notwilh standing the iiiniriiuoiiial alliance formed at Albany I on the aeinbling of the convention by the Rev.

From the Evening Post. The End of a Pugilist. On Thursday, Yankee Sullivon appeared at the office of Chief of Police, and stated that he had just discovered in his garret a man who xas apparently near his death. Sulfivan said that, from what he had learned, ho supposed the man most hv been in his present situation about four dan Ono of the officers attached to the office wealto the place known as "Yankee Sullivan's Hoon," Tbe condition of the Mormons who are encamped I v.u, ri near Council Eluffi, is represented as very miserable. anj unable from weakness to help hinutlf.

They had been there and on the road several months, tiu1 poor creature was placed in a carriage sod and were suffering for want of provisions; many of I r0avyedto Bellevue Hospital, where proballv them were said to be in an actual state of starvation, he has already breathed hi last. On bring uks'j gamblers, who were intriguing for military ap pointments for men ho never met au enemy except truth and political integrity.) Unable to obtain an interview with the Secretary that day, except to be permitted to see him as ho walked into the office of one of tbe clerks, he returned to his hotel The Union contends that the mere fact that Lieut. Luther was permitted to see Mr. Marcy, when ho walked into the room, (not to see him, but on business with the Clerk,) was sufficient "courtesy" and "kindness" for one limping jour nevof a mile, without expecting to get his busi ness attended to the same day. I differ from the Union.

I think the journey was too much Tor the show, but depustibus von disputandum. Tbe next day Lieut. Luther mustered strength sufficient to go to the Department again, and ask ed for the usual compensation. The Secretary i raised a difficulty about Lieut. Luther not having a written order from General Taylor, economy, It is strange that Mr.

Marcy should harp on a written order alter his controversy with General Scott Does the Secretary mean that a wounded Lieutenant wants more ceremony to return home than a Major General requires to move to the field of battle 1 The Union, however, does not deny that Mr. Jfarey had the power to order the allowance. Though it is not denied that the Secretary had full power to grant the request The Union after a great deal of verbiage, ac Inowledges that the request was refused. The Secretary assuring Lt Luther that "be would examine the subject," an answer usually returned to office seekers when there is no hope for them. "Whereupon (saya the rumor) the lieutenant retired." The Union thinks he should not have been disgusted I think he should.

My opinion is as good as the Union's, with this exception The Union is on the side of patronage and power I am on the side of the weak and injured. The Union complains of my charge that the i Administration and its Organs do not give the names or the Privates killed in the battles. 1 repeat the charge. They were killed in deadly conflict with the enemy. Their blood, it is hoped, will nourish laurels for the brows of Polk, Marcy, rem principle, which he said was the worst kind of sliding scale calling upon the people to pay the highest duty when they were least able, and to pay the lowent duly when they were best able to pay Mr.

N. thru entered into several of the details of the bill to show that it protected downward and gave what he called an Irish hoist. He said it was an Irish bill altogether. The government teemed disposed to try an experiment both upon the stomaclis and the backs of the people, and more especially upon poor men. Why should Congress, by it legislation, attempt to arrest the onward and prosperous movement of the country, and attempt to put a barrier upon its production and interests! Mr.

I contend that this is a war for the glory of men who never smelt powder. It is a war for the elevation and ambitious designs of your Tolks and Bancrofts aud Cave Johnsons who ride through the city iu carriages decorated with coals or arms, attended by liveried footmen aping the follies or European aristocracy, while they are rubbing the poor soldier the common soldier of his fame and blood, lo secure them in power and to perpetuate the reign of public plunder. Why have not some of these wounded aud scar covered veterans veterans even in youth, been rewarded by such offices as are heaped upon political parasite who have no more qualifications for the offices bestowed upon them than a monkey has for a Professorship in a University. Let the whole conduct of this Administration be examined in their attempts to break down the popularity of Gen.

Richelieu. Correspondence Commercial Advertiser. WAsntNCTOv, July 19, 184C. Mr. Haywood has often and positively declared that he would never vote for the tariff bill from tbe House ao often and so positively that his Democratic friends have already become alarmed lest he will hold out in his refusal.

It is reported this morning that he has resigned his seat in view of his inability to vote in accordance with what he supposes to be the prevalent opinion in his state. 1 do not know in what such a rumor could have originated, unless in his own declaration of the fact, and I am therefore inclined to think that it may be well founded. One of the prominent friend of the bill, a Western Administration Senator, told me last night that the result of the vote upon the passage of the bill was still very doubtful, for be had no doubt that Mr. Haywood would vote in the negative, unless the bill should be materially amended. What amendment Mr.

H. desire I have not heard. Mr. Jarnagin is also a doubtful vole. It is said that he recognize! the doctrine of tha binding force of instruction from a Legislature, and that he ha received such instructions upon this question.

But one of his associates told mo this morning that he did not believe Mr. J. would trouble himself much about his instruction. Another Western Democratic Senator said to me, "we shall certainly be able to carry the reduction or the tariff unless tbe South desert us." The chances, for there is no certainty nor even any probability in the case, are in favor of the defeat or the bdL If Mr. Haywood remains firm in his stand against, or if he resigns, and all the Whigs are true to their position, tbe bill win oe lost Mr.

Jarnagin' defection from one side would neutralize that of Mr. Haywood from the oher. And besides these chances there are the remoter ones against the passage of the bill, that Mr. Benton will insist upon some modification, and that Mr. Dallas will give a negative vote.

Mr. Huntington accompanied the presentation of this memorial with a brief statement of its contents, and pointed out many important facts iu connection with the paper business.

Under the tariff of 1S42, the manufacture of paper has beeu steadily increasing, and the price correspondingly reduced. Every hoiiEe in the country that inhabited by a family is interested in this business, for they all contribute to furnish the raw material consumed in the manufacture of paper.

A Rom Tragedy A Child Shot James Ryan, living at the Flats, near the canal, got into an affray lost night with some fellows np the tow path, in which he got considerably bruised and beaten. He was laboring under tho excitement of liquor, and maddened, it is said, with jealous rage towards his wife, both of which causes operated to produco die qnnrrel in which ho got badly worsted. Iu this exasperate mood, he went home, accompanied by a single individual, it be iug about 12 o'clock at night and on entering tbe house, his wife, frightened at his bloody clothes and angry appearance, fled to a near neighbor's leaving their only child, a bright little boy about three years old, asleep in tbe foot of the bed. Ryan, in a rage, seized a gun from under the bed, and swearing vengeance upon some one whom be declared was standing between him end hi wife, discharged it apparently at random. The man who accompanied him home, had hold of him at the time, and soon succeeded iu wrenching the gun from his bands.

It was seme minutes after I this melee, that it was discovered the bed was on jare, occasioned by the. burning wadding from the gun, and in extinguishing the flame, the dead body of the child waa found. It waa lying in a quiet sleep with it face to the wall. The contents of the gun had passed through its head from back of its ear out at its forehead, and so near was tho muzzle that unburnt powder was found in the wouud. We visited the liouso to day, and a more wretched picture of rum's doings we never saw.

There sat the wife, a bad woman no doubt, with her eyes blackened by blowi from her rum maddenedmaddened hutbaud. Beside her was her only child, but yesterday a promising, prattling boy, a corpse the housa in uproar, and its walla stained with blood and the partner of her mi eriis in the dungeon of a prison Surely, "truth is stranger than fiction."

The men fled to the boats, and shoving off, discharged their small arms, wounding one or two of the enemy. The English officer was taken prisoner. Insurrection at Sentiago, the Capital of Chili. The recent election of General Bulnes to the Presidency, it appears, has caused considerable dissatisfaction, aud called forth the bitterness of his enemies. On the 7th March at 10 at night, a general alarm was given throughout the city, when the insurrectionists inteuded to strike a heavy blow.

To inflame the people, huge placard denouueing the Executive in very inflamamtory language, were borno through the streets, with torches in front. The military, headed by the President, were at once called out, but owing to the great crowds aud excitement, it was a long time before the city could be quieted. Toward morning, however, order was restored, aud martial law at once prevailed. By da) break upward of 20 ringleaders and a large number of others had been arrested. Designs on California The following letter from the Secretary of War shows what are the designs of the Administration in sending an expedition to the Pacific.

Wxn DErAaTiiKNT, June 26, 184C Sia The President having determined to send a Regiment of Volunteers around Cape Horn lo the Pacific, to be employed in prosecuting hostilities in Mexico, probably in Upper California, has authorized mo lo say that if you will organize one regiment on the conditions hereinafter specifiod, and lender its services to the United States, it will be accepted. It is proper it should bo done with the approbation of the Governor of New York. The President expects, and indeed requires, that great rare should be taken to have it composed of suitable persons, I mean of good habits, as far as practicable of various pursuits, and such as would be likely to desire to remain at the end of the war, either in Oregon or in any territory in that region of the globe which may then be a part of the territory of Sie United States. The act of the 13th May last, authorises the acceptance of volunteer! for 12 months or during the war wilh Mexico. The condition of acceptance iu this case must be a tender of service during tho war, and it must be explicitly understood that they be discharged without a claim for returning home wherever they may be serving at the termination of the war provided it is within the then territory of the United States, or may be taken to the nearest or most convenient territory belonging to the United Stales and there discharged.

The men must be apprised expressly that their terra of service is for the war, that they may be discharged as above specified and that they are to be employed on a distant service. It is, however, very desirable that it should not be publicly known, or proclaimed that they aro to go into any particular province of Mexico. On this point great caution i enjoined. The communication to the officers and men must go so far as lo remove all just ground of complaint that they have been deceived, in the nature and place of the service. It is expected that the regiment will be in read ness to embark a early a the 1st of August next, if practicable.

Steps will be immediately taken to provide for transportation. Very reepectfullv, your obedient serv VM. MARCY, Secretary of War. Cot J. D.

The idea of being leat can never fail to have on irresis tahle influence upon such a lnving no principles to contend for, about which lhey feel the least interest or concern, if no spoils are to be gamed they have no inducement lo act at all. The organs of the different branches of the party are tin re lure firing at each other with much spirit, but after all it is highly probable that the defeated farlion, although trod under foot, abused and traduced by the successful one, will in the end take its designated jxnitioii in the contest viih the most perfect servility mid subinisfiheness, declaring I lint the very men they hove attacked and denounced as wholly unworthy of public confidence atiJ supiiort, should till receive ill' united, support of the party! Such things have been seen so often that they v. ill surprise nobody if they ore witnessed again, and swallowed whole by the faithlul. Thus for the loco foco party has contrived to act as one both in Onondaga and Cayuga counties, but as their splits in Oneida and Otsego bid fair to he of permanent duration, unlcwsonie new spell can be cast oer tbe leaders, there is great danger that other counties will follow their example.

Should the divisions thus spread the party will soon be down in the state, where in truth they are already if the full strength of the whigs can be brought out at the elections. But to leave politics for the present. I find in Onondaga a newbranch of agriculture springingup, and that is the cultivation of tobacco, which isbe eleetinn of President and Vice President Don coming quite common. I understand tint several tons I Rivera was elected President, Don Fermandcs 1st of it weieraisedlastyear.whiclibrouglitafairprice I Vice President, and Don Arancho 2d do. New York market, and a much larger crop The commander or the tngtish Dng oi wur ja now "rowing.

Little permanent good can be ex pected to arise from such a branch of our agricultural system, as it greatly exhausts the soil here as well as at the south. The plea in favor of raising it is, that as things now stand.and us they have been for several years, farmers have hut little to rely upon to raise cash but heat. The coarser grains, as com, rye, barley and oats, also berf, pork and stock, bring so little, and will so seldom sell for cash, that fanners cannot rely upon them as a means to raise money, to meet their liobilities. They therefore seek every substitute that promises to be available, and tobacco they consider one of them. Wool has been one of their main reliances in times past, but the war upon the tariff has brought that down to the lowest point, if it will sell at all.

Scarcely any that is raised in this section of the state will now fetch twenty five cents per pound, and the markets are perfectly stagnant, scarcely a buyer showing himself to purchase at any price. A few speculators appeared and offered to buy up wool some two or three weeks since, at a fair price, but no sooner did Mr. McKay's free trade tarifTbill pass the House of Representatives than they were off, and since that time there hove been no markets. The destruction of the wool markets hears thus far more heavily upon the western part of the slate than the eastern. The same remark will apply to the western slates, where articles that ill com inand cash and bear the cheapest transportation, are of the first consequence to the farmers.

They have the remedy in their own hands, and would they resolve in mass to sustain no candidates for Congress or the Presidency but firm and tried friends of protection, the evils they now suffer would soon be removed. Let the protective system be finnlv established, and in a few years manufactures would spring up every where, furnishing cash markets for every kind of produce, filling the country with wraith and advancing the price of real estate to double what it is at present. There is nothing else wanting to make the farmers of Oneida, Onondaga, Madison, Cayuga, Ontario, and so on, as rich as those of Dutchess and Orange. But thus far so many prefer political demagogueism to their own interests, tliat the advances in wealth here are so slow as lo astonish one residing near the sea board. Underthe right domestic policy as great an advancement might be made in one year as is now made in four.

The people must take their own time to remove such evils, but that they will remove them ultimately and effectually there cannot be a doubt. Yours, Great Excitement!

Tliekw Among the propositions before the convention to amend the constitution, is one to divide the slate into single senate and assembly districts. The plan is a good one provided, when adopted, it increases the number of representatives and senators over that fixed by the convention of 1821, so tar as to correspond with the increased population of the state since that period. If the proper increase is made the larger class of counties that now have three members each, ill then be each entitled to one senator, winch will be a vast improvement over the present system of electing.

In reference to the districts for members of the assembly, it should be provided that no district shall extend beyond the limits of one county. If the legislature is left to regulate the districts, and there are no restrictions upon that body, there will be no end to tlie Gerrymandering in forming them, and if such a tiling is possible the loco fo cos ill so shape diem as to deprive the whigs of the 'power of choosing any. The whole senate should also be elected every year, as well as the assembly. There never has existed, any good reason why it should not be so. To allow' a portion of any legislative body elected directly by the people to hold over from year to year, and thus defeat the public will, is not and never has been a source of any thing but corruption, and it should now be ended.

Meiggs, the gentlemanly Principal of the American Musical Institute, who planned the excursion nnd mods the arrangements for the Concert in our village, and more particularly so as Mr. Meiggs, himself, is not a professional musician, but is guided solely in liis ef forts by his love to the mysterious art, and his desire to see the standard of Music in America elevated lo a rank inferior to no other nation, and well would it be if we had a few more men of like character. Of the different parts we will not attempt to speak farther than to say, as far as in our judgment lies, we could see nothing to criticise, and that all was new, strange, surpassingly beautiful, leading captive the imagination, and filling the soul with wonder and admiration, and nrver hove we had so for cible an illustration of the oft repeated quotation of the immortal bard, that "Tim mnn who has no music ill himself Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds Is fit for treason, stratagem and spoils."

Aa the trains were posning eacn outer, me engineer oi the down train discovered a small boy running across the track immediately in front of the locomotive. In an instant the engine was upon him, the entire train passing over him, killing him instantly Tbe wheels of the locomotive struck him about the middle of his body, cutting it entirely iu two, and crushing the luwer portion of the victim in the most horrible manner. His mangled remains presented an awfut spectacle when tney were gathered op from tbe bloody track.

He was taken to the dead house in the Park, where an inquest was held.

He darted upon the track just in front of the locomotive, and waa crushed beneath the wheels, almost before the engineer was aware that any being was in the vicinity. Morning Newt.
