THE NEW T ARIF-F ASSED.
With heartfelt joy Ado we announce
that the tariff bill-haspassed the. House
of Representatives, in sdbstuntially the
same shape as reported by General Mc
K-i the Chairmansf-the Cominittee of
Ways and Means.. .fo this gentleman
arek the thanks of 'theapeople emphati
caly die forlhis indefatigable exertions
in behalf of this great mensure of deliv
eran. At great lncottenietire, and
with'havoc to all miscellhnyie publish
the bill entii-e as it passed the Iouse,'in
this number of the Nev.' .Lt leaves us
but little room for comment. We have
no doubt but that the bill will pass the
Senate, without much amendment. If
it does,'then may this city r.joice ihat
the gteatest imuelliment to her increa
sing commerce and pr6sperity is remo
ved. We have soon 4t chronice the
Itappy tidings. The intoi tlhepassge

-eloquent and tsuty sound-representative
from the Bridfomd -Disuict. With th's
exception, the members from Pennsil
vania, who w ere all 'present, voted in
solid pha'anx against the bill.
New York stood by principle. O
her S3 members, (the other seat being
left vacant by the death of Mr. [lei rick,)
sixteen of the dimocrats voted to pass
the bill. Fou: others, Messrs. Russell,
of Warren, Ilungerford of Jefferson,
Jenkins of Oneida, and' Wheaton of
Onondaga, with the twelve whig mem
bets, voting against the bill. iad the
remaining tntmb'r, Mr. Woodwurth of
Dutchess, been present and voted with
I is party, a ditajoity .of the. de;egation
-woulid have voted for the bill. The ju
dicious (hilterver will not fail to note that
Messrs. Miller, Woodruff and Campbell
-vere indifferent to the commercial irter
ests of this -city as to vote in the nega
tive.
cIb'ides those from N-w York and
Pennsylvania, the only democrats vo
ting against the bill were the two from
New Jersey und one (Mr. Perry) from
Maryland. Nlew Jersey is the only
state whtere -democratic representatives
voted~unanimously againist the bill.
All the democrats fromi Ohio voted
for the bill, except'one, Mr. Cummings
who was absent. The tax on tea and
ioffee was stricken out, and thre duties
increased on -other articles so ns to ten
<der the bill acceptable to thema. T hey
were -twelve str ong ; and if their votes
had been cast egninst tho bill, as they
would have been if it had not beent anien
<ded, the mojotity against it would have
been five. We-are happy to state that
a noble disposition was evinced on all
sides, to comapromise and conciliate.
There weee thirteen absentees ; ten
democrats, of whomt seven, if present,
would have certainly voted for the bill,
and three twhigs, :Three of the absen
'have gone to-the wvar." There
bree vacancies in the House; and
Speaker had 'no vote. If every teat
'had been filled, and. every member had
voted, the atlil mative- vote would 'have

A Buffalo Tale.-I had a friend in the
Indian country who was 'a rare -narrator,
but suspected of embellishment. He nev.
er failed in a story. He was a genius.
No matter what the incident, he would re
late it so as to he inteuse'y interesting, or
irresistibly amusing. He had one buffa
lo tale, tough as any he used to tell with a
naivette and earnestness, that made as
forget its improbable features. . -
" One morning, when I was in the Blank
foot country,' he would say. - I. went out
accompanied by an old Spanish hunter,
(we call the Mexicans all Spaniards; you
know,) to get a few buffalo steaks ; and
seeing an old bull asleep... I took a-fancy
to have a ride, .without . saddle or bridle.
So I crept-up and sprang upon his back.'
* The dev-' we would exclaim.- -
'And off he went, full tilt, towards a
small but bottom .prairie,. the Spaniard
running after us as fast air he could.'
* And you on bis back ?' we.would ask.
*'Yes sir-fact-and I kept beating him
with my gun -stick on the side-of the head,
until his course became circular, and he
make several tours of the little prairie. I
could have easily killed him with my knife.
but I wanted to showv the Spaniard, who
had run to the middle of the prairie, some
feats of fiersemanship, 'as he kept walking
round ice the ring-master of a circus. At
!ength yec:dne within two hundred yards
of the Spaniard.'. .- .
*Shall I shoct ?' he bawled out.
'No, wait a little,' said I.
* In what part 1'
dIehind the foreshoulder!'
* Well, said he,' raising his rifle, 'kold up
your leg!1'- ..
Then, afte'r our, astonishment had been
sufficiently expressed, he woultd assure us
that the Spaniard brought the bull dowp
pursuant to. order; and he had ad oldl pair
of eelskin breeches. ripped on the neither
edge of one le.g by a bullet, which he tried
to assure us we're the identtcal breeches he
wore on that occasion.
*'And you ::ee, sir," he wetild- add. -"1
did'nt hold my leg quite high enough."

AIATTMOaAS, Mexico, June.30. .
General Taylor's camp on this side the
Rio Grande is yet above water in spots,
athough the chances of being driven or
drowned out still look about even. I sat
upon the banks of the -river this morning
with my feet paddling in the water.; so
you may learn how near we are to an in
undation. I wish that some of those rmum
bers of Congress, who are pleased to de
signnte the officers of our armyas "epau
Jetted loafers," and "wasp-.waisted -yam
pires hanging about high places," could 1
get a glimpse of them now-in fact, could
share their privations and discomforts with t
them, they would forever after hold their
tongue. The poor devils-although they
laugh at and.make light ofhe annoyances I
which beset thern-appear in plight most I
pitiful, many of them really not having
had a dry rug to their backs or a dry blan- .(
ket to sleep on for near a-fortnight.. "Il ng
itg about.htigh places!" Why, they have
been wading about low places, halfway up c
to their knees in mud and water-Gen. r
Taylor and Col. Twigs among the rest
and nothing but an absolute fear of being
drowned out has driven.any from their e
position.. . The two regiments of Louisiak
na volunteers-Marks' and Walhon's-onti
the opposite hank of the river, occupy
higher ground; yet they are bad enough F
off in all conscience. All are.siill-eajoying I
a better degree of health than one could d
suppose they would, but I am fearful, if r
they remain here too long, that some epi- p
demic may make its appearance among t
them . ... . . . .. 1
