HAYSE AND WEBSTER. A Virginian’s Pictareefthe Famous Conflict. A correspondent of Baldwin's Monthiy from Warrenton, Va., gives the following account as it fell from the lips of his father, an eye- witness. It is in some respects much the finest pictyre ever drawn of the scene, especially in its description of the gailant Col. Hayne: “In the great Squth Carolina de- bate which took place in the Senate Chamber upon the tariff question ot 1828, I was in the gallery. The nullification fever had risen almost frenzy nigh. Members of all par- tres had deserted the lower house to witness the splintering of lances be- tween Robert Y. Hayne, of South Carolina, and Daniel Webster, of New Hampshire (sic.) When len tered the hall Gen. Hayne was speaking ; he was a nan of general youthful appearance, with his shirt collar turned over his cravat, and his hair smocthly_ brushed across his forhead. He was of the middle stat- ure arf well made. He was speak- ingyenergetically ; hts eyes were pe- culiarly brilliant, and his face ex- tremely pale; he moved up and own the aisle formed between the desks with a rapid and energetic step; lus gestures were vehement. and he appeared to be under high state of excitement. I was peculiar- ly struck with his whole appearance, and the tone of feeling evident in the chamber. Mr. Calhoun (then Vice President) was in the chair, with his large, steady and vigilant eyes witnessing the first great battle of his doctrine; he seemed the verv spirit of embodied interest;*not a word, not a gesture of Gen. Hayne escaped his lion look. The Senate was deevly interested, as a matter of course. The language of Gen. Hayne was rich and vigorous, and his powertul effect of the impost law onthe South, the . description he gave ot her people, ht’ own bold and hazardous elocution and impetu- ous bearing, were evidently making astrong impression on the body. From time to time attention would be directed from him to the gentle- man who was expected to answer him, and.whom the General attack- ed under cover of a terrible and gall- ing fire. Cold, serene, dark and melancholy that man, thus assailed, sat apart black and frowning as a mountain rock. He evidently felt the gigan- tic influences that were at work around him; but his profound mind was stregthening itself tor the est. And how deeply solemn was that hour, that moment; how grand that scene ; and what were the medi- tations and rallying of that great, dark man? His countenance was the same duringthe whole ot that tremendous speech. . Assault aiter asgawit Was made upon him; but he neliber turned, to the right nor left, but calmly and gallantly, like the soldier awaiting the signal, he bided hishour. That time of retatiation came switt as the thoughts of ven- genance to Daniel Webster. Who will forget the exordium of that markable effort, the lashing the withering tones of that and the temper of his langu: Gen.

The introduction of railroads and Yankee enterprise into Mexico is drawing the attention of the outside world to the easy-going, jog-trot sort of life that 1s lived there. It isa land where the sewing machine, the tele- phone and the book agent are as yet unknown, except in rarely-tavored locaiities. As an illustration of the quaint yet exasperating backward- ness of the people, the following in- cident is related as having .recently happened; A railroad man in the state of Chihuahua advertised for a number of railroad ties. Among those who responded to the demand was an enterprising Mexican who expressed his ability to supply these articles. ‘‘How many can you sup- ply?’” asked the railroad magnate. **Excellenza can have us many as he will,’’ rephed the Mexican with ‘an expressive shrug. ‘‘Well, if we should want 500 tres, what would they cost us?’" After some compli- cated figuring and much pantomime the Mexican announced that he could supply that number at fifty cents apiece. ‘‘And suppose we should want 5,000?"" inquired the official. “Holy Madonna! that 1s a large or- der,’” the native; must c seventy apiece.’’ He was then laughingly asked what price he would deliver 500,000 for. And after mere panto- mimic caiculations he solemnly an- nounced that for such a tremendous order as that he would have to charge for the ties. has concluded limita- answered geat least cents at least S2 50 apiece The railway official that, z tions, he would I notwithst x all his Connectreut Yar Danel Webster's Marketing.

The people are good enough, but I’m lIistning to that all-fired tune for the 3,465,557th time. How would you like, Ulysses, he continued, to hear that infernal melody over three million times? They have played it to me from Maine to Texas, and from Florida to Toronto, and here he wept afresh. But Gen. Grant quietly patted the hero on the shoulder and _ said: ‘Sherman, it is only one of the ven- alties of greatness. I suffer worse than you do—I've had seven million cigars given to me because ‘the people think I hke to smoke, $324 bull pups, and more horses than I can count. Sherman, continued the General, “whenever I see a horse, a cigar, a bull pup, 1 feel justas bad as you do, but I never give way to my féel- ings.
