Shoop wora inactiv Willinm Charles Macready, whoso death is ane uouncad at the advanced ago of 80, was the son of s succoseful thontrical managor, who desired that hie son should follow oue of the liboral pro= fosslons, Just as young Macroady was about to onter Oxford, Lis falhor's affairs bocamo hiope- losaly involved, and ho wae forced to sbandon bia nniversity course, He mndo bis flust ap- pearance as Ronwco at Birmingham in 1810, His Orset sppesrance in London was 84 Orestes, in “Tho Distressed Mother,” when Lo was only 43 yeara old. Edmund Kean mado one of the (udionco who halled him with hoarty ap- plause, Miarivals for popular favor wore mo- tors like Xean, Kemble, and Young, but he rosa steadily in'popular favor till he ranked as ono of tho finost of Bhakapearean delincators, As a mausgor, Macrosdy was uob pocuniarlly succons- ful, and loat large sums in attompting to olovate #ho oharaotor of dramatic amusoments, His first visit to this country was In 1820, On a subse- quent visit, in 1840, cocurred the desporate riot st tho Astor Plnoo-Opora HousoIn Now York, whon ho wan attacked by n mob of tho friends of Edwin Forrost, aud compolled to fly for lifo, Tho military woro vallod cut to suppress tho dig- turbanco, which continued until thoy fired on thoe crowd, killing twonty-two mon and sorlously wounding thirly others. Macready loft tho 8tago in 1851 with a handsomo fortuno, and ling since oocupled lis time with schomos for tho educatlon of the poorer olassos, It s to bo fonred that tho Modocs have de- torminod to oxtorminato our troops. Bo far at lonst 03 tho polioy of oxtormination has boon pursued, thoy have beon tho exterminators ; our brave woldiers tho oxlerminatod. Batur- day lsst, two companies of artillery and & company of infantry wore archod, more lke shoop to the shambles than soldiers to batile, into a tangled labyrinth of crovices and cavos on the southern odgo of the Lava-Bods, only to find themsolves too lato swrounded by an ambusoade which poured s fatal ond consoless flro upon thom from invisible’ loopholes and from in- accesslble rotronts. Tscape was impossible. Thoy sought stiolter in the hollows and crovicos, whera thoy wore butchered nt leisure by tho arvagos, many of whom woro armed with two or threo rifles apiece, with whioh thoy kopt up an unending firo from their unseen holos. Re- inforcomonts woro sent from tho camp, but bad to roturn without offecting s junction with the , doomed party. For two days the men lay in tho cavities, trying, in tho herolo words of their Oaptain, *to fight aud die lke mon aond soldiors,” but uttorly holploss cithor * to dofond thomeolves or reach their foe. On Monday morning thoy woro roseued; 22 doad, scalped and disfigurod beyond recognition, and 18 wounded, were brought back to camp, and b aro still missing. Four Modocs are ro- ported killod, P g NEW PARTIES AND PROTECTION. 'Tho Now York Tribune ssserts that tho timo for forming o now party is not auspicious, snd cspoolally it is not desirable to.have o porty op- posed to a protootive tavift, It snys: Wo can understand, of courdo, the necossity party organ feols for n party, and tho nocessity of a party for s0mo sort of diatinetivo principle ; but wo submit that evon if the,condition of the country and tho imperativo dcmanda of the rovenuo did not at this moment mako tho question of froo trade nn impmicticablo nbstrac- tion, tho finality to which tho party itself consented, under the sanclity of a natfonal platform, should for- bid its taking it up oa an dssuc, *The suggestion tat there is anything in the condition of the country and tho imperative do- mands of tho rovonuo that makes froo trado, as it is undorstood in this country, an impracticablo obotraction, is not warranted by the facts. Tho nbolition of Quties on all imports is ono thing, while a tariff for revenue purposes is anothor, Great Britain may bo considered a8 hiaving a froo trado polivy, and, 88 opposed to tho theory of ‘protection, it s proclacly tho freo trado policy neoded in this country. Wo ropoat that thoro is nothing in tho condition of tho country that rendors such &, farkf impracticablo; on tho con- trary, thero ia overything to commend it as tho one thing needed to make thoindustry of the peo- plo remuncrative. We labor under tho oppresu- iveovils of o doprociated currency and fictitious volues. The Commiesioner of tho Consus, in ar- xonging his tables of industry and comparing the rosults with the results of former yoars, points out the differonco botwoon the roal and the seom- ing values of to-dsy. Tho tables compriso tho twolve months ending June 1, 1870, pud they show that tho gross value of all articles manu- fnotured in the United Btates was $4,203,825,442, —an inerenso sinco 1800 of 108 per cent. Upon this point tho Commissioner says : Aftor much thought and exteneive inquiry on the subject, and the application of numerous tests, {ho-| Suporintendent is disposed to rogard 56 per cont na o just statoment of tho ncronso I prico for all classos of mechanical and manufacturing productions, b tweon 1800 aud 1870 ; that is, (hat manufactured artie cles of the samo quality—averaging all Lranches of production—which would havo bocn $1,000,000,000 fn 1800, would havo been worth $1,660,000,000 in 1870, This would Jeavo the Jacroaso of menufacturing pro- ductionin lo ton years to bo represcated by 53 per cent. Trom this it will bo soen that, during tho ten years onding 1870, the actual increase in the natlonal industry waa but 52 por cont; the other &G per cont is the differenco botween the roal and the seoming,~botweon what wo are actually making and what wo mppear tu bo making, Under tho combined offects of & depreciated curronoy and o protective tariff, tho business which appeara on the books is Inrgoly fictitious, R a8 opposed to actual values. The man who rated tho woekly wagos of his laboror at tho curront cost of a barrelof flour dealt justly to the labor- er, and conducted his business upon o roal value. The man who manufactures 100,000 pounds of wool doos not Lave his buslness ineroased by an increnso in the cost of the wool, and o con- sequent increaso in the cost of the manufactured goods; but an increase of tho amount of wool converted into oloth is an actual incroaso of pro- duction, Tho prolective tarift has for its object an artiflcial fucroaso of pricos; it Incronses tha cost, and therefore checks tho inoronso of pro- duction. It diminighes the purchasing or oz changeablo valuo of labor, and roducos consump- tion, ho protactivo tax follows tho commodity in all its futuro manifostations. It is attended by o further incroase in the incidence of taxa- tion, It requires moro monoy to import a givon quantity of goods; and the profits on the enlarged capital act ns an incroaso of ftax wupon tho things imported. Tho cost of matorinls in all tho manufacturcs of tho United Btates Lasbeon groatly advanced by tho tariff, without any increaso of tho actual valuo of the things produced, This fictitious cost is substantially a tax which has to be paid out of those productions which, from their na- ture, are not protected, but which must continuo to bosold nt their real valuo, and, of course, can only bo exchanged ata groatloss in tho amount of return commoditics. Tho valuo of aorn {8 measured, not o much by the prios it Lrings in dollars aud conts aa in the amount ot othor commoditios it will purchase por bushol, Auy logislation which ndds to tho price of iron, or olher manufactured goods, practieally con- flecatos the corn needod to pay tho differonce, Aucther fallacy is that protoction increases the rovonuo, This Is demonstrated by the British tarlft, whore the wholo range of manufactured goods aro admiited free of duty, and rovonuoe is collectud from a fow articlos only, None of tho dutles levied by the British tarlif aro proteotivo, and the wholo tax is paid iuto the Tronsury, Our tariff iy fafihioned eo s to lovy the greatost «amount of taxto produco the loast propor- ‘tion thereof in rovonuo, Wo hove gone 80 far ay - to ropeal the duties that were purely for revenue, Wo supposo there ia no question ihat tho Amorlean tariff conld Do limited to Toas than thirty londing articlos, aud yot produce all tho rovonup that is nooded, Bub wo tax many hundreds of artioles, tho very objoct of tho tax in many casos boing to ropol rovenuo thorofrom., It ovor thoro was an occasion for a new party to nccomplish the roeouo of ‘the stricken Indus- tryof the country from tho abuses which nro destroying it, 1t {8 furnishod by tho tarift; cor- talnly, any now party proposiug to reform oxist~ ing abusos, that shall Ignoro this quostion of protoction, and propose to leave it untouchod, can hordly olsim to bo aoting faitly to- wards thoe country, mnor can ¢t lhon- ostly oalm to bo &, Roform party. We kuow thore nro many othor abuses that noed roforming ; we kuow that the hand of purifioation is prossingly nooded ; that corrup- tion porvades oll dopartmonts of tho Govern- mont, and that dishonosty is fast becoming a budgo of oftico, But thero i no kind of abuso undor {ho Govornmont that Is not due largely to thoe principle of protection, which is nothing loss than Uoonsed robhery. It e vain to talk of re- forming any branch of the Governinent, and at the samo timo uphold and maintain aa o prinel- plo that it {5 not only right for Congross to lovy taxos for any purposes othor than neoded rove- nuo, but thet it is the duty of Congross to imposo taxes upon tho country na spooial bountios to cortain classes, In ordor that tholr spoclal business mey yiold profits which it othor- wiso would not. That tho law may tax A and B 18 concoded, but tho lnw cannot tnke tho property of A and glvolt toB; aud protootion atrippedof all its shams moans this and nothing olso. - Thoro mny or may not bo & now party; but any new party that shall not mako tha reponl of sl pro- teotivo’ taxos & oardinal point in its polioy will be, ns it ouglit toho, unsuceossful, ovon nsagainst ‘othor parties notoriously corrupt. A Roform porty, to deserve publie confidenco, must Lave clean hands, and no privato comiracts with tniquity, e ] Tho Common Council on Monday night re- poated the operation of postponing the passago of the ordinance granting the right of way, npon cortain conditions, to the Chicago & 8t. Paul Rallway Company through cortain atrects of the city. Tho ronsous urged for this mon-aotion woro sublimely impudeut, In tho first place, Ald. Xohoo declored that tho Company had not sottled with him concoring cortain property bought of im, and ho opposed the possago of the ordinanco until his bill had beon sntisfied, The report of the proceodings contnins tho fol- lowing: Ald. Longaclier favored delay, {o aliow injured land- holders a chanco to bring in amendments, Ald. Carney favored postponcment. Noconsclentious Aldorman would voto Lo take away tho personal rights of any member of tho Couneil. Ostonsibly to give Ald. Kohos an opportunity to recolvo whatovor hia domand may bo agafust tho Company, tho ordinance was again post- poned. Tho protonas, howover, i ontirely too weak, It is undorstood that the Railroad Com- pany rofuses to employ any porson to socure the passage of tho ordinance; iu other words, ro- fusen to submit to a lovy, and the majority of the Counctl, by thoir action, leave themsolves open to tho suspioion that they sympathizo with thoso who insist thnt tho Company ehall contribute to the corruption fund. It is to bo hoped tuat the Railway Company will remain flrm, aud rofuse to give one dollar to any porson for tho passage of the ordinance. There is a question of principle iuvolved whick may as woll bo sottled now as at apy othor time, and that is, whother legislation by tho Common Council shall bo bought and gold, or shall be ‘based upon public intorests. ‘This ordinanco seems to Liavo beon nolected as o test of tho powor to compel tho paymentof blackmail, and the timo has now come when thero should bo n fair and square voto, by which the public may know on which side of tho question Aldermen stand, S — A morchant of this city informs s that during the last year his firm has reccived goods from Londonand Liverpool, and from Italian sod French ports on tho Moditerrancan, recelving them here by way of Now Orleans and Montreal, at loss froights, 1nid down In Chlcago, thunit wouldhavehad to pay for bringing thom hore from Now York, Boston, and Philadolphia. Tho win- tor rate from Now York to Chicago on thia clasg of goods is $1.25 per 100 Ihs, and tho spring rato 18 81 por 100; while the froight from Marseillesand othor Europeanports to New Orleanais from $5.50 to 86 por ton, and from Now Orloans to Chicago G0 conts por 100 hs, making for the through dis- tance sbout 80 conte por 100, If any porson Lias any doubt as to the importance of oponing the Bt. Lawronce River to direct trado with Montreal, Wo commond thoso faots to thom. Even ua it Is, we can import from Europe overy varioty of goods, by way of Montros], and havo thom delivered in warchousos in this city at from 20 o 80 por cont loss for freight than tha costof bringing thom from New York to thisclty, Of nccessity, shipments honeo by the samo routo will rosult in & liko economy of cost for trans- portation. There is no good renson that can bo urged why the West should pay this excossive tax on transportation, and the onlargomont of the 8t. Lawrence routo should bo oncouragod by the immodiate inoreaso of our trade by the way of Montreal. Two oxtremely intorosting statoments havo ro- contly beon mado; relutlve to tho Dattios of Corinth and Gottysburg, which throw somo now light upon thoto sanguinary contests.

Earl Van Dorn, on the 16th of Ootobor, 1862, eloven days after his ropulse by Roseorans, in tho attack on Corintl, which was rocently published for tho first timo in a Bouthorn nowspaper, In this lottor (writton to Col.
