on the last charge of Buena Vista th&ta scene worthy of the days of Washington, closed the day. hi glory.

u)o'you behold (hat dark ravine, deep sunken between these precipitous banks? Here no sunlight comcs, for these walls of rock wrap the past in eternal twilight.— Withered trees grow between masses of granite, and scattered stone make the bed of the ravine uncertain and difficult for 4 the tread.

Ilark! that cry, that

ts tain

rush like a moun

torrent bursting its barriers, and quick

as the

lightning flashes from darkness, the dismal ravine

bathed in red battle light.

From its northern extremity, a confused band of Mexicans, an army in itself come yelling along the pass, treading one anothor down as they fly, their banners, spears, s® horses and men tossed together in inextricable confusion.

By thousands they rush into the shadow

the pass, their dark faces reddened by

the

heated blaze of musketry. The caV-

crns

of the ravine send back the roar of

the

panic, and the grey rocks are washed by their blood. But the little, band who pursues this ar

my!

Who are they? You may see in their firm, horoic ranks, the volunteer costume of Illinois and Kentucky. At their head, urging his men with shouts, rides the gallant McKee, by his side young Henry Clay, that broad forehead, which reminds you of his father, bathed iu the glare as Iiia sword quivers on high ere it falls to kill. Thore, too, a wild figure, red with his own blood and the blood of his Mexican foes, his uniform rent in tatters, his arms bared to the shoulders, striking terrible blows with his good sword—Hardin, of Illiuois-rcomes gallantly forward.

The small but iron hand hurl the Mexicans from the heights into the ravine, and follow up the chase far down into the eternal twilight of that mountain pass.

Look As their musketry streams its steady blaze, you would think that one •f": ceaseless sheet of lightning bathed these 4 rocks in flames!

Over the Mexicans, man and horse, hurled back in mad disorder, the Americans dash ou their way, never heeding the overwhelming numbers of their foes, never heeding the palpitating ioruis beneath their feet, with bayonet, ami rifle, and sword, they press steadily on, their wellknown banner streaming overhead.

The howl of the dying war horse—hnrk Does it not chill your blood lo hear it The bubbling cry of the wounded man.

with the horses' hoof upon hi trampling his face into a hideous wreck docs it not sicken your soul to hear it

A hundred yards or more into the pass tho AiuoricanK had penetrated, when suddenly a young Mexican, rushing back upon their ranks, seizes the fallen flag ot Auahuac and dashes to death.

To see him, young and beardless, a very boy, rush with his country's flag, with his breast, upon that line of sharp steel—it was a sight to stir cowards into manhood, and it shot into "exican hearts like .an. electric flame. ..

Those who survived that fearful moment tell with shuddering triumph the deeds of the throo heroes-—McKee, Hardin and Clay.

McKee, you sec him yonder with his shuttered sword dripping with blood, be endeavors to ward oif the blow of those deadly lances, and tights on his knees when he can stand no longer, and then the combatants close over, him, and you see liiiu no more.

Hardin arose from a heap of slaughtered faces, his face streaming from its hide-

But most sad and yet most glorious of all, was to see the death of the second Henry Clay.

Yon should have seen him, with his back against yonder rock, his sword grasped firmly, as the consciousness that he bore a name that must not die ingloriously, seernod to fill his ever}' vein, and dart A deadly fire from his eyes

At that momeut he looked like the old man. For his brow, high and retreating, with the blood clotted hair wavcing back from its outline, was swollen in every vein as though his soul shone from it ere she fled forover. Lips set, brows knit, hands firm —a circle of men fighting around him—he dashed into the Mexicans until his sword was wet, his arms weary with blood.

At last, with his thigh splintered by a ball, he gathered his proud form to its full height, and fell. His face ashy with iutense agony, he bade his comrades to leave him thero to die. That ravine should be the bed of his glory.

But gathering around him a guard of breast of steel—while two of their number bore him alone—theso men of Kentucky fought round their fallen hero, and as retreating step by step, they launched their swords and bayonets into the faces of the foe, they said with every blow—" Hena

It was wonderful to seeMiBW that name nerved their-*m9ran!h-«*U«d~« smile to tho face of tb« dying htfW. How it'wouH

have made the old man of Ashland throb to have heard bis name yelled as a battle cry down the shadows of that lbnely pass.

It was the near the setting of the sun, when the men of Palo Alto. Kesaca de la

Pftlma

and Monterey, saw the clouds come

Along the ravine and up the narrow pass The hero bleeds as they bear him on, and tracks the way with his blood.— Faster and thicker the Mexicans swarm— they see the circle around the fallen man, even his pale facc uplifted, as a smile crosses its fading lineaments, and like a pack of wolves, scenting the forlorn traveler at the d'ead of njght, they come howling up the rock, and charge the devoted band with one dense mass of bayonets.

Up and on! Tho'dight shines yonder on the topmost rock of the ravine. It is the light of the setting,sun. Old Taylor's eyes arc on that rock, and there we will fight our way, and die in the old man's sightv.^*

It was a murderous "way, that path up the steep bank of the ravine! Littered with dead, slippery .with blood, it grew blacker every moment.with Mexicans, and the defenders of the wounded hero fell, one by one into the chasm yawning around.

At last they reached the light, the sword and bayonets glitter in sight of the contending armies, and the.bloody contest roars towards the topmost rock.

Then it was that gathering up his dying form—armed with supernatural vigor, young Clay started from the arms of his supporters, and stood with outstretched hands, in the light of the setting sun. It was a glorious sight which he, saw there amid the rolling battle-clouds, Santa Anna's formidable army hurled back into ravine and gorge, by Taylor's little band.— But a more glorious thing it was to sec that dying man, standing for the last time in the light of that sun which shall never rise for him again. "Leave me, lie shrieked, as he fell back on the sod, I must die, and I will die here Peril your lives no longer for me! Go! There is work for you yonder.

The Mexicans crowded on, hungry for blood. Even as he Spoke their bayonets glistening by hundreds, were leveled at the throats of the devoted band. By the mere force of their overwhelming numbers they crushed them back from the dying Clay. :'y'[

Only one lingered, a brave man, who hud known the chivalric soldier, and loved him long, lie stood there, and covered as he was with blood, heard these last words

Ttll my father how I die, inul give him these pistols That comrade, with the pistols in his grasp, fouirht his way alone to the topmost rock of thy path, only once looking back. He saw a quivering form canopied by bayonets. lie saw those outstretched hands grappling with points of steel—ho saw a pale face once lifted in the light, and then mouth, tlarkness rushed upon the life of young

Henry Clay. Header, these wore the soldiers that Corwin, who, backed by Lincoln in the Congress of (he United .States, wished welcomed with bloody hands to hospitable grave*. Abraham Lincoln voted in Congress against giving those soldiers supplies, and also against giving them or their widows bounty land- He is the candidate of the republican party for the Presidency.

popular sovereignty in the follow

mg strain: Popular sovereignty, as understood by the Democracy, was the most uureal and chimerical web that ever entangled thej feet of honest, men in the way of politics, You certainly do not wish it, unless it gives you more than you note hare. Here in Michigan you are popular sovereigns.— You can exercise your sovereignty in your .State (.Jovcrnmcnt, and the House and .Senate, and through them over the Territories. Why, then, should you wish to go to Kansas or Nov Mexico, leaving your pleasant homes for the purpose of exercising a sovereignty that you now can exercise over a Territort/ that your country I owns and controls

The doctrine of Mr. Sc ard (says the Cincinnati Enquirer) is the doctrine of the Republican party, and it is the doctrine of unalloyed despotism. The American citizens who tro to the Territories arc

This doctrine was asserted by King George the III and the British 'Parliament, who claimed tho right of making laws for the Colonies, aud it was the cause of the American Revolution. Our patriotic ancestors would not submit, to the outrage, and their descendants will not be recrcaut to their memory by imposing it upon the Territories.

IXTliKFKKIX WITH SLAVERY. The Black Republicans are all the while denying that they intend to interfere with slavery iu the States. And yet Seward held the following language in his Lansing

speech: Now, from the beginning of my existence in politics, I have secu this conflict, and I have considered that my bouuden duty as a.patriot was to sec to it, so far as it depended upon my action, that every new State should be a free State, and to diminish slavery in the slav? States so far as constitutionally, it could, be done.

If this is not interference with slavery in the slave States, then what is it SEWAUD says he considers it his bounden duty to diminish slavery in the slave States. So did JOHN BROWN.

THEOB'IT OF METEORS. The following is an extract from Profes

sor Henf, published in the Newark (N. J.) Mercury, in regard to the origin, aud nature of the meteors, which have Jatcly been observed in this country

The aurora borealis is undoubtedly an ..electrical phenomenon, and it is now highly probable "that the disturbances of the electrical equilibrium of the earth is due to-a magnptic induction of the sun. From' ^the latest observations It appears. that the frequency of- the aurora is snbjefct to regular recurrences and. that the period of these coincides with that of. a similar recurrence of the spots of the sun. The subject is now in proces of investigation, but it will require a number of years before the facts can be approximately made out. The meteor was undoubtedly a body of considerable magnitude, coming from celestial space into our atmosphere, (and probably passing out of it again.) The origin of these bodies is unknown, and it is not improbable that they arc portions of the original material of which the earth and other planets were constructed. The deception in regard to the bight arises simply from the fact that we cannot judge of distance alone by the mere sight of an object we are obliged to take into consideration its size, its distinctness and other circumstances, and, therefore, when an object appear.? under entirely unusual condition, the judgment we form of its conditions must bo entirely at fault. If it be in reality a.large body at a great distance, and we imagine it a sinaH'one, such as, for example, a sky rocket, it will appear at the distance of the latter. The error arises in-applying the habitual judgment of things of which we have an abundant experience to those of rare occurrence. vv

WA fHIl TBOl:OH(»MHUl'l.l) be KEPT (,LKA. Pure water is a great luxury to the palate of a thirsty horse,-and every man who is fortunate enough to be the owner of so noble an animal, should sec that the wants of the same are properly provided for.

Unfortunately very few persons realize the importance of supplying domestic animals with pure water yet they stand in need of it, whenever thirsty, and as a matter of profit to ourselves, and charity to them, wc should see that their wants are well supplied.

Pure water is very nutritious, and as a nutritious agent, its value is impaired when of inferior quality, or when mixed with indigestible foreign substance, such as is often found in watering-troughs located by the wayside.

Some very interesting experiments have lately been made on horses belonging to the French army, in view of testing their endurance as regards the deprivation of water, and it was found that some of them lived twenty-live days on water alone it is a singular fact that seventy-live per cent, of the weight of a horse's body is composed of fluid.

Strange icater, as it is called, often has a bad effect in the digestive organs when first used, and in order to guard against its consequences, English grooms always provide for the wants of their horses, when at the racc-coursc, away from home, by furnishing them with an abundant supply of pure water to which they have been accustomed. This water is transported from place to place iu hogsheads.

SSrTheRaleigh (X. C.) Standard, which supports the Breckinridge and Lane ticket. holds the following language toward Mr. Douglas and his supporters

Wc have no inclination to say harsh things of Mr. Douglas or his friends.— They are honorable men and patriots, we doubt not. Mr. Douglas has fought many a brave and manly battle for the South— lie has stood by us in many a dark and trying time—ho lias stood in the "deadly breech" against the abolition hordes, and with a giant's might hurled them back or scattered them, with fallen crests, to the right and the left. May our tongue be palsied and our arm powerless before wc write or speak against such a man admire him for his boldness and we honor him for his patriotism and we do not believe the presidency could add a laurel to the garland of deathless fame already wreathed for his brow.

In a recent speech, Senator A. O. P. Nicholson of Tennessee, spoke as follows, according to a correspondent ville Democrat:

Our usual quiet town has been the scene of a domestic dramaj wherein it is" alleged has stalked the triple crime of incest, murder and adultery. The family to which this startling charge pertains is one of the oldest and most highly respected in Lawrence county. The head of the family is well known to ipost .of. the public men in the State, hariiig been connected with the Legislature, and al60 filled a responsible position in the House of Representatives. Rumors of these things-' have been afloat two weeks or, so. .When first it was whis-. pered it was too shocking to be believed, but so positive were the charges and so general did the rumor become, that a committee of citizens were appointed to investigate the matter and ascertain the truth. The charges were, that there had been an incestuous connection between a son and a daughter of the family—that a child had beTm born, living aud well—that to avoid disclosure the child was disposed of by violent means, and that the mother of those lecherous children bad been guilty of adultery with a physician resident of the family. The author of these charges was a woman who lived in the family.— Her testimony was taken by the committee. But she did not command full credence and corroborating proof was necessary.' She indicated the place where the child was buried. It was sought for and not'found at first, and doubts were entertained of the truth of the tale. A further search, however, resulted iu the exhuming of the body of a newly born infant, with unmistakable marks of death by violence. The Coroner was summoned, and a verdict rendered in accordance with the partial facts discovered. It was the intention of them acting in the matter to have warrants issued for the immediate arrest of the entire family. They would undoubtedly have been arrested to-day, but on Saturday night, by the midnight train, the entire .family flew westward. Thus confessing the charge, aud confirming the doubting convictions of many who would gladly have learned that the family were not chargeable of such crimes.

The subscription having been closed, the entire fund is found to be $184 50. The sum does not even at first sight impress the reader with a sense of its magnitude and liberality but when wc add that the dollars in question arc of the Ilaytian paper currency, each worth 110 more than six American cents and that the grand total is actually only eleven dollars and seven cents, the splendor of this national testimonial may be realized.

The human mind can grasp any defined length of time, however vast but this is beyond time, and too great for the limited conception of man. It has no beginning, and it can have no end. It can not be multiplied, it can not be added unto you may strive to subtract from it, but it is useless. Take millions of years from it, take all the time that enters the compass of your imagination, it is still whole and undiminished as beforeall calculation is lost.

CRAWFORDSYILLE, MONTGOMERY ".COUNTY, INDIAM, SEPTEMBER^, 1860. WHOLE NUMBER 954.

SKIRMISHING ON THE FRONTIER— PURSUIT AND SLAUGHTER OF KIOWS [sic] AND CAMANCH INDIANS BY

GOVERNMENT TROOPS. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin, writing to that journal from

"Camp on Platte River, near Fort Kearney, N. T.," under date of August 11, gives an account of the recent fighting between the Indians and Government troops, from which we extract the following

Hardly had we marched six miles when our advanced guard saw about forty Kio was at about two miles distance, in front.— They immediately pursued them, and would have succeedcd in catchiug them, had not the country been so deeply intersected by ravines and hills .that it was impossible for them to make as good way as the Indians, who had the knowledge of the ground, and took advantage of it. The command followed at a rapid pace, and having traveled over a rugged and mouutainons country for some twelve miles, we at last got sight of the whole band of Indians, some six hundred in number. They were gathering like bees from every nook aud corucr which our eyes could command, and the country seemed to be alive with them for miles around us.

It first appeared to us that they intended to make a stand and fight, and arranging our arms while we formed in battle-or-der, two squadrons were ordered to charge them and engage them, the second squadron keeping somewhat in the rear as reserve, to prevent the enemy from surrounding us in our rear. As soon though as the Indians, who proved to be Kiowas and Cainanchcs, perceived our movements and our rapid approach, a panic seized them and they took t.o their heels as quick as lightning. Now commenced a chasc of which you have not the least idea, wc pursuing them in every direction and although they were some three miles ahead, we, at times, could get withiu shooting distance of them, and of course would let them have it. They seemed to be all strapped on their saddles, for every one of them who was shot or wounded only reeled in his saddle. Then some of his tribe would immediately come to his assistance aud bear him along, until a ravine could be reached wherein to hide the cardass. The ground wc charged over was mountainous and cut by deep gnlleys, which wc either had to leap over or travel around and as our horses were in no very good condition, we could not get at the rascals as near as wc intended.

Having chased them therefore, for about fifteen miles, and the distance between the flying red-skins and ourselves becoming greater and greater, tlie "rally" was sounded, and wc concentrated upon a big hiil. Such was the fright of the enemy that they left bows, arrows, powder, balls, rifles, shields, ponies and almost everything else behind them in their flight. These trophies were picked up by our Indians and grcati}' valued. The Kiowas have splendid animals, and their knowledge of the country, also, enabled them to get off.— The result of this day is about thirty of the enemy killed and twenty wounded, aud on our side two friendly Indians killed, three wounded and one soldier missing.— Of our horses some five or six were killed,

THE REPl'BMVAX PARTY A MISUNION PARTY. Sumner and Seward, in the consciousness that now or never is their time—that if the country can be saved a few years longer, the abolition fanaticism will be the scorn of the people—have thrown off all disgusc, and are boldly preaching a crusade against the social order of the South, the "irrepressible conflict" which can only terminate, unless it is arrested, in the desolation of the Southern country, and in the destruction of the Southern people.— We know that the masses of the North do not contemplate or design this result. But carried away by the incendiary language of these modern Catalines, they are about to put the seal of approval to these demoulikc principles, by voting for the candidate put forward by these conspirators as their nominal head. Such a vote is a direct threat of perpetual hostility, and ultimate destruction to the Smith. If it docs not mean this, then. it is like the words and

WASHINGTON C'OUIlKMI»0

T/ic Political Chess-Board—Mr. Lincoln's Vines—Understanding, between' the Breckinridge and Lincoln Men

Administration in Floritla--President's Letter—Breckinridge's Speech. WASHINGTON, Thursday. Sept. 13. To the Editor of the Enquirer

Strange as have been the moves on the political chess-board this campaign, stranger yet are to take place. The two scctionab parties—She Y'anoeyitcs and the Lincolnitcs—are drawingjjradually closer and closer together, and will soon be. in fond embrace. Indications north and South, point with infallible' certainty to that conclusion. Throughout the Southern States the Disunionists arc yielding their extreme opinions, backing down from their threatening attitude, and even Yancey has turned to making Union speeches. The causes of this are of easy explanation.— Mr. Douglas' speech at Norfolk, irginia, has mainly produced the stampede. His bold defiance of the Disunionists, and his openly avowed determination to give his official aid to hang them, should they be convicted of treason, opened their eyes to their danger, aud determined tlicni to pursue a different line of policy, provided they bad certain assurances from the leaders of the Republicans. That they have got. You will have perceived, within a week or so past, how coldly the speeches of Mr. Seward are received, by the managers of the Republican party, and the assurances that arc made of t'.ie conservative character of Mr. Lincoln's views on slavery. He is iu favor of the enforcement of of the Fugitive-slave Law, and opposed to any aggressive movements ou slavery where it exists. No Congressional action in relation to slavery in the Territories will be recommended by him, as there will be no necessity for such legislation as long as the African slave trade is'proliibited. Such are the conservative features of Mr. Lincoln that arc held forth to the South.— All that is to be taken as satisfactory by .the Southern Disunionists, and they are to accept his Administration and yield it their support, until some overt act aggressive 011 the rights of the South" Khali be committed by it. But that is notall. The Scctionalists of the South arc to do more and receive therefore a rjui-d pro r/uo.

The friends of Southern Sectioiialists in the North, who sail under the Breckinridge and Lane flag, and who are mostly retainers of the Administration are to aid in the election of Lincoln, either by voting directly for the Republican ticket, or begetting up separate tickets of their own. In return for that, favor, the Republican Administration, should Lincoln succeed through the aid of the Northern Breckinridge wing, are to retain in office or appoint thereto, in all the Southern States, none but friends of the Secessionists.— Such is the understanding that has been had here between the ilepublican and Breckinridge Executive Committees.—

The Administration are in great glee

over the partial returns from Nothing pleases the President so much as to hear of a democratic defeat. The Federal blood that coursed in his '-eius in his youth now warms his heart, when he hears of any disaster to the democracy. His orders have been circulating from Maine to California, for his officials to do all in their power to defeat the regular nominees of the Democracy. They obeyed orders in Maine and helped to swell the Republican majorities. Private news from Kanridsic

Smith of Virginia, is the subject of much merriment here. Every time a Douglas head falls, reference is immediately made JVic^to Ac'Smith letter, to ascertain the true interpretation of the epistle. The President denies that Douglas states the truth but his whole conduct toward the friends of Mr. Douglas shows that Douglas did tell the truth. Not a friend of Douglaa will be left in office if tho President can discover his whereabouts. Senator Bright is hunting victims for tho Old Publio

The inovemcuts in New York and Penn* sylvania, and the indications from Indiana, Illinois and California, show that it is impossible for Mr. Lincoln to be clectcd President. If any Republican has seriously entertained the idea that his party was going to be successful in this campaign lie might as well banish it forever. While it may be difficult to say who will be President, there is none in saying who will not be. Neither Lincoln nor Brcckinridge will be the succcssful one. Brcckinridgo will not get over forty electoral votes, allowing him the most liberal calculation.—— Mr. Bell will beat him about two to oue in the Southern States, and will be one of tho three returned to the House, should the election go there. But the election will not go to the House. It will be dccidcd by the Electoral College.

thus justly compliments the inventive talent of the American people American genius is at this moment at the head of all the nations for mechanical invention. I learn from Coryton, the last Eaglish writer on patents, that she took out her first patent in 1790 in 1800 took out ^0 patents in 1810, 2'2'2 in 1830, 551 in 1840, 452 in 1849, 1,076. At this date she headed Great Britain, and has maintained the lead ever sincc.

Europe teems with the products of her mechanical genius. Her inventors draw large per-centagcs from England, and no Englishman grudges them, for they leave us still their debtor. The pre-eminence this nation has attained in mechanical invention rests 011 the rock of statistics, and my little paltry experience can neither contradict nor confirm statistics still
