A Battle Fought, and the Revolutionists Defeated! Tlie Now Orleans True American of the 23J u!t- puts us in possession of the following verv and highly important intelligence irom Mexico. The American says: "By a pa;?enger from Vera Cruz, we learn that a battle was faugh t, on the 13th July last, at Ella, (Mexico.) between the government troops, 900 men and three pieces of arlillary, commanded hy (Jen. Ganallzao, and federal troops, (revolutionists) GOO men, commanded bv General Asavado. The action lasted a half hour: the revolutionists were completely routed, and their destruction very greatGen. Asavado taken prisoner, with three other field officers, who were shot the next morning in the public square. The loss of the government troops was comparatively small. Our informant, who was chief of artillery in the federal troops, says that the interior of Mexico is in a very agitated state, and .that great deal of dilliculty will ensue to foe Central Government, owing to the rcvtittttionarr movements." CINCINNATI AND HER DUTY. There nrc two works of internal improvement, of vital importance io the future prosperity of Cincinnati. These are tho Little Miami Rail Road and Whitewater Canal. That the execution of these works would add most signally to the general commerce, man ufactories and wealth of Cincinnati, is admited by all who have given the subject the smallest consideration. That both of these work? are practicable, and may be made eminently profitable, to the stockholders, admits of no doubt. One of them has, by an excelcnt charter, been already authorized ; and the other w ill be at the ensuing session cf the Legislature. Shall they be forthwith constructed? It is for the citizens of Cincinnati, who ar so vitally interested in them, to answer. There is an obvious plan by which this object can be obtained. As all the rich and the poor, will be alike benefited, all should alike participate in the necessary measures for their construction. Let the city, in her corporate capacity, subscribe for .$'300,000 of Stock in the Little Miami Kail-road and and ,100.000 in the Whitewater Canal, and it will ensure the early completion w hich it is desirable should be su limited to the citizens of Cincinnati. Let the subject be dicussed: if there be objections to the plan, let them te stated. If Baltimore ran rind it to her interest to subscribe 3,000,000 in the Railroad connecting that place with the Ohio, raav not Cincinnati venture to subscribe hr-If a million or less, to secure two works, cither of which will probably confer as signal advantages upon her prosperity as the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-road will upon that city? The objections to this plan are again asked for. Let them be given fairly, and if they cannot be satisfactorily answered, then let the measure be abandoned. CY. daily Gaz. Trior Claim. A bit of a wag on board thesleam boat from Norfolk, being not a little disquieted in his slumbers by some legions of fellow lodgers who seemed to dispute his tiaim to the berth, called out, "Hallo Steward!'' "What massa!' "Bring me the waybill.1 "What for massa?" "1 want to see if these bed-bugs put down their names for this berth before 1 did if not, I want 'em turned out. Baltimore Transcript. The Boa.

The Ladies all. Whigs "Tis singular. 'There is one thing that we have noticed as being somewlnt singular, and for which no satisfactory reason has been given: it is that during the present canvass, we have nevr heard a female express herself in favor of an Buren and Johnson."' Utica Stor. No, friend Star, and you never will. The ladies are generally true patriots and fast friends to their country. They are not allowed to hold office, and are hence uninfluenced n.VMich motives as move the great mass of an Buren supporters. As for Johnson, white women don't much like the color of domestic relations.' Audacious. A few nights ago while a young lady was sleeping, nn impudent rat, attracted "by fragrance of her breath, approached and took a seat upon her chin. The freshness of the lip was irresistible, and feed her. His appetite was excited; and Y forthwith proceeded to satisfy its demands. He stuck his teeth in her lip," which called "ic lady's fancy away from the land of dreams "'d with one fell blow she knocked monsieur a(ross the chamber. We have often heard "f imprinting kisses on lips, cheeks and hands, b,'t never before understood the modus oper'"ft exactly. No wonder, that the ladies generally a're fastidious in the matter; imfintin or kisses must be horrible.

Terence O'Brien w as attached (in company with Peter Simple) to one of the British frigates, which was ordered to the West Indie. While there he attended "a dignity ball"' by the colored "ladies and gentlemen." After buying danced the last country dance with "Miss Minerva," he of course- had the honor of handing her into the supper room. "It was my fate," said he, "tositopposite to a fine turkey, and I asked my partner if I should not have the pleasure of helping her to a piece of the turkey breast. She looked at me very indignantly and said, "Curse your impudence, sir, 1 wonder where you laru manners. Sir, 1 take little turkey bosom, if you please." A Suockiko Nasty Foot. We have not, met with a newspaper story which has tickled our risibles more than the following which we rind credited to the New Hampshire Gazette: Dr. II J was one of the most able, talented, accentric surgeons of the last centnry. His practice embraced a large circuit, ai.d his fame ex tended to every part of the state. The doctor was one morning sitting in his office, poring over soma medical work fresh from the mother country via Boston, when a loud rap at the door aroused him. "Come in," said the doctor, and an old lady hobbled into the apartment, who seemed the very embodiment of dirt and negligence. " Doctor! I've got a desperat sore foot can you help it?" "I will try let me see it." The old crone proceeded to divest the understanding of the apology for the hose with which it was covered, and displayed to the astoundeddoctor a foot and such a foot! ByG d!" exclaimed the doctor, throwing up both hands in amazement "what a dirty foot!" La! doctor ye needen't be in such a wonderment about it there's dirtier feet than that in the world I'll warrant, aye, aad a dirtier foot than that in v-our i . . . . - own noiise, as proua as me young ladies, your daughters, are for all that." And the old hag cackled fourth her pleasure at the doctor's astonishment. "Woman if you can find a dirtier foot than that in my house, I will give you a guinea, and cure your foot for nothing." "Pon honor!"said the beldame." "'Pon honor," cried the doctor. The old wommcn striped olf the other stocking, and dispjayinga foot that beggared all description, grinned in the face of the astonished doctor, exclaiinibg, "(Jie'me the guinea! Gie'me the guinea! I knowe'd it! I wash'd 'tother fore I come here!" "Harvest Homb." The August political Harvest has come in finely. The crops of the Farmer of North Bend are more abundant than was anticipated. His Farms in Kentucky and Indiana, have given a rich return for the labors of the husr bandmen. His plantations in Louisiana, Alabama, and Missouri have all done well. Hut in North Carolina, where was reported that a northern insect was making great ravages, the yield is most beautiful! In all these states, the harvest weather was fine and the crops have been housed in excellent, order. The thrashing will commence in November. Albany Advertiser. Arkansas. The last number of the Little Rock Times gives partial returns of tie Legislative election in Arkansas. Thus far, four Whig Senators and eleven Whig Representatives and three V. B.

A vaporing braggart in Rhode Island was endeavoring to overcome the reluctance of a buxom dame te enter the marriage estate. He always came to her house armed with pistol and dirk, ami when he entered the room would take them from his bosom lay them on the the table saying 'Lie there, you that have slain your hundreds and thousands.' Ladies are often doged by braggarts, but the lass in question was resolved to put our hero's valor to the proof. She waylaid him on the way home in man's dress, and commanded him to dismount. He tremblingly obeyed; and she then made him crawl on bis hands and knees betwen the horse's legs. When the steed moved, he shrunk back, but she quieted him by pattinghiinon the flank, and saying 'Whoa, 'Ball, Whoa. She then hurried home and attiring herself as usual, the valarous lover ooon arrived and flung his arms on the table with his usual florid boast. 'Whoa. Ball, Whoa,' cried the dame, in the same tone 6he had assumed at the time of the attack on her dastard lover. There was no mistake here, and he fled from her presence, alas never to return.' Hint marked to Parents. A modern writer, has rethat a child that is much danced and talked to by a lively nurse, has many nioro ideas, than one that is kept by a silent and indolent person. A nurse should be able to talk nonsense in abundance. IIvPROrnoBtA. A fifth, case of death by this terrible disease, in New York, within two months, occurred on Wednesday last. Paul Smith, a lad between 17 and l1? years of age, was bitten by a dog in April last; the wound healed, and be experienced no inconvenience from it until Tuesday morning at breakff st, when the pouring of coffee xcited spasms, which increased so lapidly, that overcome with agony, lie died in about twenty hours from the first appearance ef the disease. We hear almost daily, of wounds inflicted by dogs supposed to be rabid, and several individuals, recently bitten, says the Commercial Advertiser, are now pas-sin"-their days in a condition of the most fearful apprehension. It appears to us that there is great negligence some where, in not effectually suppressing This direful evil. Boston. Traveler. Texas. Col. Wilson and his Lexington company of Texas emigrants, have returned in disgust. The Louisville City Gazette says.Co!. Wilson took with him a gallant corps men who would have thrown their breast between Texas iv danger, yet the Government declined awarding to them the promised land, and chagrined and disappointed, they bare returned to old Kentucky, who never gave a pledge, but she redeemed it.'

From the .A. Y, La press. LOUD TIMOTHY DKXTEIt. Below we give Lord Timotly Dexler's famous advertisement, which has latelv been revived by the oosion neraia. dexter was one of the most ec tcmnc men t ins lime. An army of evil spirits in humane shape, seemed to fol.ow him wherever he went, and yet his own good luck was always more than a match for the evil practised upon him by others. Hi foolish eccentricities, which in the outset piomised the ruin of himself mid. fortune, always resulted in making him more wealthy, and more an object of wonder to those who were practising their impositions upon him. Among the tricks played upon Lord Timothy, wat, with other, his being advised, and taking the aavu-e o. some malicious fellow, to send a caro of warming pans to the We3t Indies. He did so, and made money out of tlie speculation; the negroes making use of them for different purposes in the manufacurof molasses. At another time, beinj so advised iy those who are always ready to plav their tricks upon travelers, he toldhis felk w -citizens that he would pave a part of the streets of the town, providingthey would dub him Lord Timothy Derter. His townsmen being a plain, title-hating people, would not consent to grant the request, either for right or on equivalent in labor. .Nevertheless, he was long afterwards known as Lord Timothy Bexter, and with this title he maintained up to the hour of his death, that he was 'the greatest Philosopher of the East.' Dexter, too, bus been an author, and the title of his book was no less strange, than the character. It is known by the title ol A PiCKI.E FOIt THE IVNOWINU OSBS.' .Not a capital letter, hyphen, colon, semi-colon, comma, period, or any other point is found, until you come to near the close of the work, where there is from four to six pages, with the accompanied sage advice, that each reader is 'to pickle the dish according to his own liking.' While in Newburvnort. (Lord Dexter's place of residence.) a short time since, we bad an opportunity of seeing the ,U"J U1 his lordship portrayed to the life. Upon one of the most beautiful streets as you enter the tow n, there is a large dwelling, now improved as an hotel, d.B tinguished from all that surround it. Several images, carved from wood, and painted, are seen upon the front portico, large as life, representing some of the most distinguished men of oui country. The gardens, the out-buildings, in short every tiling connected with this and every other house, owned or occupied by his lordship, was peculiar to the man. The advertisement below, will, therefore, excite no surprise in the minds of our readers: 'Whereas I, Lord Timothy Dexter, having been truly informed, that, several audacious, nefarious, intrepid, night walking, garden violating, immature peach stealing rascals, ail the spawns of the devil, and cubs of Satan, do frequently, villainously , and burglariously assemble themselves together in my garden, therein piping, figl-ting, swearing, rouging, duck egg hunting, with many other shameful and illicit acts, which the modesty of my pen cannot express, this is to give you all notice, Delicypians, Capinicarians, base borne scoundrels, and old rascals, of whatover nation you may be, return ye my fruit and property , or by the gods, the heathen gods, 1 swear 1 will send my son Sam to Babylon, for blood hounds fiercer than tigers and fleeter than the winds; and mounted on my ntted horse Lilly, with my cutting sabre in my hand, I will hunt you through Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, until I can enter you in a cavern under a great tree in Newfoundland, where Belzebub himself can never find you! Hear! ye tatterdemallions, thieves, vagabonds, lank jawed, herring gutted, and tun-bellied plebe ians, that if ye, or any of ye, dare set your feet in with the sulphur of Cacacus, and roasted forever before the burning crater if -.Etna. Loud Timothy Dexter From the A'ational Intelligencer. TIIE ELECTIONS. The Delaware State Journal says: "The extraordinary success of the tYbigs in the Western and Southern elections is giving life and energy to their exertions in every part of the Union. It is rousing a spirit every w here which, we now firmly believe, will prostrate the dynasty of Andrew Jackson, and save the Constitution and liberties of the Republic. Let the Whigs remember that they are now not only contending against the cerruptions and usurpations of the last seven years, but against the man who has declared that he will persevere in these abuses, who has proclaimed that it is glory enough for him to iwe under the author of them; and, above all, against Presidential dictation acaiust a candidate whom Andrew Jackson has dic tated to the people of this Republic for their Chief Magistrate." Iihodk Island. In reference to Ihc approaching Presidedtial contest, the Providence Daily Ad vertiser remarks: "Whatever may be thought and said abroad of Rhode Island, she has never yet voted for Martin Van Buren, and, what is more, she never trill. The grounds of this statement we mean to explain at another time. Sufficient it is to add at the present, that the exertions made by the W-fcigs in other States have made a deep impression here, and that the members of the Whig party, seeing what energy and zeal may effect, are resolved that they will follow the examples in North Carolina and the other Slates which have thrown off the yoke of toryism." New Jersey. The Bridgeton (N. .1.) Whig says: "New Jersey is invariably claimed for Van Ruren. We are glad, however, to know that the Whigs are not disposed ro yield the palm short of a desperate struggle. From the upper counties we have the most satisfactory intelligence from our friends that they are fully aw ake to the importance of eneigetic exertions in the glorious cause of the people this fall, and that the ballot boxes will tell .i.of i.n.. nnt ht?n sleeoinjr at their potts. Lliab V m ' o - . Local questions which have heretofore paralyzed their efforts, do not at present exist, and hence we may look for a different result in the coming elections." , , , , New York.

We shall hear no more, we trust, after the success of the recent effort in North Carolina of suffering elections to go by default. Why should not Maine, as well as North Carolina, send a majority of Whigs to Congress! and why should New Hampshire, without a struggle, continue under the dominion of the Arch-demagogue, Isaac Hill?

The fault is as much the master s as the apprentices, it is a com mon but very erroneous, impression that no apprentice is held fordamages sustained by the master without indentures. This is a gross mistake. Apprentices and guardians are liable to the master for any damages which may be sustained by reason of misconduct or desertion; whether the nppn ntice is bound or not. But in general (hose that desert are light-headed, faithless, good-for-nothing dogs, w hose recover) w ould be of more serious inconve nience to the master than their loss.

From the JNVio Yorker if August '21th. APPALLING CALAMITY. We have rarely been called to record a more distressing accident, or one w hich has excited a more powerful sensation throughout this community, than that w hich occurred in the East River opposite this city on Wednesday morning last. The steam ferry-boat Jackson, while making her first trip across allmit-street ferry from Brooklyn, was run down by the Prvidence steamboat Roston. Capt. J ownsend, comi n 1 II -in) demolishing, so that she sunk in less than three minutes in live fathoms water, bv which catastrophe not less tliHii six persons were drowned. There were about twentyrive persons on hoard, of whom the remainder saved themselves by jumping on board the Boston or bv clinging to such fragments of the w reck as floated, until pi ked up hy boats. There were fourteen horses on hoard, attached to milk-carts and wagons, all of which were lost except one which swam to shore, drawing his milk-cart niter him. The slatements cf the Captain and engineer of the Boston with reirard to the cause of this catastrophe conflict directly with those of the ferry-men. The eflicers of the j'oston state that they were at the time intently occupved w i tli an attempt to avoid a row-boat which was crossing the liver, all being under the influence of the strong tide which sweeps arouud the north-west quarter of RrookTyn. They dec lare that thev used every exertion to avoid the Jackson as soon as they seen her? the Captain ringing the bell to stop, and ordering the engine to be hacked with all force; but too late, as the Jac kson was under the influence of the tide, and tho boats instantly came in contact. The captain and engineer of the Jackson assert the c ontrary of this. I'orour own part, wc know full well that the Jnckso.i was an unmanageable and unseaworthy boat, which sliould never have been placed on a ferrv in a nar row ami crowded channel, and a heavv res ponsibility rests on her owners on account of this calamity. But it seems apparent that the exercises ofa reasonable vigilance on (he part of the Boston's officers might have prevented this disastcrcus colliMon: and there is reason to believe that her boats were not lowered instantneously, as they should have been, or the loss of life would have been less considerable. Truth to snv, our large steamboats are too generally reckless in such cases acting on the principle cf having kevery one look out for hinis-clf.' We hope the excitement created by (his disaster, especially in Brooklyn will lend to salutarv reform in (his particular. The captain and engineer of the Boston have been held to hail in a large sum for (heir conduct. The persons were Silas Wright, Fdward Alexander, Edward Flanagan, and James Connelly, milkmen, w ith (wo small colored boys, chimney-sweepers. Mrs. Wright, wife of Silas Wright, had a most narrow escape, haviug been thrown into (he water, where she sustained herself by seizing hold of Edward Alexander, who soon sank exhausted. She, however, w as buoyed up by her dress, and remained above w;a(cr until picked up hy a boat few minutes after. About half an hour after Ihe accident, (he boat arose to the top of the water, and remained, it is supposed, about twenty minutes, vhen the tide caused her (o sink again. Emigratoin. For the lust six months, eight large vessels have, on the avarage, sailed from London every week, with emigrants for North America; among them farming laborers from Kent, mechanics from London, fee. Most of them, however, paupers, as usual, sent out by the English parishes to which they belonged. A Female in Breeches. The mania among the ladies to appear in the dress of gentlemen, seem to be increasing rapidly. We understand a young girl arrived at the White Swan, m Rare street, from Bcllefont, attired in (he dress ofa sailor hoy. She actually remained at the hotel two weeks before her real sex was discovered, and during this time occupied apartments with an old gentleman, who, to his great mortification, discovered it. He so far interesled himself in the boy as (o procure a birth in the whaling vessel for her, she having intimated to him a desire (ogo to sea, but upon coming to the pinch, she thought proper to return home to Bcllefont.
