say, the lallen have met a death of devoted patriotism and high renown. The living may rejoice in conviction that their valor
has crowned with new glory, the prowess of Americans arms. TLeir government and iheir country will justly ppreciate 1 their signal services. The terms of the capitulation of Montereyall important as tha possession of that post is to the further prosecution of the war will arrest the attention of the public mini. The surrender by the Mexican army of ihe military stores, provisions, and cannon collected in the ciiy, will add very considerably to the resotirces,of our troops, hnd weaken, in a greater proportion, the means of the enemy. The despatches of General Taylor do nol inform us fully of the representations and views upon w hich ha acted, in granting lo the enemy tubjtctt however, to instructions and oiders of the government in armistice of eight veeks, during which time, in the absence of such orders, neither army is to advance beyond a specified line, about thirty miles m advance of Mmierey. It must be borne in mind, however, ihal, in demanding such a suspension of hostilities in one of our lines of operation, the Mexican general may very probaly have held out to Gen. Taylor prospects of a pacification between the two countries, which, in fact, do nol exist. Be this as it may, however, we under
stand that Lieut. Armistead, the bearer of despatches from our government to Gen. Taylor, communicating the failure of our offer of negotiation, and enjoining renewed vigor in the prosecution of the war, had arrived in New Orleans on the 1st instant, and is said at once to have chartered the steamboat Galveston lo convey him to Brazos St. Jago.

This beloved and venerable man of the cross left this place on Friday last, for his station in N. Albany, wheie lhe Conference has assigned him. There was something truly mournful in lhe scene of his departure. He was in old age, leaving the scenes of his youth. He was leaving, probably never to return again, the land which he most loved, and fur w hose citizens he had spent a long life of devotion, energy and
patriotism, for their present and eternal welfare. He was leaving, in obedience I . . . : . . . .. .!

Correspondence of the Ind. American L.xixgton, Ky, Oct. 17, 1846. ' Dear Clarkson: I took passage a few evenings ago on the Blue Wing for Frankfort the Capitol or the State. The Ohio was very low and lhe Captain had his fears that we would get aground before we entered the Kentucky bu l by moving slow and cautiously over the bars we made out to go ahead by rubbing bottom now and then. It was night when we arrived at the mouth of the Kentucky river but it was a bright moon-light hour, lhe queen of darkness was looking out upon us from the east, if not in smiles al least in silver complacency. The river as you know is quite a narrow stream in
many places, not more than 80 yards wide. The banks on both sides were marked with high bluffs upon wh ich now and then we could see noble mansions beautifully surrounded wilh shrubbery orchards and forests of locusts. Whercever we saw dwellings there were abundant and cheering indications that the inmates lived at home. We had passed but a few miles from
the mouth before we came to a lock, I was anxious to see the boat pass through it, and just as we entered, I took my seat in the forecastle where I could notice lhe operations of lifting a steam boat some fifteen feet by the rapid admission of the water into the lock. It was about five minutes from lite time we were admitted into the lock 'intil the ropes were unloosed, by which, the boat was tied to give position, and the engine and wheel began to move us from, our prison-like and noisy m oorings. These locks of which I think there are four from the mouth lo Frankfort, have been built at a vast expense, (for they are lhe most substantial and lhe largest I ever saw,) make the travelling on this river
very expensive, the tolls being so exorbitantly high, that but few Steam boats can stand it. I believe at the present there ts but one boat in the trade from Louisville, and one from Cincinnati, and lam informed they clear but very little nearly everything th?y make goes to pay toll.
a pretty good one, but as isthecuslom with
the morning train, we came along at the slow rate of six miles an hour. With this I was not so much displeased, as it gave me an opportunity of surveying the coun
try, which indeed was splendid to the eye of the traveller, while the numerous fine dwellings, seen in the distance, lent an interesting enchantment to Ihe view. Just before the dinner bells rang we were at the depot in the cily of Lexington, wiih more than a dozen darkies vociferating in their own peculiar dialect that they had fiine carriages to ''take all de passengers anv wtinr rln nlpncf to an n I mnrf bi.

Ohio Election -The Result. The Returns from ibis Slate, come in o scattering, that we are compelled to omit the votes in the several counties, and give a general summary of the official returns as ihey have been reeeived. The Cincinnati Gazette of the 20ih inst. gives the returns from 71 counties, and says: "The net Whig gain, for Governor, is 451, and 12 coun. out, vi?. Lucas, Wood, Williams, Van Wert, Paulding. Putnam, Ottowa, Henry and Defiance, in the Notrhwestern section of lhe State, Mahoning in the East, and Meigs and Lawrence in the South. In 1844, these 12 counties gave Hartley a majority of 585 over Tod. To arrive at lhe probable result, we mnsl add to tbe net Whig gain of 45 J in the 71 counties, Bartley's entire majority in 1844 viz. 1277: and this gives 1723 as the majority now of Mr. Bebb; "enough for all
practical purposes," as Mr. Ritchie sometimes says, but not so much as we hare been expecting. The Ohio State Journal sends us a slip dated 8 o'clock Saturday evening, which says: ' The Locofoco majority i 800 in Monroe." Heretofore it has been reported at 1280, and this is the number that enters into the above calculations. If the Journal
is correct, 333 mnst be added lo the Whig gain, and this makes it 831, and Bebb'sl probable majority 2108. Congress. A gentleman in the cily whoi lefl the Gallia District on Friday last, says!
Mr. Vinton is undoubtedly elected. Lawrence gave him p large majority. Mr. Richey, we have no longer a doubt has been elected in the Morgan District over Mr. Johnson. With Mr. Vinton, conceding the election of Mr. Kennon instead of Mr.Cowen, in the Belmont district,ihe result stands II Whigs, 9 Locos, and I Independent Dink and Tariff member, ' S-'a'e Senate. From lhe bestinfenna
with desoatches lor Gen. Tavlor. It is
believed tbe Union says, that he oarriesout instructions for terminating "the temporary cessation of hostilities." The Union adds; When Gen. Taylor, after having covered himself and his army with laurels, agreed to "a temporary cessation of hostilities," he was "prompted" to it by "recent cbaoge of government in Mexico, being fa vorable to the interests of peace." Qcn, Taylor did not know, could not have; known, the failure of the overUres for immediate negotiation. He could not ttavt known that tbe new government of Mexico had transferred to the uew Congress of tbe fitb December, tbe decision of the qucntioR whether they would or would not negotiate with us. He has, in all probability, by this time, received the information througtj tbe despatches which are in Leut. Armstead's care. And, we repcat.'.'Uhese despatches will doubtless induce Gen. Taylor to concentrate his troops, and collect bis resources as rapidly as possible, with a view of resuming his operations vigorously as soon as be vhall receive orders to terminals the armistice These orders, wo have uo doubt will promtly be issued from Washington We trust they may reach Gen- Taylor in sixteen days, the lima which Captain I'aton performed tha routa to Washington. In such an event, little delay (at the worst) can be occasioned, and even that little time can be usefully spent in securing; more completa and effective preparation."
Sound Reasoning. Our fair sister of th New York Pearl, gives tbe following opin--ion in rogard to marriage. We wish that all her sex were of the same opinion; "It is our qecided opinion that any girl had better marry a ternperat9 moral man, without one cent in his pocket, than oae who is worth fifty thousand doilare, if given to drunkenness and other fashionable vices. Her chance for happiness and prosperity is a thousand times better."
