Gr a. Taylor Sad Hdtic. On Tuesday morning last cur Town was visited by" a very heavy shower, accompanied by constant di.char ges of electricity, and deafening; peals of thunder. It 6tmck the stablo of Mr. William Adam in this place, dc-injr no serious damage, however, except treelirp the bottle and spilling all the whiskey of dadJy L., which he kept for convenience hid in ths hay. Pet. W. W. Hibben. The Kentucky Conference has adjourned. The Rev. V. V. Hibben, long and favorably known to J many of our readers, has been sent to Win Chester station, a pleasant town, about IS utiles from Lexington. MARYLAND ELECTION. We have sufficient returns from Maryland to know that Thomas (loco) is elected Governor. The Whigs have elected 4 Cengreasrren. and ihe Democrats 2, and both branches of the Legislature are Whif. Kenneday, the able and devoted Whig, is beaten in the Baltimore district, by al out 1500 majority for M'Lane. The Governor elect is not the notorious Frank Thomas. Henrt Clay, it seeniR. is assuming the Taylor ground. The Louisville Journal, Henry Clay's particular organ, says: ' Henry Clay will not be a candidate aein for IheGhief Magistracy, unless called to the high office by the general acclamation of all parties " Yet, Clay whig? csnnct go for Taylor, because he is the candidate of no party , but of the peop'e. We suppose Henry Clay will now be read out of the Whig ranks, because he warts to be the candidate of all parties. The Cincinnati Chronicle, instead of resorting; to reason, attempts to show that tho editor of the Ilrookville American is not a true Wh:g, from the fact that there hns been a regular democratic increase in Franklin county for7 years. We will not pursue so urgentlcmanly a course with the eJit'ir of the Chronicle, by attempting to show he is not a whig Trom the fact that there has been an unparalleled democratic increase in the same time in Cincinnati and in Hamilton conn' y. Whilst our county has increased hundred.-, his his increased thousands, Upon his principle, he must be the veriest loco in Christendom. But we do not believe any such thing. Mr. Mansfield is a whig; and until he baeame insane up"n the subject of abolitionism, ho was a gentleman. With him, now. a man must be in favor of a AUil.ern President, support the Wilmot proviso, abuse the south and all its politicians, subscribe to lbs cowardly principles of non-resistance believe that we are wrong and Mexico right and believe that a negro is a little better that a white man. All these things mutt now be believed and advocated by Whig editors, or they are denounced by the great philosopher, civilian and statesman, F.d. Ii. Manttild- And the conclusive evidence of the heterodoxy of a whig editor, is that the democrats are gaining in his county. We hope Lord Mansfield will not again soon place himself in so ridiculous an a llitude. Such contemptible resorts, would be unworthy even of a backwoods editor like ourselves, much less ol the veneiable 6age of the Chronicle. Did we think the miserable and nngentleman'y attack of the Chronicle, was premeditated, we would reply to it in earnest, and serve him up on a griddle rather hot for his comfort. But looking at it as rather an ebullition of bia feelings in the uncomfortable position that he and a few Ohio Tom Ctrwin whig editors have placed themselves, we rather pity than censure him. We feel truly sorry for all the whig editors in Ohio, that live within 40 miles of Lebanon. Their eyes have been taz!ed with the bright and meteor blaie of Cor win's eloquence, until they have been led into political swamps and morass es. There they are, too proud to return to the highway, and too cowardly to go to the full length of the road they have taken I hey, consequently, in this dilemma. strike right and left, letting their blows fall upon friend or foe, like a drunken man in his ravings. WHAT NEXT! NVe look ta the columns of the Wash ington Union as expressing something of the feelings and determination! of our government. That paper of the 4th inst.. after giving all the particulars of the late effort for a treaty, gives out the following indications. '-The Mexican government having declined to accede to the liberal propositions of our government for peace, or even, it would seem, to give them a serious and respectful hearing, it is now manifest that the forbearing spirit and ob ject which Las induced the administration to tender peace has been wholly misundert J. The propositions of Mexico that we should pay to Mexican cititens all the damages sustained by them during the war uirender all that portion of Texas west of the Nueces, abandon all of New Mexico H of Lower and one hall of Upper Califor nia, leave the imports of out own and a other merchant into the Mexican porte open to new duties, or even to confiscation, ne gie up 0l)r claim t0 Kr, right of way across the lnamu--arso preposterous a

to put all hopes 0f peace, at least for the present, rHt of the question. "We understand it has been determined by the government to make no further overtures of peace on our part. When Mexico wants peace hereafter, let her sue for it. We are now in the possession of her capital, principal cities, ports, and possessions Large reinforcements are daily moving forward from Vera Cru2, sufficient to support the gallant column in the pres

ent occupation of the capital, Pu ebla, Ac, and to open, and keep open, ihe line or communication between the seaboard and the main army. In addition to, and be sides the regiments now organizing and moving forward Trcm Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana, other reinforcements, to the full extent! authorized by the law of Congress, will be called out at once, to m&ke certain of the security of the army in its present occupation and operations. "As the continuance ol the war is for ced upon us. it must be wsged with vigor. The country cenquered must be occupied and governed by martial law, and its resources and revenues rendered tributary in every practicable manner to the eupport of our occupation and government." Correspondence or the Indiana American. HaRBODSB? ROH, Kv , Sept , 1S47. Dear Ciarkiorv It was where this tovn now stands, that the Jirtt log cabin was built in the state of Kentucky, by the distinguished hunter end warrior, in hon or of whom the town was subsequently named. A few years after the crecticn of this cabin, a fort.'cr blockhouse, was built, which soon became the place of rendezvous and safety for all the families of ths surrounding country. The Indians every where through the "dark and bloody ground," were thirsting for the blood of the white man who was trapping on the hunting grounds which their fathers had possessed, io fee timple, for ages, and hence the few whites who had ventured so far into the wilderness were exposed every hour to the murderous hand of the cruel forest foe. .Numerous instances of narrow escapes of daring exploits, and bloody encounters, sre told of these pioneer patriils which have never been written lor the press. or published to the world. James Harrod was a rtout, well built man. of a noble spirit, and a heart of 6teel, full ofenterprize and public spirit, and for years he was the ruling genius and warri or leader of the sturdy band that gathered around him at"Harrod Fort." This f rt was located on an elevation, near a large spring of water, which poured forth a stream, sufficient to turn a mill. In the fall of 1?, this fort was surrounded and attacked by about 500 Indians, who made desperate attempts to burn it. During the siege, the fort became scarce of water, and a boy about 16, by the name of Ray, afterwatds Gen. Ray, ventured to the spring, and in returning, was pursued so closely, thtt he had to take shelter behind a stump near the blockhouse, where he hy tinker cover of the fort for some 6 hours, exposed to the cootimiil fire of the enemy. The bullets of the Indians frequently ploughed up the dirt almost under him. At length growing desperate, he begged them 'for God's sake, to dig a bote under the fort for his retreat. Hie mother, who was looking on a'l the time, with atl the excited and frantic feeling of a woman's heart, urged '.hem to the work, and in a short timo a hole was made, sufficiently j large to secure his entrance, and the boy was received into the fort, with the most enthusiastic exultation. The Indians, after a fruitless attempt to take the fort, retired, killing a few stragg'ers as they went, and made their way, I think, towards Bryant's btation, which is some 4 miles from the city of Lexington, to the left of the Maysville turnpike. llarrodsburgh was laid off into lots about the year 1766, but like most other towns in this'state, its growth was slow and gradual. InJeed.evcnnow.it is but village of some 1800 inhabitants; yet being an old town, it might be presumed to be a place of wealth and intelligence-. TLe appearance of many of the buildings bespeaks wealth, and the kunlent which smoke upon their tables, is evidence strong as any lover of good eating would ask, of plenty. The intelligence of Harrodsburg is proverbial. I inquired if they had any newspaper published In the town, and was answered in the negttive. Indeed, this is a common defect yea, miaforVjne in ma ny of the county seats of Kentucky. Many of the richest counties in the state pub lish no periodical. Ilarrodsbnrgh boasts of feo Female Colleges and one for .fa.Y These institutions are all tinder the gov ernment and tuition of ministers of the Gospel.(!) The two Female Schools, one Presbyterian, and the other 'Reformer, are (1 lurishing. The male College, which is also conducted by the 'Reformers.' his a very fine College Edifice; but it is a small concern, at least in the number of its students. The Presbyterians have a College at Danville, some 12 miles oirw hich is said to be prospering finely. Indeed, Kentucky is getting to be a great state for Colleges. Female Academies and Military Institutes, t wis going to cay that half the ministers of the Commonwealth are engaged in school teaching they can make more money at it than preaching live at home fare will, and be looked up to as aa oracle. All this is some in the calculations of those ef-de nying servants of Christ, who are laying up their treasure on earth building fine houses, and eatingat dinners. A fearful responsibility will rest eomewhere, and these ministers will meet their judge at PKUippi. Among the inland towns of Kentucky, this place has become celebrated chiefly on account of the medical springe in its immediate vicinity. Some Sit) ytars ago, these springs were sa etmtJ ae f bit

small value. Dr. Graham, a young and enterprising Physician purchased them vrith some 40 acres of ground adjoi.iinT them. TLese grounds' were uncultivated.

and strangers who made their way to the springs, for the improvement of their health, could only find accommodations at the ordinary hotels of the village. Dr. Graham began immediately to improve, as hie limited rreaos would allow, and now, after a lapse of 20 years, we discover a most magnificent and spacious Hotel, surrounded by long rows of beautiful rural cottages all tastefully srranged, with all the doors numbered sufficient to accommodate six hundred persons. The location or the buildings the beauty of the walks, and the romantic scenery of the springs, constitute the whole of a paradise where in' . Valids might with Dmnripto. rlrenm at . f J . ... ..... , . , leats, of immortality. It is said in these resppects, the Harrod Springs are not surpassed in the United Slates. I am not "prepared to give tou the medical proper ties oi the waters, but from their general celebrity and acknowledged medical exIcellencica, I can say they have attracted. for a number of seasons past, a larger crowd of f.t$Monable$ than any springs in Kentucky. From all parts of the South, West, and East, they have been here, from three to five hundred at a time. Dr. Gra. ham furuishes every accommodation, to all who visit his springs, in a style which I presume is not surpassed by any Hotel in the Union. From all I can learn, many recruit their health much during their stay here- But perhaps '.he larger number are greatly injured in morals, by the excitement and intemperance connected with the numerous balls, parties, ice. which are given during the season, and as each visiter is et eciallyfree curing his residence at the springs, gambling and drinking are largely indulged in by many, malt and Iftmale. Though as each individual and each family, may be alone during tbeir stay, those persons who may wish to be seclud-d can have tbeir desire, and spend their time pleasantly and undisturbed reaping all the benefits, without experiencing any o I the contaminations of promiscuous society. The expense of keeping up such an establishment, must be very considerable, end it is necessary to gather in a rich harvest, during the watering season, in order o make money, which I am told, the proprietor docs do, every year.

As we anticipated, in our paper of yesterday.the negotiation resulted in nothing. The last letter from Mr. Kendall is dated the 6th inst, and our fiie or the Diario del Gobierno does noi'eome down later than the 4th;hut the Arco frivol Vera Cruz, lias a letter from the r it y of Mexico dated the 10th inst., together with extracts from the Diario del Gobierno and ihe fcilttin nf Allisco to the 12ili, by w hich, together w nh the letter we publish, the runnier in which the armistice was termimtlrd will bp learned froiti the extracts wo copy. A perusal of Mr. Kendall's letters, however, will al once show that a feeling of hostility was growing with ih people or the capital as early even as the 30ih of last month, and the Conjress of the Slate of Mexico, in session at Toluca, had declared against peace. Notwithstanding repea ted belligerent demonstrations by the enemy, and a positive violation of the armistice, in our wagons tun being permitted by the mob to enter the city lor provisions, negotiations were still pending as late a date as the 6th. The 4rco fris received letters from Mexico tinder date of the 9th, stating that on the 7th the Mexican commissioners declared that the propositions made by Mr. Trial were Inadmissible; in consequence of which General Santa Anna convoked a council of generals, who decided that notice should be given immediately to General Scott that the armistice was al an end, and appointed the 9th foi the recommencement of hostilities. On the 7th Gen. Herrera, as commandant f the city of Mexico, addressed the clergy, exhorting them to exeri all ihotr influence to incitej the people to arm themselves and prepare to resist the Ameticaii army. Following up events as closely as ihe somewhat disconnected accounts will permit in the order in which they occurred, we find lhat, on ihe 8;h, Gen. Scoit a'tacked Ihe Mill del Rey, or King's Mill, in the immediate vicinity of Chapultepec; and according to ihe Diario del Gobierno and the Boletin, published at Atl-.s-io, our army was repulsed after a severe conflict in which we lost about AM in killed and from 600 to 700 in wounded, and fell b.ick upon Tacubaya. We give below a translation of the Bolelin's description of the engagement;premising that the reader will hear in mind it is Mexican, and is, in all probability, a great exaggeration, if not an entire misrepresentation. It is from nn extra of the Bolcliit. of the 9th inst : At half-past 5 this morning the 8ih the fire commenced on the two flanks of Chapultepce. The left was resting on the mill of El Rey, cloe to the forest at Chapultepec. This point was commanded by Gen. Leon, and under his oi der were the battalion of Mina, whose c ilonel was the patriotic and valiant Balderas, and the battalions Union and La Patria,of Oaxa, in one of which were included ihe companies of Puebla, also a body from Querelaroand some other all composing the National Guard. The right flank rested on the house of Mata.at thedistanre of quarter of a league from Chapullepec, and occupied I SIX) of the regular army, commanded by Gen. Pere. The enetty in two columns,with his usual daring, attacked these points; first with artillery, and at a quarter to 6 with a rapid fire of musketiy. General Perez sustained the Are very well Tor about half an hour, when, for causes at present unknown, he retired with his forces, although he had not lost ten men. The retreat mwl have been fatal for Mexico, if fortunately, Gen. Lon and his brigade had not shown prodigies of valor. Twice he repulsed Ihe column that attacked him, and in the second he

sallied from his position to recover the artillery Gen. Perez had lost; but then he received a mortal wound and a few moments afterwards the valiant Belderas was also wounded, and died on the Hold. The enemy, with additional forces, again charged and lock possession of the mill. Twice he was disloged, but on his retaking it ihe third time it was found imposeible to bring our Iroops to the charge. In spite of these iwo advantages which they had gained in their endeavors to attack Chapullepec, ihey could not effect a rariVr advance, which may be owing to their being intimidated by the resistance of ourTorces. and ihe consideiable loss they had suffered. The resuli was, lhat at 9 o'clock in the morning the fire of small arms had nearly ceased, and they were seen employed in collecting their killed and wounded. At 11 o'clock the enemy commenced a retrograde movement, and by 2 in the afternoon he withdrew all his forces In Tacubaya, abandoning the two points he had occupied, and blowing up the house of Mata, although some Fay it was set on fire by a bomb fired from Chapullepec. h is believed that Gens. Twiggs and Pierce directed ihe attack. miH ihat

ihey put in motion about 8,000 men. It is impossible to ascertain the loss on either side. Ours does not amouui to 100 killed und 230 wounded. There are few missing nearly all not killed or wounded retiring to Chapu?ir pec. The enemy, according to the confession of an Iiishman who came over to lis in the evening, ctrried off 400 dead and 600 or 700 wounded. We have in lament the loss of General Lon, since dead; that of Colonel Bal leras, of the v.iliani Colonels Huorta and Gelati sitd of the determined Captain Mateos, of Pu cbla, who conducted himself like a hero, telling his soldiers, on the point of death, that they must never forget they were Pueblsnos, and to fight valiantly to the death. We will take care lhat he shall be buried in the Pantheon, and that his unfortunate widow shall receive a penison. If the cavalry had laken ihe position assigned Jo them al 4 o'clock in the morn ing, by order of Gen, Santa Anna, and n, ahoveall, they had made the charge which was ordered et the moment that the enemy attro-ked the mill r El Rey, instead of flying precipMHy, the action would have been complete. But ihey did not take the position to which they were ordered, much less make the charge as commanded; Gen. Alvarez being obliged to state officially, or through his adju.. lam, thai he did not imiko the charge, because his subordinate officers refused on account of the ground teing too uneven and broken for cavairy as if it were not ihe sime for ihe cavalry of the enemy. It is believed thai the enemy will renew the attack In. morrow by another route either by lhat of Li IVdal.orby thai of San Antonio. May GoJ protect our cause on this oecasiop. One of ihe enemy's guerillas, who came with Scott, was made a prisoner and shoj n the spot. FULLER FROM MEXICO. The New Yoik Sun published on Monday evening a letter from a Spanish Mexican in ihe city of Mexico, lo a Span ish house in New York, which gives a more full account of ihe recent proceodinas in Mexioo than has reached us from any other quarter. Indeed, its oarniive comes down to the 16th, three days Liter th in was received in ny of the accounts brought by the Junes L. Day. al Mew Otleans, which have been published. This letter which moreover is Mexican authority, states that General Scott wa in actual possession of ihe Capital! It is said to have come by way of Orizv ha. nude r cover to Mr. Diimond, al Vera Cruz. We give the following extract!: Citv of Mexico, 16ih Sept. 1847. On Ihe 13ih inst. the Americans made a demonstration on Chepultapc, and ihe mill of El Rey, but oui Generals were prepared for them Chapullepec, you know is situated between Tacubava and the tity, within cannon shot of the former and some three miles of the latter. It is a bold hill overlooking a vast range of country which enabled our soldiers to watch every maneuver of the enemy. It also commands ihe road from Tacubaya to ihe city, which tuns close to its base, and ii can only be ascended by a circuitous paved way, which after turning a certain angle, is exposed to ihe full range of the fortress guns. As Ihe Americans ascended ihe hill a perfect storm of musket bills and grape shot drove ihem back with heavy os. They recovered and advanced again, bul were repulsed. Our Iroops fought with desperate valor, woithy the character of Mexicans. The enemy also fought bravely his men seemed like so many devils, whom it was impossible to defeat without annihilation. He msde a third and l.tsi charge with fresh force and heavy guns, and otirgallinnt troops having exhausted lu-:ir grnpc shot, were forced, very unwillingly to retreat and yield up the fortress, of which the enemy took possession. Our soldiers retreating towards the city, but were unfortunately cut off by a detachment of the enemy's cavalry, and about a thousand were made prisoner, bin were son released, as the enemy had no men to guard them. The enemy then opened his balteries on the Mill El Rey. (King's Mill) closo upon Chepnliepec, which, after ob st in me fighting, and great loss to the Americans, we were obliged to abandon. The two actions continued over nine hours and weie ihe severest, considering our small number of soldiers and ihe enmy's large force, that have been fought. Our loss in killed and w minded was not more than 300. while the enemy lost over 400. or at leai, such was Hie report of deserters of the American ar.itv who came to us In the evening. Seeing that the city would inevitably be attacked, Gen. Santa Anna, duiing the action, caused number of trenches to be cut across the road leading to the city, which was flooded with water, On ihe morning of ihe I4'h hefoie daylight fie enemy, with a part of his force, commenced his march upon the city. Our soldiers, posted behind the arches of the auqnedocts and several ttreast-works which had been hastily thiown up, annoyed him so severely together with the trenches he had to bridge over, that he did not arrive al the gate until late in the afternoon. Here he halted and attempted to bombard the city, hich he did lu

ring the ttallance of the day and the day folio -a ing, doing immense dxtunge. In some rases hole blocks were destroyed and a great number of men women and childien killed and wounded. the picture was nfu. One desfning roar filled our ears, one cloud of smoke met our eyes, now and Ihen mixed with flame, and amid it all we could hear Ihe various shrieks of ihe wounded and dying. Bul the cily bravely resisted ihe hundreds ef flying shells. It hurled back

defiance lo the blood thirsty Yankee, and convinced him thai his bmbs rould not reduce the Mexican capital. The enemy then changed the plan, and determined to enter the city, we were prepared to meet him. Having barricaded the streets wiih sam bags, and provided on the house lops and at the windows all who could hear aims or missiles, stones, bricks, &c. to throw on the heads of the enemy. Before Gen. Scott had farely Dassed the gates he found the difficulty of his position. A perfecta i .f I ii a. a mrreni m uansanu stones rained among his troops. Many were killed and more wounded. Still he kept advancing until he gained the entrance of two streets lea ding directly to the Plaza. Finding thai he could not oppose himself to our soldiers, and that he wa losing his men rapidly, Gen. Scott took possession orthe convent of San Iiador, which extended back to the centre of a block and al once set hi sappers and miners to cutting away directly ih rouge ihe blocks of buildings. In some instances whole houses were blown up la facilitate his progress; but after several hours he again emerged into the streel, and finally gained the Plaza with gret loss. On entering ihe Plaza a heavy fire was opened on him from the palace and Cathedral, which were filled and covered w ith our patriotic troops. Finding himself thus assaulted, the enemy drew oul his forces in the Plazi, and opened a cannonade an the Palace and Cathedral, firing over one hundred shot, which done immense damage to the buildings and csued a severe loss of killed and wounded. Seeing further resistance usnless. our soldiers ceased firing, and on the 15th of September (sad dy!) the enemy wa in possession of ihe Mexican capital. Though we inflicted havoc and death on ihe Yankees, we suffered greally ourselves. Many weie killed by the blowing up of ihe houses, many by the bombardment; but more from the confusion w hich prevailed in ihe city, and altogether we cannot count our killed, wounded and missing, since the action commenced yestprday al less than 4,000. among whom are many woman snd children. The enemy confess a loss of over 1 000 it is no douhi much greater. What a calamity! But Mexico will yet have vengeance. God will avenge us for our suffeiings. Santa Anna has gone with his genera's and all Ihe troops he cntild diaw off to GauJaloupe. He is said lo be wounded severely. We have lost heroic officers and brave men in these two days, I cannot fotesee what is lo come. Thousand are gathering upon ihe hillls around the city determined lo tut off all supplies and starve the enemy who have so audaciously entered it. Gen. Scott may yei find that Mexico is not vanquished. He may find our lakes btirMing their harriers and filling this betntiful valley, lo annihilste the infamous Americans. We scarcely hope, yet do not quite despair. Our brave generals may yet re cover what is lost, and Mexico with her ten millions of people, arie to sweep the invader from the land he had desecrated.
