COUNTY EI-ECTIOIV I The result of the Election for State and County officers, in this (Marior.) county, on Monday last, exceed any thing we had anticipated. Last year our candidate for congress was beaten by about 300, ami our representatives by more than 100. This year we elect, probably, two of the three candidates for representatives, Sheriff, Recorder, County Commissioner and Coroner, losing on the whole ticket, only one representative and the prosecuting attorney, on account of personal considerations. What seems surprising to the democrats, and disheartening to the whig, is the circumstance that thev have been beaten by the democrats, without any clTVt on the part of the latter to stimulate their party to extraordinary exertion ; while tho whigs had a Club in full blast, and had not only hid regular week ly noting and small-fry speeches; but had brought their big guns from different quartern to urge upon ail the whigs the dutv of turning out, and electing the;r ticket for the benefit of old Zack and his horse. Hut in vain the eloquence of Marshall, of Farker, of Laue, and the rest! The whigs have again been beaten in the Citadel ! And a most righteous defeat it is. Instead of being benefitted by their orators, wc !Iieve they received injury; fur they but demonstrated the perfect demoralization of the whig prrty, in regard to every principle and measure of the past, and relied for success upon a demagogical assault upon one cf the best features of the Constitution, fearing to attack it as a whole. It is proper that we should exult over this defeat, of our opponents on tho ground of principle; for it hows that a majority of the people think as the whig orators talked, the latter, admitting that our policy had been successful, hut yet urging on a mere factious warfare between citizen and citizen, for the sake of spoils alone. We are ready to forgive a great deal to habit and prejudice; but when the lead ers, ufur professing no inordinate desire to keep up pirtizan hostility among our own p- ople, belie all their smooth-fneed pretension, and resort to all their customary deception and tricks, it is right to rejoice in their defeat. Rut we rejoice much more at the result, because it indicates that our people are not disposed to sr.nction the insults and injuries inflicted upon our volunteers and the character of the State, by the man who forced himself upon the whig leaders as a candidate for the Presidency. We mean to give whigs as well as democrats, all tho credit which they shall be entitled to on tnis account, either now or in November. All wc ask of them is a manifestation of proper self-respect, and not to let us find them legging for Taylor at the polls, after they have solemnly declared that they would not vote for nor support him. (Wc regret the defeat of Powell Howland for representative, for he is one of the most substantial and intelligent of our farmers, and inferior to no man on the ticket, lie was beaten by few votes, in consequence of lies and unjust personal prejudice. We may ppeak of this again. OtrThc Young Men's Taylor Whig Club of Indianapolis, has been a very efficient aid to Taylorism, thus far, indeed ! The club has had no other effect than to knock out the brains of a few who had none to -pare conveniently. They meant to have humbugged somebody else, but have been the dupes of their own foolish attempts. Smart young men, very !

The editor says: Thc whigs Rre walking up to the scratch like gentlemen. They have placed implicit confidence in us ; and by the power of our right arm, they shall not be betrayed !

On. Taylor's Hostility to Volunteers. We should renin in con'ent without presenting this subject to our readers were it not for the fact, that some of the political coolers of the day are making desperate efforts to produce an impression that Gen. Taylor has some regard for the volunteers. Such politicians seem willing to sell their God, their country, and their reputation, for a forlorn hope of availability. That they would sell their God, is evident from the fact that they abandon truth in order to clear their candidate for the Presidency of the awkward position in which he has placed himself. That they would sell their country, is evident from the fuct that they are disposed to elevate a man to the Presidency, who has Ion" been a slanderer of the volunteers, whom our country look upon as the strongest arm of her defence. That they would sell their reputation, is evident from the fact they arc willing to sacrifice their State to one man. They take their leave of truth, by asserting that General Taylor's report of the battle of Euena Vista was founded on General Lane's report, and when they got caught in this trick, their first attempt is to petrifog themselves out of their unenviable situation. From Gen. Taylor's report it does not appear that the 2d Indiana regiment fired a single gun where the engagement was commenced ; but Gen. Lane sajs that the fire of the enemy was returned by his Msmnll command, both infantry and artillery, in a most gallant manner for some time." After noticing the retreat, Gen. Taylor says that tho 2d regiment "could not be rallied, and took no further part in the action, except a handful of men, w ho, under its gallant Colonel, Howies, joined the Mississippi regiment, and did good service ; and those fugitives who. at a later period in the day, assisted in tlefendin" tho train and depot at Ruena Vita." Hut Gen. Laue, afur noting the retreat, Kays: "These troops, the most if them, utre immediately rallied, and fought during the whole day like veterans. A few of them, I regret to say, did not return to the field at all." Every m;n of common sense who will take the trouble to read the two reports, will discover the wide difference ; yet there are a few who delight in assisting (Jen. Taylor to slander their own State, by asserting that his report corresponds with Gen, Lane's. They cannot fool any person who has read both reports; but they have attemptrd to fool some by quoting from both reports, and by omitting that part of Gen. Lane's report where he says the most of the troops rallied. But Gen. Taylor's conduct in relation to Indianians is not the most objectionable part of his hostility to volunteers. As highly as we value our own State and as tenacious as we feel of her honor, wc value the union of the States still more; and whenever he attempts to stab at the reputation of tho volunteers of the Union, he inflicts upon us a still greater wrong. A minute observer of his history cannot mistake his true position. We make the following extract from "Reminiscences of a Campaign in Mexico," written by Isaac Smith, of our city, who served iu the First Indiana Regiment. Wc have had occasion to peak of this book, and recommend it to the public. It dwells at some length upon Gen. Taylor's hostility to olunteers, as shown in the Florida and Mexican cam

paign, and it will be seen from the accompanying extract, the author takes the right view of the subject : "Ever since Zachary Taylor attained the rank of Colonel he has seized every opportunity to define his position in regard to volunteers. His remarks relative to the conduct of a particular regiment are not sufficient to establish his opposition to volunteers; but his oft repeated declarations, his acts, and the testimony of his officers, combine to form an extended chain of conclusive evidence that his faith is bound up in the regular ormy, and that he has but little confidence in volunteers. The battle of Okeechobo, Florida, which was fought on the'Jöth of December, l'M, aff rdcd him an opportunity to express his opinion of volunteers, and he improved it in a manner that admits of no equivocation. At Okeechobe, Colonel now General Taylor advanced the Missouri volunteers and .Morgan's spies, in all not exceeding two hundred and thirty men, with orders to cross the swamp, and in the event of being at tacked and hard pressed, to fall back and form in the rear of the regular troops, out of the reach of the enemy's fire. "The Missourians and spies advanced and engaged the enemy who occupied a hammock, when a great nnuiber fell, among others. Col. Gentry, mortally wounded. Tho subsequent conduct of the re"imeut became a matter of controversy. Col. Zachary Taylor, in Iiis official report of that battlo, sayn : "Thry the Misjouii volunte eis auJ spies mostly broke, and iiMlrad of fmmiitg i" the rar of the tegular., a haj bren tlirrcted, tliey reiire.l across the swamp to llieir bapaj;c and hüies, nur could they again be brought into the action. a a body, although effoits weie made repeatedly by my staff to induce them to do so." Hud the Colonel said no more upon the subject, his few lines would have been a fatal stab at the Missourinns; but before he closes his report he unveils his opinions. He sajs : la bprakin of the comrmnd, I ran only ry that far ai i tie foliar tr o; arc concerned, no one could have been more etlicifiilly sustained thn I have ben fiorn the roinmrnrcmeot if the c.mp:i" ; d I aui c-itain tlicy will alwjys be willing and ieady to discharge anjr duly t iat may be aignrfl t'lirn." After noticing th'j several regiments of infantry, mid bestowing on them merited compliments. Colonel Taylor says : "The Missouri volunteer, under the command of Col. Gentiy, and Morgan's ipic-i, who formed the fust line, and, if cui?e, were the fi.st engaged acted a well, or EVE." Bi-rrr.R tu k TROOPS OF THAT DKSCItlt'ITON or.?rRaily do; they leceived and returns! Ihe -iiemyN fir with jpuit, for some time, when they bioke and rctutd, with the exception cf Cajit. Gillam, ai.d a few of his company, and Lt. lilakely, alo whh a few of his men, whu juined the regulatf, and acted with them until after the cloe of the battle, tut not until they had sutured everely ; the comraauding officer of the voluutcers, Col. Gentry, teing mortally wounded while leading on his men, and eucomaing them to euiet the hammock, and come to close quarters with the enemy; his ion, an interesting youth, eighteen or nineteen years of age, sergeant major of the regiment, was severely wounded at the same moment." The above clearly defines Col. Zachary Taylor's position iu relation to volunteers. Although he .says, that the Missourians and Morgan s tpies 'broke, and could not be "again brought into the action as a body," he asserts that they acted "even belter than troops of that description grm rally do," thus proclaiming that volunteers generally were worse than troops whom he asseverates left the nceno of action and could not bo rallied. This report of the battle of Okecchohc has been considered as casting an imputation upon the Missourians, but it labors to cast a still greater imputation upon tho majority of our citizen soldiery who fought battles antecedent to that time. A report grasping at such conclusions mtibt annihilate itself, and should not injure the Missourians." Zachary Taylor took advantage of the hour of victory to make an impression against the volunteers of Missouri and of the Union, lie asserts that the Missourians fled, and that they behaved better than volunteers 4generally do." In short, he brands the great majority of the volunteers who fought in the revolution and tho late war with Great Britain as less brave than troops that lied the field of bnttle. It remains to be seen whether the people will pocket the insult upon their fathers and grandfathers, or hurl it back with indignation. Wc have every reason to believe that Gen. Taylor grossly slandered the Missourians, as well as the volunteers of the Union. We make tho following quotation from the speech of the Hon. John Jameson, of Missouri, delitercd in the Houe of Representatives of Congress, on the 13th of January, 1613 : Missouri had a regiment at the battle of Ocheechobe, in Florida, fought on Christmas day, 1S:17. They were put in front ; brought on the battle ; crossed the swamp, near waist deep in mud and water, to the hammock where the Indians were ambushed, and gained it such was the stubbornness of the Indians at pistol-shot ; with them, the gallant Colonel Gentry leading, who received two shots, cither mortal. The lieutenant colonel, Child, assuming tho com-

!mand, is shot down: other officers assuming it re

ceived the same fate ; finally, Lieutenant Hogers, who had the command of the company from my county, assumes the command in his part of the line; he receives the game fate, but his wound was not mortal ; he rose out of the mud bleeding, encouraged his men, and gained the hammock. At this time, the gallant Foster, with his battalion, to their great relief, appeared in the hottest part of the battle, and the Indians were soon turned, and the victory gained. Yes, sir, this regiment that thus suffered and thus fought, and in whieh nil, or nearly all, the officers hat were in the battlo were either killed or wounded, and many of the men wound-'d is reported to have mostly (when the battlo commenced; retired 0 trie baggage; wlncli report, upon an investigation 01 me matter before the Missouri Legislature, was proved not to be true by more than two hundred witnesses : that the only retiring to the baggage during tho battle, with the exception of some two or three cases, wns the taking of tho wounded to tho baggage out ot the water and mud. And a great number of these witnesses also proved, thut the gallant Gentry called upon Taylor, upon the eve of dissolution, to know whether his men had done their duty ! To which the General, then Colonel, replied, yes; they have done their duty, and more than their duty ; they acted too rash. Gentry said, well, if you report that tact, l die contented. ISotwithstnnding this, wc see what the report was. Tue Missouri Legislature did not stop at this; but they called upon the President of the United States to institute a court martial, or conn of inquiry, and call General Taylor betöre it, that the truth of tins report miyht be invest inten, upon proof to be adduced ; but it was not done; the cause I do not know.' Hut Missouri did not submit to it as tatnelv as some of the Indianinns are disposed to do in the present er;M The following facts were furnished by a correspoti dent, upon whom wo can rely : C1.11 TV, Im, July 17, lb-te.

OCT" The Journal nsks why we don't prove that Taylor had very little lo do in fighting the battle of Rucna Vista. We have already submitted evidence in favor of Ihe facts. We have shown that Taylor did not select the battleground; neither did he put the troops in position; Wool did the hitter, and the battle commenced before Taylor arrived on the ground. If it wants further cvidenco about these things, the Journal had better read the reports of the officers themselves. Taylor, to be sure, takes tho credit of the day ns Commanding Generals usually do, though others do everything. Docs the Journal rcccollect Col. Humphrey Marshall's toast, soon after he got home, viz: "The real hero of Ruena Vista Gen.

Maj r Tilbott was a man of high or der of natural abilities, of superior attainments, and one who promised fair goon to occupy a distinguished place iu the councils of the nation. Of a warm und ardent temperament, and stimulated by that patriotism which so distinguished our State, on the first call being made by the President at the commencement of the war, he raised one of the twenty-four companies profered the Governor above the requisition, and after this disappointment received unsolicited the honorable position of Major of the lGth Infantry. It will be recollected that this regiment ha never been iu any general engagement, further than a few skirmishes with guerrillas, but throughout the period of his service, Major Talbott has been distinguished, intellectually, as a man of high order of abilities, as an officer, a strict disciplinarian, brave and devoted to his country. Thus, we repact, has another eon of our State been offered up (for it matter not whether the soldier falls . .v ..P;fir.o fr nur conn. ! by disease or the sword) a. a acrllcc lo our counl .. 1 H t C ....1 .. AS 1 try s wcllarc and glory, iviany 01 our vumineir uifioers, like Major Talbott, have fallen, and been mourned by the alilictcd domestic circle at home. Rut we hold that the memories of such men become after death the property of the State and nation, because their lives hive been freely devoted to the nation's welfare and glory. And as euch we hold them up to our readers, believing that though no opportunity will be offered in the war now so auspiciously brought to an end, that upon another occasion the youth of our State will be as ever heretofore, ready to rally around the standard of our country.

The retinal I'nioii of Hie Ccriii:ut .States. Wliile all ees have been turned to Hie developineutrt of tl.e r.'-vi liition in France, another revolution in favor of constitutional liberty nnd union has been FÜcht'v in progress anions the thirty-nine sovereign States of t.'eruiany, which, though comparatively little noticed either in American or linglish journals, is, to '.:r country at least, of high pructical importance. This Union of the (Irrrnt.n States under a common

Executive will of con rre produce important changes' in the diplomatic intercourse between those Mate? and foreign nations. The Emperor of Austria (in his capacity of Kin of Hungary) will alone, of all the (lermaii powers, herenfier maintain separate diplomatic relations; receiving and accrediting a separate diplomatic functionary. With this exception, the whole of (icrmany will be, for diplomatic purposes, a .single government. Put there arc other bearings of this great event far more interesting and important especially to our own country. It is the tirt great and certain step towards the final consummation of that union J the German Stales which was to auspiciously begun in the German Commuicrcial League, and which, even in that imperfect form, was felt to promise important benefits to our commerce. In this new and more comprehensive German Federation, wc may sec a population of forth million, establishing their com mon government in a form which must bring them into close political sympathy with our republic, and thus nrenare the way lr the establishment of reci procal commercial relations, opening to our products a market of vast extent, under circumstances which m;iv give a new impetus to our national resources. Indeed, much has already been done to secure this re sult, by the commercnl treaties which have already been negotiated with some ot the Germnn Mates lv "i this administration ; mid it appears that a new ami more favorable laritV is already in contemplation by the new German government.

W hat their täte will he under the mild administration of law by a Spanish Military Tribunal, we can easily conceive. We further leant that American eiti.ens in Cuba are in a very unenviable situation. They tire nil bjects of suspicion, ami their movements are eontiutnlly watched nnd noted. N American citir.en, we learn, can go out of Havana to any part of the Island, unless he first swears that he is a Roman Catholic and a person of good fame, and the American Consul certifies that he U so. Even then, he must give security for his good behavior. Tnrc News from Mexico. The accounts from Mexico by the last arrivals are somewhat contradictory respecting the operation of Purcdes and Rustament The papers in the interest of each claim the victory for their side.

Rustanientc confesses, in a despatch dated the th inst.; that the division of Cortazar had been repulsed and lhat many of his troops dispersed, but he affects to treat it as a liirht affair. (7- The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce says It is becoming very common for persons to take full missions nbroaiffor a year or less, in order to get the full benefit of the meagre salary and emoluments allowed by our law. If they remain but a year, they receive twenty thousand rive hundred dollars, including outfit, salary, and in fit. A permanent residence at nine thousand dollars is out of the question for any but a wealthy man.
