There is onv thing auout the demonstrations in fa vor of General Taylor tliat we dislike, though we suppose it can't be helped. All the Tyler guard, with the chief Traitor at their head, seem to be going for him. Tulmadgp, who now lives in Wisconsin, recently made n speech in Iiis fivör, and dishing, we notice, ir.ade one at Monterey on the f .urlli of July. The only consolation is to be found iti the remark of Frentice, that, in a country where every wan votes as he pleases, an honest man may some-times get the support of scoundrels.

drn goons under Lt. Love, with the Indian, on the Arkansas river, Juno 20 'Ji. We have since seen the official dpatch of Lt. Love, giving the details of the affair, in the Union. We copy below some of the particulars, so that our readers may have a correct understanding of the unprovoked character of the attack on the part of the Indians. Lt. Love recommends prompt, preventive anJ retaliatory measures. Should such a course be adopted by the government, of course
the Mexican whig- would soon take sides in favor of j Henry E. Murphy,
the Indiana: and therefore the Deoole should take . nox A. 1. tilts
p tiiu to tecome correctly informed from the start : "The battle took place oa the 20th, about sunrise, when some of the men were grooming their horses, and others were preparing breakfast. The attack was made on a provision train, about three quarters of a mile in the rear. They had chosen their position during the night, awaiting daylight, when tiie cattle would be turned out of the coral. With the exception of six or eight yoke, they succeeded in driving all the cattle over the river. The Indians thus engaged numbered 250 or 300, and wore well mounted, and armed with lances, puns, pistols, bows, arrow., and shields; About twenty of the dragoons started to recover the cattle if possible. They followed about a mile, when a regular engagement took place. The Indians appeared to be oti the retreat; but this was only dono to get the men as far as possible on the prairie. About a hundred Indians had been stationed on the opposite tank of the river, and they now charged across, came up in the rear of the dragoons, and completely surrounded them. They now had it hand to hand six to ten Indians upon one man at a time. The engagement lasted twenty minutes, and five of our men were killed, and six wounded. The names of
the killed were John Dickheart, Geo. Gaskell, J. II.
Short; and Aldrich. Those of the

wounded, Serjeant Bishop, privates Lovelace, Vancaster, and Ward, f everely ; and Wilson J. Hush, slightly. Sergeant Bishop was shot through his left side, above the hip; Lovelace was phot diagonally through, from the right shoulder to the breast ; Vancaster was shot through, from side to side he was not expected to live. They scalped three of the men. Some of them had a9 many as twelve to fifteen wounds from the lance, and were horribly mutilated; the
throat of one wits cut from ear to ear the ears of
another were cut off. They were robbed of everything about them. As fast as the Indians fell, thev
mated at from twenty-five to thirty. It is said that
the Indians had proclaimed that not a train should cros the river, and it is their intention to cut off all communication between Santa Fe and the S:dtc2.
"scoundrels in the country ; who, knowing that they j were carried across the river, and their loss is est i
could never attain ofiice or power by merits of the.r own, were endeavoring to secure their infamous ends by seizing upon his supposed popularity as the only means within their reach ! For ourselves, duty to the public impels us to say, that we have had no more confidence in the professions of the Indiana Journal, upon this subject, than we have had in those made by the "scoundrels" which it now denounces. It no doubt preferred many a whig that might be named j as well as Toni Corwin, before Taylor but it desired
Tost Office Robeery. William T. Jones, son of the farmer Postmaster at Washington City, and who was continued as a clerk in the office, was arrested on Saturday last, for taking letters containing money, from the mail, and after a preliminary
examination, held to bail, in the sum of five thousand

The eional district, and for that reason it made a great President was applied to by the father of youn show of zeal in his behalf, and took every occasion ' Jones, to stay further proceedings, but he declined which offered itself to misrepresent us, and make us ' doing so. appear as his enemy, because we chose to publish J A correspondent of" the Pa., Ledger says-i-It is a facts concerning him, which the public had a right to ; distressing case all round, on account of the high reknow, and some of w hich it now coufeses to be true, j spcctability of the parents tnd relations of the e,ffenAll this proves one tiling if no more, and that is, that ! der, who has no excuse whatever for his heinous Gen.

and some cf them quite as big ''scoundrels." Rear in mind the fact, that in the same Journal from which is copied the above paragraph about Taylor, appears a much longer and stronger one in favor of Tom Corwin, and which winds up by saying that "we (the Journal) shouldn't wonder if the 'traitor' Corwin may s .me d.ty be President of the United States," and the real feelings cf the conductors of the Journal may very easily and certainly be inferred. Col. Rowlcs has returned lo Paoli, Indiana, and is preparing an account of his actions at Ruena Vista for publication. lie will also review the acts of Gen. Lane in that battle. We presume that from Lane, Marshall ar.J Bowles, wc may soon arrive at the farts concerning the 2d Indiana regiment. Wabash Express. From th above, w'a should infer that the Express Supposes we have not yet "arrived at the facts" of the case. We are net indisposed to give an unpreju diced hearing to Co!. Bowles ; but he will have to produce better evidence against the men of the second reg ment than Marshall, or any other Whig has offered, before he can convince us that they were the cow ards and fugitives which they were represented to be by Gen. Taylor, in his official report, and w hich report he has failed to correct, though we have good authority for saying that he promised Gen. Lane that he would correct it, and do justice to the men wr.odid more than any other regiment to gain for him the glory of the gory field of Ruena Vista. Gpn. Marshall of Kentucky asserts that Gen. Taylor strongly reprobated the surrender of Major Gaines to the Mexicans, near Encarnacion, and the assertion
was otherwise well to do in the world. Neither had he any of thoe vices which generally lead to ruin ;
it was mere love of money which induced him to rob
those w ho were perhaps so much more in want of it than himself, and the amount stolen he immediately, with the same calm and tranquil mind, invested in stocks.

Correction. The following from the New Albany Democrat, will show that we were misinformed as to the author of its productions which have occasionally appeared under the signature of "I.mma." We regret the error, of course ; but that regret is lessened by the knowledge we gain through its correction, that we can add the real name of tha author to the ranks of those whose genius and devotion to the muses does credit to Indiana: "Lmma." The State Sentinel copies the beautiful lines, "Captain Taggart's dying words," by "Lmma," published by us some time since, and ascribes them to Mrs. Dumonf, the lady of John Dumont, Esq., of Vevay. In this our friends of the Sentinel are in error. The lines in question are from the pen of Mrs. Dtifour, the lady of Oliver Dufour, Esq., of this city. The Sentinel's error probably arises from the fac that Mrs. Dufour formerly resided in the same place that Mrs. Dumont now reside., and who, we believe, has also given to the world some of her productions. Mrs. Dufour is the daughter of the Rev. C. W. Ruter, now postmaster cf this city, and who is known and beloved by our Indianapolis friends, as the pastor, some years since, of the Methodist Episcopal Church in that city.
As the Sentinel truly save, rt was not the desire of
"Imm.v" to have her real name brought before the
public; but to correct a prevalent error is the only

The Cincinnati Chronicle thus notices the arrival of Ex-President Tyler at New York : "This is the first intimation we have had concerning his Excellency's whereabouts, ßince he was at the White Sulphur Springs in the summer of IS 15, engaged in rolling ten ins, and setting them up himself; the boys tending the alley, refusing to put them up for him, when they ascertained it was John Tyler rolling the balls." This is tho ribald style in which the Chronicle now thinks.it proper to treat the man for whom in 1810, in common with other whig papers and politicians, it shouted "We'll go for Tyler therefore, "Without a why or wherefore." The Chronicle is now playing the 6a me game with Taylor. If it should win, we predict that in less than two years after, the Chronicle and other whigs will hate and curse him as badly as they now do Tyler. CrThe Galveston (Texas) Civilian of the 21st ult. says : "The Indiana volaotcers have all left for the Rio Grande. A portion was taken on the Tom Jack, as it was found that the Star and Lavina could not accommodate all co nforlably. The quiet and or derly behavior of the men, while here, when off duty and free from all restraint, was the object of general remark. If they sustain the credit of their State as well in battle, as they have done here, we shall hear no more reproaches cast upon Indiana troops," OGen. Lane's brigade consists of the first regiment of foot, and one company of horse from Illinois; one regiment Indiana foot ; five companies foot from New Jersey ; one company of foot, and one company of horse from Florid; and five companies Texas horse; all of which have been assigned to Gen. Tatlok's division of the army. QrOf tho emigrants who have left Great Britain for this country, it is ascertained that up to the last f Jun3 4.7U'. perished on the way by sichn:ss and ship-wrecks.

Mr. Hilliard, a whig of considerable ability, a candidate for Congress, in Alabama, declared a fjw days ago, in a speech at Mount Meigs, that he was in favor of free trade, and that the tariff of 13 1G would produce more revenue than that of 1312 had done. This foreshadows a settlement of that vexed question, says the Mobile Tribune. - A Prairie du Chien paper says; "A singular custom prevails among ths Sioux Indians. Whenever a white man has resided among them for the Bpace of a month, he is required to take to himself a wife. The chief of the band among which he is, at the end of his time, comes to him with a young and handsome squaw, whome he must espouse and protect according totheir customs, or leave the country immediately."

"The last bird I ever fired at," says Lord Byron, "was an eagle on the shore of the gulf of Lepanto, near Vostizza. It was only wounded, a nd I tried to save it the eye was so bright.

There appears to be no abatement of the " war feeling," and appeals are still made to the people to animate their drooping spirits. The report that Gen. Worth had entered Puebla is fully confirmed. No opposition was made to Worth's entrance into the second city of Mexico. Santa Anna
in spite of his threats and boastings instead of opposing (Jen. Worth's division, made a precipitate retreat bef re the advance of our victorious army. Herrera was elected President on the 15th of May, at the convocation of Congress at the capital. This

Singular Occukkence. The Springfield Republic, in speaking of the work on the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad, relates the following singular occurrence. A car load of passengers would look well in such a scrape : "Between Bellefontaine and Weft Liberty, the road crosses a small prairie, which is evidently a lake, over the surface of which a heavy sod has grown. The road was graded and contractor were about to deliver it aa finished, when it sudJenly disappeared, and twelve feet water was found in its place. Thirty years ago, the grass was cut on this prairie, and haale f off on a heavy wagon. It is supposed that there is a subtcranean communication between it and the neighboring lakes. The road will probably have to be carried around the prairie.
"TnE Rcshville Jacksonian." This paper, published by S. S. Bratteu, Esq., has recentty been enlarged and otherwise improved. Finlet Bigger, Fsq., a gentleman of fine talents, and a powerful and argumentative writer, is the editor of the Jacksonian: and we doubt not that he and Mr. Bratteu will make a paper every way worthy the support of the Democracy of that portion of the State.

Tiie Montgomery (Alabama) Journal, a Wh g paper, in responding to an inquiry of a neighboring print, as to its motives in supporting General Tatlok, thus emphatically declares itself: "We answer the Advertiser with tiie directness that it has us, and in its own language, making even its italics ours, viz : "that our deliberate opinion has been repeatedly expressed to role for or aid in the election of no min who is for the " Wilmot proviso."

A Family Poisoned Dreadful Rerene. The family of Mr. Charles F. Mansfield, of Philadelphia, were poisoned lasijweek, by arsenic being put into aud boiled with their tea, by their adopted daughter, aged 15 years, whom they took when she was but ten years. It appears that Mr. M. refused to permit her to appear in company, alleging that she was too young; for which, to avenge herself, she procured the arsenic, and came near being tho cause of the dath of her benefactor and his whole family. She has made a full confession, stating that her object was to kill thein all, and get possession of their house and store, so that she might receive what company she thought proper.
Pistols for two, and Coffee. There is a fair prospect of burned gunpowder at Montreal. The editor of the Courier published there, having received some affront from a member of Parliament a French Canadian.) whose name we suppress, first describes him as "ail animal, a sort of cross between a he-goat and a Birbary ape," then charges him with telling "a wilful deliberate lie," and winds up by calling him "a slanderous scoundrel."

A large whig meeting in Columbia cour.ly, Georgia, recommended Henry Clay as the candidate oMhc whig party for the next Presidency.
as he was brave, endowed with a sentiment of chivalric loyalty, frequently unfortunate as a general, yet never feeble or incompetent, the Archduke was fully worthy of the eminent position which hisde--!iny h-iel assigne d him in the great wars to which the French revolution gave birth.
