TRAINS ATTACK El« AC—EXPECTED I ADVANCE 0&C.KS. TAYLOR. "1

3 By I he arrival of the »ehoos«r Vitiier at Nnw Orleans od the 23d ultimo, the Coir.morcia I Titoea has received the Mainmort* Flag of the 14th uh.. from which it derive* the f«»|. lowing information regarding things ia that part of Mexico and its vieiiilttr appears that the roadiroetween Co marfo and Monterey are becoming more and more infested with irregular cavalry and kuerrilla bands.

Mr. Cooidg«, of the Ms»«arhosefts regiment. and several other geetlemen, direct from Monterey, who left there on the 1st inst.. and armed bore on Monday last, furnish us with the following particulars of he operations of the guerrilleras on the Monterey read.

Or. the 30th of July an rxpress mail wagon for Monterey, with an escort of seven men under Lt. Reynold#, was attacked ten miles from Mann by about sixty Mexicans. The mail-driver succeeded in |nssing the ambuscade, and putting hi* horses to their speed, reached in safety the encampment of a train which was coining down from Monterey,— The escort were scattered by the assault, and two of the number nre missing, supposed to have been killed. The horse of a third was shot fr.im under him, but he effected his escape on foot. The mail proccded on to its destination.

The next day after the attack.a merchant's train, composed of sixty mules nnd several wagons, freighted with merchandise belonging to C«»l. Lewis P. Cook. Geo. N. Downes and Mr. Gleason. under a snialj wcori of citizens, was attneked at Puntn Agoda, by a targe force of Mexicans, and the entire train captured. The assault was so sutlden and so overpowering'hat no resistance could be offered. The first infimfitinn of an a

At the report of fire-arms. Mr. Gleason, who commanded the parly, nnd wns just mounting his horse to put the trnin ngaiti in motion, turned and found his train completely encompassed by Mexicnn cavalry, and himself and escort, only six in number, entirely cut off from it. The number of the attacking party coul-J not be correctly n«eertnined, but it wns sup|»osed to

In passing the spot where the attack had h«en made the evening previous, no vestnjje of the propertv had bC*en left. The body of the wagoner wns'found .i short distance from the road and buried. Connies commands the rubbers who Imvo proved so successfat in their forays of late.

At Ceralvo a large government train wasj met proceeding to Monterey, and the dragoons 1 who had just eamo down with the trnin from that place, were added to its escort nnd would return. Besides government properly, a large amount of private merchandise was going tip under protection of this escnrf, and another attack was expected, B«iwe/n Ceralvo and Camargo the train* are suffered to pass with, out molestation.

Mr. Coolidge informs us that General Tar* lor wns prepared for an onward march, and the general impreition was. :hat unless peace propositions were made by Mexico, he would be on the road to Ban Luis by the 1st of September.

The troops at Monterey and Saltillo were in excellent health. Likewise those at the Mier encampment.

A train of ono hwidred and twenty five empty wagons departed yesterday for Camnr go, escorted by Capt. BufJer's company of 3d dragoons. Thwi inin wWJ receive freight at Camargo and proceed to Monterey, and it is understood will make up »ufficient transportation for Gen. 1 aylor's intended march.

The following came to us by telegraphed par ports to ht*e been taken from N. Orleans papers of the 24th altimo

The same paper gives details of brutal out. rages committed by persons wearing the ant. jWm of Americiih soldiefs.

The New Orleans Time* of the 24th copies the following from the MaUmoros Flag of the 18th

By an arrival yesterday, from Camargo, we are informed that an order had been received from Gen. Taylor, directing a halt of the heavy wagon Uains, which were being got ready for Monterey, and which, it wa» supposed, were intended for the march upon ^San Lots. We cannot learn whether the dangers of the road or a final resolve not to mako any further advance with the army, has induced this order but, from other circumstances, we judge the latter cause to have dictated it. We have no further news by this arrival from the army.

Brigadier General Thomas Marshall and Major Churchill, of the Commits* ry Department, passed up the river yesterday, oa their way to join Gen. Taylor#

The fears expressed in Saturday'spa per for the safety of Messrs- Caxeau &Quandro, former merchants in this city, who were proceeding to Monterey with goods, have been allayed by the receipt of a letter in town, dated the Cth instant at Monterey, informing their arrival there without sustaining any

5§

A JUST AND INDIGNANT REBUKE. The Washington Union refers to an article in the Lexington (Ky.) Reporter as proof that the movement in reference to the else* tion of Gen. Taylor to the Presidency did not meet w|ih the approbation of Henry Clay. The Reporter article simply deprecated any organised action until after a nomination is made by a National Convention. The last number of that paper contains the following just response to the intermeddling of the

"Our course has ever been open and candid, on this and all other subjects uninfluenced by any motive but a sincere devotion to the country of our birth and the party of which fro are an humble member. We had consulted no one when we penned the article commefted on by the^Union although we wore afterward* highly gratified to find it met the almpst unanimous sanction of our Whig friends. We have put no man's name at the head of our columns as a candidate for the Presidential office at the next election nor shall we, until the Whig party, by means of its Natioaal Convention, or some other equally satisfactory manner, has made its selection. Whoever that may be—whether he be taken from the glorious battle-field of Buena Vista or of Ctrro Gordo, or from the dull pursuits of civil life—whether he be a gallant General or a practical Statesman, we shall devote ourselves and our Pre** to his election, with all our energy nnd zeal. It well become* the Uoion truly, to read lectures to the Whig press, about General Taylor—that remarkable man, whose miraculous victories have only been equalled by his considerate humanity, letiring modesty ond upright judgment. The Union whose master had let loose the cnged tiger, to destroy our troops, defeat and disgrace their General, while we were holding uo Santa Anna and his deliverer James K. Po/Jc to the just execration of ev$ry honest man in America. The hypocritical pretensions of the mouthpiece of the present Cabinet, hostile ns they and it have ever been to the gallant hero of the Rio Grande, can never excite jealousy or produce a feeling of rivalry between the unconquered leader of our linl« army on that frontier and the illustrious sage and farmer of Ashland. They know each other too well and are too firmly nllied bv mutual friendship, cemented ns it has recently been by the blood of the gallant son of the one. poured out on the hat. tie field while under the command of the other, to entertain any but kind feelings nnd perfect confidence in each other. No, no. Let the Union keep all its tears to be shed over the fallen fortunes and scattered fragments of its own pirty, when its present head shall retire at the end of his term to the private insirnifi'*ance from which he wns temporarily drawn by fraud and falsehood in 1844. The Whig party will take care of itself, and in proper time and maDner present its standardbearer to the country. Under their patriotic fi ig, when again unfurled, we expect to see rallying hundreds of thousands of the honest vcomanry and laboring men of the country, who were deluded nnd cheated into the support of imes K. Polk at the last election.— To all such men we bid cordial welcome. But we want no political vultures with us, who will hover over the battle-field on the day of trial, indifferent which side vanquishes, so that thev come in for a share of the offal of the conflict."

The London Times of the 11th August concludes nn article ori Mexican affairs with the following remarks on the proposed acquisition of California bj the United States: "The truth cannot be denied, thnt, if the market had but been opened a little more fairly. New California is of no more use to Mexico than Louisiana was to France. Not only is the population of Mexico almost stationary, whilst that of the United States increases at a rate greater than that of our own islands, but the country at the head of the California Gulf is such an irreclaimable waste that all ordinary intercourse by this route between Mexico and the upper provinces would be impossible, while the coast is of such a character as to render any regular communication by sea but little more practicable. California could never be settled by the Mexican*, whereas the tide setting westward from tlie United States shows what must almost necessarily result in that quarter. In the present day. the sovereignty of this bar ren and half exploded province may seem of small moment, but capabilities and promise have not escaped the eye of the prudent. Tho bay of San Francisco is the finest in the world, and described by Capt. Wilkes as am ply capacious enough to receivo the united navies of America and Kurope. From so fa vorable a harbor the course Hes straight nnd obvious to Polynesia, the Phillippines. New

Holland, and China, and it is not extravagant lo suppoee that the merchants of this future emporium may open the commerce of Japan. So grandly indeed are the destinies of this province prefigured by intelligent American writers that it has been represented as unlikely long to be subordinate to the powers of the Atlantic seaboard, but as promising to rise into an independent Power, which should-rule over the waters of the Pacific. Such is the region which an ambitious and aggressive State is now endeavoring to extort from an imbecile but obstinate neighbor-—an attempt in which it is indeed probable that she will ultimately succeed, bui ot* which the realisation appear* thrown to a greater distance by every successive mail.",

HITCHtso THE CUSSED THINS—The New Hampshire Register gives the following account of an incident on the New Haven and Hartford Road, soon after it went into opera:.oo. The train stopped at Meriden to wood up, & a figety gentieiwin, who was probably for the first time in his life, in a railroad car, and who held oo to his hat with both hands, from the moment the cars left Hartford, looking as though ho expected every moment to be shook out of the window, suddenly etepped out on the platform, and took a rapid look at the locomotive. Any thing the matter?' inquired a wag who had greatly enjoyed the countryman's perturbation—'Anything the matter? I should think there was something the matter if you noticed it. Why they've stopped right in th« middle of the road, and

hain't kitched ihe cussed thing/ 'Spose it should start? hey! 1 guest some of us 'ud be in kingdom come, afore night!'—A roar of laughter from the passengers in no wise altered the man's views of the superior safety of his position—'is case the cussed thing should statu'

The friends of Mr. Cur will be to tee that wherever he goes, he i« welcomed with the same enthusiattic feeling which he seems always to call forth. Y^hether he is a candidate or ft private citiidn.it is always the same thing*

The Washington Union and lis fciiwlred prints think all this i« for political efTect, »nd that Mr. Clay's journey was so intended. Without knowingany thing moreof Mr. Clay's objects than the country at large, we are absolutely certain that ,\ir. Ciay did not himself dream of these various manifestations of esteem and affection, which have been extended towards him. We suppose that no min nan be entirely insensible to them» and they will, of course, be gratifying to him. hut that hit visit had anything of a political nature in it, is we expect, rather feared by the Loco thua believed. At the t-ame time, Mr. CLAY is a public man in some respects, and if the coun* try should call him to the Presidency, that is with the country and not with Mr. Clay. i?e that as it may, no man can rend these outbursts of popular affection, nnd not bo satisfied that never has any public man in this country had so deep-rooted an attachment as Mr. Clay has on the part of his friends.

Inasmuch, however, as the question of the Presidency has been put afloat, nnd, in our opinion, not altogether in the right manner or at the rjght time, we may be permitted to sav. that we think that the claims of every distinguished Whig should be duly considered, and no one should be looked upon as out of the reach of a nomination. The Whigs will be at no loss for a candidate even if Mr. Clay does not desire his name to UA presented. When that nomination is made, nnd made upon duo reflection and consultation by the whole party, in Convention assembled, we have no doubt as to the'resull. In the mean time, the whigs, we think, should beware of any hasty action, especially ns much, we think, will be developed in the next Congress, which may have an important bearing upon the subject.

UNION nnd HARMONV, should be our watch words—Lexington Observer.

AN INCIDENT AT THE BATTLE OF MONTEREY.—While Col Davis, wiih his command, was Solly engaged with the enemy, exposed to their direct fire, a man in a long grey surtout suddenly rode up, ni\d, dismounting, placed himself in the middle of the street. There, in face of the enemy, amidst the thickest of their fire, he coolly drew from a case, suspended about his person, spy-glass with which, having adjusted it to a proper focus, he proceeded to reconnoitre the Mexican battery. Having satisfied himself as to the information he sought, he shut up the glnss, returned it to its case, and approaching Col. Davis, said to him:

4Sir.

the enemy has but two pie

ces, and by making a detour to the right, you can take :hem in flunk*''And who are you!' I, sir. am Major Mansfield, of the Corps of F.ngineers-''Ail righ'! come on bo\^!' respon ded the Colonel. The battery wus soon car ried.

Twelve dragoons were despatched to make a second reconnoitre of the bridge, and have not been heard of since. It is supposed they had fallen into the hands of the gueri'las.

The wagon train is supposed to be in safety beyond Cerro Gordo. It was reported ut Vera Cruz thnt Gen. Scott had met the enemy and was repulsed with the loss of 800 men but no reliance was p'aced in the rumor.
