PROSPECTUS For publishing in the City. of La l asattlenin amerion ioith the Intdligericttr, a Gormaapemocratic paper, . to be called the LANCASTER EAGLE. AT the urgent solicitation of many Democratic friends, as well as from our own belief that a paper of the kind is greatly needed in the County of Lan caster, and could be well sustained by our German population, we propose issuing a German paper with the above title, as sood as a sufficient number of subscribers can be obtained to warrant the un dertaking, The paper shall be conducted on strictly Demo. cratic principles, and will advocate the inen and measures of the party zealously and fearlessly. Strict attention will also be paid to the literary and news departments, and nothing shad be omitted on our"part to make it a useful family and political journal: Should a sufficient number of subscribers be ob tained, the publication of the paper will be com menced about the lst of January next. The "EAGLE' will be printed on a rnediuin sheet, and furnished to subscribers at the lOw price of $l,OO per annum—payable in advance, or before the expiration of six months from the time of sub scribing.

' It is a remarkable coincidence in the political history of the country, that the Whig administra tions at Harrisburg and Washington have both been' 'condemned by the people.in the first year of 'their existence—both being left - without a reliable ma jority in either branch of the legislative department of the government to carryout their wishes, in fact both the Executives will have, in all probability, the Senate and House of Representatives arrayed against them. In almost every instance in which elections have been held since the. advent of Fed eralism to power, the ballot-boxes have spoken in a loud and commanding voice, and the "powers that be" are given to understand, in a way that cannot be mistaken, that they have been ;"weighed in the balance and are found wanting," and that they do not possess the confidence of either the State or the Nation. Why this is so, we are not left to conjecture. The acts of WILLIAM F. John wrom and ZAeminr TAYLOR, (or those who admin ister the government for him,) have' been of so flagrant a character—so anti-republican—so con trary to the genius of our free institutions—and so utterly at variance with their pledges while seeking powei—that no other result could'have been anti cipated by any intelligent person. The American people are a reflecting people. They may, it is true, be misled for a season, and by frauds and mis representations induced to entrust Federalism with , power, as was the case twelve months ago; yet they never,lail to rectify the error into which they may have fallen, and visit the most speedy and condign punishment upon the heads of those who have abused their confidence. This ( is the true secret of the great political- re action of the present year. The people have been deceived and betrayed in the elevation of JOHNSTON and TAYLOR to power. They were'promised bread, and lo! they have received a stone. These men pledged themselves that they would proscribe pro scription, and yet they are the most proscriptive and intolerant partisans that ever were in power- They promised implicit obedience to the will of the people; and yet no previous administrations, if we except those of the elder Adams and Joseph Ritner, were so reckless in their conduct or so regardless of public opinion. They promised all things to all men—and, behold! after a trial of a° few short months, they have satisfied none. On tile contrary, they now meet withexecration and cursing from many of those who assisted in elevating them to power, and are as rapidly becoming obnoxious to the American people as ever did John Adams and Joseph Ritner. • We predict that for the next twenty years the people Of Pennsylvania and of the Union will take care not to be deprived of Demcratic rulers, as they axe now, at Harrisburg and Washington. The City and County Election. Our Democratic friends in this city deserve all praise for the glorious victory they achieved on Tuesday last. Last year our majority was only 152—this year it is 257! being a gain of 105 votes. Truly, this is a gratifying increase to the Democratic strength, and shows con&usively what our friends here can accomplish when they all do their duty. Firm as the Rock of Gibralter, this ancient town bids defiance to the waves of Federal. ism by which it is surrounded, and stands proudly prominent as the firmest and most reliable Demo cratic City in the Union. In the several boroughs and townships of the County, the Democrats also did their duty gallantly and nobly. Although contending against fearful odds, nothing discouraged they went into the con test with strong hands and willing minds, and the result of their patriotic labors is seen in the fact that the Federal majority in the county is reduced to 2909—a falling off from the Governor's elec tion of last year, of 1304, and from the Presidential election of 2301 ! We congratulate the Democrats of Lancaster county on this glorious result—a re sult alike cheering to themselves and to the Democ racy throughout the State. -,~, ~~,~, ~~ Glorious:West Ward--An Incident. On Tuesday evening last, about 100 Democrats formed a procession at the west end of the city, and, headed by those staunch and indomitable Democrats, Messrs.

The result of the election in Pennsylvania has settled the question of the Tariff, which was made by the Whigs the leading issue in the last cam paign. The Democrats were desirous of keeping that question out of the canvass—but our opponents would not permit it, and insisted that the destruc tion or permanency of the act of 1846 depended on the election of HENRY M. FULLER or Joni A. GAMBLE. The Whigs made this the great question of the campaign—and as Mr. GAMBLE IS elected by an overwhelming majority, of course the people have expressed their satistaction with the tariff as it is, and do not desire its destruction, or even any essential modification of its details. Is our neighbor of the Examiner satisfied with the decision of the sovereigns We received through the mail, a few days since a pamphlet copy of "An Oration delivered before, the Union Philosophical Society of Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa., July 11, .1.849,"' by Rev. GEORGE A. COFFEY, A. M., of Washington, D. C., on the "Socrer, CLASSES." It is a powerful vindication of the rights of the working classes, and a stern rebuke to the mushroom Aristocracy of the coun try, who ape the manners and customs of European lords and lordlings. The No Party Administration. It is well to look around, occasionally, and sum up the results of our progreSs, and see where we are. Seven months since, General Taylor and his friends came into power. They found the country at peace with all the world—honored and respected by all nations, and enjoying unrivalled prosperity in all its interests at home. Such was the high and commanding position in which the nation had been placed by Democratic councils, and Gen. Taylor, in his Inaugural, was compelled to congratulate the Union upon its proud elevation and glorious pros pects for the luture. How stand we now Confusion and distrust at home—difficulties and embarrassments abroad—the whole attention of the Cabinet given to, the distri bution of the spoils—while all the great interests of the country arf neglected or forgotten—the Post Office Deparkent one scene of confusion throughout the land, while its incompetent head is on electioneering tours, striving to sustain the tot• tering power to which he is indebted fur office— the State Department involved in disputes, and be. traying it weakness and querulousness to the gaze of the world—General Taylor, himself, surrender. ing his power to the Cabinet, and scarcely knowing what is done by those who hardly deem it necessary to ask his opinion—the country rapidly sinking in the estimation of foreign nations, through the bungling and manifest imbecility of those entrusted with power—and the honest, patriotic masses of the nation turning away, with very shame, for the folly and littleness of their rulers. This is a true picture of our condition, under the management of the Taylor dynasty, for the brief period of seven months. Where we shall be, at the end of their term, no human foresight can de termine. We look to the Democratic Senate to preserve the national honor, and to arrest our down ward progress. There is talent and patriotism suffi cient in that body to redeem our character and preserve the respect, of the world.—Batt, &pis, . Social Classes Fmm the lirsSth&t. Of The Verdict Of the People. We publish a table_befew showing the .ntirriber . ~. i h of members which were elected to e next Congresii before, and the number ilected :ace, Gen. Taylor came into power. It will be see that one hundrid and thirty-seven membersZwere elected before the 4th of March, of , whim! iighty-teo o were whin and onlyfifty-fue were DemOrati,_ The same inflrn- - ces which 'conspired to diet Gen. Taylor defeated the democratic candidat4 for Congress. Distric .. and even States, which had% been firm in many a trying contest, gave way before divisions in the democratic ranks, and Were seduced , by the glare of military renown and lid by fraudulent promises and false professions to sustain the Whig candidates for Congress, while they iustained the whig ticket for the Presidency. So i great was the whig pre ponderance, that when Gin. Taylor was inaugura ted the democrats had giten up all hopes of the next House of Representatives. . On the 4th of March ten. Taylor took the oath of office, and called around him his cabinet advisers. Immediately the illusion vanished! It became appa rent to all that the Hera of the Rio Grande was not equal to the duties of his office. Contrary to the expectations of his fritinds, he pursued the course of non-committalism in iris inaugural address, and, with a want of that frarikness which should char acterize a soldier, he faikd to explain to the people the principles on which Tie would conduct the peo ple's government. It .soon forme apparent, also, that his incapacity and titexperience forced him to surrender his high dutiei:into the hands of an irre sponsible cabal, composed of men most of whom were without distinction:as statesmen, narrow and contracted in their view, and bitter and vindictive in their feelings. These gentlemen had no regard for the pledges and prrimises which'Gen. Taylor had made. They trampled them under foot, like the insensible dust iinder their heels; and, disregar ding their official duties,ithey built up a system of party proscription more searching and sanguinary than any that ever afflicted our country. Not only were honest and faithful:, and capable officers dis missed from employmentt; but, without regard to the public interests, inexperienced and incompetent men were called to the public service in order to receive their reward for, their party allegiance.— The victors, quarrelling river the spoils, united in denouncing every species of opposition; and the powers of the government were employed to blacken the:reputations of those litho opposed them. Where ever the hand of the Executive was sewn, injustice, inefficiency, and bad faith were apparent in its ministrations. It was not long before the displea. sure'of the people becatrie manifest. Most of the Taylor democrats had been duped into the support of Gen. Taylor,= came back again to the democratic banner. The victory in Connecticut, and the growing weakness of the Admiaistration, gave some hopes of preventing an effective whig majority in the next House. The cruel and unprincipled vindict iveness of the cabal continued. The whigs sus. tained an exterminating - defeat in Virginia, and then the administration fouo that it might lose the House of Representativeh. Every effort was made which power and patrodage could make, to prevent such a result. Then tlOy called upon their insidi ous and busy agents to assist them. They had no Hercules to help them ih their distresses; but they called upon Truman Sntith, with all his experience and all his arts in the campaign of 1848, to issue his circulars, to employ his frank, to distribute the whig fund, and to send ids ministers of darkness over the land. But diSaster continued to follow disaster, until now thert are strong hopes that the democrats will control lkoth branches of the next Congress. Since the 4th of March, eighty-five mem bers have been elected, ,qty free of whom are demo. crats, and only thirty sta . whigs. Elections are yet to be held in Louisiana and Mississippi. These two States are .entitled: to eight members. The democrats will certainly', carry six of the eie 4 " . and we have assuranceslwhich lead us to b LI at we will carry all four it: Mississivr . '• ' perhaps all tour in Louisiana. But con'- • g two members — and the next House in the two States to the will then stand : .OCRATS 11(i, WHIGS 114 it we secure one gain in Mississippi, we shall have four majority in the .House. The vacancy in Massachusetts will not probably be filled; and the vacancy in Virginia will, without doubt, be filled by a democrat; and the ivhigs will not be able to control either branch of he next Congress. No party, flushed with recenf victory, has ever met with such reverses as thoie which have visited the Whig party since the fourth of March. No Presi dent has ever been confronted by such a formidable opposition as that which is arrayed against Gen. Taylor. We trust that tle lesson will not be lost on those who betray the Confidence and trifle with the good sense of the people. Surely it is.time for Gen. Taylor to pause in the career which he is pursuing ; to cease his preiscription ; to remember his pledges ; to redeem hit promises; and to look to his own glory and the :happiness of his country, rather than to the dictation of the irresponsible cabal which rules his counsels: Members elected befog the 4th of March.

An office holding correspondent of the Briftimori Patriot, writeifium Washington city, as follows Gen. Taylor is the man who will run- best .as the Whig candidate for the Presidency in 1852, and be iirthe only Whig, according to present appear ances, who can be elected. Every member of the Cabinet should rally around him, and doubtless will. 'We;have numerical force enough to maintain . our ascendency, if we all act together and with proper energy ; but we have no force to spare. The loco loco Philistines are upon us, and we must not be caught napping, quarreling, or dividing into factions of any kind. Clay men, Webster men, McLean men, Corwin men, Ewing men, Meredith men, Seward men, Fillmore men, and other wing men, must stand shoulder to shoulder as great and true Taylor men, or the whig party, three years hence, will not be worth a straw. The truth may as well be told first as last in this matter. We have all got to work, and to work harmoniously, to hold on to our wing ascendency." And the Buffalo Express gives the following rea sons why the Whigs should re-nominate General TAYLOR for re•election—which reveals anything buys consciousness of strength felt in the Federal ranks: "it is not to be denied, that the impression has obtained quite extensively in the country that the queition of the euccession has had a controlling in fluence upon the' action of certain members of the Cabinet. We do not doubt that this impression is without any foundation in fact; but the effect is just as bad as if it was a known thing. We dis credit the story utterly, and for the reason that we deem it impossible that any man in Gen. Taylor's political family can be so weak, so mistaken in his position, as to suppose jor a moment that he could make a decent show in a Presidential canvass. There can be no plainer proposition; than that there must be no contest for the nomination, if we expect to carry our candidate. Gen. Taylor is the only man upon whom all can unite, supposing the present condi tion:of things to continue for three years. Assume •for it moment that the General is to be out of the .field, what would be our situation? There will be half a dozen other men, with about equal compe ting pretensions. The strength of the nominee would be exhausted before he was put on the course. His whole power would be expended in beating his own friends, and he would be distanced by the adversary in the first heat.. Our safety is in ,standing by the old hero ;, and the people will put the stamp of their disapprobation on every man who straggles off after a new leader." Oh! Terrible Times Gen. TAYLOR'S abolition speeches and declara tions in western Pennsylvania, have raised a terrible breeze down South among his supporters—nol that they believe a word of it as to his sincerity, but it is raising the deuce with his party. The Augusta Republic, a Whig paper, bursts forth in the follow ing pathetic strains : "One thing we regret, for we saw the danger of it from the beginning, and that is, the efforts which have been made by many Southern whig leaders and presses, to suppress agitation of this subject, and conciliate the Northern whigs. What we feared has come to pass. We have lost ground at the,South, without being able to gain an inch for our , rights at the North. We fail to bring over the whigs of the free States, and sacrifice ourselves in the slave States. But for strong party attachments, it would have been worse. Is there a whig leader or a whig editor, in the South, who fears that Gen. Taylor would sign the Wilmot Proviso ? If there is one, it is his duty to tell him the truth—to tell him that the day he does sign it, he will sink himself to a depth of infamy in the South, far lower than all . his illustrious services ever elevated him to fame. If Gen. Taylor were to sign it, and the whig party of the South were to commit the folly of sus taming him in it, a deeper damnation never buried any people in a more hopeless political perditio than it would plunge them." - There you have it? And we seriously, who , doubts Gen. Taylor's - wnen his duty to his Southern friendthe safety of his 301) "big Arms" and e Janes" are cast into the scale? One t'-'6 is certain, Gen. Taylor and his adminis ation is fated—their doom is sealed, let him take either horn of the dilemma he chooses. To our democratic friends we say, be of good cheer— show good generalship enough to pass through the conflict of political elements now at work, and a time is coming still more glorious for the only successful democratic party on earth.— Ohio Statesman. New York Politics. -THE OLD DEMOCRATIC Frnts,—Tammany Hall, last evening, presented a sight to cheer the hearts of all true Democrats. It was the good old times over again, when a regular nomination was the prelude to an election, and the Democracy, united, enthusiastic and invincible, swept the city and county in triumph, driving every fragment of,whig gery before it, like chaff before the tempest. It was the first meeting of the nominating Con ventions, and the occasion brought together a large attendance. For the first time in a long while the Democracy were altogether in Tammany Hall, without reference to sections or factions. Where ever you turned, the old, well known faces were around you, burning with good feeling. The young guard and the old guard were out in their strength, and once more the hearty Democratic grip passed from hand to hand, that this time last year were arrayed against each other. It was a cheering sight. By-gones were by gones; the words "Hunker" .and Barnburner" were as much forgotten as though they never had been uttered. Every look and word indicated that the union was perfect and compile. On every side were expressions of reconciliation, harmony, and entire confidence in the success which awaits the Democracy of the city and county ; • now united, never more to be divided. The old Wigwam too looked itself once more, and shone out as bright, busy and stirring as in former days. Altogether it was an inspiring scene. The an cient democratic fires are rekindled, and the people all aroused, only waiting the word which is to lead them on to victory. From the New York Republic. The Prospect of Victory. The spirit already manifested by the people of this State. is indicative of the triumph 'which awaits the Democratic party in the coming election. From every section of the State we hear the most cheer ing intelligence, and there is a settled determination on the part of the Democracy to redeem the State and City from the extravagance, corruption and imbecility of the present administrations. The Whigs know this; the first indication of the re union of the democratic masses excited consterna tion in their ranks, and when that union was rati fied, and a ticket nominated, comprising the names of men whose character and qualifications for the respective trusts to be confided to them, challenges the most rigid scrutiny and investigation ; they knew that in the State, City and County of New York, every hope of perpetuating the power which they have so grossly abused, must be utterly abandoned. We say to those who effect to believe that there is at this time any discord or disunion in the ranks of the Democracy, that such is not the fact. Hai , mony, union, and good faith exist in our councils,. and gives energy to the efforts that will restore the Democratic party to power, and render permanent their union upon the broad and substatial platform of their ancient and universally recognized princi ples. The progressive spirit of the age is essenti ally Democratic, and no earthly power can realist or retard its onward beneficial course. Every reform that has contributed to the happi ness, interest and prosperity of our country, has been the work of Democratic administrations .and Democratic Legislatures—every measure which has contributed to our national glory abroad, has been in like manner the result of Democratic measures. This is an established fact; equally so is the fact that the Whig party never yet could retain the power, for the simple reason that they never have nor never can secure the confidence of the people.

As their Justice of the Peace, he is regularly elected. Have they, unfor tuuately, a dispute about their lands and titles, he is chosen; and, shouldering hii compass and chain, with a heart of honesty as large as his manly pro. portions, he regulates their difficulties, and snakes all, friends again. He is their universal umpire, arbitrator and referee. As their executor, their ad• ministrator, or their children's guardian, they repose their all in his hands, and their trusts are attended to with fidelity and despatch. At every Democratic County Convention, he is invariably a presiding officer; and when the overwhelming Whig majority of 4000 was to be counteracted by an effectual rally of the Democracy, he has been selected, set tled and placed upon the Democratic ticket for Congress, and only defeated by 800. Mr. Martin is a Lancaster county working Farmer, and in every sense of the word a man of business. As a practical surveyor and engineer he is equal to the best in the State. He is the very kind of man most useful to his fellow citizens, and none more ably qualified could be selected to fill the office of Canal Commissioner. Therefore we would rally for the Lancaster county practical engineer, the Lan caster county working former—and rest satisfied, that with Squire Peter Martin as our next Can our confidence would secure a glorious triumph- SINCERITY. SEntOus Ace's)Errx.—On Saturday morning last, as two of the masons were finishing a portion of the cornice of the intended factory, , the brick work gave way, precipitating from a height of eome fifty feet, a most worthy and industrious young man, named ANDREW Fr.i.tx, from Adams county. He was lifted and conveyed upon a, litter to his boarding house in great agony. Mr. Espenshade, the proprietor of his boarding house, made every arrangement immediately, giving him the most comfortable quarters in his house. In addition to the terrible shock which his whole body sustained, it was found that he must have landed upon his right foot, demolishing the ankle and shivering the bones as high up as the thigh. Drs. GEO. B. KERFOOT and E A. MUFILENBERG found it imperative to amputate the limb, which was done in presence of Drs. B. S. MUALENBERG and C. L. BARER. • We understand the man is doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. We may add, as this is now the second melan choly occurrence in ten days at the same building, the men should be very careful, especially as the projecting character of the cornice is liable to en trap any who may stand upon it. fitr At a special meeting of ti , - ,iendship Hose ....e following preamble Company, held October F and resolutions w . unanimously s:dopted : W ,_ „ Divine Providence, in his infinite and wisdom, having seen proper to afflict ue in removing from among us, by death, our much beloved fellow-member, CHARLES BOWMAN; There fore Resolved, That while we deeply sympathise with the afflicted family of our lamented friend, we bow with meek and humble submissionbefore that hand which righteously sways the sceptre, and acknowl edge in it the divine justice of Him who doeth all things well.

Houses Burned, and Several Persons Killed and It is with sincere regret that we record the oc currence of one of the most dreadful and sangui nary riots that has taken place for many years in our city. So far as we have been able to collect the particulars, it appearsghat a gang of men and boys, amounting it is said to several hundreds, and mostly armed with guns, pistols or knives, hovered about St. Mary's street, which is chiefly inhabited by colored people, and those not of a decent and orderly class, generally speaking. At the same time, there were several knots or crowds of colored men hanging about, and two or three collisions occurred. This was the state of things shortly after nine o'clock. Before ten, an attack was made upon a tavern at the corner of Sixth and St. Mary streets, called the California House. This place was kept by, a colored man, who was reported to be married, or at any rate, living with a white woman.— Whether such was realy the case, or merely a ru mor, circulated to excite popular indignation, it is not in our power to state. At any rate, the house was soon in flames, the inmates driven out and fired upon, with many other colored persons—men, women, and children—who were seen flying from their houses in extreme terror—chased by gangs, who pelted them with brickbats and fired after them with guns and pistols. Several were said to be wounded—and it is stated that more than one was killed. But this report we could not verify. The assailants are desciibed as being composed of the " Killers" and other similar associations of dis turbers of the public peace. Meanwhile the fire made rapid progress—but several engine and hose companies were soon upon the ground. And here a truly frightful scene occurred. The firemen who went to the conflagration for the purpose of saving property were fired upon, not in solitary cases— but actually in a running fire and by volleys of several guns and pistols at once—the rioters being out in very strong force. They were also assailed with showers of brickbats, and their hose cut in every direction. In a word, the first companies that arrived were compelled, as the only mode of avoiding wounds or death, to leave the neighbor hood. Still the firing continued. It is impossible to tell the number of killed and wounded—but we saw either five or six carried to druggists' shops or to the hospital, on chairs or settees. We heard that tivo were shot while standing on an engine— !and one was reported to be killed. The most moderate-statements that were made at 12 o'clock, admitted that at least twenty were wounded, and about four killed. Shortly before midnight,a body of police forced their way to the scene of action, fire and bloodshed; and while standing in Sixth street below Lombard, we heard at least a dozen shots fired between St. Mary's and South streets, while brick were showered by the rioters—but as the body of men, which we were told were police was not re pulsed, it was fair to presume that the rioters had given way. Still, the dangerous missiles flew in showers and ! at this time, one or two engines and hose companies—the Moyamensing and Hope, as we were informed, were exerting themselves to extinguish the flames. The whole scene was fear ful and mournful—a source of real sorrow to every Philadelphian. At the corners of all the streets for many squares, were groups of citizens assem bled, anxious for the latest intelligence, and mourn ing over the insecurity of life and property iii that portion of our metropolis. Barney Himmelwright, a member of the Good Will Hose, reported to have bqkn shot through the heart. Two other firemen dangerously wounded--one iii the head and one in the side. A third 'wounded in the leg. 11:7 Snow fell-on Sunday last in Temple, N. H. ten miles from the Massachusetts line, to the depth of two inches on a level. LOCAL ITEMS. Committee Wounded ...or>.

The subjoined seaso”......remarks we clip from the Nor "an. They are so well-timed and ”‘ ppropriate, and withal so full of truthfulness, that we think it will br subserving the cause of human ity by transferring them to our columns: The Poor we have with us always; and this re membrance should be an injunction on all who are blessed with means, and shielded from the rough assaults of want, to consider the requirements of those who are placed in an opposite condition, and out of their own abundance to supply them. The cool winds and the shortening days admonish us that the season is approaching when this duty be comes most impressive; and we trust that the hearts of our community will be duly stirred to strengthen the hands of the philanthropic who have given time, and thought, and means to secure the alleviation of misery. Few cities in this country possess eleemosynary institutigis so extensive and perfect as our own, or so liberally sustained ; and none have more of those admirable private organi zations which, without seeking publicity, penetrate into the byways where misery and privation reign, and gain universal admiration by their patient and generous ministrations to wants. The genial heat of summer and the fullness of autumn fruits make the condition of the poor com paratively easy while they last; but against the blasts and snows of winter there can be no bearing up, unaided, and in this gloomy season it is that "The conscious heart of charity should Warm, And her wide wish benevolence dilate." It will not, rob the fireside of the wealthy of a single pleasure, nor abate a bodily or mental com• fort to know that a little has been bestowed to make pleasant the cheerless heart of the shivering and desclate, and to sustain the famishing by giving the crumbs which have fallen from the table of abundance—but rather add a keener zest to social joys—a quieter repose to the conscience, and a greater love for all that lives. We trust that the various societies whose special business it is to relieve the needy, are making pre parations comprehensive in their character and practically efficient. They will not, we are sure, appeal in vain to the sympathies of our community; or, with empty coffers, be condemned to witness suffering which they have not the power to banish. Presidential Obliviousness. Col. Robert Butler was one of the first emigrants to East Florida, after it was annexed to the United States, was soon after appointed Surveyor General of the district, comprising the new territory, and has been retained' in the same situation by all suc ceeding Presidents up to Gen. Taylor, who has given him his walking papers for no other reason than that of being a democrat. This veteran soldier is first cousin to Gen. William 0. Butler, and acquired great distinction for bravery and good conduct in the beginning of the war of 1812, on the north western frontier, under Gen. Harrison. After Gen. Harrison's resignation, he was transferred to the 7th Military District, under the command of Gen. Jackson, with whom he served in all the arduous operations against the Southern Indians. He was Adjutant General of the district, and arrived here with Gen. Jackson on the Ist of December, 1814. Always self-collected and full of intelligence, he rendered efficient service to the common cause on all occasions that Mitred. He forined the army for action on the night of the 23d of December, and led several successful charges against the enemy under the eye of the Commander-in Chief. To sum up his merits in a few words, he was one of the most distinguished officers of the army—and was repeatedly mentioned by his commander in terms of approbation in his general orders, and in des patches to the War Department. The army was organized in the year 1812 by a board of officers, (Genl's Brown, Scott and Gaines ; ) a majority of whom were hostile to Gen. Jackson, and Butler was arranged to the post of Lieutenant Colonel of the First Infantry, although he was fully entitled to the rank of Colonel; and Lieutenant Colonel Taylor (Old Zack) was made Major of the 7th. Butler sent a message to Taylor by Lieutenant Tonett, assuring him that he, Butler, did not intend to occupy the grade to which he, Taylor, was enti tled, and would not be instrumental in reducing him and other meritorious officers below their proper rank. And Butler did accordingly resign. Had it not have been for this magnanimous step of Butler, Lieutenant Col. Taylor would have been a Major, and would never have been commander of our forces in Texas and of the gallant army that gained such high renown in the north of Mexico. Some other officer (probably Robert Butler,) would have commanded the brave volunteers at Buena Vista—and Zachary Washington would never have been thought of as a candidate for the Presidency. We regret for the honor of human nature that this feature of Gen. Taylor's character has been disclosed. He owes everything to the brave and generous Butler, and he returns the obligation by . turning the veteran out of office! Ingratitude has been called the sin of sins. Shakspeare says "he that's ungrateful has no crime but one." Who would not rather be Butler out of office, than Tay lor President of the United States I—New Orleans Courier.

The Little Rock 4rk.) Banner of September 18, contains a letter, gitin. ' the particulars of several murders in that Stale, from which we make the following extract:—lwill now give you an account of one of the outrage 4 perpetrated in that unfortu nate county, Marion. ' On Friday night last three of the Kings were murdered in cold blood. You recollect of h battle that was fought at Yellville, some time dnce, between the Kings and Everette, Some days lince, Mooney, (the Sheriff of Marion county,) and some of the Everetts followed one of the Kings vho had moved front Marion to Con way county, and settled; when Mooney & Co. ar rived at Kits' they found him in the act of moving back to Mason county. They took him prisoner. King told hem they might tie him, or do as they chose, as hi would go with them peaceably, but he did not third( their intention was to take him to Yellville, aft he believed they intended to murder him on tie way. Mooney and 'Everett told him all they usnted was to take him back to Yellville, and give him a trial by the laws of Arkansas, which Kiig very readily agreed to, and told. them all he warted was a fair and impartial trial by the laws of hii country, but told them at the same time that he liver expected to go where he could' have a trial. lis father, brothers, and I think two cou sins, said they would go with him as long as he was unehy. The Kings all went unarmed.— Mooney It 'Co. numbered about twenty.. They were arnbd each with a rifle gun, pair of pistols, and a bogie knife. King's family moved on either ahead orthehind the company, I do not recollect whiZl3, bit so it is—on the way two of King's little children sere taken very sick. The night before the hellist deed was perpetrated King learned that one of hiichildren was dying; he pleaded for God's sake to him go and stay with his poor little dying add that night, and told them to chain him, or tie hit in any way, and go with him, so they would lethim see his dying, child, which vas near and dear lo him; but all his, prayers were in vain, they told aim he could not see any of his offspring die. The next morning King told his old gray headed fdher that he, his brothers, and cousins, had bette get away and take care of themselves, as he wi conscious that their fate wa r s sealed. The old man and the boys told him that they would stir with him, and all die together, if the company ptended to murder them. At length the assassins tommenced dropping off, one at a time, until onlyten or twelve were left to take the pris oner on tcwhere his fate was to be forever sealed. Mooney started to leave the company two or three times but iyould return in a short time, and again leave the tempany. When he returned the third time, he tiak a man out and talked to him private ly for an limr, when he left the company entirely. The rest a, the assassins then left the road, with the Kings and went some distance into a deep hollow; tley there yvanted the Kings to get down off their hises, but they refused. Some c 0 of the party gave a sign for all hands to repriith, their rifles, which was done in quick time; the then asked the Kin g s again to get down from theiehorses; they still refused; when one of the company gave the sign to shoot, which was obeyed, an, the firing commenced. Two of the Kings—the: old man, and one of his- sons—fell about thirtf steps apart, the other son's horse run about two hundred yards before he fell. They then shot its horse, and killed him. The horse fell across his legs and broke one, after he was dead. The other two Kings (the cousins) made their escape. They run down their horses, and hid themselves until dark, and then went to the settle ment, raised ; a company. and went with them to whire hey got help to bring in the bodies of the three that were murdered. North of Ye (two men,) Churchitian and Coker, were plating cards on Saturday evening, September Ist. They fell out about two dimes, when Coker drev his knife and stabbed Church man in the breast killing him instantly. Hampton Tutt,of Marion county, was shot at a few days ago, while riding along the road. It is said that he has left the country. John Eferett went to Lebanon, in Searcy county, a few days ago, and attempte4 to kill John M. Hensley, but was prevented' from committing the bloody deed at the time. He will kill him if he stays here. The Banncr has the following notice of the pro gress of events after the outrage:— • The sheriff of Marion county, after heading the party who killed the Kirgs, has fortified himself near Yellville, and is backed• by a sufficient force to defy any legal process, to arrest bins or the ac cessories. Hon. D. Walter, Judge of the Supreme Court, issued a writ for ;heir arrest, but the posse were not strong enough to enforce law. Governor Roane has issued an order to Gen. A. M. Woods, of Madison county, au officer of his staff, to see that the supremacy of the laws are maintained, to be aided if required b3l a call of the militia. teanimercial Recarb.
