Baltimore, Md.
Ohio.—The result ol the election in the Lcgis*

please oar Whig friends in thht State. We are
sorry for them, bnt they most try and do better,
and hang together hereafter, or they will in future

The following is the resnlt of the ballot. —
Mr, GHddings, for Senator, was nominated by
Mr Beater, Mr Allen by Mr Whitman, Mr Ewing
by Mr Rebel, and Mr Chase by Mr Smart- The
baOothjgs were as follows. —
Ist Ballsi—Ewing 41; Allen 27; Giddinga 9;

Disney 1; blanks 11- Mr Allen’s name was then
withdrawn.
2d Ballot—Ewing 41 , Allen 2; Giddings 6,
Chase 52; blanks 4.
3d Ballot —Ewing 39; Giddings 9; Chose 55;
Vaagban 2; blanks 2. There being an error in
the ballot, another was had.
4th Ballot—Ewing 39; Chase 55; Giddings 11;
Vaagban 1; and so Chase was elected.
For Judge of Saprejne Court, Spencer bad 43;
Spalding 54; and Wade 1; so Spalding was elec

CaidweQ 51; and Co wen 11scattering % so
Oaldwell was also elected.
EhUomon Bliss, a Free Softer, was then chosen
President Judge of the Lorain Circuit, by CO votes;
Stetson receiving 37; Williamson 3; and blanks 3.

Qcntral Taylor and the Indiana Vol
General Taylor, for political effect, was charged
with having slandered the. second regiment of In
diana Volunteers, touebiag their conduct in the bat
tle of Buena Visas.
On Tuesday, the 13th mstant, General Taylor
was welcomed at Madison, by a large number of l
the citizens, and, in a speech, as reported in the '
Banner, he thus allades to this false accusation
“He referred to the Indiana Volanteers, and 1
said that be had been charged with slandering a
portion* of them, which was not true. He said
that, owing to his early life and associations, be 1
fell more than ordinary affection for them. He
claimed the citizens of Kentucky and Indiana as
■n«nng those for whom he cherished the wannest
regard. He named General Clarke and General
Bartholomew as being, with others of the pioneers
of Indiana, his early and honored associates, and
that the descendants of some of his best friends
were smong the Second Indians Volunteers; mere'
fore Be could have no motive to do injustice to
them* but the contrary.
He had only followed the reports of their own
officers, and be regarded his report as more favor*
able than the reports of his subordinates. He said
that he bad every confidence in the soldiers of the
2d regiment; and,,had an opportunity occurred, be
should have placed them in the van, and in a po
sitiftw where he- was confident they would have
rttrieval their misfamtnex, and that be would have'
been willing to risk his reputation upon their fa*
ture conduct. He attributed the accusation agaiast
him, in regard to' the Indiana Volunteers, as flow*
ing from an over anxious desire to accomplish par*
ty purposes, and it was, perhaps,
for the health of the iofiitutions of our country that'
(here should be party organizations to waich its in-,
tereats—that any party should be so far led astray j
as to regard its interests poramoant to the sacred*
of truth, tbs good name of the public servant,

To Wu. Nslhoh, Pag-, U.S. Consul at Panama:—
Ba>— I The laws of the United States inflict the
penalty offino and imprisonment on trespassers on
the public lands. As nothing can be more unrea
sonable or unjust than the conduct pursued by
persona not citizens of the United States, who are
nocking from all parts to search for and carry off
gold from the lands belonging to the United States
ui California, and as such conduct is in direct vio-
latino of law, it will become my duty, immediately
cn oy arrival there, to put these laws in force, and
, to prevent their infraction in future, by punishing,
with the penalties provided by law, ail those who
offend.
Aa these laws are probably not known to many
who ore’' about storting to California, it would be
well to make it publicly known that there are such
laws in existence, and that they will be, in future
enforced against all persons not citizens of the
United States, who shall commit any trespass on
the lands of the. United States in California.
Yoor position as Co haul here, being in comma*

We pohliahed a telegraphic'' d< ispatch /rum
Charleston, giving several items of 1 tews from the
Isthmns of Panama, and California, b rought by the
brig Henrico. The Charleston Com ier gives some
further particulars, from which We e x tra cl the fol
lowing:
_ W* *re indebted to the polite ait ention of Capt
Phelps, a passenger on board the 1 Jenrico, for the
following interesting information with regad to mat
ters in California and in the Pacific.
Capt. Phelps left San Francisco on 12th Septem
ber, San Diego on the Ist October, and Valparaiso
on the 30th December, at noon. •
The U. S. ship Independence; Com. Shubrick,
was at Valparaiso when Capt. Pfielpa left, to sail
, in a few days for the United Slates, via Callao. ‘
Mrs. Abel, the lady of the fai* U. Slates Con
"tul at the Sand wich Island, died on board the In
dependence, JatiValpar aiso, about the 27th of De
camber.
Mr. Barton, the U. 3. Charge to Chili, was mar
ried at St Jago about the 2Sth Dec. by the Chap
lain of the Independence to a lady of the country.
The Catholic Bishop refused bit sanction to the
nuptials on account of the Cba rge being a Protest
ant and the lady a Catholic. Aft er the marriage
was performed by the Chaplain, the Bishop assert
ed that the Minister had a wifi; then living in (be
United States, whereupon the Minister addressed
a note to the Bishop demondiug an apology, with
the threat that unless one W.as given within
twenty four hours, it would become a National
affair.
The California was to 'have left Panama about
the Ist instant for San Francisco, with 350 pas
sengers on board. It is stated that she will re
alize 60,000 dollars for the passage and freight
charges,
Much dissatisfaction existed anfong those who bad
engaged their passage in the boat nl New York, on
account of all not being able 100 btain accominoda
lions the California having taken 60 or 70 passen
gers 00 board at Callao, indignation meetings had
been held iu reference in this matter, which was
considered a violation of contract, and there were
fears there \?ould be trouble m nettling the difficul
ty
la consequence of the scarcity of mules, and the
worn out condition of those in use, most of the
merchandize and baggage required to be transpor
across the Isthmus, was conveyed on the backs of
the natives, who, taking advantage of the stale of
things, were charging enormous prices. Many
of the emigrants were crossing on foot, anff some
carrying tranks and baggage on their backs. A
number had died from fatigue ahd exhaustion, and
many others were taken sick on the road.
Tbe honesty of the ualives is proverbial. Oa the
arrival of passengers at Gorgoila and Cruces, me
custom is for the natives to engage for the tran*-
portation of all the merchandise 1 and baggage they
can lay their hands on, the owners of which pro
ceed on to Panama, expecting their goods wiil be
there on the following day. The earners, howev.
cr, calculate otherwise. They deposite their freight
just without the villages in piles in the woods, and
take them across to Panama promiscuously and at.
their leisure, but they ail arrive safe eventually.—
Bales, boxes, trunks, and packages of specie are
thus left to the mercy of tbe poor half naked na
tives, and a robbery by them- has never been
known. The agent of tbe California paid $3,000
for the transportation of 142 packages from Cha«
gres to Panama.
The British Royal Mail Steamer Trent, arrived
at Chogres on the 29th January, and left again on
the same day, taking in at Chagres one and a half
million in specie. The Yellow Fever broke out”
on board the Trent, shortly after she left Kingston;
and previons to her arrival at Chogres, seven per
sons bad died, and seventeen other cases were :
then reported on board, m consequence of which .
moat of the passenger* from Peru and Chili by the
Br. Pacific steamer declined going on board the
Trent, preferring 10 charter a vessel at Chogres fur
Charleston, and conseqsently engaged the Henri
etta to bring them here.
Tbe schr. Sovereign, with passengers from Bal
timore, arrived at Chogres on Che 30th—ail well.
Tbe Bcbr. anchored in the nver, and alt hands, pas
sengers, captain and crew, started the next day for
Panama.
H. B. M. surveying ship Herald, and brig Bando
re were at Panama. The Herald had been to tbe
north to endeavor to gain intelligence of Sir John
Franklin, but retimed without hearing anything of
him. *
At Chagrea, the brigs Mary Penoel and Caroline
P!aU still remained on shore. Attempts were mak
ing to get the Caroline Platt off.
Mr. Sterling, of Baltimore, and Mrs. Clark and
family, of Massachusetts, were left at Chagres to
lake passage in the next vessel that offers.
.We learn from Capt. P. tbatthtrr is verv little
difficulty in getting across from Panama to Cha
gres, but in returning there id much to be en
countered, and many are seen along the road,
too much exhausted and fatigued to make further
progress.
CapL Phelps informs us that be was quite fami
liar with tbe country .about the gold region, long
before it was known that it contained within tti
: bosom the rich metal which is now taken from it
lin such profusion. Nine years ago, when attached
to the ship Alert, of Boston, he went up the Sacra-
mento River in a boat, and was-Jhe first man that
ever hoisted an American flag on its banks. He
' was also frequently in that region when Colonel
Fremont was there with his Corps of Engineers,
and often encamped with them. He then little
dreamed that they were treading over snch a vast
body of the precious metal, nor d«s he imagine
that any one in the expedition had an inkling of it.
unless it was Col. Fremont himself whose search*
ing mini! might bnveteade some discoveries that
induced him to'return to that country recently.
The Henrico brings 00 gold on freight Capl>
Phelps showed us some specimens, wearing the
form in which they were taken from the earth.
Their appearance is similar 10 that of gold poured
rom a crucible in an irregular surface, and appa
rently, quite pure.
A letter from Valparaiso, under date of Dec. 20,
published in the Courier, says
“CapL Phelps has with him 127 pounds 01 gold,
which is worth in this mac Let $3OO per lb. ors3B,
100, all which he dug and made by trade 10 six
months, and many others have done as well. He
takes his with him to the United States.
From Pasa.ua.—Tbe Washington Union of Sun
day morning has the following additional news 10
relation to the Panama route: —
We have been favored with an extract of a let
ter from an intelligent officer of the navy, dated at
Panama, January 14. He gives an 'account ol the
difficulties of crossing the isthmus, and advises his
countrymen to ‘go by wav of Nicaragua, St. Louis,
Cape Horn, or the Cape of Good Hope, sooner lhao
take this route.' He says that a email steamer
plying up the river Chagres, aetd thence a plank
road constructed to Panama by the labor of the
natives of the country, is the be[»t way of crossing
the isthmus.' He adds, that‘all the exlravageut
stories of the mines seem to be confirmed here;
but the expeose of living must dauae dreadful suf
fering to multitude*.’ An ordinary dinner ut rfan
Francisco costs SIU, and everything else in the
same proportion.
Afpaos is VtAraoELA—Tezhbuk Battle.—ll
has already been annouoaed that the insurgents
under Paex had been defeated m a naval en
gagement by President Moaagos, at Maracaiboi
and ut San Carlos he lost possession of the fort.—
It seems that they afterwards sustained another
and third defeat which has nearly anmoilated
them.
* This look place on the 3l*t of fteecmber. Dear
a village called San Carlos, upon the river Zuila,
and similarity in name* has l«!d, in all accounts
published, to a mingling with this ol the affair of
the 24th previous, and conaAqueblly to confusion.
The insurgents to the number of about 1.200
men, and protected by the steamer General Jack*
son—formerly the Buena Vista—occupied the vil
lage of Sao Carina, and were surprised by A l*ody
of 363 Government troops, after a night march
made with the grealefl secrecy. The rooteal last
ed four hours, and was a fierce and desperate one,
but the victory wu* at last obtaiaed by the forces
of the Government, by setting fire to the bouses

herself the first to set the example of applying the

A great number perished itr the flame*, more
than a hundred were drowned, In their endeavors

THE‘FLIGHT OF THE ANTELOPE*
An Episoda in ths hft of Ku Carton.
BT DAVID 1- SKOW!*.
In looking over my memoranda of Rocky Moun
tain adventure, I find the following notices with an
interval of seven days between their respective
dates:
u August 3.—lt is now nil but certain that poor
Fontainelle has been murdered by the Blackfeet.
Kit Carson, who has been searching the couptry
m all directions for the last three days, has just re
turned and reports that he has no hopes of his being
alive, having followed, on what be considered to
be-his trail, for some twenty mile*, to the vicinity
of the Madison River, where his horse's tracks be*
came mingled in tbe.footpnnU of other horses; and
then having continued in the stfmet direction to tbe
north bank of that stream, he found a puddle of
blood upon the ground with some fragments of
clothing resembling that which Fontainelle wore.
Here, Carson says, a desperate straggle, os if for
life, appeared to have taken place, the grass and
earth being torn np and trampled in all directions
for a apace of twenty yards. This u a sad, sad busi
ness; it Urftl kill poor Catherine.'’
The other entry is as follows:
u August 10.—Catherine, the daughter of Batiste
Uoqum, who started with tbe camp yesterday
morning, has mysteriously disappeared. The coun
try has been scoured in all directions, bnt not a
vestige or trace of her can be found. God grant
she may not have fallen into the bands of these ac
cursed savages, the BlackfeeL If my fears should
be well founded l shudder to comemplale the fate
of the poor girh Mark Head has sworn a fearful
oath, to cut of every Blackfoot be may
come across, be it madwoman or child. From what
1 know of Mark, 1 have no doubt that he will be us
good as his word.”
W hat a flood of recollections rushes upon
memory in glancing over these brief and meagre
passages.'
Julien Fontainelle, tbe person alluded to in the
first of the above extracts from my note book, was
a creole or nauve of Louisiana, of French extrac
tion, as his name implies, of a warm and affection
ate, although volatile disposition, and was aa much
beloved for his fraok and manly qualities, as he was
respected and admired for his uncompromisiug
honesty and unhlencbingcourage. There wasquite
a romance attached to his life. He was about
twenty-five years of age, that most enviable period
of a man’s Ufa, wnen as yet satiety and distrust
have not stepped in to deadon enjoyment, aod im
pair our confidence in mankind. His education
was evidently good and he had as evidently been
accustomed to good society. He bad come to the
mountains about three years previous to this lime,
and had been employed in the service ot the Fur
Company, as a trapper, up to the lime oi his disap
pearance.
Those admitted to his confidence, and they were
few, had been I old a tale of love, suflenng and re
morse. Of his having wooed and won the affec
tions of a young lady, tbe daughter of a rich mer
chant of New Orleans—the latter having at first
countenanced and afterward discarded the lover
of his child, when a richer and more eligible suit
or. in a worldly poiol of view, bad presented him
self Of bis having beea driven to despair and
desperation, in consequence of a quarrel, chal
lenge, and duel, in which the only brother of his
beloved was the victim. Ol her consequent agony
and entrance into a nunnery, and taking the veil;
thus cutting off, and for ever, all hope from her
lover. Such ia a brief sutnraarv of ail that was
lertainly known of the former life of Fontainelle.
Catherine was an Indian girl, the daughter of
Bauste Coquin, a full blooded Iroquois, who had
been in the employ of the Fur Company for 8
number of years as a hunter and trapper. Her
mother, who bad died while ahe was yet in her
infancy, bad been a Snake or Shoshone woman,
who had been captured by the Crows, the heredi
tary enemies of her tribe, while very’ young, aad
sold by them for a trifling consideration to tbe fa
ther of Catherine.
A more beautiful Indian girl than Catherine Co
qoio I have never seen. At the tune of her dis
appearance she was about sixteen or seventeen
years of age. with all the infantile grace and inno
cence of cfoldhood sweetly blended with the just
awakening power and enthralling fascination of
earliest womanhood. A party ot Shawnees and
Delawares, belonging to our camp, in admiration
sf her beauty, had conferred upon her the appro
priate and poetical name of Showeoa, or the An
telope.
As may readily be supposed, there were nume
rous suitors for the hand of the fair Indian girl
among our hunters, bat none appeared to meet
with any encouragement, save Julien Fontainelle:
and *0 universal a favorite was he wiih the whole
lamp, that scarcely any, even of those who bad
made pretensions, to the honor of ber hand, be
grudged bun the happiness they bad *0 fondly as
pired to. Still there was one man, whose lower
ing brow and ruthless character, portended nny
thing but happiness to the youthful lovers. This
was Mark Head, a man whom 1 have alluded to
in previous sketches of tbe Rocky Mountains, and
who was knowa and feared by the Indian tribes
wherever the Fur Company's men had penetrated,
for his ferocity*and courage, many of (heir best
and bravest warriors having fallen under his dead,
ly nfle.
Although the father ofSbowena, as our Indian;
rrmed her, appeared to have no particular prefer*
race for any of his daughter’s suitors previous to
the lime ol'Jubeu Fonlainelle’s disappearance
and probable death, yet since that event, it became
obvious that some powerful though hiddea influ
ence, in addition'lo the grief naturally consequent
upon the forebodings connected with her lover's
fiite, was exerted over Catherine’s rafnd, from the
rapid change that took place in her appearance and
demeanor. Prom being the life and soul of the
:arnp, the poor girl became emaciated and spin!
less; so that we could scarcely recognise, in ibi
dejected and melancholy Indian maiden, the once
buoyant aad happy creature, whose artless moo
pence and beauty bad relaxed the brow* and pen'
fctrated the hearts of our rude and stern hunter*.—
It was, therefore, conjectured that Batiste, her tilth
er, who was a wary and unscrupulous man, and
who, from his known disposition and character had,
by the Creole and Canadian French of our party,
been sarnamed Coqum, (rascaJj was using an uii'
due influence over his daughter’s mind, to constrain
her to become the wtte of Mark Head. These
conjectures became certainties, when, in a few
days after tbe return of Kit Carson from his iruit*
less search after Fontaine!!©, Head himself am
nounced his approaching marriage to Catherine
Such was the state ol affair* when the pamtiil
sad unexpected disappearance of Catharine lofik
place.
Thejcirco instances by which we were surround
ed were ol a kind to leave u* but slight hope for
Catherine*and Footaioclie The country through
which we were then trapping, was the magnifi*
cent valley of tbe Madison River, in the very cen
ter of the Blackfeel territory. We bad fought our
way thus tar, and without losing a single man, had
kilted quite a number of that paweriol and vindic
tive tribe. There was, therefore, no mercy to be
ex|»ecl*d shonld any of our party be so unfortu
nate as to fail into their hands, the more so, a-,
in addition to what we have just stated, othercir*
cumnlance* had recently transpired, which bad
aggravated their ordinary hatred to a degree of
excessive virulence. Some uf these were u«*ariy
as follows
A lew months previous to the incidents which
we have attempted to narrate, a young physician
had arr.ved from Jft. Loui», at tbe For Company's
post on the Yellow Stone. He bad brought aioag
with him some ot tbe genuine Small Pox virus.—
Being informed that the Indians in the Plains had.
at different time* suffered greatly from this loath
some scourge, and knowing their anxiety to be
freed from its ravages, he induced some principal

tbe habit of trading largely at this establishment;
—to consent to be innoculated. The consequence*,
which were probably foreseen and intended, were
disastrous in the extreme. The tnbe was cut off
by thousands. The poor wretches, wholly unac
quainted with tbe nature of the fearful malady
that smote them like a destroying angel, and look'
mg only to present relief from the intense fever
thirst and fire that was raging withm them,
sought then vers by scores and hundreds aad per.

decimation may be partially reaLxtd, when it >*
understood, that previous to this visitation, the tnbe
was supposed to number thirty thousand warrior*,
and now, aot more than ball that number was m
existence. We passed by n new lodge, surround
ed by willows, on the bank* of the Msdison,
which was literally filled with the dead bodies of
their men, women and children, all of whom had
fallen a prey to this fell disease. It stood on the
bright green sward, looking to all outward appear
ance. the habitation of living sentieot beings, but
inclosing only in its snow white fold* the ghastly
and unburied repnants of mortality, ll was said
that no only brother of the doctor had, at vome
lime or other, been murdered by Ihe.Blackfeet, —
anif this was his reveng*■ Of coarse nothing is lo
be said ur defence or extenuation of a crime so
appalling. Nevertheless, I very much question
if there was a single man in ourcsmp.who did not
consider it a justifiable, and everything considered,
even a praiseworthy mode of getting rid of a Lou
blesome enemy.
A few days subsequent lo Showena’s disappear
ance, when about to enter a narrow gorge through
which tho Madison fork of the Missouri forces its
way, leaving only sufficient space for mounted
men to pass between the river and the precipice
that frowns incumbent over its northern bank, we
found our ingress barred by a large party of Black
feet. This being the only practicable route to the
particular portion of country through which we
designed to trap, anti whose streams were con
sidered lo be more aflluent in beaver than almost
any other portion of tbe mountain regions, we bad
no alternative left, other than to turn back, or fight
cur way through iL We decided upon the latter.
The savages were about two hundred in number,
mounted on horseback, and drawn up in lino di
rectly across the mouth of the past. Our leader,
Jim Bridgor, fa celebrated character in these re
gion*,) bad at first objected to attack them, but
being strongly urged thereto, by a number of our
retain to spirits, be finally gave his consenL
Our party when all together, amounted lo about
eighty men, but there were not over fifty present,
some thirty of our best boaters having set out a
short time previous to trap on the Muscle Shell
and its tributaries.
These savage* had quite an imposing appear,
ance, with their tall, slender, symmetrical forms
entirely naked, with the exception of a slight cover
ing about -heir loins; their faces and bead* decor
ated, tbe former with red paint, and the latter with
eagles’ feathers, and their long guns with their
highly polished barrel*, on which the sun kept
‘glancing and their harses, impatient of
restraint, pranced and curvetted in the ranks.
When al the distance of about four hundred
I yards from the savages, they raised their peculiar
! yell or war whoop; at the tame time putting spars
to their horses and discharging some of their giras,
they dashed toward os at foil speed. Our horses,
which were quite as eager for the aflray as their
mazier*, -prang forward at a rapid pace, and as
we passed (ike arrows through.ihe rushing mass of
the enemy, we delivered a well directed fire that

ing the great advantage which the Blackfeet pos
“*»ed in this species of encounter —without con-
Biaenng their great superiority of numbers—from
being able, when in full career, to throw ißem
•e.ves on the tides of their horses opposite their
antagonists, in a horizontal position, so that noth*
mg but their heels are exposed to be shot ul, and
m this manner firing from nnder the neck* of their
horses with almost perfect immunity from daiger
~ yet »r® • honJ T:auceeedcd in driving them before
us. My horse having been shot onder me at the
beginning of the fight, I had nothing to do but to
observe the scene before mo. In looking over the
ground, my attention was attracted especially to
two of the combattants. One of these l recognis
ed to be Major Joe Meek, a famous hunter the
other was a very powerful looking savage.
Both appeared to be wounded, and both were rid
ing at full speed—the former in pursuit of the lat
ter, who was bending to the neck of hi* horse, and
apparently doing every thing in his power to in
crease his speed, Meek s face was covered with
blood from a ghastly wound in his forehead. He
was mounted on a fleet and powerful bay horse
that was gaining at every jomp upon his red skin
ned antagonist, who was evidently riding for life,
as be cast, from time to time, a fierce and despair
ing look behind him, as loth to fly, yet certain of
death. The Major’s rifle was clubbed, and, os he
came within striking distance, he dealt upon tbe
head of the Indian a blow so tremendous that it
hurled him to the ground g senseless mass, when
his now masierless horse dashed suddenly aside*
and continued on his course with frantic speed.—
Thtf Major, having re.ned up. rode to the place
where the savagu fay, and jumping from the sad
dle, having in the first place cleaned his eyes of tbe
blood with which hi* entire lace was covered, he
deliberately stabbed and *caft>ed him, and hoistiug
the bleeding trophy on the muzxleof hia rifle, gave
n prolonged unearthly yell oftnumpbaul vengeance
that rivalled in gusto the ruthless demonstration of
our merciless antagonist*. The Blackfeet were
now iu full flight, puraued by our men, who drove
them like a flock of sheep down a precipitous de
scent on the bank of the Madison, where it would
have been madness in follow, and dismissed them
with a parting volley that told fatally in the crowd

From tlie National Lnielligencer of Saturday
ARRIVAL OF GENERAL TAYLOR.
After n very long and tedious journey General
Taylor has finally reached the metropolis. At four
o'clock yesterday afternoon he and bis suite arrived
at tbe Relay House in an extra train from Cumber
land. At that place he was welcomed by Com
mittees of the Corporation and of tbe Rough and
Ready Club and oth-r citizen* of Washington.
Before the party left tbe Relay House, an extra
tram of oars arrived from Baltimore, and the con
course of people which there assembled, including
a large namber of the yeomanry of Maryland from
the neighborhood, could not have been less than
three thousand. The enthusiasm which prevailed
seemed unbounded; and, as the party was com
pelled to wait somewhat over an hour fur the regu
lar evening tram from Baltimore, a partial oppor
tunity was given to the multitude to congratulate
the President Elect He was ushered mto 4 lhe
parlor of the hotel, aod there welcomed by a party
of ladies.
On resnming his seat 10 the car, tbe multitude
stiil continued to press about him, when Z. Col
u*i9 Lex. Esq., stepped forward and delivered a
short speech ol welcome. The reply made by Gen.
Taylor was brief, but full ef excellent feeling, and
to the poinL He alluded to his military career, and
said that the battles attributed to his valor were
won by the bravery of the soldiers be had the honor
to command. He also alluded to the high station
to which he bad been elected by the American
People, and could not but hope that he might suc
ceed 10 allaying the asperities of party and promot
tog the best interests of his country. He intended
to do all in hi* power to benefit the America 11 Peo
ple; but ifhe should commit errors, a* henecessan
ly must, he would depend upon the magnanimity
of thewe who had placed him in ofllce to attribute
it to error of judgment and Dot to his heart This
speech, and every sentence, in fact,which the Gen
eral uttered, was received with deafening applause.
During his brief stay at the Relay House he had a
number of conversations with the people who
crowded around bun, and uttered n number of ex
ceedingly happy remarKs.
A gentleman who accompanied General Taylor
from Comberiand inform* us that his car was liter
ally waylaid by a party of miners id the vicinity of j
that place, who determined to have a single sight j
at the General. In a few remarks that he made to
(hem bo uttered the following sentiment: hefaaid
they were the men who developed tbe wealth of
the country, and added that good roads and good i
laws were ail that wo wanted, for the American!
people knew bow to take care of themselves.
General Taylor, we are happy to slate, is in the
eojoyment ol his accustomed good health, though !
he ruflera some inconvenience from the lameness '
of his right arm, which was unfortunately injur- •
ed by an accideut which happened to hirp on bis
journey.
His suite consists of the following individuals:—
Maj.RJS Garnett, U. 3. Army; Cob J T Van Alen
of New. York; Judge Winchester, of Loueiona; J,
P Benjamin, Esq., of New
ton. and daughter,ofNow Orleans; A C Bullitt, Eaq.
of New Orleans; Dr. McCormick. U. S. Army, and
lady; 061. James Taylor, of New York, and daugh
ter, Howard Chnsty, E-q ,of Kentucky, and lady;
Mi** Johnston and Miss Wickiiffe, of Kentucky.
Among the gentieraco who came from Baltimore
to meet Gen. Taylor was his brother Cot J P
Taylor and Major Dusentiury, U. S. Army.
As tbe car* (rom Baltimore were a little delayed,
General Taylor, with his party, came tnto Wash
ington after nightfall but the stars shone brightly
and the railroad track w&sjnccasioually illuminated
by bonfires ou the route. 15y bonflre* also, and the
roaring of cannon and (light of hnlliant rocket*,
was the General heralded into the city, sod the
man of human being* which blocked up tho Rail
road Depot, Pennsylvania avenue, on nis arrival,
was greater than any we have witnessed on any
former occasion. The immense multitude accom
panied the General's cortege to his lodgings at Wil
lard's Hotel, where, after n short time, be stepped
out on the balcony and returned thanks to the pro
pie for their eiUbuttu sin welcome, which were
received by Jealrnmg bursa* from tbe immense
crowd.
