The following highly important Intelligence wat communicated to ot bjf Ltent. Floyd and Mr. Williamt, oftbtftd Pennsylvania Volunteer! xht rama over in the tteamebip Galveston tbia morning. ATTACK OP GUERILLA! oit Cast. BAinaRrooi. On the 8th, a tmall reeonnoiterlng party, to getber with tome citizens and disbanded toldiert, in number about 100, with 73 armed men and JO mounted, left Fuebla for Yera Cruz. Thit patty wn under command ofCapt. Bainbridge, ef the 3d artillery. On leaving Jalapa, and getting near Cerro Gor Jo, thit party wat informed tbat it would not be prudent to go through the pan, at there were a bout 4000 Mexicans in tba chapparal along the pt. Previous to thit, the officer! who bad gone to the rear of the train were fired at from the chap, pa rat at the mouth of the past the party wis organised and marrhed through without meeting an enemy arrived at the bridge that evening Whilst they were bivouacking on the other aide of the bridge, being to fatigued tbat they were unable to furniih a guard, they were informed that tome person! were barricading the bridge. A guard was then stationed between tba bridge anj the encampment, to prevent the party being surprised. At tbit time tignat lights on the ridget and cliffs were distinctly seen. Before daylight the scouting party was sent out, and also a party to clear the bridge, which wat done without any opposition. The main body of the party then passed over the bridge, every thing appearing to be safe, all danger being past. Lieut. Williams and Mr. Fuzer were sent hack to bring on the train on the other side of the bridge. Just as tbey were entering the bridge a party of twenty-five Mexicans appeared on the bridge and fired several vollies on them. The Wagonmasfer and four others, who were pas. sing the bridge, were fired on and the whole five killed, and the wagon was captured, which, how ever, was d" no great value. After the fire had ceased, a party of lancert Appeared on the bridge, and teemed to be prepa ng to charge, but teeing tbat Capt. Bainbridge's party were preparing to receive them, wheeled their boraea and galloped off. Bainbridge pur sued bis march in good order, followed by 400 or ."00 foot lancers, who hung upon bit rear and flanks for four or five miles, but at a respectful distance. Thus hemmed in, this little party pursued itt way, until it arrived where Col. Mc intosh had encamped with his large train. The Mexicans who had attacked Bainbridge's party were the same who had compelled Col. Mcin tosh to halt and wait reinforcements. The party remained that nipht in Mcintosh's ramp, and du ring the whole time the Mexicant kept a con tinual fire on the camp, epprnaching with the greatest boldness very near to our sentinels. On the next day Capt. Bainbridge's party re sumed its marrb tn Vera Cruz, being joined by Captain Piiprru'sU. S. dragoons, who were tent bark to get their horses. The company, with its gallant captain, had behaved very handsomely at the attarkon Mcin tosh's eamp. Indeed it was generally admitted that Col. Mcintosh's rommand was saved by the gallantry of Duperu's party. Bainbridge's parly continued their march to Vera Cruz, where they arrived in safety. In the mi'an time Tnpern's party having a long return train to guard, and being threatened by a large body of lancers, halted at Santa Fe, where they were charged by a greatly superior loice, which they gallantly repulsed, killing many of the enemy and suffering no loss themselves. It was said, however, that some of our wagona were cut off, and the drivers were taken pri soners. Capt. Bnpern arrived safely in Vera Cruz, having lost three killed and three wounded. General CAnwALADER'a Battle On the day Capt. Bainbridge's party left Mclntoeh'e camp, Gen. Cadwalader had arrived with a force of eight hundred men, and two howitzers. The two commands were then joined, making a all about eixteen hundred men, with two howitzers, under command nf Gen. Cadwalader, ii nd pushed on towards the National Bridge. (Jen. C. occupied the heights commanding the bridge, from which the enemy had fired on Capt, Rainbridge' party, where he wat attacked by a trge force of the Mexicans posted on the rid ires and chapparel, and some hard fighting waa carried on tor severs! hours; the Mexieana lo sing more than one hundred mm, and Geo, Cadwalader losing tome fifteen killed, and thir ty or forty wounded. The Mexican! were repi.Ued, and the bridge VM WCCWfully patted by Gen. Cadwalader, who was on his way to Jslapa. Since the above wat written wa have learned that in Hit affair between Gen. Cadwalader and the Mexicans at the National Bridge, the com psny of L'eut. Bis key, of tba newly raised Vo! neenra, with two howjigars, charged the barri cade and twept them wJb a few chargea from in howitzer. On pasting through, however, I,i-i"enent Bit key received a heavy fire from the enemy on the ridge, which coojKnande the rud, by which ha sustains! a Jota of one killed and four wounded the lieutenant himself be in;; wounded in the leg. They aleo loat ease ral horse. The heirfhti were theo charged on the right tod kit of the road, and gallantly ctr red the enemy flying froaa before tnem in great confusion. When Gen. Cadwalader bad petted the bridg, ha tit tricked by a large party of guerilla, who kepi up a continual fire on hit men for a lone dietnnct. " At Cerro Gor do, it waa thought, from reporta of hearing A ring, that the merry had made aland in great number, though no approhensinni were enter tained fur the safety of Gen. Cad waladar't com mand, which wat moving in a bold and steady manner, the only wty to deal with the Mexi cans. Capt. Gates' company nf third dragoont btjing Kent by Gen. Cadwalader to the rear to reinforce the guards of the train, whowereat tacked by a large force of lancer, which tbey repulsed with considetable lose. There is much sicknest in Vera Cruz, but va ry little in the Cistle. 1 .. Gen. Cadwalader It h.uch praised for the energy and promptness ot h's movements to the rescue of Mcintosh, end for tlie bravery and kil! with which he eeattered the swarms of gu erillas, grown confident by the success of their previous enterprises. The c'timated loss of Col. Mcintosh's party ;t about (.4300. Tor miles the road it strewed with empty boxes and bacon tides which had been captured by the enemy. . There is a great deal nf dieeatMaetinn in tho army respecting tho command which had charge of the train. There will be a court of inquiry into the subject. . i The garrison at Jilapa. has been broken op, by order of Gen. Scott, and all the sick and go vernment stores hare been sent to Perole Cat tle, eo that thit line of communication is entire, ly clotcd. General Scott hat had a road opened from Perot elo Tuspan, from which, in future, all our -stores end men will he rent in preference to the old road. The success of the attack on Mc intosh's command has given great confidence to the guerillas, whoareewarmin? in great num. bera through the country, and attacking all our parties, large and small. It wat chiefly owing to the gnllantry of Cap. tain Bennett, the Paymaster, that the specie wa com in charge of the party were saved. He was in one ot thrm himself when the wagon waa attacked, and touch! like a tiger. There are about 1000 men encamped at Ve ra Cruz. Gen. Shields wat at Jalaps, and waa about to leave for the United States, when he received an order from Gen. Scott to join him at Puebla. There are no preparation to defend any point between Puehla and the Capital. All the odd end ends nf the army are collected in the city, about 20,000 in number, bat poorly armed and of miserable material. There waa a small pronunciamento at the city ot Mexico, which was easily put down by Gen. Bustamente. It was got up by factions of the populace party, and of Gomez Farias' party. Their cry was, down with Santa Anna, but, I he President ad interim still maintained hit power nd influence. We iiave about 6000 men at Puehla tinder the command of Worth and Quitman. Gen. Scott fill remain at Puebla until he is reinforced. Gen Bravo is in command of the army at the capital. Gen. Scott was at Pu bla at the last iccnimt. The editors of Kl Arco Iris had received date from the capital 2d ot June. S.mta Anna dad a second time sent in his resignation of the Presi dency ; Congreeshad not, however, np to that time, accepted it; he had also made a formal resignation of his office, a commander-in-chief of the army, which, like hi resignation nf the presidency, remained in abeyance, Congress not having acted upon either. Itejnn and five other Generals, whnee names are not given, have been arreated and tent to the different Statea for con finement The gallant Capt. Walker hta commenced hia work of retaliation on the guerillas. On the morning of the 8th inst. he started with hia Command from Perote, on an expedition of some distance into the interior. During the expedi tion he succeeded in capturing 19 guerillas and an Alcade. lie has employed Ihcm in cleaning the a'reeta and sinks. A letter hat been received in Vera Cruz on the 15th inst, previous to the sailing of the Gal veston, direct from the head quarters of Gen. Scott, stating that Gen. Scott had issued orders for the removal ot the Government stores from Vera Cruz to Tuzpan. This change was said lo be in part owing to the sickness in Vera Ciuz, and because communications could be more ea sily kept up between Tuxpan and Puebla than between the latter place and Vera Cruz.

The American authoritiea, however, had timely Information of the contemplated movement and tosupprrsa it. if attempted, railed out tbe troopt who lay on their arms all night.' There was then no demonstration of revolt made. On the 15th inst a party of Mezican Lancers attacked the outposts at Tampico, and drove the sentinels into tht city. The moat important part of the intelligence brought by the arrival, ia the flattering prospects of pi ace. Ctpt. Wood, of the Jat L. Day. informs lit that information had been received at Vera Cruz before the pay left,' that Genrralt Scott and Worth, with the main body of the army, had ad vanred as far as Bio Frio without opposition, and were met at that place by a deputation from tbe i-apital with proposals of peace. The exact tenor of the proposition wat not known. They were, however, of snch a nature, that Gen. Scett refused to accept them, and wat determined to push on his forces to the capital, and from the deep anxiety felt by the new Go vernment (if the term government can be applied to any party or power in Mexico) to atay the march of our forces on the Capital, it was thnncht that further concessions would be made to Gen. Scott before he took up bis line of march from Rio Frio. A LrTTta rnow Cki Worth, civiio s Ac-c-otaT oftiis Attatr or Amosoqi i. The Wanh ingnnt I'nionol Monday has the following letter from Gen Worth, riving an account nf the attack at Amoojne, in wh ch Santa Anra figured: HtAD-qrAtitss, PriBi.A, May IS, 1847. Sis . I have the honor to report, for informa tion of the general-in-chief, that the forces under my rommand, including the brigade of Major Gen. Quitman, took military possession of the city at 10 o'clock to-day. Halting, yesterday, at Amosnrjue, to wait the junction of Gen. Quit- man, (for which purpose I had shortened the marches of the lesding brigades the two previ ous dsys,) 1 found my position suddenly menaced, at 8 o'rlock, A. M , by a large body of cavalry, Tbia force approached somewhat stealthily by a road on our right unknown lo ns. A rapid ez amination, as it unmasked itself, exhibited, as uaa supposed, some 3.000, but, from accurate information obtained here, 3.000 cavalry of tbe line, unsupported either by infantry or artillery, and moving a mile on our right, and towtrd the rear, led to the cone lu ion (hat it was a rune to attract the attention in that quarter, while the real attack was to be looked for on the high road in front, or a movement on Gen. Quitman, who might have been supposed the usual dsy's march in the rear. It was presently reported that a heavy column was actually approaching on the main road. Thus it became necessary, while di rerting a portion of the force against the visible enemy, to guard our large train, reserve ammu nition, &., packed in tbe square, against the in visible. 1 be 3d artillery, with a section of Duncan's battery under the brigade commander, Col. Gar land, the 6th infantry under Major Bonneville, with Steptoe's battery, waa promptly moved, and to directed at to take the enemy in flank The bead of hia column having now reached a point opposite the centre of tba town, and die tant about half a mile, the batteries toon opened a rapid and effective fire. After tome twenty five rounds, the entire column broke without at tempting a charge or firing a shot, and hastily (led up tha tidet of the convenient hillt. Only ont company of infantry (of tha 6th) wat enabled, from distance, to deliver its fire. The broken column waa seen to reunite and resume ita march in tbe direction of Gen. Quilsnan'e approach The 3d artillery and 8tb infantry, with two sec tions of the light batteries, were put in its track when the enemy again swerved to tba left, and disappeared in the bills. Two miles distant Gen. Quitman was met by tha last named de tachment. He had already discovered the ene my, of whose proximity the firing hsd admoni shed him, and promptly taken bia order of bat tle. The discomfited enemy reached Puebla late at night, and evacuated the place at 4 in the morn ing. We took some prisoners and found a few dead. The enemy acknowledge a loss of 89 kil led and wounded.

The time is, however, apprnarhin when our nominations fur county officers will be made, which will haven tendency to stir np little excitement. As yet but a few candidates have been announced in the papers, although we understand they are as abundant as ever. For the Assembly we have beard mentioned quite number, viz : Samuel T.

Itt provitiont are of the most stringent nature, and though we have published the law in full, a re, ferenea to Itt provitiont now mty ba useful as showing the liabilities which are incurred by a violation of them. Persons who keep any apart ment for gambling purposes, or knowingly suf fer it to be used for gambling, are liable, upon ronvinction, to a fine of from SS0 to S600. Any perao exhibiting the implements of gaming, or engaged in gaming for livelihood, is liable, upon conviction, to imprisonment in tha penitentiary from one to five yea re and a fine of $.'00. Any one inviting or persuading another to visit a plaee used for gaming purposes, shall, upon con viction, be held responsible for tbe money or property lost by such persuasion or invitation, and fined from $00 to S500.

It ap pears that Uen. Worth on his wy to Puebla bad a brush with the renowned Santa Anna, who at usual, run. The affair took place at A mo to qua. Santa Anna commanded bit ctvalry, sup posed to be near 3000 in number in person. Col. Duncan gave them something like seventy round shot from hit Littery; and Major Bonne ville, with a detachment, was enabled to reach a position from which he gave tbem a severe fire of musketry. Near 70 Mexicant were killed or wounded, and the tetmpering of the rest is re presented at amusing in the extreme. Santa Anna, it it thought, wis endcivoring to get be tween tbe commsnds of Gen. Worth and Quit man, with the intention of having a brush with the latter, but, if thit wit hit intention, he wis most signally foiled. He has since published a flaming account of tha affair, as asual boasting of bit success. Geneeal Tatlob's Portrait Mr. Atwood, the artist, who repaired to the bead quarters of Gen.

The New Orleant National tayt : Upon careful examination of Gen Taylor's portrait, there will be found marked upon it all Ihe peculiaritiea wbirh, we presume, ii thephy teal, to be characteristic of Ibe mind. Tbe very high and rather nairow forehead, which in Gen. Taylor even more than in the portrait, atrongly resembles Walter Srott'a suggests the greatest facility of thought and expression.

Arista and niaGzNKRALa The following scene between Aritta and hia Generals actually took place; the description wat derived from a. gentlemen high in the confidence and esteem of '.he chief actor, but whote name we are not permitted to mention. After the battlea of the 8th and Oth May, when the Mexican army in their retreat had reached Linares, G-n. Arista aummoned Gent. Ampudit, Torrejon, Riquenn, and Ctnalet to hit qmrters, and thus addressed them . "Gentiomen I am about to resign the com mand of the Army of the North, and I have sent for yon that you may know the reasons which have influenced me. They are simply these: I cannot command the army with honor tn my self or country, as long ss it number so many coward, with hiL'h commands in its ranks. You, Anipuilia, are s Uie coward; I trusted vou with 30IKI of my best troop ; yon betrayed your Iriiet, proved recreant lo the interests of your country, and, terror .&trcken, lieii trembling and dismayed, without being within halfa lenguo of a hostile gun. Vim, Torrejon, have some reputation ss a cavalry officer ; God know how or where yoii obtained it; I amonly astonixh'd that you should have the eflYnn'ery to pr-lend to e- mi'and. Vou, Riqnena, call yourself an artillery of ficer ; yon have been consistent through lif, only in one tU'wg, your cowardice ; you are biave, like all paeeonader. when dancers are at a distance; but when the hour of battle ar rives, you are either not to be found or your ter ror renders your pretence not only utelett but injurious.

Ma Editor The lime it approaching when we should think about selecting a candidate for tha Legislature. We have beard of a goodly number of persona who have been mentioned as candidates, and tha claims of thit person tnd that person, and oftbit side and that aide of the river. Now we, who are not office huotert, think Ihe 'lo cal habitstion'of th candidate is of much less im portance thin hit ability, his honesty and integri ly. And as for the clsims of any one lo office, we look opnn it aa a humbug, at well at anti-re-publicin. Offices were made for tbe people and not for tbe benefit of officeholders, who are, or at least ought lobe, the servsots of tbe people. If tbere are any claims or rights in these matters, they belong lo tbe people, w ho have a right, and should exercise that right in selecting inch per sons wboare best calculated to promote their in terests, as well as the interestt of the public. Such a men wa think wa find in the person of ALEXANDER JORDAN, Esq., of Sunbury, tnd s be his consented to serve if nominated and elected, let every good democrat and eitiren put hit shoulder to Ibe wheal and insist npo" bis nomination. Hit election would follow of courts, and would allay all excitement and division. MiunrOui TuaaiT. DILTIMORK HAHKKT. OietorttUAmauni AataiCAa, June 39.
