Murder at Lexington.
The Lexington (Ky.) Observer gives
an account of the murder of Mr. Alex-
T. Hays, of that city, on the night of the
16th ult. His mangled body was found
by the roadside, in the suburbs of the
city, on the morning of the 17th, and,
upon investigation by the coroner,it was
found that he had received some eighty
six distinct wounds with a knife, and a
pistol shot through the head, the ball
entering near the temple, and coming out
at the back of his head. There was not
a vital part about him that was not most
shockingly perforated.
Mr. H. was about fifty years of age—
is spoken of as one of the most peacea
ble and inoffensive men in the commu
nity. The murderer loft no traces by
which he can yet be discovered. The
citizens of Lexington held a public meet
ing for the purpose of taking steps to
ferret out the author of the bloody deed;
and the City Councils have directed the
Mayor to offer a reward of $250, for the
apprehension of the murderer.
Mr. Hays was a printer, and some ten
or twelve years ago, was concerned in
the publication of the "Urbana Record,"
Ohio.
CAPTURE OF A MEEICAN BRIG OF WAR.-
From a letter published in the city of
Mexico, it appears that the Mexican brig
of War Malek-Adhel, was captured in
the port of Mazatlan, by one of our ves
sels, supposed to be the sloop of war
Warren. The Warren, being outside,
dispatched five launches, well armed, to
capture the Mexican, then at anchor in
the bay. The officers and crew on board
the brig, unprepared for an attack, took
to their boats in great confusion, on the
appearance of the Americans. Two offi
cers, named Zoregn, and Chillio, and
several sailors, were taken prisoners.—
The moment the Yankees found them
selves masters of the vessel, they cut
her cables, and made sail for the frigate.
COL. HARNEY.—This officer, we learn
from the Colorado Herald, was ordered
back to San Antonia from the Presidio
de la Grande, by General Taylor, in
consequence of a dispute concerning
precedence in rank, which he had with
some of the volunteer officers, and not,
as has been reported, because he had
disobeyed orders.
GENERAL PAREDES.—On the arrival of
this functionary at Havana, he was ask
ed if he would not like to take passage
for the United States. He replied that
he would do so, wore it not for the fear
he had that the Americans would shoot
him.
How a Vnetory Hurts the Farmer.
The Free Trade friends of the farmer
are ever telling him how much he would
be improved Were the factories stopped
and he allowed to buy where he can buy
the cheapest. We have at least some
figures to preseht upon this subject which
are They relate t o e Duchess
County, a county that since 1814 has had
within its limits a " factopy," that griev
ous
thing for a farmer. • The facts we
obtain from Hunt's Mligatitis, but the
arrangement is our owl . i
First let us see the e ect ilf Cdctories
at Fishkill, in reducing (he Oalefr:of the
tcwn. The Matteawan Tactoryt!dn_ the
creek, in 1840, employe 300 persons,
who consumed, the prod c.e of tlie far
mers, and paid in taxes from 'lB2B, to
1844, (sixteen years) $13,029 1, or an,
average of $2OOO per reitr, or the ainount
paid by 35 farms of 100 acrea,.. which
$2,000 is just so much money'gfrii to
the support of the town, withotir taking
anything from the means of the farmer.
The same company, in 1843, bought of
the agricultural produce of the county,
$74,684 85, and of the produce of oth er
domestic industry out of the county:—
$120,376, or $195,060 85 worth of adj.
cultural products, or manufactured lir ; '
tides, that in their production gave s i iiii-:
port to agriculture in other parts of Vie'
country. Now we should like to (100
a " free trader" tell us how much Aore
the farmers would have got for .this
$74,684 85 worth of produce, until:llov
much better oft' the farmers would have
been, had the company not paid -a tax
equal to that levied on 35 farms OfAone
hundred acres each. After they-{have
figured out the loss sustained by having
one factory among them, we wig' dive
them another instance.—.A'ew Yo 4 ..Ex

cific, in a state of blockade, and estab
lished himself Governor of California.
The following is his proclamation
To all whom it may concern :—I, R. F.
Stockton, Commodore and Commander
in-Chief of the United States Naval
forces in the Pacific Ocean, and Gover
nor and Commander-in-Chief of the
Territory of California, do, by the au
thority of the President and Congress of
the United States of America, hereby
declare all the ports, harbors, bays, out
lets and inlets on the West Coast of Mex

of vigorous blockade, which will be
made absolute except against armed ves
sels of neutral nations.
All neutral merchant vessels found in
any of the bays and harbors on said

mander-in-chief of the Territory of Cal
ifornia.

Great Storm and Destruction of Property.
By the Telegraphic news from Balti
more, to the U. S. Gazette, we learn
that there has been a most terrible gale
nt Key West, commencing on the mor
ning of the 11th ultimo.
Every dwelling house, save five or six,
at Key West,were destroyed or unroofed,
the Custom House was blown down, the
Marine Hospital unroofed, and it is sup
posed,government property was destroy
ed to the amount of $300,000. Taffe's
wharves disappeared, and the salt works
were destroyed.
In this gale, the U. S. Revenue Cutter
Harris, was lost, and the U. S. Brig
Perry wrecked ; fifty lives are also re
ported to have been lost. The destruc
tion has been immense.
MELANCHOLY.-Lt. Price who left Ca
margo, with two other volunteers, about
two weeks since, to join Gen. Taylor in
his advance to Monterey, was killed on
the road by the Mexicans. Their bodies
were found lying in the grass, complete
ly riddled with bullet holes. The bodies
of SEVENTEEN MEXICAN soldiers
were lying scattered around them—so
that they sold their lives dear. He and
his two companions were armed with
revolving pistols, so that it is supposed
they must have killed the seventeen Mex
icans in a most desperate encounter.
THANKS TO OUR KEYSTONE WHIGS.-
There was a large meeting of the Whigs
of New York city on Tuesday evening
the 27th ultimo, at which the following
resolution was adopted :
RESOLVED, That the Whigs of the city
of New York tender the homage of their
hearts to the Whigs of MARYLAND, PENN
SYLVANIA, FLOEIDA, and OHIO, whose re
cent and glorious achievements are wor
thy of the best days of the Republic, and
have sent dismay into the ranks of the
adversary.
GEN. SCOTT.-A Washington letter in
the New York Herald says—
.‘ We learn from an officer of the ar
my, that Gen. Scott, a few days ago, ap
plied to the President for the privilege
of heading the army of invasion tinder
the new plait of operations with the land
forces ; but that the Executive declined
his application on theground that the
services of the Major-General-in -Chief
would be as advantageous to the Gov
erntnent at the War office as at the head
of the army.
THE VICTORY AT MONTEREY.—The
Cincinnati Enquirer says, "The Whigs
have carried Ohio, but the Democrats
Monterey." The Louisville Journal
says,." Now Gen. Taylor & Gen. Worth,
the prominent heroes of Monterey, are
both sterling Whigs, and we have no
doubt, that, if a political vote were taken
in Taylor's army, the Locofocos would
make quite as poor a show as they have
done in Ohio.
O ?,- Robert C. McKillip tried at the
last Court in Blair county, on a charge
of manslaughter, was acquitted.
DR.WISTAR'S GREAT DISCOVERY.
It was once said—" There is nothing
new under the sun." This has been
emphatically true ; .inreference to medi
cine. Hundreds of 'Pills, Panaceas, Ex
pectorants and Specifics of all sorts have
peen pulled into notoriety—all made,
mainly of the same ingredients, adding
no new materials to the "healing art.
But Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cher
ry furnishes a new medical agent—a new
principle evolved from Nature's own De
pository. It cures Asthma, Incipient
Consumptions, Liver Complaint, and all
diseases of the Lungs, when nothing else
will. An honorable member of the Ca
nadian Parliament writes that it cured
him of Asthma of ten years' standing.
A. Williams ' Attorney at Law, 58
liam street, New York, has been cured
of the same disease of 24 , years' stand
ing M .
r. Cozens of New Jersey, makes
af
fidavit that it cured him of a supposed
consumption, after his physicians had
given him up to die—and so with hun
dreds of others.
ID.- Remember, we positively, in no
case, palm off unreal cures, as produced
by this invaluable remedy.
The genuine Wistar's Balsam is sold
only at Reed & Son's store.
