was captured after a bloody struggle, and acts
of cruelty were perperoted by the conquerors

The Guatamala Gazette states that more than
thousand persons were assassinated or burnt
by Gen. Malespan, without regard to the aged
or women, children and priests. While the
beseigers abandoned themselves to these excess

Leon, retired, with a few arms and the militia

The Chambeos have declared his election null,

RUNAWAY NEGRoEs-.l Battle lriM the
Whites. We learn from the Hagerstown pa
pers that on Monday morning last about three
o'clock, ten runaway negroes were discovered
passing through Smithsburg, Washington CO.
Md, on their way to Pennsylvania. They
met Mr. Adam Shank, Jr., on the road and de-
mandcd why he was out so early, and appear
ed so insolent that MIR S. started off and pro-
cured several neighbors. Upon overtaEing
them, they were commanded to halt, but being
all armed, Immediately attacked the whites,
and the latter being unarmed were at first Sc
Verely dealt with. The Hagerstown News
says Constable Flora was twice knocked down
Price had his arm nearly severed and the
bone broken by blow from tomahswk-he
also had pistol snapped in his face, which We
ny fortunately failed to 60 oh-NIcCoy had his
shoulder isocated-Lyday received a wound
in the shoulder from tomahawk-Shank was
several times ielled to the earth and the whole
party more or less injured. However, after
desperate contest, the whites succeeded in car
rying off one prisoner in an almost hopeless
condition, with two pistols and two tomahawks
which were wrested from the hands of the ne
groes. Another negro badly wounded, after
following his companlonsa mile or two upon

MISERABLE Policy The lately elected de-
mocratic Mayor of New York, preferring the
public interests to the indulgence Of mere par
ty prejudice, nominated Justice Taylor for the
office Of Superintendent of Police. Mr. Tay-
lor belonged to the American Republicans, and
his nomination for an appointment is said to
have produced Il scene of "wid uproar and
disappointment among the political friends of
the Mayor, who considered it an outrage that
q worthy citizen and excellent officer, who
presumed to exercise the right Of thinking for
himself and differing from them, should obtain
an Office under a Mayor whom they had elect
ed. The loaves and fishes were too scarce to
afford even a crumb or bone to political OPP
ponent; and so, when the nomination Of MIR.
Taylor was submitted to the Board of Assist
ants, it was rejected by vote of ID to /. 1t thus
appears, that the cords Of party are drawn so
tight, as not only to bind enemies but friends.
This is the way in which the public interests
are sacrificed to crafty party spirit and personal
cupdty.
CLEANING THE STREETS. ga Tax Payer"
lnyesterday's paper asks US, whether the law
respecting the experimenting of Streets has
uot been repealed? 1t was repealed last year
when the contract system was adopted-and
this system was repealed at the late session of
the council, and the city commissioners author
lied to employ hands to clean the streets at an
annual expense not exceeding, we believe, the
sum OF $1,000. By this ordinance no superin-
tendents, properly speaking, are to be appoint
ed, but leaders or ioremen are to be allowed
small additional sum for their labor. We know
nothing of the facts to which ga Tax Paver',
has reference, nor Of the particular operation
Of the law. We preferred the contract system
of last year, and it was passed by large vote
in the Second Branch of the Council. but re-
iected in the First; and the ordinance which
finally passed was a compromise between the
two branches, after the streets had remained
uncleaned in most parts of the city for more
than month Ifthcre has been any improper
conduct on the part of any one connected with
cleaning the streets, ga Tax Payer should
make it known to the proper authority, who
we presume, will have it corrected.
