Zen, Taylor, see ny his Official dispatches, as
signs as the motive which Influenced him in grant
ing to the Mexicans terms Of capitulaton 80 liberal,
and an armisiice ofeght weeks, his impression thai
the change in the Mexican government would be
conducive to peace. This was conviction which
our better information enables us to know was not
warranted by the facts. The whole country, there
fore, will receive with satisfaction the intimston in
Mondays Union, that dispatches had already left
Washington for the generals camp, nstructing him
TO terminate the armistice forthwih-thus enabling
him to have all the benefit, and none of the injury,
which could result from il.
The "Courier" ofthis morning 6s beyond two of
It's capacious columns with an elaborate attack upon
the wing candidate for governor. The colonel
opens his assault by giving copy Of his civil note
inteuogating Mr.. Young to his reported
ntrentsm, Of which, he says bitterly, "Mr John
Young" never took any notice, although the note
pordsd the most liberal manner so as 10 enable
him TO ans,Osr u ,ohO giUing offence TO the aa-re''t
rs. Mr.. Y.'s course in the legislature is then re-
viewed in detail vote by vote, and speech by speech,
and the conclusion is arrived at that he is either ian
open and avowed anti renter--an agrarian--a radi-
cal legislator, ready and willing to abrogate vest
ed rights" or ga dsnnagOgue, who, to secure 10
himself the support Of set of men who have open
ly repudsled the most solemn contracts, and reck-
lessly committed DELIBERATE MURDER in
resistance Of the laws, has voted in the Legislature
contrary his convictions Of right, and in violation
OF the constitution"
The capitals are the Courier's, The effect Of this
fierce onslaught remains to be seen.
The papers contain the details Of another outrage
by the ant-renters, a sheriff in the execution OF
his duty. These are the cool ciuzens with whom
the exclusive law-and-order conservatism Of our
State now cordially fraternzes.
0ne of the ieroest storms Of wind and rain
we have had here for some years burst upon US
yesterday afternoon, and continued, with very lit
tie ntermission, until far into next morning. Day
light showed the city in a desolate plght-sgns,
ehimney-tops, aud shutters, wood or iron, blown
down. awnings hanging sullenly in rags and ribands,
boxes and barrels topsy-turyy in the middle of the
streets, pigs wandering uneasily about in quest of
the accustomed garbage swept away by the floods
of rain all public squares and places dismanted
of half their gores fine trees torn up by the roots,
numbering the walks, others Topped ofsheir largest

stately spre clear shorn of it, or barely holding to

Of the injuries done by the storm-one life lost
of man killed by the falling of an iron
window shutter on him. The shipping suf-
fered grievousy. Vessels without number, Of
every class, parted hawsers, dragged anchors rush

and all suffered more less damage in their upper
works. spars, and rigging; steamboats, we're forced
to keep their docks, or ventured out with loss OF
smoke-pipes or paddles; and some six or dozen
small craft we're sunk at the wharf The effects along
waits with halfbreathless anxiety to hear the
worst tidings.
One effect ofthe storm was to deraDge entirely the
working Of the telegraphic lines, that we a

north and south. The boats from the east, too,
have failed to arrive, unless one, the Worcester,
