was otherwise injured, but it is thought moi
dangerously. Several others Of the com

two women and a child were killed instant

= The democratic meeting in Bowling

committee in each township, whose business
it shall be TO get up a thorough organiza-
tiOn in their respective townships. \ cen
trail corresponding committee will be APP
pointed at the meeting TO be held in Bow
ling-Grecn OH the LIST Monday in Nuvem-
Der next. In the meantime we trust that
the different committees will be active in
their respective townships; and cndcavor
to form township associations for the dis
CuSsion of democratic measures and rinci-
pies. 1t is important that each township
should be thoroughly organized, as the duty
will devolve upon them of selecting dele
gates TO a county convention for the NOM
ination of candidates for county offices al
the next August election. The delegates
10 the State and District Conventions will be
selected by the democrats of the county in
mass meeting, in November next, but it
seems TO be the wish of the party generally,
that the candidates for county Offices should
be nominated by township meetings, to be
held Oh some day thereafter. 1t is expect.
ed that the committees will be active, and
endcavOr to bring out the democrats of
their respective townships TO the meeting
for the nomination Of delegates to the State
and District conventions, in order that the
wishes Of the whole county may be fully
known and expressed. The election mex,
August will be of vast Importance 70 the
democrats of this county, as it will thor
oughly test the strength of parties. Let us
then prepare for the contest. We have TO
clecta Representative and Sheriff {. the
next election; and we must prepare to elect
them on the question:, if We would elect
them at all.

they are not in such a shape as to gain
much credence: Major LALLY's train en-
countered the enemy at Cerro Gordo, and
was compelled to send to Jalapa for REIN

warded to his assistance. The guerrillas
and citizens then attacked Jalapa, the re-
suit unknown. Nothing had been heard
from Capt. Besancou's company. The
gucrrillas had taken possession of Alvara-
do and Tlucotapan, numbering all the
whites. A French man-of-war lying off The
bar, was heard firing during the night,
probably on the town. On the 18th or 18th,

cred the strongest Taylor paper in the north,
Hear what tsays since the appearance Of
Gen. Taylor's recently published letters
1t now evinces a disposition to take anoth-
er shute very clearly. There are but one
or two Taylor Wing papers left in the
State:
awe remarked some months since, that
if Gen. Taylor's life was spared he would
be the next President of the United States.
This remark was coupled with another,
which predicateG the Generals election
upon a spontaneous movement of the peo-
plea movement which could neither be
helped nor Kindred by parties or politicians.
"But we did not ~foresee, nor %apprehend,
when this prediction was hazardcd, that
Gen. Taylor would have his attention turn
ed TO Presidential letter writing. We were
sure that his enemies, if he has them, could
not defeat him. lie was sure and safe if
he continued to keep his eye to the front,
without looking towards, or if possible.
without thinking of, the White House. But
it cannot be denied that General Taylor's
Presidential letters are putting a new face
upon things. He is certainly not as strong
as he was; and we are not now prepared to
say that the old veteran may not write the
people into some serious doubts as to his
fitness for President"
