New ALBANY DEMocRAT.-The Ssh number of
the Sd volume Of this paper comes to under
suspices, and such have doubt will be emf
nently profitable to the democratic party. Messrs.
BOsworth g. Norman have purchased the establish
ment from the late proprieors, Bradley & Lucas
With the new proprietors thoroughly acquant-
ed. One Of them served with us as an apprentice
and subsequently, had charge of Office as foreman
for sometime He performed his duties in both sta
tons with great fidelity, zeal and ability. The other
also has acted as our foreman for the past year. and
thoegh the station was very arduous and perplex-
ing, he performed his duties with great faithfuness
We have reason therefore to believe, that as these
young men have dealt faithfully towards rs, they
will be equally true to others So far as their me-
chanicai abilities are concerned, we know that no
better printers can be found any rhre. We will
guarantee that they will give ample satisfaction in
this respect. We are confident also that they will
sustain themselves intellectually. They have good
common sense much better quality for an editor
than genius. If il don't exhibit as many Rocers, it
bears much better fruit. They have great Industry
also, which is good substitute for if indeed it be
not better than genius. Our friends therefore in the
vicinity Of New Albany, and especially In the First
District, will do service to themselves and the De-
nocratic cause, well to these worthy young
men, by extending to them liberal and hearty sup
port. We feel sure that they will prove themselves
altogether deserving of confidence in every respect
We have written these sentences not in the ordi-
nary spirit Of eourtesy-too often the basis of
paper puifs,-but because we feel more deeply even
than speak We know what it is to start out into
the field of editorial labor with sanguine anticpa-
ions and to drain to the dregs the bitter cup which
awaits almost every youthful follower in the same
path. Would that young friends could gather the
flowers without being pierced with the thorns Such
at least is our hope and our prayer And whether it
be fulfilled or not, depends very much upon those
whom they in good faith propose to serve.

1NcIDENTs.-While the Missouri forces were ad-
vanclng upon the Mexican entertainments at Sacra-
mento tall private in one of the companies called
out to the captain to halt, and the officer supposing
that he faltering and fearful of such feeling at
so perilous moment, leaped in front and sternly
shouted '.fo,lcard.''
"Ho, Captain! hush, hist keep shady moment
said he, that's fellar peepin over the bank at us
Jest let me try my old shOotin' fixin' on him."
"For,cdrd! | say, SIR" shouted the officer again.
Well, but jest to try the thing, Captain, for il
amt right down sartin piece yet" said he; and
leveing upon the peeping Mexican, he dropped him.
" Good as wheatl" he exclaimed the old United
States fxin' talks if it had real natra luminosity
against them fellarS!"
During the fight party of one company were,
from their position, watching for chance shoots at
those who showed themselves inside the entrench-
ments; and the Mexicans appearing to have little
idea of the craftsmanship of the men opposed to
them, would expose their persons they fired their
pieces those who did so were almost certain to fall
by the fire Of the Missouri sharp shooters; and so
little did the latter consider themselves in danger
from the return fire. that they kept up fire of laugh
ter, also, at the of their shots After several
of the enemy had thus fallen, the others would place
their guns the entrenchment and FIRE at random,
with no part OF their person exposed. This musket-
ry from the enemy was almost harmless. When the
company ordered to charge upon the entrench-
ments. one of the privates was laughing SO heartily
that the tears were rolling down his checks. CON-
rade enquired-
''What ails you Sam!''
"Why, I'm tickled with sech fghtin as this says
he; "I'll ef it amt good as any turkey
shootin I've ever seed"

conclusive evidence Of a contemplated march through

On the other hand, the disarmament Of the volun-

leave Gen. Taylor with but very small force. Sew

NEW YORK, May 10, 1871.
DEAR SRs Mr.. Butler, agent of a large number
of holders Of Indiana bonds, filed in the lice Of the
Agent of State in this city, the Slh instant, the
notice required by the acts of the General Assembly,
that subscription Of 100000 had been made for
the prosecution If the Wabash g. Erie canal, pro-
vded in the laws of January 10, 1916, and January
u, 1877, arranging the Funded Debt of Indiana.
The bonds subscribed on amount. in value to 5oOo,
900, being million and half than the lowest
limit of the law requires Besides this S5,5U60 900
a very large number Of bonds belonging TO non-sab-
scribsrs ready for surrender Cn the hands OF
proper persons here,) making aggregate, up 10
this time, of not less than sir millions, 1t is thought
Well informed persons here think that at least seven
millions will be surrendered during 1S47 and that al
our outstanding bonds will follow shortly thereafter.
Certainly the beginning is most suspicious, and will
have the effect, IL is be hoped of putting TO rest
the honest fears of those who dreaded It's partial
operation on our cred tors. So far, large majority
of the subscribers, in this country, are persons who
hold few bonds (from to teD) though IN the aggre-
gate. these small sums make nearly million and
three quarters.
The election for two Trustees, on behalf OF the
subscribers. took place to-day in this city, after the
notice required by the law, and Messrs. Charles
Butler, Of New York, and Thomas III. Blake, OF
Indiana, were unanimously chosen. The vote was
full. ia haste, yours.

GHrThe credit Of the selection of the battlefield
of Buena Vista is probably due to Captain George
w. Hughes of the Typographical Engineers. In a
letter which he sent to the Union," dated March D.
he says:
!" You will remember that in one Of my papers
designated position just in advance of San Juan de
Buena Vista the true battlefield for the defence Of
Saltillo. | had previously carefully examined the
whole valley, and designated that locality to General
Wool. ought to say suggested"
The paper to which he here refers was dated Feb.
Is. After promising that the of Saltllo is of
itself ndeensible, it being commanded on three sides
by hills, he says
The true battlefield for its defence in front is just
beyond the hacienda Of San Juan de Buena Vista,
about four miles beyond the town. On this approach
is defe, occupied by the river, tile right
hand of which rises high bluff h aud on The left
is wide, deep, and almost impossible arroyo. This
pass may be completely swept by converging FIRE of
artillery, and be turned only by light Infantry on
the hand. while the other side of the ravine
lin which is running stream Of water) no troops
pass without exposing their flank to the artillery
within point blank range. To occupy the whole val.
ley would demand about 1000 men Of all arms, with
powerful batteries of field artillery and it would pro-
badly require some 1900 more to hold the town, pro-
tect the depois, and guard the passes. This force
could defend Slltillo in that direction from over
wheming numbers and superior guns

WIG TRAITORS. : Lieutenant Colonel Henry s.
Lane of Montgomery county, in address at Mata-
moras. Mexico, on the twenty-secoud of February
last holds the following language
sit does not become in my present position to
speak Of the causes which led TO the present unhappy
conflict between the United States and Mexico, nor
of the manner in which the has been conducted
it is enough for to know that we are here at the
call of our country-that we came TO defend sister
State-to protect the national honor-to avenge the
blood of our slaughtered brethren. If the character
of the is changed shall be changed hereafter,
surely not to blame for it. When our Terri
tory invaded, citizens butchered, and
try is involved in a state Of war; actual, real terrible
war; the citizen who then withhods his aid and stops
coldly to calculate the causes and chances Of that
war, whatever his professions may be, HEART
A TRAITOR"
What does the Indiana Journal say TO this Lane
is whig, yet he takes democratic ground in relati
to the war, and asserts justly, we think, that the
course pursued by the Journal, is iraitorOus.
