GA yarn about ''Gen. Taylor and the Indian
ians'' at Buena Vista, is given by the Cincinnati
Sunday News, the authority of 'sDr. E. X. Cham
berlan, who heard the story told by somebody else.
The object of it is to give Taylor puff at the ex:
pense of volunteers and surprised to see e
yarn copied into of the Indiana papers, without
comment, merely because it sotens the ISLANDERS which
have been uttered against those brave men. TIE
writer of the yarn says-"an officer of the regular
army informs me that speech from Gen. Taylor
brought 800 400 of them the field, who for me
balance Of the fight behaued treH - and he reports
this notable speech thus
''Men, soldiers, fellow-countrymen," said he, s'I
fought for you and our country before you were
b-bo-born. | fought for you when you were b-bo-
boys- l have fought for you since you were m-me-
men-now want you to fight little for m-m-me.
Will you dido it," ,sH0zza for old lack turn
out to the death for old Zack.' was shouted by
more than 200, who formed under an officer and
fought bfavey. After this the old Generals under
lip feet" and he looked better natured the
balance of the day.
The editor Of the Sunday News says he is 'sure'
this 'anecdote' is ..perfectly authentic" Never
theess zee are sure ii is pure hu'nbug All the Off
cal reports of the battle dscredit it, and so do the
findings of the courts of inquiry, and all other
authentic statements concerning the affair.
For instance, Gen. Lane, who the immediate
commander of the brigade, makes this official state
ment relative to the I'd regiment, the truth of which
has not been questioned and will not be-
alt. Col. MADDEN of the I'd regiment Of my COM
mand aided in ralying his regiment after they had
retired, and he in person marched party of them
back towards the enemy, with whom he Immediately
became engaged, and fortunately repulsed them with
considerable loss in another part of the field he
ceeded in killing officer of the enemy with his own
hand, by sending rifle ball through him at great
distance. | was also much indebted to Major Moon
ey, Quartermaster, Major Dix, Paymaster, the gallant
and lamented Capt. Lincoln, of General Woo's staff,
and Lieut. Robinson, for their assistance in rally
ing the forces after they had retired from their posi-
ton"
This is the truth of the matter, and it shows that
the speech attributed to Gen. Taylor is mere oadysm
and clap-trap.
Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1847-06-17

The State Sentinel declares that Gen. Taylor is a
democrat, so does the Vincennes Sum- and the JEFF
fersonian the Spirit of the Valley, the Dayton En-
pire, the Fleming Flag, the Indiana Register and in
deed almost every democratic paper we look at.
These papers must surely be advised of what they
doing-they certainly cannot plead ignorance. Yet
there is not in opinion, solitary paper amongst
them that will support Gen. Taylor !-Cam6ridge
ReUieHe.
O5-The State Sentinel we think has not declared
Gen. Taylor to be Democrat, above asserted. Our
opinion is that he occupiesa somewhat neutral equiv
ocal political position 1t is highly probable however,
that he is not thorough-gong wing, but that he ia
vors in some degree the Democratic party. HeTOun
like to be President, doubt and for that he
will be somewhat cog in his intercourse with wing
politicians and office hunters AS to supporting him,
we shall not do it while he is in the field the
chero wings do. That plan of seeking for Presidents
is too much after the Mexican fashion to suit our
taste And neither shall we do ii after he leaves the
field until we are better satisfied to the policy he
would pursue. We don't seek candidate for the
chief mogstracy merely in the hope of getting the
'ssine,cs" which he may have to bestow. We have,
or think we have, a higher end in view. We there
fore care less for men than for principles and mea-
sures, and shall endeavor to act accordingly.

MEssRs. CHAPMANsS5 SPANN-Gent:-I have taken
from the New York Tribune, of May 29th last, the
remarks made by the Rev.. II. w. Beecber of this
city, at meeting recently held in Boston for the pro-
Heiionof female education in the West--which, if
mistake not, will be read with marked attention and
dstogishent by the citizens Of indianapolis, Green-
'ctstie,c Charlottesville, Madison, and many other
places in Indiana. Look at the EXTRACT; -. !.
"LADTEs' SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING EDUCATION Is
THE EsT,-The first auDiversakY of this institution
was held Thursday forenoon, Pafke Street Church.
A clergyman from Indiana, whose name we did not
learn, Rev. II, w. BeecAes,l stated that in Ohio
therewere some excellent female Instructors, but
Indiana there ,pas net one good female school 70 be
found. There wasno system, no organized corps Of
teachers II was true that in Indianap polls there we're
two female seminaries, which merely local, to
Accommodate the people in that rciuiiy, and there
was similar enesin Charlottesville, and in Mad
Methodists, or Baptsts, or EpscopaIians. The Ca
tholics, however, had their seminaries (*female of
course) in Indianapolis" -
Il have interlined at this point to bring out the
evident meaning of the speaker. as the subject was
exclusively female education andhave talcised such
other portions as are peculiarly striking.
My object in thus presenting the Reverend gentle
mans declarations is simply to LET the public and
particularly those who are deeply interested in the
character of our Institutions for the education Of Sc
males, have view of the very strong, and extremely
liberal manner in which they have been held up TO
the good people in the Eastby one whose statements
from his position and residence would very naturally
be received with the most implicit confidence.
As act of justice to the Indianapolis Female In
stitute, and to ST. Marys Seminary of this city, the
former having been in successful operation during
period of about ten years. may ask your indulgence
to give, in future number, the statistics of those in
sttutons; from which tie public will be able to see
whether they srnefey local - and for the accom-
mediation of the 'people oftiiis vicinity" To their
high character femae Schools the citizens of
indianapolis, and the many who in various parts of
the State have felt their influence, will bear willing
| testimony. A CITIZEN.

THoMAs CoRwIN BURNT IN EFFIGY AT BUENA VIs-
TA.-The army correspondent of the New Orleans
Della, writing from Buena Vista, under date Of April
10Th, has the following:
By the way, the honorable Thomas Corwin was
burnt in eigy by % large and respectable
ton of the boys, fcwmghts since, with very strong
and unequivocal symptoms Of disapprobation. A
great many prayers. intended for the honorable Senas
tors benefit, were put up the occasion. We are
sorry be compelled to remark, that their peculiar
character is hit off in popular little tract entitled
q The Swearer's Prayer"
Tom may tank his stars that he was not there in
person ;-as be might have found hiuref dressed up
in Regimentals, very little to his liking.
This ought to furnish earning to our Mexican
wing editors.

FAMINE IN MARYLAND-We are likely to have &C.
cason for the exercise of sympathies and charity
at home In several parts of what is termed the
Eastern shore of Maryland, great suffering prevails
for the want Of the necessaries of life. The Balti
more Sun Of Saturday, says:
'The scarcity is said to be so great that food can
hardly be obtained at any price, and many among
the poor and destitute almost reduced stafva-
ton. In another part of the paper will be found some
extracts from letter from South River, appealing
our citizens for relief, and stating facts of daily
currence in that vicinity There hundreds Of our
citizens who originally from that section of the
State, and we have doubt that they will set the
ball cheerfuy and promptly in motion to raise funds
for their relief The matter is serious one,
and procrastination may prove fatal
As an evidence of the suffering in Charles county,
we extract the following from endorsement on the
letter bill from Mr.. John Spalding Postmaster at
Pleasant Hill:
Pleasant HILL May 26th.
Many here begging from door to door, from the
surrounding country. There is no corn to be had at
any price. Respectfully, JOHN SPALD1NG, P. M.
O'clock, A. M.-No less than six persons have
been here begging for meal or corn. Cannot some of
your rich citizens give little to their suffering
native citizens instead of sending much to for
eign laadl Hard times here.

0|5rIn the "Picket Guard of May 3; the Ameri-
can paper published at Saltllo-a copy of which we
have before US, we find the following paragraph.
Wonder if the Journal will not declare that this is
another of oar assaults upon Gen. Taylorl
6rAmong the many wild statements in the New
Orleans papers in reference to the battle here
the following in the Picayune:
seen. Wool advanced with strong detachment
against the Mexican cavalry, but was driven back
with much immense loss. The Mexican cavalry
charged upon him with drawn swords, and did great
execution. As Wool fen back Gen. Taylor dduanced
ieih fresh troops and repeed The Meicans 10Th great
slaughter! This charge decided the battle, which
was not again renewed"
The italics the editors, who lays stress upon
the fact that Gen. Taylor ayerted calamity which
he infers lad been brought by the acknowledgement
Of Gen. WOOL. AN udge-nonsense--not word of
truth in it. Gen. w. made charge in which he
was repulsed with great slaughter. and Gen. Taylor
we believe personally led man to.the charge
during the engagement The fighting commenced at
about on the morning of the ed. Gen. T. got on
the field about g. and took position the centre,
from which he could overlook the whole field, where
he remained nearly all day, though more than once
in reach of even the enemy's musxetry. Gen. w.
was the executive officer, so TO speak, every where
the field experimenting and directing all their move
ments and orders wore carried from Gen. L. to him
So far as test of courage, energy, and prompt de-
csion are concerned, Gen. w. could not have had q
more favorable post. - I.

Grant Thorburn says that his wife has lost but one
silver spoon since they have kept house. This veneer
able gentleman says:
81 now have silver teaspoon in my house, and in
daily use which | bought forty-fve years ago, and
tablespoons bought thirty years ago-but my wife
always counted them when they went into the kitchen
had them brought up and put into her hands-thps
have lost only one teaspoon since we commenced
housekeeping.-N. Y. Express
O1FAll the newspapers copy the above as eyincing
something commendable, we suppose In our opin-
ion, Grant Thorburn is an old saphead, and his 'bet-
ter-half" cannot be much better. What an occupa-
ton for an honest, sensible woman, to be always
counting her spoonst What miserable and suspi-
cious disposition does it not develop, and how hardly
must il have manifested itself on all occasions To-
wards those unfortunate enough to be placed under
its operation. Who would want servant that could
not be trusted with the care of spoon Who would
desire to serve mistress so suspicious of their in.
tegrity! Won venture TO say that the lady not only
counted her spoons, but put her sugar. tea and pre-
serves under lock and key, for fear they would be
s.prigged" by the .sheIp. We'd rather lose spoon
every week. and finally go without any, than have
such wife,

Masonic HALL.-We understand that the Grand
Lodge and the Grand Chapter of the Masonic order,
at their recent session. determined upon the purchase
of two valuable lots, and the erection of Grand Hail.
in this city, The lots face Washington, Maryland
and Tennessee streets, and Kentucky Avenue; and
the location is favorable, for the price, than
could any where else be found in town. 1t is good
investment as mere speculation. The building is
to be erected the stock plan 10 be subscribed for
by lodges and individuals. II is to be on the corner
east of the Treasury Office, about 100 feet deep,
stories and basement high, stores ground floor,
large public hall in second story, (needed more than
any thing else in this city, and lodge in third
story If all this shall be done in the right style, it
will be as profitable as it will be honorable to the
venerable brotherhood of the mystic tie.''

THE ODD FELLows.-We understand that it is the
intention of this Order TO have public procession
and other services the 18th Of July, during the
session of the Grand Lodge, at Indianapolis. The
Hon. E. A. HANNEGAN, U. S. Senator, will be the
orator of the day. We fear that they will have to
meet out of doors, for there is building large
enough to accommodate all who will crowd to listen
this very eloquent and distinguished speaker. For
the sake of the ladies, however, hope they Will be
able to crowd into some church.

OFThe State Journal announces and approves c.
the appointment of N. B. Palmer, Esq, of this city,
Canal Trustee the part of the State As if this
approval was too great display of liberaity how
the Journal INDUCES in uncalled for at
