in fact no authentic intelligence has yet

that Gen. Taylor has obtained leave of
absence for six months and that he will
be at home about the 1st of December.
The New Orleans papers say that they
are anxiously awaiting for an account of
Col. Child's encounter, at Puebla, the re-
ports hitherto having been all from Mex

We have culled all the principal fea-

Murder at shnrpsyiIIe. Ky.

The following particulars, we copy
from the Maysville Eagle. We under
stand that Mr.. Robinson formerly taught
school in this county, part of the time in
Greenfield Township, part in Rushville.
We have seen late notice of the affair,
in which it is said that young Ashby was
with his father, ready to be delivered up
when call for by the officers Of the law.
The fatLer states that Robinson was "a.
vorile of his family, was residing with
him at the time Of the murder, and his
death has caused both him and his family

The triumph in New York is complete,
is gratifying The Wings will have a
bout to ! in the House aud about the
same ratio inthe Senate. All the Wing
Candidates for State Offices are elected
by overwhelming majorities. We have
not yet received the full returns. The
Senate is elected for two which
will ost likely secure Wing U. S. Sem
ator in place of Mr.. Dix, whose term ex-
pires in l849.
We do not claim this as Wing victo-
ry, purely so; though had the other par
ty been united, the Wings would have
carried the State. But it is triumph
of principle-of Peace and Freedom
over War and Slavery. These issues
were fairly presented to the voters of the
State, and they as fairly decided aga;ns

What we have Saved.

The triumph of the Wings, in the last
State election; is important in many re-
Spects; but the most gratifying, and at
the same time the most advantageous re-
suit to the welfare of the party and with
it of the State, is the power, which the
Wings will have, of apportioning the
State. We were told by distinguished
and leading Locofoco of this place some
time since and he repeated the remark
upon election day, that IF the LocofocoS
obtained The po,0er in The Legislature, they
would so district The State that The Wigs
could not get The Legislature for the nert
thirty years. And he also said that this
was the understanding among the Loco.
foco leaders of the State. He is one,
who is strong pariizan and who gener-
ally confesses his intentions honestly.
Had the Locofocos gained the ascen,
dency, it was to be expected that an un'
fair apporlionment would have been
made; but few Wings however had an
idea that their opponents would have
been SO unscrupulous in their acts as tc
pile county upon county, from any and
every part of the State, if need be, to Sc
cure such an advantage that the Wings
would have no possible chance of over
coming it. Yet this Locofoco said a,
much and in terms, too, as strong as the
most invetera,e lover of adjectives coulG
wish.
Well may the Wing party rejoice tha
it has saved itselffrom ruin and it's State
from bankruptcy and reputation,

The Late Election.

Itis amusing to hear the different rea-
sons assigned, by the Locofoco papers,
for their recent defeat in this State. The
Cincinnati Enquirer accounts for it on
the ground that so many Locofocos have
gone to Mexico. We can see no mate
rial thinning of their ranks, in this coun,
ty, from this cause. But Of all the rea.
sons assigned, give us this one from the
Wayne County Democrat:
Returns from the whole State have not yet
been received but there is sufficient to know thai
the Mexican Wings will have majority of on
joint ballot in the next Legislature. The fraud
and rascalty Of previous wbig Legislatures in cut
ting up counties and gerrymanderng districts has
secured them this, for the popular vote OF the
State is now in favor of the Democrats"
A majority ofMexicans elected to the
Legislature; and this owing to the cause
assigned-Whig Legislatures having dis
tricted the State.
Our neighbor treats the matter more
philosophically and simply gives us the
result We rather guess the true reason
is the same as ours in this county--wt
didn't poll votes enough to beat them.

The Hamilton btelligeacer goes in for
dividing and uniting counties SO as to
make single districts to be represented by
one member only. In the districting of
the State, this may require little more
labor but it seems to us that it would be
the best and faireSt mode of having the
people equally represented in the Legis-
lature. We second the move.

The Indian Department.

A few weeks since, we published an
extract from the ST, Louis Republican,
charging upon the head of the Indian
Bureau. Col. Medill, the late dsaffec-
tions among some of the Indian Tribes
upon our Western frontier. The St.
Louis Union gives another version of the
matter:
"The last Congress passed law, requiring an.
nuties TO be paid hereafter TO the heads Of inmi-
lies, instead OF Chiefs, in order TO save the Indi.
ans from imposition, When the annuity was
put into the hands of the Agent for the Sacs and
Foxes, he was directed to take the money TO his
agency, but not to pay it out until he received the
Instructions to be forwarded to him in few days.
lie left here on the Sd ult,, and the instructions
were sent on the 9th. They must have reached
him. or should have reached him, in due course
OF the mail on the 18th. On the 25th, however,
he paid out the annuities 10 the Chiefs, having
previously allowed claims against the tribe -
This was in violation Of his instructions and the
law. 1t may have been that the claimants melted
the Indians 10 become clunorous, but the gents
duty was plan He paid OIL claimants and gave
the balance to the Chiefs, in direct opposition to
the law and his instructions, and then resigned.
The consequence is, tnat the Indians have been
deprived of the money belonging to them, per
capita, and the intention of Congress and the
Department thwarted, The design wns to pre-.
vent the Chiefs aud traders from using up the
funds belonging to the whole tribe, and leaving
the families 10 suffer-"
This does not, in our opinion, free tho
department from all blame. 1t may be,
however, that it is innocent. We see no
reason why the agent should pay out funds,
contrary to law, and then resign his post.
He must have had some difiiculty--the
instructions might have been delayed
from some cause-to make the most oil
it, if the department is innocent, we see
nothing that could lay the blame upon
the agent.
