The Mexicans had not been idle all this
time, having strongly fortified the plaza and
tine streets leading to it, looo-iioled their
houses, and made every pre- ne 5atoa for a
ifrn resistance. On the NOR ..rg Of the
10th, aboutS O'Clock, after a az sr demand
for all IL conditional SURRENDER had been
made AMI reJcc.-i, the al, OK was COM
menced ny a brisk cannonade. The A
merican forces were subsequently divided
into three different positions--the first I'M
der Col. Rails, the second under Lieut. col.
Lane, and the third under Maj Walker, Of
the Santa Fe Battalion.
The contest was maintained with great
IVigor until about 500 Mexican ~lancers had
arrived near by and were about making an
attack upon the rear. The troops were
then withdrawn, and cessation of hostili-
ties ensued, Lieut.. Col. Lane being sent to
'recunnoitre. The report of the arrival Of
dancers proved to be false, and about three
O'Clock the action was resumed, and con-
timed until about dusk, when the Ameri.
cans had succeeded in working their way
through :he house into the plaza, and the
MeXicans surrendered at discretion, after
having fought with unusual bravery all
day.
The loss on the side of tire Mexicans
was loo killed and as many wounded,
while on our side there were but five kill
ed and twenty wounded--two of whom
subsequently died. The Mexican force
was from 1900 to 1000. The officers,
forty in number, were taken prisoners,
and the whole amount Of arms and amnsani-
ton captured. There were fourteen pie
ces of artillery, some of heavy calibre,
and about two thousand stand of small
arms. On the 18th, Gen. Price started
back for chihuahua, taking with him Gov.
Trias and a portion of his prisoners, and
leaving Lieut.. col. Rails in command, to
follow as soon as practicable.
Mr.. Collins informs us that our troops

ner, and distinguished themselves by their
bravery--oficers and men. The .hexican
prisoners were all liberated on parole soon
after they arrived at Chihuhua. Squire

under an escort of Oh. company Of lst drag
oons, commanded by Captain Greer, and ar
rived at Gen. Woors headquarters on the

Influence the actions of the man, and it is
these which endear him to all who know
him well;-for those who know him best,

these which enabled the orphan boy of

almost without a friend to advise, to shape
his course amid the snares which every
where beset the path of youth, andto march
steadily forward in the road to usefulness.
We saw him eight years ago. when, a poor,
friendless orphan boy, he came from the
plough handles, by which he earned his dali

has, in connexion with other circumstances,
kept him more closely confined to his own

OUR TICKET.

With the greatest cordially we place at
the head of our editorial columns, the demo-
cratic ticket nominated by the County Con-
~vention held at Bowling Green on last Mon
day. We verify believe that it is the best
ticket which could have been presentt d for
the suffrages of the people, and that it will
command the Jealous, the enthusiastic sup
port of the whole party. The delegates 10
the convention faithfully reflected the will
of the people who sent them there, and the
result will be, that union and harmony will

at the polls in August next. We are proud
of the action of the Convention, and proud
of the ticket which they have made it our
pleasant daty 10 support. "Union, conces-
sion and harmony" prevailed in their DELHI
erations, justice governed their action, and
wisdom dictated their choice-hence the
universal satisfaction which now pervades
the whole democratic family of the County,

every face-hence too the ready concur

ly expression which lighted up the counte-
~nances Of the veteran Mase, the old war
horse of the democratic party, and the no
less firm and unwavering Robbins, as each
pledged to the other, his unremitting exer-
lions in behalf Of the successful competitor.
The success Of the party, the triumph Of
our principles seemed 20 be the only, the all
absorbing wish of all, whether delegates or
candidates for nomination. Under such
auspices we fling our banner to the breeze,
inscribed with the well known names Of
HENDERSON, OWENS and ARTHUR, with an
abiding confidence, that it will float tri.
umphantly upon the gale of popular favor.
The name of John B. Henderson, is, we
presume, known to every democrat of the
County, for though comparatively young in
years, he has long been an able and faith
full soldier in the democratic cause. He
has never hesitated, never faltered for q
moment when his principles were assailed,
but boldly marched to the rescue, when
older nerves failed, and wrinkled faces grew
pale with fear. We have known him long
even from his very boyhood and tho same
generous, high-souled determined course
has marked every action of his life. We
we'll remember the untiring energy of the
little haxen-headed orphan boy, as he Crap
pied with difficulties, which completely
overwhelmed others of better circumstan-
ces and ripper years. 1t was then, that we
noted his course, and pointed others to the

General Taylor has written still another
letter. He expresses his determination not
to withdraw his name from the candidacy
under any circumstances, even though
HENRY CLAY should be nominated to the
Presidency. He denies that he ever said he
was in favour Of the tariff of 1916, the
Sub-Treasury, or the origination of the war
with Mexico, OF that he would select his
cabinet from both parties. He re-asserts
his determination to give no pledges. He
says it has not been his intention at any

his name from tic canvass, whoever NAV
