GEoRGIA-The election in this State takes
place in October next. The democratic presses
are sanguine of success. The wings are divided
Not only have many of the Taylor democrats de.
serted the flag, but the federal wings are divided
among the mseves in relation to the Wilmot Pro-
vlso. The Macon Messenger says frankly:
&C We have no such cheering accounts to give
TO our whig friends; but, on the contrary, we feel
humlllated in making the acknowledgment, that
from present prospects, shall be shamefully
beaten. Information received from various Sec
tons of the State leaves doubt of the distracted
disorganized condition Of the whig party. We
may be charged with imprudence in making this
disclosure, bat candor requires it, As sen.inels of
the whig party, il is our duty to warn them of the
danger to which they are exposed and we now
tell them, that unless their divisions are hea led
inevitable defeat awaits them."
The Augusta Republican. another whig paper,
ayers that the southern wings have decidedly lost
ground in attempting to proptiate the wings Of the
North, and adds
:" Is there whig leader or whig editor in the
South who fears that General TAYLOR would SIGN
the Wmot Proviso If there be one, il is his
duty to tell him the truth-to tell him that the day
he does sign it, he will sink himself to q depth of
lnfamy IN the South far lower than all his illus.
trious services ever elevated him to fame. If &C.
neral Taylor were TO sign it. and the whig party
OF the South were to commit the folly of sus
tanning him in it, a deeper damnation never buried
any people in more hopeless political perdition
than it would plunge them.''
But who doubts, after the revelations which Ge
neral Taylor has made Of his own course during
his late tour, that he is determined to sign The VIII

An express from Santa Fe and Los Vegas ar.

ION OF August. On the latter day forty Apache
Indians attacked Captain Judd's forces at Los We.
gas, and we're repuIsed, loosng all but ten war;
riors. These Indians were recognized as having
committed various depredations, and violated trea.
ties. AT the first fire the Indians retreated and
were pursued through the open country eight or
ten miles, Six prisoners taken. The enc.
my were well mounted, and the fight was hand to
hand. Lieut.. Burnsides sergeant Ambrose, and
private Meader were wounded
