From the Baltimore American.

The Old Defender spirited campaign
paper recently started ip this city, has the
following article in its last Saturdays issue !:
Gen. Pierce's Gallantry.
Mr.. EDITOR Having heard it reported in
Baltimore that personal indignity of the
grossest character was inflicted upon Gen.
Franklin Pierce, over a game of cards. in
the city of Mexico, after its capture by our
troops, which insult was never resented,
write this to enquire whether you have any
information upon the subject, and if so, to
ask the favor Of you to explain the nature of
the indignity, and the authority from which
the report has originated. j. r. B.
Baltimore, September Sd, 1852.
We have no hesitation in answering the
enquiry of our correspondent. For the last
two weeks, the report to which he alludes, has
been current in our city We have taken
some pains to inform ourselves of its truth,
and have not the slightest doubt of the cor
rectness Of the answer, which we now give to
the above query:
B@y@ On the night before Gen. Pierce left
the city of Mexico, his face was slapped, by
a brother officer, at game Of cards, played
in place of public resOrt-which Insult was
not resented by HIM"
The authority for this statement is Cap
tain in the United States Army Of the high
est personal character, who served with dis
tlnctlon in the battles near the city Of Mexico
who up to this time, has ever been q decided
demOcrat-and whose brother and father now
hold distinguished positions in the Democrat
ic party.
The Captain alluded TO, is Il resident Of
this city, but will not vote for Franklin Pierce
If any Democratic journal will deny the
truth Of the above statement, proof can he
found to remove the doubts Of the most in
credulous.
If any friend Of Gen. Pierce thinks this
charge partakes of personal nature, and is
therefore not properly in the canvass, we will
ask him which party commenced personal
tiles in the campaign, by publishing anew a
garbled statement of the private quarrel be-
tween Gems. jackson and Scott?

ACILITY.-An astonishing feat was per-
formed in Jersey City, on Friday, by a man
we'll known in New-Iork by the congnomen
Of Micky Free. He jumped two hundred
and ten hurdles, which were three feet and
one inch high, in twenty-four and a-half
minutes. There were ten hurdles placed III
Il circle of about one-ninth of a mile and he
repeated the circuit, leaping the hurdles two
hundred and ten times in the space Of time
above named. He had made a wager to do
it in an hour. He is walking a match at
the Thatched Cottage, Of one thousand half
miles in one thousand consecutive half hours
for wager, it is said, of two thousand dol

who also bears the title Of Countess Rossi, al

The New York papers are in ecstacics with
her already, and she is doubtless destined to
create a sensation equalled only by that of
the matchless Jenny Lind. Sontag comes to
America, however, with very considerable
reputation. An English paper, referring to
her performances in private circles, saws Of
her" We have heard Schroeder and Mali
bran, both grand and true in this compost

passionate tones, and with it the hearts of the
audience, so completely as the matchless Ma

BATTLE WITH THE INDIANS Capt. Marc,

BATTLE WITH THE INDIANS Capt. Marcy
and his command destroyed.--The Baltimore
Sun, of the 2Sth utimo, says: Intelligence
from Fort Smith, Arkansas, published under
our telegraphic head this morning, represents
that's severe battle, lasting two days, had
been fought by Capt. Marcy, and company
of United States troops, against two thou
sand Camanches, and that Marcy and his
whole command were murdered. The dis
patch which communicates this report does
not state precisely where the attack was
made. Capt. Marcy was reccntlyin command
Mt Fort Smith, near the boundary line of the
Indian territory, but the troops have been re-
Gently withdrawn from that post, and another
fort was in process of construction. 1t is
probable that this latter place was the point
of attack, and that the Indians were attracted
in such numbers by the hope of plumber from
the numerous California trains which are now
crossing the plains; Fort Smith being one of
the starting points for emigrants. Captain
Marcy belonged to the 9th Infantry. He
was the son of Gov. Marcy. who was Secre-
tary of War in President Folks Cabinet
Capt. Marcy was an officer of great accom-
plishments, and his death, if the news as re-
ported shall prove true will be severely felt
in the service

THE CUBAN CoNsprRAcY.-T The New York

THE CUBAN CoNsPIRAcY.-The New York
Courier and Enquirer has received the second
number of the new Cuban revolutionary
journal, La Va del Pueblo Cubdno The
editors assume holder and more defiant
tone, and avows that the sheet is printed at
Guiaes, a town about IS miles south of
Hayana but there is said to be reason to
believe that it is issued from Havana. Copies,
it is alleged have found their way even into
the palace of the Captain General, and not
withstanding the vigilance of the police no
clue to the publishers has been found. In
this number the Spauiards residing in Cuba
are strongly prayed to make common ground
with the Cubans, on the ground that they
orc eoually oppressed. 1t Is more than
probable, il is said, that the paper is printed
either in New York or New Orleans, and has
never been seen in Cuba; the object being to
get up another filibuster excitement in this
country.

pressed with the Importance of the step they
have taken though they 'affect the god, as,
sumo the nod, and seemto shake the spheres"
we dare to believe that henceforth tho
Wing press will not be silenced IN conse!
quence, nor the party, as political organiza-
ton, rendered altogether powerless. When
one of Napoleon's Marshals was told by an
English lady that she could not possibly con-
slider his leader great man, "Madame," re-
piled the Frenchman, with that shrug of tho
shoulders and air of profoundest Difference
peculiar to his countrymen -"the Emperor
will be very sorry to hear it," The card of

about rs much uneasiness as would have been
felt by Napoleon on being informed of tho
English lady's estimate of his genius"

SPEAKING AT CLEvELAND.-We received
by Wednesday evenings mail an account OF
the speaking at Cleveland, on Monday last
between the district electors for this con-
pressional district. We regret the late hour
at which it reached us precludes its publica-
ton. this week. In order to meet the mails
interesting at this point we are compelled
70 nut our paper to press at IL o'clock gu
Thursday, and consequently are frequently
forced TO omit communications not sent
in earlier than Wednesday evening.
We learn from the letter of our cores
pondent that the speaking was we'll attend
cd, and tho wing elector acquitted himself in
n handsome and satisfactory manner, tri-
umphant!y indicating the wing candidate
from the charge of unsoundness on the sla-
very question, and showing that in that re-
spect at least 'the boot was on the other leg"
Our correspondent says the wings OF this
district may rest easy with their cause in the
hands of Geo. Brown. He is plain, COM
mon sense man, strong in argument and a
close debater. This, with tho advantage Of
heing on the right side of the question,
makes him moro than match for his CON-
petitor."

Up to IL o'clock, this, Thursday morning,

Henry Clay which was burned on Wednes-

however, which has been received in this city,
states that II bodies had been recovered up
10 the hour above mentioned. 1t is generally
supposed that some thirty or forty are still
missing.
The fire was caused by the excessive heat
which had been raised for the purpose ofrac.

morning, hearty all the passengers were In

Several dsgracefdl ARRAYS occurred IN
Lexington on the day of Mr.. Clay's burial.
arising out of those family quarrcls which are
cherished with such rancor in some parts ~
Kentucky. Mr.. Frank Telford met Major
Thomas Redd in ballroom, and Immediately
shot at him with revolver. Redd was not
dangerously wounded. Two other parties,
belonging to bellgerent families, whose
members never meet without attempting each
others lives, were brought together on thia
occasion, for the first time in ten years. They
met on the crowded streets of Lexington,
and Immediately exchanged shots, not how
ever with serious results.
