vice of some forty years, until his sneensful campaigns in
kiniso—compaigns that enured California for the Hefted
Stame—gave him a reputation extending to all parts of the
world. To many points of his career his countrymen point
with great pride. In the war with England he gallantly
defended the half-ereend military post against a Isom and
almost overwhelming body of Indies', end drove them oil
with but a handful of men. He was equally celebrated is
what is known es the Indira war in the aorth-watt ; for his

General Zichary Taylor, who, with his military family, and
a squadron of dragoons as an own, is on his way to the
front. A few more anecdotes will serve to show the
character of the men.
After the capitulation of Mostorsi, the dicers of the army
ued their exerting to get General Taylor to more from his
cusp at St. Domingo to the Plans, and there establish his
head quarters. Several public buildings were examined sad
decided upon as suitable. After considerable persuasion,
General Taylor consented to men, at the same time giving
the following lestramions: " Chose a pleasant locatioa—a
house that is surrounded by a garden filled with large trees;
put up a tent under the trees for my residence, and you [the
staff and other encore] may have the house in front." It is
needless to add, that no more was said about the head queer.

day seemed extremely problematical, ea diner of high rink
rode up to General Taylor, and announced the temporary
success of the enemy, and expressed his fears for the samosa

I will take three thousand of the enemy prisoner'. Had I
