THE REWARD OF MERIT.

We understand that, as soon as the Presdsn, Of
the United States received the Official despslch,,
from General Taylor, he Loaf no time in tesdfyin,
the high respect in which he holds the msritoriou,
services Of that distinguished officer.
In conformity with his wishes and his duty h,
yesterday nominated to the Senate Of the Unh.d
States to the rank Of major general by brevet in III.
army of the United States, Zachary Taylor, now
breyet brgadier general, for his gallant conduct and
distinguished services in the successive vietori,,
over superior Mexican forces at "Palo Alto, ~ and
"Resaca de Ia Palma" on the 9Th and 9Th DAYS Of
May, 1876, to take rank as such from the last-msn
toned day. This nomination was Immediately and
unanimously confirmed by the Senate.
We understand, also, that the President nomns.
ted Captain Walker, of the Texan rangers, who
has distinguished himself on several occasions, and
particularly in the maneuvres and actions on IN,
Rio Grande, as a captain in the new regiment Of
Dragons. The reader will perceive, from the com.
plete list of appointments in this corps, as published
in the present number of the "Union," that Captain
WIS nomination has this day been confirmed by tn,
Senate.
The President of the United States will take som,
early opportunity of testifyng his high respect fo
other distinguished officers in tho army Of Gensrs

the greatest benefit upon themselves and the coun-

One great cause Of the prosperity Of the manufac-
turer was this; notwithstanding he has had taxes OF
all sorts to contend with, and also high tax the
raw materials which he manufactured, he has proved
himself superior TO all the other manufacturers

the world; he has employed his capital literally and
skilfully. On all occasions he has adopted the new
Improvements in mechanics, and invariably prohted
by the advantages which science, in its various
branches, could confer upon him. And would
venture TO hold out the same lnducement TO you,

system, in the numerous exalted stations which he
has occupied in the British colonies. Severe as are

FIFTH DIVISION KENTUCKY MILITIA.

GENERAL ORDERS.
In obedience to the above proclamation Of the
governor, 1t is ordered that the Sth 10TH and 42c
regiments, assemble at Lexington on Wednesday
the goth of this month-the 9th regiment at Nicho
lasve on Thursday the 2lst-the l th and lO6tf
regiments at Versailles on Friday the 22d and the
l7th and Both regiments at Winchester on Saturday
the 23d instant for the purpose of ascertaining the
number of volunteers disposed to enter the service
of the United States.
The major general does not doubt that the same
noble spirit which precipitated the gallant sons Of
Kentucky upon every frontier where enemy was
to be met during the late war, will again animate his
felow-soldiers; and he calls upon them in the name
OF liberty and patriotism to hasten to the rescue OF
the American army on the Rio Grande, to share
their victories or avenge their disasters if any have
befallen them.
Brgadier Generals Bryan and Chrisman, and the
several colonies of regiments, will see this order
promptly executed.

LEXINGTON, KY, May IS, 1916.
We learn to-day from member Of the House of
Representatives from louisiana that this State has
noby done her part by her country. The town Of
New Orleans has already sent forth her gallant
corps of two thousand five hundred volunteers to the
campaign. We understand that at least ten thou
sand volunteers have already offered their services
to their country. In fact we have no doubt that
Louisiana alone could furnish a contingent that
would be sufficient, with the vigorous counses
at Washington which direct the management of
the war, to carry on the campaign, and conduct
us to glorious victory and an honorable peace.
In a word, we cannot cast our eyes upon any part
of the animated spectacle which patriotic people are
everywhere presenting to our consideration, with

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate, after the morning business the bill
supplementary to the act providing for the prosecu-
ton Of the war in Mexico was again taken up, and
with few amendments, was ordered to be engross-
ed for a third reading The Senate then went into
executive session.
In the House, resolution was adopted calling on
the President for copies of General Taylors de-
spatches in relation to the two recent victories. The
President answered the call within three hours Of its
being made; and the papers were referred to the
Committee on Military Affairs.
The House then went into committee on the civil
and diplomatic appropriation bill. At one o'clock,
carrying out the motion Of yesterday the committee
proceeded to vote. Three hours were taken up in
this process, and the bill is not yet through its ago.
ny. Efforts were made to append to it restrictive
provisions in relation to pay and mileage. As is
always the.case when these topics are before the
House, a number Of propositions looking to
excessive reforms, and each going beyond the
other, were offered. One of the number proposed
the reduction of the pay to four dollars per diem;
and another took away all pay if Congress did not
diourn by the 10th of July. Other amendments Of
similar tendency were introduced, and the commit
tee finally wesried out with their apparently inter-
minable number, and with the burden and heat of q
session of many hours duration, found itself with
out quorum, and, nscessitate re rose. The bill
will no doubt receive final action Tomorrow.
