A GOLD SWORD.

number OF the citizens of Howard District,
Md, have determined to present gold sword to
Lieut.. Randolph Ridgeley, who commanded the
Flying Artillery, (known as Rnggold's,) at the
battle OF Resaca de la Palma. This is a just ap-
PROBATION OF that officers vaor and ntrepidity, for
to him we believe the American Army was as much
indebted for its success as any other man. When
Capt May advanced for the purpose of making a
charge on the cannon of the enemy, Lieut. Ridge
ley called on him to hold that their cannon were
all loaded and he would be swept away with his
troops-to let the Flying Artillery make fire which
would bring the Mexicans to fire, and then ad-
vance; this was done and the result is Known
Doubtless the foresight of Ridgeley gave us ''the
day."

style worthy alike of the givers and receiver.

ed M. Guzot to report to the Chamber what he was
doing with the Government of the u. States in re-
lation to the treaty of commerce which France had
concluded with Texas, and by which advantages
were stipulated for French products. The Deputy
stili regarded the treaty existing and operative
under the law of nations. NJ. Guzot replied as
follows
"The question raised by the honorable member

very difficult, and most of the precedents which
might be adduced are contrary to the conclusion to
which he seems to incline. He will excuse me

GEN. TAYLOR.

1t is at length ascertained, upon unreasonable
authority, that Gen. Taylor was born in ORANGE
county, in this State The Louisville Courier saws,
his sister, Mrs Sarah b. Gray, who resides some
TWO or Three miles from that city, has in her pos
session an old family Bible, in which his birth is
registered, and from which it appears that he was
born In Orange county, on the 24th November,
1854. His father removed to Kentucky when
Zachary was only nine months old, and he was
there raised and educated.-Iis father, Col. Rich
ard Taylor, was an officer in the old Continental
Army, and died about ten years SINCE He was an
Elector in that District for jefferson, Madison and
Monroe, and for Henry Clay the first time he was
candidate for the Presidency-a good voucher for
the orthodox Republicanism of both father and son.
"A letter from Naval officer i'm the Gulf Soua-
dron to a member Of Congress thus describes cold
Rough and Ready"
General Taylor is an extraordinary man, and
mas less OF the military in his appearance than any
man have ever seen who wore a sword. He came
into our camp the lth dressed and looking like
very plaln, good natured honest, well n-the
world farmer, In search of market for his crop,
win not SO much as single uniform button to be
seen about him. We received him with three

Notwithstanding his farmer-like appearance, the
Held OF battle is said to be his very element There
he Is cool and perfectly possessed his only fault
as General is that he is too apt be found in that
part of the field where the balls fly thckest.o
A similar description of the Hero of the Rio
Grande is given by N. Orleans correspondent of a
Philadelphia paper, who adds ''The South and
West are on fire for Taylor as a candidate for the
Presidency, though those who know him doubt
whether he would accept it. The $4,000 volun-
teers on their return from Mexico, will spread their
own enthusiasm throughout the whole land. The

President Polk s. The Tictory ON the Rio Grande
correspondent of the Washington Union says
-'"'Ihe victory of Gen. Taylor on the Rio Grande
is dazzling event in the career of an Adminstra-
ton that has scarcely exceeded the first wear of its
existence" And the editor of the official organ
pronounces the Judgment iust'
The victory is truly dazzling event, but what
special credit the Administration is entitled to for
1t, the common sense Of the country, we imagine,
will not be able very readily to comprehend The
only ostensible agency of President Polk in the mat
ter was in placing Gen. Taylor and his gallant lit
tie army in position Of extreme peril while
theirs was the task of fighting out of it, This
they did most noby, not only sustaining the honor
OF our Flag, but gloriousy wreathing it with vic
tory. Unless it can be shown, therefore. that tho
military eye Of the President clearly foresaw these
results, and that they had been made subject of
deliberate calculation with him beforehand. the ma
ton cannot but be disguised at this attempt to crown
him with laurels which Were SO hardly won bv
Others. We have thought, indeed, that it was
most fortunate circumstance for Mr. Polk that Gen.
Taylor did prove victorious, for if his army had
oeen annlhiated as was at one time apprehended,
the storm of public indignation which would have
been aroused against him might have pone wei,
nigh driving him in disgrace from the Presidential
Office His friends might be content. therefore
