WHAT PENNSYLVANIA Can AND WILL
Do'-Mr. Cameron, the Senator from Penn
sylVania, in presenting to the Senate, on the
10th inst, the proceedings of the public meet
ing held in Philadelphia, took occasion 10 pay
Louisiana a compliment, and then proceeded
to say:
Pennsylvania bad a muster roll Of two hum
dred and thirty thousand intelligent and har-
dy militia; and she has a volunteer force of
thirty-two thousand mon, armed, equipped,
and drilled, ready for the ieid-every one. of
whom, he pledged himself, would be ready to
march at the first tap of the drum, if the
country should need their services. He
would not detract from the merits of other
States, all of whom would strive to be FORE
most in the race of patriotism; but if the
war should continue, he Ventured to say that
the unpretending State which he had the
honor in part to represent, won d, as she had
twice done before, give more men and more
money TO the cause of our common country
than was ever given by any other State in The
Union. No man would, in that State, inquire
about the cause of the war, but all would Join
the standard Of the country, to bring it to a
speedy and honorable termination. Pennsyl-
vania would show to the world that she had
in her mountains and her valleys '.coal
enough to warm all her friends, and iron
enough to cool the enemies of her country"

GENERALTAYLOR IN HIS TENT.

tAN -
A correspondent Of the Philadelphia In
qairer, writing from Tho Bfazos de Santiago,
\ saye 49,
On the Goth, a friend Of mine visited Gene
raj Taylor Ia the camp Of Point Isabel, where
he had established his depot for stores in the
! army. On landing, the scene presented was
quite d wild one, and reminded ono Of the &C.
counts we have received of on Arab En-.
eampment. There were three or four hun.
dred dragons IN the camp, with their horses
]pickgted about; besides an immense Number
Of wagons, mules and oxen. On stepping as.
bore, an officer conducted my friend TO the
Generals tent. tle was introduced to n very
plain shebbily dressed old gentleman, Of ra.
thor short stature, about sixty years Of age 4,
and who looked by his harpy appearance, as II
he bad been camping ont all his life.
This was the commander-in.ebief of the
army Of occupation. lie has been 80 years III
service on the frontiers Of our country. One
Of his officers remarked that cold as he IL, be-
bears The iatigues and privationB Of The cam.
paingn better Than any one under him" lie
wac afable, dtgnifed, and In excellent
spirits. His tent WAS no larger aud no better
than those of the other officers, and hts table
was his camp chest, in hiCh ho carried bis
cooking utensils, &c. His plates were tin
pans, and his cups mo sancers of ]course) tin
pannikihs. A small supply Of brown sugar
was kept in q tin canister, and not a piece of
cfockery was 10 be seen. A party Of six vas
thus entertained in holnely style, AID they al
seemed to enjoy 1t abonddntly.

AZ the conclusion of the meeting, nine
cheers were given Tor Gen. Taylor, three
for Gen. Gaines, and three for Governor
Johnson.
The appointment ofGen. Scott or any
other officer, at the present time over Gen.
Taylor, would oceasion universal indigna.
ton aud regret, for he has the confidence.
not only Of the people of Louisiana, but of
the whole army under his command. If he
lacks rank-let that be given him, there Is
no rank In the American which his PROV.
css and heroic conduct has not deserved.
We hope the administration will consider
the mattcr well, ere they commit an act
that would render them deservedly unpon.
pular in the whole southern country.
