The Richmond Enquirer publishes the following
extract from letter to gentleman in Richmond:
"MADRrD, July %, 1876.
"Taylor's victories have been felt more here, in
Europe, even than at home. For two weeks, be
tween the sailings of the slcamers) our suspense
vas great; but when the news did come, each Amer
lean strutted out as large life. The papers which
had predicted Taylor's capture certain were sore
iy used up. Taylors dispatches have been greatly
admired for their terseness, dignity, and modesty.
"1he greatest compliment yet paid to Taylor |
heard Of IN London, When the steamer of May
l2th brought to Engand the news of lay lor's diff
cult position, the Duke Of Wellington met Mr. ---,
and the subject was introduced. why, said the
Duke, 'does he not do this and that mentioning
the steps he thought Taylor ought to take) When
the steamer of J une /, brought the of his VIC
torres, Mr.. - met the Duke again Your Grace, ;
said he, must have been advising Cen Taylor, for
you see he has done exactly what you said he ought
to do so be has, said the Duke, as much graft
fed az if he had won the victories himself. As |
get this from Gen. -, to whom Mr.. - related
ii; it is undoubtedly auhenticj exact in substance,
and think also verbatim.
"In Bordeaux met a Whole-souled American, a
'ive Yankee ship owner, of New York, Mr..
Holmes. He is the stuff which, when abundant in
a nation, makes it great. He was at Trieste when
the news of Taylor's difficulties came. Americans
we're respondent, and the folks there teazed him
with predictions of Taylor's capture. He answer
of bet of 81 900 that Taylor would meet the Mex
leans and route them. He found no one to take it,
| for Anstrians are not betting people. Soon a0ers
the news of Thornton's capture came, and the folks
congratulated him on his bet not having been taken
up. Gentlemen said he, here is the thousand
still, and another on it, that Taylor thrashes the
Mexicans.'
"They almost doubted his sanity--but week OF
| two afterward, came a single copy of Galignani's
Messenger, with accounts of the victories Its re-
ceiver carried it Immediately to Holmes. of he
streaks it down to the eight or ten American
vessels in port, and calls up the officers. Hoist
all your coors boys said he, and come ur
with me TO the Exchange Accordingly uf
went every piece of bunting and off marched
Holmes, with the captains and mates to the Elk
change, where they had, of course, royal .crou
over the cIoakers.' What the deuce is the matter
with these Americansp said everybody, as they
saw this fag-hoisting and marching. But al
| Holmes said, with knowing shake of his head
they soon found out why Holmes wound up the
ceremony by giving the Americans and his friends I
dinner in honor Of Palo Alto and Resaca de Ia Pal

me; for could not improve on his graphic ac
