VOLUNTEERS FOR THE WAR.--The st. Lou
is Reveille of the 23d of May, says:
"The eageness of our people to enroll
will, doubtless, have swelled the number of
volunteers. in tho State bordering the Gulf
and Mississippi alone, TO over one hundred
housdnd!--and so earger are they for con-
test with our perfdious foe, that many are
proffering the services without pay. Com
panies are raising in Mobile, "upon their
own hook" determined TO minglo in the
fight"

CoNcREssIoNAL.-In the Senate to-day,
after the presentation Of petitions, Mr.. Han
sgfgan called up his resolution submitted yes
sterday, providing for the adjournment Of
Congress on the 20th Of July next, upon
which short discussion ensued, which will
be found in another column. A considerable
objection TO the resolution was raised on the
ground that no action had been taken upon
the tariff upon which question, as one Of the
senators justly remarked, this Congress is
pledged to the country. Others opposed il,
because in their opinion the present position
of our affairs with Mexico and Great Britain
forbid at present, the designation of any spe-
cial day for an adjournment.
The resolution was finally laid over uutil
Monday week, motion to lay it on the ia
bic having been gatived-yeas 10, nays 81.
The Senate stands adjourned to Monday
next.
In the House, joint resolution was pas
sed, providing for the appointment Of select
committee of five members of the House
and two of the Senate, to visit West Point
Academy during the examination of the ca
diets, which commences on the lst of June,
and to inquire into the abuses alleged to
exist in that institution. Washington Union

THE RANCHERos. OF MExIco.--A writer
in the Albany Atlas gives the following de.
scriplion of the Mexican " Rancheros," OF
which such frequent mention is made in the
war reports from the Rio Grande:
This is an appellation derived from their
occupation and mode of life, and is common
to similar class Of men who subsist on the
pampas of South American. Half Indian
and half Spanish in their extraction, gaunt,
shrveIed, though muscular in their frames,
and dark and swar,hy vsaged as they are,
these men are the Arabs of the American
continent. Living half Of the time in the
saddle, for they are unrivalled horsemen,
with lasso in hand they travel those vast
plains in search of the Buffalo and wild
horse, who roam there in countless herds.
The killing of these animals and the pre-
paraton and sale of their hides is their sole
means of livelihood, other than lending a
helping hand to some of the partizans in the
civil wars, that are continually being waged
around them. Their costume generally con-
sisls of pair of tough hide leggins with
sandals of the same material bound together:

WASHINGTON, May 26th, 1916.

qMr Brinkerhoff, had the honor, Yesterday,
of offering a resolution conveying a vote OF
thanks TO Gen. Taylor, and the officers and
men under his command, together with a
months extra pay to each non-commissioned
officer, musician, and private, which belong
ed to the army acting under his orders on
the 9th inst. Theresoution was referred
to the committe of the whole on the state of
the Union. This was necessary, as it invol-
we'd an appropriation ofmoney.
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr..
Brinkcrhoff was remarkably well received,
and will undoubtedly pass, as soon as it can
go through with requisite forms oflegslaton.
You may congratulate yourselves that the
proposition has come from member of the
Ohio delegation, as all concede that the ar
my richly deserve the compliment intended
them.
Our government have bought the two war
steamers, built for the Mexican governme mt,
which have been lying at the dockn the city
of New York, for more than year past. They
have also purchased four schooners of war,
built for the same government, about year
since, and exactly adapted TO the navigation
of the Mexican waters.
The tariff, | am constrained TO thrk, has
been mere matter of jdggle--to be talked
about-to be used as a stool pigeon to catch
moi TO be touched. 1t is occa-
sionally the theme of conversation among
public men; but see no more indication of
its being taken up, than did three months
ago.-Ohio Statesman.

MAJOR GEN TAxLoR.-Reatiye 10 the
meriied promotian Of this gallant officer tc
the rank Of brevet Major General, by the
President, and its confirmation by the Sen
ate, the Washington Union adds;
We understand that the President of the
United States has inclosed Gen. Taylor's
commission as Brevet Major General of the
army in an appropriate and complimentary
letter in his own hand. In this document
he does full ljustice to the glorious achieve
ments ofthe Sth and 9Th, and to the gener-
al, the officers, and men who participated in
the two victories. This is one of the most
marked compliments which the President
could pay the commanding general. We
understand that the President promises, as
soon as the authentic details of the action
have been received, TO give the proper testi-
monias to tho other officers who distinguish
ed themselves on these occasions.
3 The resolution of thanks, &C., which has
been laid before the Senate of the United
States, could not have emaIated from a more
appropriate source, than from the Senator
of the State of Teas. 1t is realizing The
saying of laudatur a laadato. NO one was
better able to appreciate the honor Of such a
victory than the senator who had himself SET
the first example of similar achievement over
a Mexican army. 1t vas Houston offering

We have seen letter from the Point
Isabel,) written on the 18th instant, which
furnishes few additional interesting items
of news connected with Gen. Taylor's gal
lant action of the 9th With the permission
of the gentleman TO whom it was addressed,
we have present our readers with con-
densed synopsis of its contents:
"Captain Mays squadron, ordered by the
general at all risk to silence the battery
threatening TO snatch the victory from us,
consisted of some seventy dragoons. OF
these, in the charge, one officer and nine
men were killed, and ten were wounded.
Twenty of their borseswere also killed,
and eleven were wounded. The loss sus-
tained in this gallant affair is alone proof Of
the daring intrepidity of the squadron en-
gagged; whose leader, (May9 by-lhe-by,
cleared the enemy's breastwork ten yards in
advance of his troop. He was mounted on
his favorite old charger, Tom, (wounded in
this affair." we'll known 10 many officers OF
the army as having borne him successfully
through numerous fights and skirmshes in
the Florida compagns. This, | believe,
was the horse on which he led the charge
on the camp of Phillip, the head chief of
the Seminoles, on which occasion it will be
recollected that Capt. Chen Lieutanan)
May knocked down and secured the chief in
the act of raising his rifle 10 shoot him.
"Gen. Vega, who in this affair became
prisoner to Capt. May, is said to be one of
the bravest and most accomplished officers of
the Mexican army"
Well did this young and ardent officer
carry out the laconic order of Gen. Taylor,
to which he made the reply so Characteristic
of the soldier. SSH" said The general,
"you must take that battery" Men,
said The captain nreply," we must take that
battery. Follow!"- Washington Union.

combinations made by the Senate on the
%, we are grathied 10 observe the hame Of
the Hon. MARCUS MoRToN, to be collector
of customs for the district of Boston and
Charlestown, in the state of Massachusetts.
1t appears that faction and federalism could
not control the confirmation of this appoint
ment of the President, as it did in the case
of HENRY Horn, Of Philadelphia.
1t will also be seen that the appointments
by the President, of Ihe officers for the
Mounted Rifle Regiment, have been con-
frmed. Among whom was our fellow cti-
zen, Gen. w. L. SASDERsoN. This is Pc

Why is il that the rainbow and the cloud come
