Gen, TAYLOR Headed.

The singular simplicity that marks Gen.
FayIor's personal appearance and habits.
have become a subject of universal fame
1t is curious that soldier, so eminent in
all the qualities Of discipline, should be so
citizen-looking in his appearance. A Gu
rious scene occurred at Point Isabel, at
the time Commodore Conner appeared off
that place with his fleet, TO give snccor to
the ''Army Of Occupation.> Com. Con-
ner is a naval officer that is not only strict
in his dress, but has Philadelphia nicely
about it. He appears in full and splendid
uniform on all public occasions, being the
exact counterpart in this particular OF
Gen. Taylor.
Al the proper time, the Commodore
sent word to Gen. Taylor, that he would
come ashore 10 pay him visit of ceremo-
ny. This put old Trough and Ready in
to a tremendous excitement. 1.-THE Com
modore had quietly come up to his tent,
and given him q sailors grippe, and sal
down on a camp chest, and talked over
matters in an old fashioned way, Gen
Taylor would have been prepared; but, &c
have the most carefully dressed officer III
our Navy, commanding the finest fleet, te
come in full uniform, surrounded by all the
gittering pomp of splendid equipments
to pay visit of ceremony, was more than
Gen. Taylor had, without some effort
nerve to go through with; bur, ever equa
to emergencies, he determined 10 compli
ment Com. Conner, and through him th'
Navy, by appearing IN full uniform,
thing his officers associated with him TO
wears, had never witnessed.
In the meantime the Commodore wa

plain white drilling, and unattended, came
ashore.
The moment old Rough and Ready :"
heard that the Co nodore had landed, he
abandoned some heavy work, he was per.
sonaliy attending TO about the camp, and
precipitately rushed into his tent, delved
at the bottom of an old chest, and pulled
out uniform coat, that had peacefully
sumbered for years in undisturbed quie-
tude, slipped himself into it, in his haste,
fastening it so that one side of the stand
ing collar was three button holes above
the other, and sat himself down as uncom-
Portable as can we'll be imagined. With
quiet step and unattended, Com. Conner
presented himself at Gen. Taylor's tent,
the Two soldiers shook hands, both in ex-
ceeding establishment at.each OF hers per-
