at about 900, ready for orders--more are coming
here. Ordnance, provisions, and supplies are go
ing forward continually, from which Judge there
is chance for winter campaign from Monterey;
some think to the contrary. A "hasyn messenger
passed through this place, from Washington, to
General Taylor, the purport of which is not known
here as yet, by the knowing ones. Some think a
negotiation is going on, and others that prompt
prosecution Of the is ordered. Whichever il

GENERAL TAYLOR.

Gen. Taylor was born in Virginia,
and raised in the neighborhood of Lex

a lieutenant, in 1908; was a captain,
and greatly distinguished himself in

when it was attacked by greatly SUI
perior force of British and Indians
For his gallant conduct on this oeca-
sion, he was made brevet major, be-
ing the first brevet that was conferred
in that war. Gen. I. was in Florida
during part of the Seminole war, and
commanded in person at the battle of
Occochub5e, on the 25th Dec. 1887.
His gailantry and skill on that occasion
won for him the rank Of brevet briga.

been 38 years in service on the 'front.'
iers Of our country. One Of his officers
re marked that sold as he is, he bears
the fatigues and privations of the cam
paign better than any one under him.
He was affable, digni6ed, and 10 ex--.
celfent spirits. His tent was no larger
and no better than those Of the other
officers, and his table was his camp
chest, in which he carried his cooking
utensils, &c. His plates were. tin pans,
and his cups mo saucefs, of couse,)

sugar was kept in lin canister, and

GEN. TAYLOR in HIS TENT.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Inquirer, writing from the Braxos de
Santiago, says:
.On the Goth, friend Of mine visi-
ted Gen. Taylor in the camp of Poinl
Isabel, where he had established his
depot for stores in the army. On Ian
ding, the scene presented was quite .
wild one, and reminded me Of the ac-
counts we have received Of an Arab
Encampment. There were three or
four hundred dragons in the camp,
with their horses picketed about; be-
sides an immense number of wagons.
mules, and oxen. On stepping ashore,
an officer conducted my friend to the
Generals tent. He was introduced to
a very plain, shabbily dressed old gen
tleman, Of rather small stature, about
sixty years of age; and who looked,
by his hardy appearance, rs if he had
been camping out all his life. q e5
