NARRATIVE Or OEN. Az LOh.-OG
z. Taylor is now so years Of age. III
is he son Of Capt. Dick Taylor, one o
that band OF enterprising pioneers o.
the West, who settled the clark and
bloody ground" 10 Sc the Indian mean
ing of the word "Kentucky." OfCapt
Dick Taylor, Gov. Scott (who was
sometimes little prolane) is reported
to have said, that if he had TO storm the
gates OF hell, he would want Dick Tay-
lor TO lead the column. Zachary Tay-
Tor is Kentuckian by birth--his ia
Their was from Virginia. z. TAYLOR
entered the service as a lieutenant of
Infantry in 1903, shortly after the at
tack of the Chesapeake, and has re-
mailed in the army ever since. He
was sent into Indiana, ana early en-.
gagged in Indian hostililies. On the
9Th December, 1919, he made a gal
liant defence Of Fort Harrison, for
which ne was breveted a Majar by
President Madison, which brevet is the
oldest in the army. In 1882 he led
the lst Infantry in the Black Hawk war
he became the Colonel of the 9th In
fantry, think, in 1882. In 1886 he
was ordered to Florida; in that coun-
try he was always foremost in danger.
With a detachment Of about 500 men,
composed Of parts of tho 1st- 4th, and
9th Regiments Of U. S. Infantry, and
some Missouri volunteers, he met about
700 Indians, under those famous war.

ligator, on the O-ke-cho- bee. 1t is
said that he was challenged TO this bat
lie by AlIigator-an invitation which
Col. Taylor very readily accepted.
This is said 10 have been the only in
stance in which the Indians vountari-
ly gave battle in the Florida war. The
Indians were concealed in strong po-
slilon in thick swamp, covered in
front by a small stream, which was
rendered almost impossible by quick
san DIS. Col. Taylcr, however, charg-
ed his concealed enemy, in the face oil
a deadly fire, and forced the Indians to
yield their ground inch by inch at the
point Of the bayonei. The battle was
hardly contested--it lasted about three
hours, when the Indians were routed
and pursued until night, with great
slaughter. This was a bloody battle.
and reflected great credit upon the val
liant band engaged in it, both regulars
and Missouri volunieers-of whom 139
were killed or wounded, being more than
one-tourth of the whole force. Col.
lay lQr remained on horseback during
the whole engagement, cheering his
men and exposing his person to the
deadly rifle ofthe Indians. The victo-
ry was complete, for this was the las:
stand which the indians made in FIori-
da in any large body.

0THas every body forgotten how
the British Wings" were hunted down
and barked at because they refused to
join the Washington Union and thou
sand other prints in asserting our clear
and unquestionable title to the whole of
Oregon? Has any body forgotten the
sweeping declarations of those prints
that whoever was willing to compro-
mise on 40 was for surrendering our
own soil to British usurpation? If
those things are not forgotten, what
must now be thought of the songs with
which those same prints celebrate the
event which has despoiled us of so much
territory? Honor and praise travel
the same road to The white House that,
defiance travelled before. Glory is a.
warded to the President for doing what
he was warned not TO do, on pain of
the unmitigatcd displeasure of the whole
party. The wings, in conjunction
with few democrats worthy of the
name, get no credit for saving the
country from war and ruin which they
were cursed for trying to do, and for
which Mr.. Polk is now glorifed for
allowing them to do. What has become
of Mr.. Hannegan's sweeping declara-
ton Of damnation. to Mr.. Polk! Has he
not done precisely what that gentleman
warned him in the name of the party
not to do? Suppose a whig President
had made this compromise in the face
of this locofoco denunciation would
the world Of 81 4Os have presented
the same quiescent front that they now
do? Political homo and consistency
shudder as they answer, no. Yet this
is the world famed Democratic party.

House Of Representa-. es, states that
he heard James Buchanan in 1914 use
the following language:

was personally intimate with them both;

poverty and wretchedness which would

than national calamity. Taylor and
his troops deserve the applause of the
world Tor their generous conduct to-
wards them. Already trade and traffic

TO develop The vast resources with which
Providence has blessed them. As those
who in the Crusades returned to the
Holy Land, brought with them the
principles which civilized Europe, so
those who go from us TO them, take with
them the true elements Of government,
which will elevate Mexico in time, as

next day. She left Liverpool on the 4th instant,
and is therefore eleven days at sea to-day.
The intelligence she will bring will be half a
month later than the last, and may be of some
importance, inasmuch the Old World is at
present undergoing transition that causes daily
and hourly changes and revolutions in politics,
commerce, and almost every thing else.
The Cambria made her home passagein ten

then, we may look for her hourly.
