GENERAL TAYLoR's DEsPATcHEs- The press
universally speaks of the dispatches of Gen. TAY-
LoR in high terms of commentator. The Union
regards the "Pen worthy of the Sword" and
.says-'. Nothing can be more happy appropriate
modest, yet dignifed, than the dispatches from
General Taylor They are worthy of the man,
and Of the occasion which has called them forth"
The American reader will remark with pride
and pleasure, says the N o. Courier, the striking
contrast il exhibits to the tedious, tombastic, eX-
ltravaganf, glorious productions of the Next
lean generals. The neatness Of its style is admi-
rahle-not Oyvari toe much, i= che wrong place

.eion with which his military operations are con-
slucted :"

The New York Morning News says 80 We
witnessed, on Saturday afternoon, at the Arsenal
yard, in this city, few experiments with new
sud very effective weapon of attack or defence, in
4ented by Messrs. Reynolds 81 Brothers, of Kim
tIerhool. Sits called Projecting Engine, and the
rapidly and precision with which the balls were
propelled seemed almost beyond comprehension.
Che experimental model was fitted to throw lead
en- missile of ounces, and was capable, with the
cxertions of two men at the crank to drive these
balls through two-inch plank at the distance of
80 yards. The proiectile force is obtained by the
centrifugal tendency of the ball to fly off from a
horizontal Wheel while revolving at very high
velocity and the engine seems to be perfectly man
aaeable, delivering its fatal messengers at any
b5nt of the compass desired and at the rate of 90
balls per second -
