IGEN. TAYLOR. We understand highly
oectable gentleman of this city received a
Ter from Gen. Taylor, yesterday, in which
Gen. T. expresses great confidence that he
hold his position against any force the Jheri
can bring against him, EstiL he receiueS rein

bit.
War. We have at last reached the war
lht in portion ofour foreign relations The

enge the slaughtered, we must rescue the
soners, we must vindicate our honor. Citi-
rs! read the story of the fight, and decide
pether you will repose in ignoble ease or

E, arded veteran to the beardless boy, all are
tdor, spirit and animation-all seem to feel
: at Gen. Taylor and his brave little band
I've been made the scape goats of the nation,
I to speak, and all burn with an impetuous de-
% to hasten to their succor, and if for that

those who imagine that America, not having
standing army, has no army, will in very

@lief. Mark it.
From the Picayune of the Sd inst
