We understand that The President of the
UnIed States has inclosed Gen. Taylor's
commission as Brevct Major General Of
the Army, in an appropriate and compIi-
mentary letter in his own hand. In this
document he does ful! justice 10 the gori-
ons achievements of the Sth and 9th, and
10 the general, Ihe officers, and men who
participated in the two victories. This
is one Of the most marked compliments
which the President could pay to the
Commanding General. We understand
that the President promises, as soon as the
authentic details of the aclion have been
received, to give The proper testimonials
10 the other officers who distinguished
themselves on these occasions.

been laid before the Senate Of the United
States. could not have emanaled from
more appropriate source, Than from The
Senator oflhe Stale of Texas. 1t is realiz-

one was better able to appreciate the honor
Of such victory than the Senator who had
himself set the first example Of similar
achievement over Mexican army. 1t
