The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Cou-
rier and Enquirer says that Mr. Calhoun asserts
himself satisfied, that Gen. Taylor is
lst In favor Of Revenue Tariff Of low duties, and
that in case ohis election to the Presidency he would
not touch the tariff of 1916.
I'd. That he General Taylor Ia against the estab-
lishment OF United States Bank and in favor of an
Independent Treasury,
And Sd. That Gen. Taylor Is in favor Of terrific
rial indemnify.
We have heard very different report Of Gen. Tay-
lors sentiments, on what we knoir 10 be ''undenia-
BILE authority" but do not feel at liberty to speci
fly that authority, norto indicate the sentiments re-
ported for the PRESENT. Cincinnati Atlas.
We feel at liberty to pronounce the statement that
Gen. Taylor enterains the above Sentiments to be
utterly unfonndcd. And we are at liberty further to
declare that Mr. Calhoun does not assert himself sa-
tisfed that Gen. Taylor is what the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Courier alleges, II
Wing people will not be too impatient, they will get
Gen. Taylors opinions from over his own signature,
in all proper time. They will all be more than salts

An accident occurred on the river yesterday Of
the most, melancholy character, and which has
throwna deep gloom over the community The
steamer A. N. Johnson, on her trip from Cincinna-
Il, to Wheeling, and when near Maysvile burst her
boiler, completely destroying the boat, and creating
a terrific loss Of life. There were one hundred and
sixty passengers on board Of whom seventy were
otherwise Injured that 1t Is feared they cannot sur
vve. We have not been able as yet to procure full
list of the sufferers, but notice among others, the
names OF Messrs Wheat snd Philson Of Baltimore
~ among the scalded Mr. Fairchild, clerk of the
steamboat; Lyles, Engineer, and Hednian, pilot are
among the killed. The boat took fire Immediately
after the explosion and burnt to the WATERS edge
This added to the horrors of the scene and proven
ted many from being saved, who otherwise would
have been rescued from the wreck by boats, and
various crafts which went to their assistance.
This was one OF the most awful vsitations which
has happened in this sections of the country for
many years past, and will long be Remembered as
MUCH Bait. Pat,

3T'rhe Richmond Examiner, in some recent
comments upon the Wing candidate, feels confident
that Gen. Taylor win be the man. In that event,
1t saysi shall oppose him, but while opposing him,
viii remember his services to his country and while
uncompromisingy resisting his advancement to the
Presidency, will treat him with the respect due

The meeting of the friends Of General TAYLOR
which took place at Coemans Hotel this evening
did not do any act or make any move either of u
positive or negative nature In regard to The candi
dacy Of " Old Rough and Ready for the Presidency
The meeting was held in a large room, which was
citizens generally. When | crowded myself into
the room, Col Gentry, of Tennessee had Just COM
menced making few observations, Ii appeared
that some resolutions had been offered deprecatng
any movement calculated to do injury to Gen Tay-
lor or the Wing party Col Gentry said he was tie
for the Presidency. He desired to see him elected
and that too, whether he should be nominated or
not nominated, bya National Convention And he
would be elected against any and every candidate
that might be started. Neither National Conven-
ton, nor Congressional Caucus nor meeting in
the District OF Columbia could elect or defeat him.
The free, sovereign independent people of the coun-
try had resolved that Zachary Taylor should be their
presdent-and he would be.
He said it was no time for that meeting to take
any step Of an affirmative or n negative nature in
regard 10 the candidacy of Gen. Taylor who was in
the field, and who would be run and riumphanty
elected by the people. The question would soon be-
any body TO be found who will oppose himp ii,
advised, If there were any persons present who
wished TO get on the strong side, that they should
hoist the Taylor Flag :" Immediately, or sooner" or
az he said, Tennessee stump-speaker expressed it.
forthwith or forthwther" -
He hoped, and doubted not that those who had
offered the resolutions to the meeting were the
friends of General Taylor, but his advice was tina,
no action should be had on them. He knew of nc
motion which he could make for the action Of thu
meeting save one, which was always in order at tn,
other end of the Avenue, and that was to adjourn
If 1t would not be considered an intrusion for him
stranger to do so he would move that the meeting
now adjourn Washington Cor Bali. Patriot

A GovsRNMEsT orrIcER.-We understand Nat
the people of Greensboro scarcely get any mails at
all by the river The reason, as explained 10 us by
various persons, is that the Owensboro postmaster
Mr. Jesse Bristow, whose Office is not more than
thirty yards from tho landing, will neither take the
ma-bags from the boat to his Office, nor take them
from his Office to the boat nor employ any person to
take them for him, nor permit them to be taken by
any one who Is not a sworn officer Of the Govern
ment. The consequence is, that the Owensboro'
mailbags are rarely opened there at all Provisions
are made for the transportation of the mails from all
parts Of the country 10 the Owensboro wharf, but
the people there cannot get their letters and papers,
because, according 10 the construction of the post
master, no provision has been made for the Transport
aton of the mails the thirty yards between the
wharf and the post oficel We have been requested
by several gentlemen of Owensboro to call the Post
master Generals attention TO this matter. He should
attend TO it promptly Let him decide at once ,rhose
duty il is to take the mail-bags back and forth be-
tween the wharf and post Office and then let him see
that his decision be enforced We think he should
either give the people Of Owensboro new postmas-
ter or give Jesse Bristow Jesse" Louisville Jour
