condemn, aud which can result in nothing
but evil, II pefseyered in as a principle.
We acknowledge that il Is the only way IN
which the offenders eau he punished; hui
in thus Furnishing, tho chances are many
that the innocent are made 10 suffer with
the guilty. We do not know that such
has been the case in this instance, but Il Is
gratifying 10 hear that Genera. Taylor Is

AaKANsAs CAyALRY.-Wo learn i,om
lhe Picket Guard, that Gen. Taylor ordered
companies G and c, Of tho Arkansas cav.
alry, 10 ,he rear Of their regiment, by WAY
of punishment for their conduct at Bupna
Vista, but through the intervention Of Gen.
Wool, restored them 10 their ".Omcr hon.
orablo position" We feel ii duty We
owe to the Arkansas cavalry 10 say this
much, because We spoke, in former mum
ber, Of their taking French lraye" at the
great battle Of the mountains and chasms.

TuE RIVER AND TowN.-The river is
again naylgable 10 Camargo-not made

away of bars which ob.tucled the channel.
The town shows a little more liie-miny
strange faces are to be seen in the streets,
but we canno, hear or perceive that bust.
ness is improving. Tho faces Of our public
men are ns elongated as ever, and their
complaints are dolorous in the extreme.
The city is healthy aud the sick in hospital
doing well.
ARpoR.-Go il, ye land SPECTATORS

fortunes. Uncle Sam has come at last To
final resolve 10 hold on forever and for

Sierra Madre. and something beyond. -
This is the smallest slice that will satisfy
now, and ii obstinate Mexico does not
speedily come to terms. our good old uncle
has determined to cut of larger slice from
her cake for his Yankee boys.
GUERmLLA.--The Mcxicans have not
ceased their murders on the road, but have
dared TO attack rear party coming down
