SINGULAR FAeTs.-lt Is singular coinci- dence that tue battle of Buena Vista should have been tough. on the anniversary of Washington's birthday, and that in California on tbc anniversary of the battle of New Or leans. The commanding officers took ad- vantage of this fact to animate the spirit of their troops letter from Saliillo states that when Gen. Wood announced to the troops tha. the moraing of the engagement. was the anniversary of the birth of the im- mortal Washington, the ar rang with the shouts of the men. A, Los Angeles, Com modore Stockton reminded the men that they were fighting on the anniversary of day on which the American arms had accomplished the signal defeat of their most powerful and naughty rival With both, the effect was inspiring.

[ MR. CALHOUN AND GEN. TAYLoR-We have seen many speculaisous in the papers as to the probable support of Gea. Tayk,t by Mr. Ca!houD---esen the Charleston Mer- curry has copied some without word of explanation CT dissent. In order to keep our readers Informed of the rumors of the day, we'giVe the following from the Wash ingtOn correspondence of ihe New-Y ork
 Herald, for what IS 1t worth:
 The plirleal creed of Gen. Taylor is not distinctly known. He has been a soldier, and mol politician. He would have gone for Henry Clay atlhe last election, and was opposed 10 the annexation of Texas Thus much. we believe, IS known, and thus far Gen. Taylor stands directly opposed to Mir
 Calhoun. But Il is said that old Rough and Tough IS free trader, and il is fact well
 known taai he IS Louisiana slavehol1sr. a
 state m which, perhaps, the people are more lmmovably attached to the institution than { ia SouthCaroIina,
 Absorbed in the two grea. questions o free trade and slavery, we may now safely consider all other aspirations of Mfr. Calhoun to be. He Is jealous oi the northern can. didate upon the question of slavery He i, .dis.fussiul oi Intrigues, bargains, ard log-rol ling with the aboiitioaistz, to secure the
 balance of power which they hold in the north.
 Whereupoa, fl Mir. Calhoun cannot depend upon the independent ticket as sufficient to carry the election to the house, and, if so, io carry n satisfactorily thrsughou, the
 house, what better alternative can he adopt
 to cut of the abolitioais,s from all participa-
 lion in the next presidential election. than by
 casting his strength m the field upon the old
 uaan of the mountains:--.itEas.
