tions passed deprecating, in strong terms, the

General Taylor,s whIrism.

IN publishing Gen. Taylor,s letter 10 the
editorof the Cincinnati Signal, we added these
remarks, which we find, have attracted mueB
attention:
Within the last three days We have seen i
lettertrom Gen. Taylor, in which he twice de.
c%lares, unequiyocally and in SO many words,
thathe is "A WHIG." In that letter. howey-
or' he strongly disclaims everything like parti-
san asperity, and expresses an ardent desire I'd
see the country delivered from the evils which
partisan violence has brought upon it.
The editor Of the Washington Union quotes
this paragraph and expresses the opinion. that il
Is"a tofgery"--that Gen. Taylor has written no
such a letter as that which we speak of having
seem Such an imputation from-soae sources
might have power to excite in our mind a feel.
ing of anger, but we should as soon think Of
getting angry at a %decrepit old woman as at the
old male dotard Of the Washington Union.
The letter Of Gen. Taylor, 10 which we re-
Tered, was addressed to The Hon. w. ]. Graves
Of this city, by whom it was shown to us on
the 9th Of June ult,, and by whom we were
authorized to make the use Of il that we did
make. In regard to that letter we now reite-
rate our statement. Gen, Taylor twice de-
clares in it that he is "a WHIGn--he declares
this directly and unequivocally. Al the same
time, as we remarked before, he disclaims all
partisan bitterness and avows his anxiety TO
see his beloved country delivered from the dis
astrous consequences of violent p~artyism. In
one paragraph he says, that, although himself
"A Wis.," yeL VI he had The po~er to make a
Rfestdente Of Me United States, and If he knew scho
IN the high office Of President, moud administer
he Government IN Me greatest purity and do most
to~ards 'estoring tito what II uGs IN he earlier
days Of Tie Republic, he would make that ma
President, no matter TO phat party he ~aightaOnsi-
maly belong. b
The sentiment is worthy of the old patriot
hero, and it may be regarded by all parties Os
an indication Of the spirit in which he himself
will administer the government when his coun-
trymen shall call him to the Presidency.--Lou

Dad blame my %picture,' ses Bill, 'if l don't
think we is bewildered. Who upon yearth
would build fences all over creation this wly?'
1t warn't but about an overs Job to get over
this one, but after they got on the top they found
the ground on tOther side thout much truble.
This time the bottle was broke, and they cum
monstrous near having fight about the catas-
trophy. But it was a very good thing, it was
for after crossin three or four more branches,
and climin as many fences it got to,be daylight
and they found out that they had been climbin
the same fence all night not more'n a hundred
yards from whar they first cum to it.
Bill SWEENEY says he can't account for it
any other way but that the Ticker sorter turned
Their beds and he ses that he does really be-
lieve that if they hadn't gin out they'd been
climbin that same fence and that same branch
till yit. Bill promised his wife to iine the Tenn
perence Society if she wont never say no more
bout the hunt.

BATHING IN MExIoo.-The following is an
extract from a letter from the camp of the
Massachusetts volunteers, published in the Bos-
ton Transcript:
"You would BIO charmed with our epcamp-
ment on account Of the bathing, if nothing
else. All the Matamoras females, high and
low, battle at least once in each day-generally
in the evening, soon after sunset, and as the
current is too strong for their delicate limbs to
contend against in the river, they resort to
the lakes in the vicinity of the city-our
lake being especially favored by them. Some
of them are splendid swimmers. and | have seen
some of them outswim at least eight of our Of
fcers.
The Mexican men and women battle pro-
miscuously, and1it is laughable to see the wo-
men take a love sick swain and duck him till
he is nearly dead. / should consider that q per-
feet cure for the most obstinate case imagina-
ble.p (.
One scarcely wonders that the writer Of the
letter was tscharmed with their encampment,"
It must have been a rare thing to see eight Off
GERS 0 fthe Massachusetts volunteers swimming
after the Mexican womens We wonder it it
was in one of these swimming matches that
Col Gushing broke his leg.-hcay'a'e.

IHE PRATRIEs. - Bryant has written a de-
llghttul poem-secOnd only to his "Thanatop-
sls"-on these "gardens of the desert" A
contributor to the Burlington (vt.)
Free Press, has also Opostrophized them, but in
a more practical and familiar style. He says;
Great Western waste Of bottom land,
Flat as a pancake, rich as grease!
Where gnats are full as big as toads,
And 'skeeters are as big as geese!
o,lonesome, windy, grassy place,
Where buffaloes and snakes prevail!
The first with dreadlul-looking face,
The last with notwithstanding tail!
I'd rather live on Cancels rump,
And be a yankee doodle beggar,
Than where they never see a stump,
And shake TO death with fever-n'ager! Z

The TayIOrs ana the SCOTS.

There was quite a scene in the Recorders
office yesterday morning, between two ladies,
each of whom had child in her arms. Mrs.
Taylor was short dumpy woman, with a pair
of shoulders broad enough to bear most Of the
burdens of life. She was rather negligent in
her dress, but there was an honesty and deter
mination in her face that aroused the dormant
sympathies Of even the policemen. Mrs. Scott,
on the contrary, was a tall woman, with rather
a lady-like figure. She wore a red shawl, and
her gimp bonnet was decked with a profusion
of gaudy artificial flowers, thus affording a
strong contrast to the plain cap and homely
dress Of Mrs. Taylor. The infant Scott SEEM
ed very delicate and languid, while the infant
Taylor was as sturdy a little brat as ever play
ed in a mud-puddle, or got scaldod by the up
setting of a tea-kettle. so5

toned blandness, 'please state your casesn

who writes Gen. TayIor's Dispatches,

who writes Gen. TayIOrSs Dispatches
The editor Of the Hagorstown Torch Light
has obtained the following facts from a gentle
man who was a graduate of West Point, and a
class and roommate Of Col. Davis, Of Mis-
sissippi.
In conversation with Gen. c. Of the us
Army, now stationed at Washington, our
fiend asked the question if Gen. Bliss did not
write the dispatches. The old Generals eye
sparkled with indignation, and he replied that
he had served with Gen. Taylor upon thirteen
Court Martials and that he [Gen. T.. had been
selected by each Court to draw up its report,
because of his superior abilities in a compost
%tion-that all were willing to accede to him
the faculty of expressing in the %clearest, strong
est and most forcibls manner, the views Of the
Court, and hence, he was uniformly selected
for this purpose.
Gen. G. also stated that in Florida, a misun-
Outstanding arose between Gen. Twiggs and
Gen. Taylor, from a remark made by the latter.
in reference to some military operations Of the
former. A correspondence ensued which
proved perfectly satisfactory to Gen. Twiggs,
One Of Gen. Taylor's communications, in
which he gave at large the views of the mat
ter in dispute, reached Washington, and, as
Gen. c. remarked, was regarded by the
gentlemen Of the army, as one of the most pow
crful military productions they had ever seen.

The Chinese junk.

The Chinese Junk arrived at the New York
quarantine ground the evening of the 9th inst
The steamer Orus. from Shrewsbury, was the
first to see her, a few miles out, and at the re-
quest of the passengers the captain took the
Orus out to meet her, Cheers &C., were ex-
changed. The crew were copper colored-
nude on the upper part Of the body. There
are a good many jokes afloat about the stran-
ger, says the New York Commercial, the best
of which is that the Postmaster General is in
treaty for it to carry the mail between New
York anc Philadelphia, n
The Commercial gives the following %descrip-
ZION of the junk:
She is named the Keying, KeMllett, master,
and has had a passage Of two hundred and
twelve days from Canton, touching, at st, He
lena on the ODD of April. She has come in
ballast consigned to the master but has on board
a host of Chinese curiosities. She is built OF
teak wood, one hundred and fifty feet long,
twenty five feet beam, and twelve feet depth
of hold. Her cabin is thirty feet long, ten
and a half high, and twenty-three feet wide
Her rudder is not hung on p%intles, but suspen-
ded in a curious fashion by too cables, made OF
rattan or bamboo; it weighs seven tons and is
hoisted or lowered as OCCASION requires its inn
mersion being twenty-three feet when down
and twelve when up, The cabin is decorated
with a host of painted birds, tigers and other
animals. She has an idol set up on board rep
resenting a woman having ten pairs of arms
and ornamented with flowers, beads, rings,
and a variety of trinkets.
Her crew consist Of 90 Cinnamon and20 Eu-
ropeans. She has three upright masts with
latteen sails. Her stern is five feet higher than
that of a IA. She is built in the form Of a
whale boat, and there are two great eyes in
her bows. The captain represents her to be
a fine sea boat, sustaining herself we'll through
some severe weather.
The Keying is painted white with a blacS
waist as far az the foremost; then red to the
stem, She has nine ports on each side, which
are painted white, red and black. As she lies
now at anchor off the quarantine ground, the
Junk has cost $4,000.
