From Gen Taylor's Line.-The New
Orleans Bulletin publishes the following let
ter from Ceralvo, dated September 10, l847:
Any communications from Mexico know
are sought for, but little of the interest fet is
directed to this line, which is now not to ad.
vance. Colonel Tbbatts, with six companies
of the 10th, garrison, Monterey. Lieutenant
Col. Webb is in command of this post with
four companies of the 10Th, viz: Capt. Gan
ards, CAPT. Smiths, Capt. Bills and Lieut..
Anderson's, formerly Capt. Hendricks Capt.
Duncan's company Of Ohio Mounted Volun-
teers, and Captain Reeds Texas Cavalry or
Rangers. consider this force a very effec-
tive one, to put down the guerilla and robber
parties in this neighborhood, which is consid-
cred their headquarters.
The command is in good health; the coun-
try here is well watered, and think as heal.
thy as any part of Mexico. Lieut.. Col Fay,
10Th regiment, commands Camargo, and Col.
Temple, with part of his regiment in at
Matamoras. Confidence is being restored
among the citizens since the Massachusetts
volunteers left here. Their outrageous con-
duct had driven all the best families out Of
the town, and from the ranches in its vicinity;
they are now returning, as Col. Webb suffers
no depreciation to be committed by men under
his command, nor by those who pass through
the country:

The Brookville [Ia.l American, a whig
paper, thus speaks Of the Mexican portions of
whig editors in ONO:
"We feel truly sorry for all the whig edi-
tors in Ohio, that live within 40 miles of
Lebanon. Their eyes have been dazzeled
with bright and meteor blaze of Corwin's ell
oquence, until they have been led into politi-
cal swamps and morasses. There thew are
too proud to return to the highway, and too
cowardly to go to the full length of the road
they have taken. They consequently, in this
dilemma, strike right and left, letting their
blows fall upon friend or foe like drunken
man in his ravings."

The following from the Brookville A
best hit Of the season. We commend II
to the wlig editors Of the Union, and ask
the American to shit them again:"
"a SCENE OF Horror The execution
of the notorious Riley and his seventy as.
sociates by Gen. Scott, as noted in our
news from Mexico, must have been
scene Of horror. Seventy men executed
at one time tor desertion from the army
and standard Of their country! They
were taken fighting against their own
country, and had forfeited their lives and
the law was righlfuly and rigIdly execnt'
ed. Have we not some among us who
sympathise with these seventy betrayers
oflher country? And although we would
no, abrdge the freedom Of opinion, yet we
believe we have men among us who are
doing us more injury, and who are as much
trai ors al heart as Riley and his associ
ates, but have not sufficient courage iu
carry out their treason"
The American is right. There are some
"amoDg ns who are doing us more injury
says the JackSonlan, than the notorious
Riley and his companions in lnfaIny. Men
whose task is to hesp censure upon their
own government, TO decry the country s
cause. and administer "aII and comfort
to our treachefons enemy, Yes. we blush
to confess il, but truth compels us TO say
