The Executive and the Army.
Sine thr pul,Iica.ion Of Gen. Taylor's hitter 10
Grn. Gaines. which We copied in our last. the
R:sr pepstmcnt has issued. by the direction Of
che President. = L" Genera. orier." rcvi'ins one
Of the Army Regulations which had never bcsn
enforced, and b, di.use hid in fact become obso-
Ie,., and which Was no. included among those
published in 1871. This regulation strictly for
bids oil private le,.es reports relative TO militia
~ operations; and further provides that any Of.
keer found guilty u Masking such report for pub
lication, without special permission, or Of placing
writing beyond his conuOl. 80 thu, il finds its way
to the press within one month siier the terinins-
ton Of the campaign to which Il relates shall be
dismissed from the service"
The National ln,elligenoer, very correctly we
think, looks upon this General Order as having
direct reference 10 Gen. Taylor, considering The
regency Of the fact Of the publication Of his letter
and js.sly rsm.rks that ifs .Decf :. mat Of "a
most leio legislation; proceeding directly against
the spirit Of liberty, aud recognized by the or
s.nie law Of the republic"
We are beginning to suspect that the rumor
from Washington, that the Administration look
upon Gen. Tsylot's brillian, successes with jea
lous eve, are not without foundation. This 1e
neral Order, the proposition for q Lieutenant 1e
neral TO supersedc Generals Scott and Taylor u
the command, and the recent contemplate s,tacl
upon Gen. Taylor in the House Of Represents
,ivss nv Thompson and fickln. as well I" sh
action Of the Democratic majority in the Housc o.
The resolution Of thanks for his services at Nor
t.rey, are indications too strong not to he unde
stood. We pity the weakness which promp
,hi. course; and would say to the Administrator
that il they are anxious To pursue COURSE Nh''
will most certainly PROSTATE their party, and mo
rfectually cnbarsss the war with Mexico Al
give al aid and comfort" To the enemy, let the
carry out their designs against those tired soldlc
lTnIor and Scott by supcrscding them vi
politicrl Generals, and il will he accomplished
their hearts content. General Taslo brlllla
.ucccss. notwithstanding his many difficulties, I
strongly a,ics,s his ability for the carpet heroe
al Washington. ty their criticisms TO succeed
shaking the eontid.'nce reposcd in him by
people.
