The Immigration Law-What 10 IL f-What
do our Legislators Intend to do with 1t 2

Legislatures, as well as individuals, frequently
exhibit a amentabe want of knowledge and
experience in matters that children, even, are pre-
sumed to be acquainted with. We have an in
stance Of this in some recent proceedings Of the
Legislature of this State, in regard to the bonding
and taxing of emgrants arriving at the port OF
New York, which we are confident will furnish
pretty strong evidence that the gentleman who in
troduced it was either determined to strike a
severe blow at this city, or is lamentably ignorant
of the matter that he desired to legisate upon.
The bill which this legislator introduced, for the
purpose Of relieving the city and State Of New
York from the burden Of supporting pauper
emgrants, imposes tax OF one dollar a
head, as Communication fee, on every
emigrant arriving at this port, and also re-
quires bond with two sureties, each of whom
must justify in the sum Of five hundred dollars,
over and above all previous bonds, conditioned
for the support Of the aged, infrm, decrepid and
such as are likely to become permanent charge
upon the city, such bonds to extend to every
county and town in the State, and last in each
case, we believe, for ten years.
II this is not a specimen OF what is called wild
legislation, then we never saw or heard of one.
This bill is no doubt predcated on the foolish and
silly report that has been published pretty largely
in the newspapers here and in the other parts oil
the State to the effect that the aims house of this
city is filed to OVERLOOKING with a mass oil foreign
paupers, whose support is a serious tax on ouI
100 highly taxed citizens. II it is based on this
report, it rests on very shallow foundation. In

The BATTLE OF SALTLLo. I've are of opin-
ion, after looking closely at the accounts, that
the reported battle between Sana Annals forces
andGeneral Taylor, has not come off. If such
battle has been fought, the result will have been
one of victory to General Taylor, of course; but
we confident no engagement, to the extent
mentioned, at least, has taken place.
BY the last accounts, General Taylor had
taken up position eighteen miles south of Sal
tillo he must, therefore have retreated from that
station to Satillo, and thence to Monterey, prr-
sued by Santa Annals forces Such a retreat
never would have been undertaken by General
Taylor. 1t must, necessarily, have been disas-
trous; because it would have been entered upon
under the impression that his force was incom-
petent to protect Sato against the forces of
Santa Anna. General Taylor never would have
allowed himself TO entertain such an impression;
especially without being previously defeated.
This, the intelligence gives us reason to be-
leve. The retreat in question, therefore, cannot
with probability of reason, have been made by
him.
AS the accounts state the battle to have beer
fought between Salto and Monterey, and that i
was won by General Taylor falling upon the
weakened centre Of Santa Anna, Gen. Taylor
must not only have retreated from Saltillo wthou
cause, but Santa Annals army must have hat
room TO be in line order of battle in the narrow
passes between Monterey and Salhllo; an impos
sible circumstance, from the nature of the grount
between those places.
The impossibility that General Taylor will hav,
retreated before an enemy that had not defeated
him, and the other impossbiity that the battle
was won by encountering the centre of the Mex
lean army in defile road, proves the battle to b,
a mere rumor.
1t is not at all unlikely that the report OF sucl
a battle has originated with the Mexicans, as
ruse to draw attention from some point where
rs intended they shall appear in force.
It may be possible that il is part of Gen. Scott
plan to have Cen Taylor fall back upon Mon
