TIE DUTcHMAs ON GUARD.--A rich joke is re- lated, by of the return volunteers to this place, of Col Wynkoop and German, who is private in his regiment. It seems that at the time they were eneamped at BatonI nIRouge, near New Orleans, the Colonel had been informed that some of the sen tinels on guard, were in the habit of passing men over the lines after night fal and thereby dsobey ing the rules and regulations of camp. h order to test their fidelity. he disguised himself and at about i2 o'clock at night, made the adventure 10 the different posts. The first sentinel he met with. was the volunteer who relates the affair. and he. cognizing the Colonel. did not allow him to pass After trying several others, and meeting with no better success, he came up 10 an cid Dutchman, who, by the by, spoke very bad English, when the following occurred;
 .'l want 10 enter camp" said the Colonel
 "Vat am de pash vort!" responded the German.
 ''Gen. Jackson.'
 'Dat ish not de man."
 "Monterey."
 "Dat ishn't him too"
 "Well then, it is Washington
 "No. he am not de t,--an fl you can DO shay SheneIei Taylor. you can no pash here, by dsm't''
 Alter the pcor fellow had 'iet the cat out of the bag" the Colonel informed him of his bluader, and had him placed on guard twenty-iour hours longer, in order to prevent repetition of such mistakes .4atrdeiie Gazette.

4 Laurel for Gen. Taylor's Wreath.

When the gallant Taylor visits the North, we presume one of the first places he will reach will be the home of those good "Whigs,' Webster and Davis: the former of whom declared all aurels won in this dishonored, and the latter of whom voted against granting reinforcements to the army in June, of lS46. While there we presume ef- fort will bc made to weave the following into the garland on his brow. 1t Is from the pen of the Editor of tho Boston Csw.
 "We do believe that General Taylor IS 'one of those humane butchers who follow the trade of war from brutal love for its excitemens;' or what is worse, FROM LOVE FOR THE MONEY WHICH HE GETS FOR HIS SERV!G Es-THE PRICE OFHuMAN BLOOD. 50 hrfrom know. ing that this is not h,s character, we have never heard anything oe him, tha, could, in the least de- gree, weaken lhs impression,

BY c. s.

Great Ruier of the realms on high
 The glory of the earth is thine, Whose seas reflect the starry sky,
 Whose cliffs eternal sunwsrd shine. Far as adventurous man has tried To SCOUT the land or stem the tide; Far as the human eye can see- Belongs, At Bountiful, to Thee The daily sun and nightly moon,
 That gild the ltving world below; The glimmering stars in leafy June,
 And northern lights on northern snow Still ceaselessIy thy power proclaim Still glory is thy glorious name: Forever offering praise to Thee, In notes of spheTic harmony, But far beyond the glories here
 That our regardless eyes behold Shall new heaven in light appear,
 With peariy gates and streets oi gold. There white robed glancing souls shall giean Beneath the trees of Edens stream; There, kneeiing by the glassy sea. \ Shall sing their ransomed songs to Tee.

The N. o. National, violeat whig paper, which, however, in mistaken devotion to Gen. Tavlor, has of late become very abusive of Gen. Scott com ments with high wrought indignation upon the Mexican Secretary of State for having pronounced the present war begun ia disregard of Meriean rtghis, and upon Gen. Scott for not having at once refused to receive such insulting communca- ton.
 Now the above expression is mild milk com pared to the denunciatons the way whig papers and orators every day using, and it is certainly curious to that whig patriotism is only aroused when our enemies venture to re-echo some of their own elegant language.-Viekbarg Sentinel.

O. The pecuniary disasters in England are of the most gloomy character. A deputation from Liverpool waited on Lord John Russell 10 know if there was any hope of aid from the government When government undertakes to manage the cur reney and business of country, disasters must fol- low. and 1t seems only reasonable that the quacks who have done the mischief should prov le the reme- dy. But quackery is now in quandary. It prom ises no aid If the government of England had let currency, trade, and commerce alone the trouble would not have come which now almost threatens the existence of society, The Times, the organ of all the quackeIy. thus disconrses

That deficiency is hardly supplied and in supplying Ii SO far We have both to part with our gold, and put ourselves in debt to the world This IS being poor In very plain sense.
