GES. TAYLOR CoMINo-Iti is understood, says the
Union OF the 9th inst, that Gen. Taylor--who has
been absent from his family and private business fol-
more than two years and half and during the whole
of that time has been engaged in the most important
and arduous duties-has asked for leave of absence
to return TO the United States for six months His
letter to that effect was received by the Adutant Ge-
nerul yesterday evening in the course Of which,
Gen Taylor states that he thinks, in consequence OF
the present character OF the war, his services may
not be wanted at this time. He purposes to remove
10 Maamoras early this month, where he awaits the
Of the government, and expresses desire to
be In New Orleans by the LIST of December. We I'M
derstand the leave of absence has been granted to
him; and we have no doubt that, if events should
arise to call for his services that frontier he will
fly to place himself at the head Of his gallant army

TIE SENATORIAL Wan IN ALABAMA.-The war
in this State says the Mobile Tribune in regard to
the United States Senator, seems to be wnxlng warm.
Heretofore It has been confined to,a simple contest
between the friends Of Messrs Lewis and King, with
ont personal assaults either. A wpfer in the CO.
lumns of our good neighbour the Register, howev-
er, has begun to changc these tactics, and makes
serious attack on Mr. Lews's party, not political,
consistency. The argument used Is, that this gen
tleman did not vote the resolution to expe Mr..
Richie from the United States Senate These party
drill mnrtinets would make perfect machines Of men

Col. BrNroN AND THE Wharf.-The Louis.
vile Journal, in. noticing the correspon-
dence of the Baltimore American, which
we copied yesterday, makes the following
statement. How far the inference may be
justified, time will prove:
1t is certain that Mr.. Benton is preparing him
self for terrific attack upon the Administration
next winter in the Senate chamber. AT town
in the interior OF Kentucky, few days ago, he
got into conversation upon the subject oil the
Mexican war, and became immensely excited,
perfectly infurated. He said that an opportunity
had been passed by Of making an advantageous
and honorable peace, and, that he could show
the fact and would show it. As for the whole
management of the war, he averred that It had
been utterly disgraceful He stated that he
should go to Washington and make one speech
upon the subject, only one, and, that it would be
the greatest speech Of his life, and he was will.
ing that it should be the last. In speaking OF the
Administration, his. language barely, il at all.
fell short Of downright cursing. His wra!hful
defamation lasted full hour.
Thus is Mr.. Polk rewarded for his disgraceful
attempt to make Mr.. Benton lieutenant general
and to place in his hands the whole power Of
peace and war, and thus does he deserve 10 be
rewarded.

have gained in the Congressmen-thus
