The New Orleans Bulletin" referring to the author
ty reported to be given General Taylor to send two
regiments from his command 10 Vera Cruz says: We
have now no doubt but that General Taylor will carry
out his previous intention of resgnng the command and
will return to the United States in November if moi
sooner"
In an article in the National Intelligencer' of this
morning. extracted from the New York Express" OF
Saturday, we find the following sentence: "When in
pursuance of his General Scotts) declared determine
ton he chose to remain at the post of duty command
ern-chef of the army rather than expose himself and
the cause of his country to fire in the rear, well as
TO "a fire in 'front.'" &c., &c
From these extracts is led to infer that the per-
Torrance of duty on the part of these general officers
matter left entirely to their discretion, and be
regulated according to their taste, whim, caprice
Whatever may be the views entertained by the writers Of
these articles believe there is but opinion in the
army in respect the first duty Of soldier and that
obedience to orders. Whether any general than
any private soldier can, at his will and pleasure re-
sign command which has been conferred upon him by
higher authority, may choose to remain at post
fded to him by superior, doubt not, be prompt
" answered by the youngest subatern in the service

laws Of the land is the President Of the United States

Benjamin B. Thurson in the western district by plu-
raiy of II, and clear majority of the two Other
candidates Ii claims the election "vlcory whg-
cry proper the law and order gamaton abotonsm
and we may add hunkerism." The Herald says:
1t rebuke in thundertones of the Agcrine spirit

cpled who freely offered and expended their money
corrupt voters 1t is signal, unmistakabe rebuke

bases means TO disgrace country, in the hope of dis
grazing President The mportance of this victory
not be fully reckoned at the present moment 1t may, well
followed up by friends elsewhere prevent wing

But this is ALL The election of Mr.. Thurston gives

They left their fields and their workshops for the sake OF

met, and fought, and conquered the party which had
tainted them with former defeats, and dared them to
another struggle.
We are proud too because proud of THE who
has been elected In becoming candidate he sacrificed
his personal interests and ncnation TO crafty the wishes
of his party Once in good faith he declined the nominal
his districts; and he accepted it only when he
assured every hope of the partys depended

democracy he stood up in his manhood and bravely
brea sted the storm of opposition We proud of such

native country very young man, and has returned IN
fine health, with increased regulations intellect i'm
proved by travel and with his love of country increased
and exalted by comparison with the political institu-
tons of Europe.
John Randolph Clay is native Of Philadelphia The
citizens of Richmond had the pleasure of seeing among
them his accomplished father then member of Con-
gress, the spring of 1904, having visited that town
for the purpose of contributing his assistance and
experience to the organization of the Bank of Vir
GINA His son, John Randolph Clay, accompanied Mr.
John Randolph to St Petersburg in 1929 as secre-
tary of legation and few weeks afterwards left
there BY Mr. in charge Of the mission, in which he
(Mr c. continued for more than two years. He
NAMED at the same secretary OF legation to Mr.
Buchanan and afterwards to Mr. Wilkins, until 1888
1885, when he was transferred to Vienna There he re-
manned as secretary of legation to Messrs Muhenberg

of the retirement of Mr. Todd to the arrival OF Mr. nger

the present administration and confirmed charge daares

no doubt that the talent and the diplomatic knowledge OF
Mr. Clay will remove any little embarrassments
