GEN. TAYLOR IN FAVOR AT COURT.

The last number of the Union has the following
from correspondent:
The great and glorious superiority of American
vaior has been thoroughly demonstrated and con-
fir1ned by the news from the gallant Gen. Taylor
and his comparatively little army
Everybody rejoices over the goriolsly success
ful and almost astonishing achievement of Gen.
taylor, and no one more heartily than the Presi-
dent and Gov Marcy, as we have reason to know
the attempts Of certain federal leaders and news
papers 10 get up story of envy and jealousy on
their part towards the brave old man; to the con-
trary notwithstanding. The truth is, the success
and glory of the administration in the conduct Of
this Mexican war, has been, and is Unidentified so
closely with that of Cen Taylor, that all the arts
and inventions of the federalists who woud gladly
manufacture political capital out of the achieve
ments of brave soldier who in his heart despises
them, must defeat themselves. Gen. Taylor is
not, nor has he ever BEEN politician so far from
IL, that on more than one occasion, he has express
ed his dlsapprobation of the pursued by those
high military officers, who at tims, perhaps TO the
detIlment OF legitimate duty, have made known
their political aspirations tbro the medium Of let
tiers published far and wide in partisan political
newspapers"
1t is very gratifying to know that ''the President
and Gov. Marcy" heartily rejoice in Gen. Taylor's
victory. 'the attempts Of certain federal newspa-
pers TO- excite their envy "to the contrary n0twith-
standing" Their whole course towards Gen. Tay-
lor; the omission TO mention him in the Presidents
message--the attempt TO pass vote OF censure up
on him IN Congress-the repeated efforts of the
President TO place Lieut. General over his head.
the illumination of an old army order in regard to
the publication of lettcrs-these were ALL we sup
pose, the work Of the wicked federalsts, and the
administration and its supporters know no more
OF them than the babe unborn.
The administration Unidentified with Tayor's
glory! 1t always is, after a battel When mat
tiers are In doubt-when, from the vast dspropor-
ton of numbers, disaster and defeat are feared tel

ate Captain Bragg. Some miscreant placed
under the bed of the gallant soldier an

siles went through his bed without touching
him.

Letters from ST. Petersburgh, of the 18th

with the most terrible storm of wind and
rain ever experienced within the g memory
OF the oldest inhobitant.n Ii rained inces-
sanity for forty-eight hours, whilst the wind
blew with intense violence. The result OF
this visitation was the destruction of above
four hundred houses. At orr period fears
were entertained for the salty of the entire

sons apprehentled that the end of the world
was at hand.

We hear of some sales of Indian corn al

25 cents. Beef is retailed by the butchers,
at from 8 to cents. We hear of no sales
of pork yet made. Mast is very abundant,
and there is not much probability that pork
will sell higher this year than it sold last
year. Butter is scarce; as it always is at
this season of the year; and a good fresh ar

Eggs are rather plenty. The price in Lam

The LEGISLATURE.

There is in our Statute book, law
which fixes the first day in January of each
year, as the commencement of the political
year. That is the day on which civil of
icers in Wisconsin, commence their term of
service. Now we should like to know if
the provisions of that act, do not apply to
the members elect of the legislature? Ifso,
they have no more right to organize and at
tempt to act as a legislature, at the present
special session, than the members of the
Sewing Society have; and can no more
make valid provision for another Constitu
tional Convention, than conference of
wild geese could. But new members are
electedr' so are many new members of
Congress elected; but they cannot sit before
the 4th Of March next If Congress should
adjourn on the 18th of next january, and,
to meet any sudden emergency in our ma
tional affairs, the President should, the next
week, issue his proclamation for Congress to
assemble; who would assembIe' the present
Congress, of course; for the next Congress,
although elected, can have no organization,
no vitality, no political existence, as a legis-
tive body, until the g mon tongue of Timeo
rings ~ at midnight on the 4th of March,
in the halls Of the Capitol.
