of General TAYLOR in regard to his continuance In
the army, and his forward movement, as follows
The gentleman who communicated to US the
statement published above, had it from the Generals
: word of mouth Who is the Nationals authority
for its denial if denial it be! We have now, how
ever, ourselves to make counter-statement to both
that Of our own and the National. General Taylor
told gentleman, who conversed with him four days
subsequently to the departure of Captain Pike from
Monterey, that he had Just received advces from
Washington, by which he was satisfied that the gov
ernmcnt doing all it could to furnish him with
the necessary men and means to enable him to ad-
advance on San Luis Potosi; that he felt assured,
enough of both would shortly arrive; and that, as
soon as they did arrive, he determined to march
forward. This may appear rather abrupt change
of purpose; but with that we have nothing to do
the facts in both instances are as we have stated
them.

MANUSCRIPTS OF JUNIUs.-A gentleman in England
writing TO his friend in this country, says the National
Inteigsncer, states that Mr.. WooDEALL has announ-
ced his READINGS to dispose of several manuscripts of
this famous unknown. The manuscripts consist of
some sxty-two private letters addressed to Mr.. WooD
FALL, the dedication and preface to the original
edition of the letters, and the clean proof sheets of the
greater part of the original edition, with
script. The whole are valued at five hundred pounds
sterling. This partial publicity of the manuscripts
and of these notes, will probably revive the long
urged inquiry as to the authorship of the letters.

The Boston Courier, strong wing abolition news
paper, is violently opposed to the nomination of Gen.
Taylor for the Presidency. In a late number it
sneeringly asks 'has Gen. Taylor done anything de-
serving of thanks Z" and then adds Ale has fought
WELL He has exposed his person. But in what
cause! In unjust and inhunan Through
him injustice has trumphed." He concludes long
and bitter article by saying
''lf we thank Gen. Taylor what shall be done for
Gen. Scott He has killed seven hundred women
and children Should he not be thanked also 1t is
to be hoped that the time is at hand, when true
lustre can be derived from anything wrong. Most
certainly Miss Dix who, in the spirit of exalted self
sacrifice at great personal inconvenience, has
clled through the Western States carrying comfort to
poor prisoners. deserves thanks from her country far
more than Taylor. She is the greater hero.'

OEFConsderable fuss has been made by the papers
about the arrest at Havana, recently. of two Amer
lean officers of Marines for an alleged violation of
the quarantine laws Of the Island. The Washington
Union, after stating the circumstances that led to
their arrest, says:
There seems to be nothing in the case which would
justify complaint of the conduct of Gen. O'DOnne
who, we beg leave TO say, has been distinguished by
bis justice and kindness towards the citizens of the
United States These young gentlemen did not de-
sign to violate the quarantine laws-that is very
clear they endeavored to avoid doing so; but for
want of proper information they did violate these
uatons, and would to have been better to pay
the penalty and left their application for its remission
in the hands of the consul, and gone with the trans
port in execution of the orders of their government
than to attempt to make national question with
neghbors out of such facts.
