GEN. TAYLOR AND THE wHrGs.

h every letter which tho old hero has written, and he teiis us that his correspondence has kept him busy, he utterly discaims all attention of eser becoming the candidate. of either the whig or Democratic party. The precipitate haste with which many of the whis prints nominated him for the Presidency, the eoaxing and soit.soapfng so eunningy used by others has failed to make him the tool by which they might ride Into power. His ohstnacy and non-committalism. the coolacss with which he receives all their invitations aud offers sf snprots. has dampened not ittie the ardor wit which they first proclaimed his aame for the Pres- dency. He has been entirely repudiated by some, ana othcss seem all at once 10 reme mber that there were formerly principles and land marks of the whig party which they were bound ts adhere to, and maintain by the election of proper men, Of the latter class is the Editor of tbe Richmond Va. Times ! whig who writes to his own raper letter from which the following is an extract:
 aMaay persons fnsd ama,g Aem .Mr. Bolts, fae represeaiatipe elect from ths Rich nond Disiricf,J give the letter the eonsuuc- ton attsched t1 it in the s'rnmes of Friday last, understanding Gen. Taylor to declare distinctly that in 10 case, no matter how he may be nominated, wih he consent to be- come the candidate of any party, or, in other words, of the whig party; that IS, he refuses to be elected as whig, or to seek the sup port of the whigs upon the ground of his approving their principles. Those who view the letter in this light say that if Cen.

They first made their appearance in Arkansas CO.,, on the farm of Mr. F. NorReBg, des.roying about one hait of his crop. About ten days alter their attack on Mr. N. they appeared simultaneously on various farms in Jefferson, those of Gen. BYRD and Judge RoANE, suC tering the worst. Mr. HiNEs, an experienced cotton grower, is of opinion that on the plan talon oi which he has charge, not single boil will mature.
