have right 70 know why the very soul, the
animaiing spirit ofihe war on the part of Mex
leo was placed, by their executive, in position
to make the war so long and costly thewid-
ows and children of the slain have solemn
claim to know why the shedding of SO much

ces Of every kind, have given to the war char

The difference between General Taylor and

The difference between General Taylor and
General Scott appears to be, that one is re-
garded as a citizen soldier, whilst the other is
looked upon as military man and nothing
but military man. The plain, uppretending,
republican bearing Of General Taylor is in per-
feet keeping with the simplicity Of our po-
pular observation-disclosures it is that we hear
him called by familiar names, such as
/" Old Zack," Rough and Ready" &C.,
while no one ever thinks of General Scott by
any other titles than those that belong TO an Of
6cer Of high rank and distinguished merit.
General Taylor has mingled with his fellow
citizens all his life, on the most friendly footing,
while General SCOTS associations have been
those of etiquette. In a word, Gen. Taylor is
loped as man, whilst his rival is esteemed
and respected as the head of the army Of the
United States; the former takes hold of the
hearts, whilst the latter only touches the hands
of those around him.

LOR FOR THE PRESIDENCY.

LUX FOR The PRESIDEJNCY.
AT meeting Of the Wings in Charlotte
on Monday the Sd of May (court day., Mr.
VIM. B. Green was called to the chair, and
Mr.. Charles. H. Balksdale was appointed
Secretary.
The following preamble and resolutions
were presented by Mr.. Thomas T. Boulder,
and unanimously adopted.
Wheareas we, the Wings of Charlotte, are
fully IMPRESSED with the Importance Of act
ing without the Intervention Of caucuses or
national conventions, in selecting candi-,
date for the Presidency the ensuing term,
and believe that General Taylor combines
within himself all the elements Of true
greatness; and whereas, we deem it fit and
proper torebuke the usurpations Of the Pre-
sident, with the very instrument wherewith
he has SO faithlessly sought to reap glory
for himself, at the expense ofthe blood and
treasure Of the people, and Of the integrity
Of the constitution; and whereas, we feel in
idignant that one in so exalted position as
the President Of these U. States, honored
by the confidence Of his countrymen with
the high trust Of his conntry's good, should
ungenerously use the power, the patronage
and the influence Of his station, in theigno-
BILE effort to mar the fame Of Taylor, whose
track ofglorious light fastens all eyes and
hearts upon him; therefore.
Resolved, That we will, with all our
soul and strength support Zachary Taylor
as candidate for the Presidency and will
use all just and honorable means to insure
his election in November l84S.
Resolved, that the Wing papers Of Rich
mond and Lynchburg be requested to pub
fish these proceedings.

RUMORS! RUMORSl ~
GENERAL SCOTT DEFEATED BY
SANTA Anal!

Our city was thrown into commotion TO-
day, about noon, by report that Geographic
despatch had been received from FredeIicks
burg, by The Government, giving the intell-
gence that Gen. Scott had gone to Puebla, and
there, in desperate and long fought battle
with the enemy, under Santa Anna, had been
beaten with terrible loss in killed, and that
he had fallen back on Jalapa, where he was
surrounded by whole masses of the Mex
lean people that the enemy had seized upon
the road from Jalapa to Vera Cruz, and that
Gen. Scott had determined to cut his way
through to the sea-coast or be slain in the
attempt In short time the rumor assumed
another shape, viz: that Scott, finding his rear
cut off, was fighting his way through oppos-
ing columns Of the nemy with great despera-
ton. The report went even so far as to give
the number Of killed on our side TO be 5000,
and the enemy's to be 10000.
Our punctual correspondent at Fredericks-
burg had sent his Geographic despatch at the
usual hour, viz. halfpast IL o'clock-and he
stated that there was no further news from the
seat Of war. Here il is
