General Taylor.

/
Mn EpiroR;
AZ the character of this brave officer was
somewhat rudely sssailed in your paper oil
week before last. by an anonymous scribbler
over the signature of u. T. Nj II seems to
be but an &C, of justice in those who know the
falsi,y Of the charges, TO give them fla, con-
uadciion. Major Hooe, VINO has been per-
sonslly acquainted with General Taylor fol-
many years--hss served with him 10 the army,
and fought with him on the Rio Grande, says
that the old Hero. though not favored IN his
youth with wha, is called a classical education,
10 nevertheless good scholar, and that he
writes his own letters, which amply show his
scholarship. The Major also says that the
General seldom uses profane language. and
never unless under some special and sudden
excitement Others here who knew him we'll,
say thar his prefanity--if |, may be 90 called
consisted only 10 these words-when greatly
provoked he would say-"you holy son OF a
b-h;" which epithe, he might, possibly, ap-
ply to ~. T. M" If he should happen to see
him soon after reading his scandalous letter.
Whether the old General when young, went
barefoot or shod, care not, and i. would be
difficult to prove that Cincinnatus when on
his farm wore boots and spurs. Blu, one
thing 10 certain. Gen. Taylor is what the ins,i-
tu,ions of our country are calculated to pro.
duce--a sslfmade man of the mobiles. kind
and II is the glory Of our republican inssi'u'
,ions. that ,hey tend to develops talent, which
otherwise nigh, never be known. and among
other noble evidences Of this truth, we have
the Hero Of Monterey. But wha, American,
who is worthy Of the name. whether white,
black, or red. would ever dream Of dispars'
ging the chsrac ter of these noble specimens oil
human matters. because, fOrsoo,h, they had not
been drilled under the rule and rod Of classi.
cal school, aud came out learned duncesi--
Possibly il Gen. Taylor had epjoyed such ad'
yan,sges, he nigh, have come cut Of school as
crazy as some others have done.
Whether Gen. Taylor ever attended church,
o. court. know not. But enc thing is moral.
" certain, il he had done 90, and even been as
bgoisd aud supsrs,iliOus as some others who
assume to be leaders 10 such matters, and had

MINERAL fOINT, FeD- lfth, iO7H
+. DEAR SIR:-As any information relating to
the course intended TO be pursued By the Gov
eminent, in the sale Of the Mineral Lands in
Wisconsin. will doubtless be interesting and
acceptable to your readers. beg leave 10 say,
ina, by a letter from Francis ]. Dunn, Esq,
who is now. and has been for some time past.
engaged at Washington. in explaining the trne
situation of our land claims and entries. TO the
proper authorities there) it appears tina. the
committee 10 whom this subject was referred,
by an act of Congress of the last session. have
adopted a series of rules to govern 10 the
choice of those lands which are 10 be offered
for sale at Mineral Point in May next.
The 18th Of those rules, is that which will
most directly affect the greater portion of the
entries in the counties Of Iowa and Grant. Il
is as follows: "All bona tide entries at pri
va,e sale allowed a. Mineral Point, Wisconsin
and fully paid for, of lands which were no
ascertained or reported 10 contain lead minera
until after the date of said entries, where ths
lands are not righ,fully claimed by another.
This rule defines in what cases patents shall
issue for lands heretofore entered, but To-
which the patents have not been issued.
1t will, apprehend, dispose Of the question
Of reservation previous 10 sale, and confirm
all entries 10 which fraud was no! praciised.
| Mr.. Dunn is using every effort TO obtain ;
modification Of the above rule, so that i. may
exclude from confirmation. only those entries
10 which actual (and not eonstructire) franc
was committed. For this purpose he has pre-
pared and submitted 10 the Attorney Genera
a written argument, on the subject; but he hst
not, at the date Of his last letter, gained any
definite information as 10 the result. He is
however, sanguine.
If such lands as have been entered by means
Of actual fraud, and 10 violation of the just
claims of others were again sold. there would
be but few complaints heard in the mines.
Yours, &c.
