From the National Intelligencer.

Gen. TAYLoR--We have received from
Dr.. Bronson, the gentleman TO whom il
was addressed. a copy of the following
letter from Gen. TAYLOR, with request
for its insertion in the Intelligencer-a re-
quest which we cheerfully and readily
comply with:
HEADQUARTERS Army OF OCCUPATION,
Camp near Monterey, August 10, 1S47.
SIR: Your letter OF the 18th ultmo, request.
ing Of me an exposition Of my views on The ques
tons Of national policy now at issue between
the political parties Of the United States, has
duly reached me.
| must take occasion to say that many Of my
letters, addressed TO gentlemen in the United
States in answer to similar inquiries, have al
ready been made public, and | had greatly hoped
that all persons interested had by this time,
obtained from them sufficiently accurate knowl.
subject. As it appears, however, that such is no.
the case, l deem it proper, in reply 10 your let
ter, distinctly TO repeat that am not before The
People Of the United States as a candidate for
the neat Presidency. 1t is my great desire to
return at the close Of this ,oar to the discharge
Of those professional duties, and to the enjoy.
ment Of those domestic pursuits from which
was called at its commencement, and for which
my tastes and education best fit me.
deem it but due to candor 10 state, at the
same time, that, il were called to the Presiden-
tial Chair by the general roice of the people,
without regard 10 their political differences, |
should deem it my duty to accept the office.
But while | freely avow my attachment to the
administrative policy OF our early Pr esidents,
desire it TO be understood that cannot submit,
even in thus accepting it, to the exaction Of any
other pledge as to the course should pursue
than that of discharging it's functions 10 the best
OF my ability, and strictly in accordance with
the requirements Of the constitution.
| have thus given you the circumstances under
which only can be induced to accept the high
and responsible office Of President OF the Unss
ted States. l need hardly add that cannot in
any case, permit myself TO be brought before
the people exclusively by any Of the political
parties that now SO unfortunately divide our
country, as their candidate for this Office.
1t affords me great pleasure, in conclusion,
fully to concur with you in your high and jus!
estimate OF the virtues, both of head and heart,
Of the distinguished citizens Messrs. CLAY,
WEBSTER, ADAMS, McDurFIE, CALHouN men.

the privilege of coting; but had been called
upon at the last Presidential election to do so, !

ELECTION RETURNS.

The returns from the recent elections.
as far as heard from, will be found below.
They are tolerably good, and we presume
are received with better relish by the
Wings than Polkites.
MARYLANp.-The wings have elected
FOUR members of Congress-the locos
tWo-reversing the position Of parties as
they stood in the last Congress.
The Senate stands l3 wings TO locos.
House, wing majority "a, and on joint bal
lot 80; thus ensuring the election of a
Wing United States Senator, to fill Mr..
Pearce's place, whose term expires in ls49.
The locos elected their candidate for
Governor, by some GOO or 700 majority.
OnIo.--The wings have carried both
branches of the Legislature-a most i'm
portant result, as the apportionment Of the
State is to be made at the winter session.
The majority in the Senate is ihree--a
thing which has not happened for several
years; majority in the House eight.
GEoReIA.-The locofoco candidate for
Governor is elected, by some 1900 majority.
In the House of Representatives, parties
are equally divided, and six counties TO be
heard from. In the Senate, the wings
have majority of one, and two districts to
hear from. The wings of the State claim
majority of five in the Legislature, when
all the counties are heard from. Two Sen
ators are to be elected by this Legislature
Mr.. Berrien's term having already expired
and Mr.. Colquitt's closing in March, 1910
PENNsYLvANIA.-But few returns, ano
they, as usual, favorable to the locos.

The guerrillas, il is said, have fortified the
heights Of Cerro Gordo. They are posted
there in large numbers, with several pieces Of
artillery, and are said to be commanded by Gen
Paroles.
Capt. Whites company OF Louisiana volun'
teers, and two companies of the 18th regl~
men', left Tampico Tor Vera Cruz on the sa'h
ult.
A letter from Tampico, Of the date of the
26tl, gives information very unfavorabc to the
safety Of Gen. Scott, if il be true. 1t is bub'
lshed IN La Pa,ru, and is, therefore, wholly
Mexican in its character. The letter, or an ex-
tract from it, says:
Gen. Scott has, in fact, attacked the city Of
Mexico, and has even succeeded in occupying
the citadel; but on the same day that the go-
rious event was achieved, he sustained sad,
if not a very serious disaster, for OF fifteen
hundred troops despatched TO plant the stripes
and stars on the palace Of the Montezumas,
not one escaped-all were massacreed by the
blood thirsty mob.
Santa Anna, ON being apprised OF the above
occurrence, rapidly advanced at the head OF
len thousand men and 25 pieces Of artillery,
when desperate encounter took place. When

tally lost, according to all accounts, and the
prevalent opinion is, unless he succeeds in re-.
pellng the presen. attack, the slightest reverse
will b. most destructive 10 our army; and, un-
less promp, aid and large rein(orcements are
despatched at once, apprehend his small
force will he at once annhilated.
By letter dated at Pachuca on the 10th
the particulars Of the attack upon Chapuliepec
of the wound Of Santa Anna, and the loss o
his horse, are confirmed; i. is also stated tina,
after carrying the ou,-posls, column of 500
men, with pieces Of artillery entered the city
as far as the palace, and blew open the doors
with their cannon, that the leader OF this fore,
was killed by person in the crowd, and lba
the rnbble Immediately fell upon and slaughter
ed the entire number. We doubt the truth o
this story, observes La Palria, but give it fol
what it is worth. It is probable an exaggera
ton Of the account given by our correspondent
elsewhere.

A few Of General Sterling Prices po.
li,ical friends rendered him a public dinner
during his visit to ST. Louis, which he de-
clined, being too busily engaged in making
his preparations to cross the plains. A
lengthy correspondence passed between
them, which has been published.
Grave charges have been made against
General Price, relative to his conduct in
Santa Fe, which he and his friends speak Of
in their correspondence, in general terms
but we see no disposition manifested tc
have them legally investigated, as has beer
suggested, and even courted--nay, dared
by those who made them. If he is MOI
guilty, why not make it appear. and make
his "slanderers," as they are termed, suffel
the penalty of their rashness?

ApvEnTIs1NG.--We are believers in ad-
vertising. If man has goods to sell, he
ought TO advertise; if he has property of
any kind to sell, he ought 10 advertise; if
the mechanic wants work to do, or sell
work already done, he ought to advertise;
if the lawyer wants clients, he ought TO ad-
vertise; if the doctor wants patients, he
ought TO advertise-and, of course, if the
printer wants 10 sell his paper, he ought 10
advertise: Therefore, as we print Neat,
Cheap (no. to say first rate) Paper we
advertise the public, that the "BooN's LICK
TINES" published at Fayette, is one of the
largest class of country newspapers, and
its columns are filled with the latest news,
War, Political and General. and is is
sued regularly, every Saturday, at the very
low price of Two DOLLARS per year.
Subscribers in this and the adjoining coun-
ties respectfully solicited.
To Adrertisers.--The regularity with
which our paper is issued, is an important
consideration to adver,isers-and when
inserted in it, we feel assured they will be
seen by as many readers, as if inserted in
any other paper on. Of ST. Louis.
