iousy asking the shove question. Are Gems Scot, and
Taylor to be superseded land II So who is succeed
lhem II will be by reference to the list Of executive
appointments that Thomas Hart Benton has been nominal.
ed by the President, and confirmed by the Senate,
Major General in the army. Ii is well known that Mr.
Bentons imperous spr, will brook superior aud
sequeny If he joins the army ALL it will be command
erinche The fact Of his appointment then, affords pref
" conclusive evidence that the President intends dis.
grace experienced and faithful Generals ia the
Geld by placing them officer inferior in rank, with
no military experience except that acquired in fight
aud duel with Gen Jackson, and other respects
tally unqualified take command Of the army Mexico
is James X. Polk himself! There four officers
in active service who superior in rank to Major
General Benton viz Scott, Taylor, Butler and Patterson
any Of whom is infinitely better qualified to conduct the
war than is Major General Benton The question will be
asked then, why this change The al hand 4
such should make the Democratic party blush
with shame for the contemplate weakness Of the man
whom they have placed in The high official position he now
occupies The only crime Of which Generals Scott and
Taylor guiy s that they have always been, and are
now firm and consistent wnios, Mr. Wick Of Indiana, a
of the Executive, said in the House Of
Representatives the other day
'Mr Chairman the question Of supplies is not the only
subject upon which the President has deserted by his
party this floor during the present session. IA an early
day he called upon Prorde by lao for the appointment

This language is sufficiently explicit and there is dan
ger Of installing its true meaning 1.-THE command Of the
army given to Gen Benton, it will be because Scott
Taylor Wigs, and for other The country
has the fullest confidence in The military experience and
skill Of both these Generals Unlike MIR Benton, they

The schooner Cora arrived at New Orleans on

Of prospect Of an action at Salilo is confirmed
All Of Gen Taylor's ouipos,s said TO have been
driven in and an attack, If made at all was expect
ed during the first days Of February
Gen. Taylot's command at Saltilio would exceed
six thousand men. Many believed that when the
Mexicans found him in such force, the idea Of an
attack would be abandoned.
Very many officers were still Of opinion ih1tSan-
ia Anna medtaled no serious blow in that quarter,
and that the movement was but lent and that he
will lead the main body Of his forces 10 Vera Cruz
Rumors have reached New Orleans BY this arri-
val that general engagement had taken place.
The Picayune attaches no credit to them.
Much apprehension was felt at Malamoras Of an
attack BY Gen Urea, who is understood 10 be on
this side OF the Mountains with four thousand men,
two thousand OF them not to be surpassed by any
in the Mexican service; the remainder are Ran

Col. Drake, commanding at Maiamoras, baspro-
yided muskets and ammunition for citizens in case
of an attack and had sent TO Point Isabel for several
pieces Of ordnance.
