with 200 mounted volunteers, and Capt Arm
strong with 100, went out on the morning Of
the 18th inst, by order of Maj Gen. Patterson,
to scour the country and rid it of those marau-
ding robbers, who under the guise Of patriotism,
intest it to the detriment of the Mexicans as
well as the Americans. According to the or
ders Of Maj. Gen. Patterson, Capt. Truett went
to the right of the city in a norihwesterly di-
%rection until he struck the Orizaba road, which
he was to follow turning to the left, while Capt
Armstrong wac to proceed to the left of the
city in a south-westerly direction until he
struck the same road, which he was to follow
turning to the right. The two detachments
were to march with fankers until they met and
it will be seen by the arrangement, that any
party, fleeing from either of them, would run a
risk Of being encountered by the other.
Capt. Truett marched by Santa Fe and Mat
agordera, he found in various places large guam
titles of arms and ammunition which he either
destroyed or carried away, and succeeded in
killing six guerrilleros, Capt. Armstrong went
to Medelin, where there were a great number
Of guerrilleros, but they all made their escape,
with the exception Of one who was killed
Here he found a large lot of arms and ammuni
ton, with some of the clothing Of the Ameli
can soldiers of which he destroyed the create
part and carried the remainder away. He re
manned at Medelin all night, recrossed the riv
er early next morning, and marched in the di
%rection of the Orizaba road. He proceeded
however, but a short distance in the direction
when he came across the trail of a number O
shod horses, he Immediately turned in the di
%rection Of the trail, and following the track
soon arrived at a number of ranches whic
were all crowded with guorrilleros. The voI
%unteers charged upon them with their usui
impetuosity, driving them away from ever
rancho with much slaughter. Six bodies wei
counted lying dead in one yard. In these rar

Anecdote Of Lorenzo DOW.

A farmer came to Lorenzo one morning, as
he was preparing to preach before a large coun-
try audience, and said: Il am told you
know a sinner from his looks, and can tell
a thief from his countenance. Now, sir, !
have had an excellent axe stolen from me, and
and | shall be forever grateful if you will point
out to me The rascal who took it, as he will, ia
all probability be at the meeting to day, ludg.
ing from the crowds that are coming"
Lorenzo was not the man to deny the pos
session Of any wonderful faculty that the peo-
pie chose to ascribe to him; SO he told the far
mer that he would get him his axe,
Lorenzo mounted the pulpit, took out OF his
pocket a stone as big as his fist, laid it beside
the bible, and commenced the exercises OF the
day. His sermon was on the subject OF all the
sins montionedi in the d~ecaloguo, and he wenttor
to give proofs from history OF the retributiv'
Justice of Providence, in Furnishing in this lif'
transgfessors. "Murder will out,'' said he

Taylor Meeting on saturday,

Taylor Meeting on saturday.
At the appointed hour on Saturday for the
Taylor meeting, the large Hall Of the House Of
Representatives was filed 10 OVERLOOKING. It
being apparent hat the Hall would be entirely
insufficient to contain the crowd who were
present, the company repaired to the courtyard
below, where, on motion Of Mai. VIM. Lead
better, of Rutherford county, Maj. Alexander
Allison, Mayor Of the City, was called to the
Chair Col B. Peyton being then called for
took the stand, and in an able and eloquent
speech addressed the meeting. We do not re-
collect ever to to have observed q more atten-
tive audience. Col Peyton, addressed himself
to their reason and intelligence, proceeded I'd
vlndicate in the most triumphant manner the
position assumed and occupied by Gen. Taylor
in regard to the Presidency. The argument
advanced by him TO show that the honest mass
ofboth parties could rally to his support with
ont the slightest departure from their princi-
pies, and that in doing SO, they would promote
the interest Of the whole country, seemed to
US entirely conclusive. We iorbear to attempt
even a brief outline Of his eloquent remarks,
as we are not without The hope that he will
write them out for publication,
After Col. Peyton had concluded Judge VIM!
X, Tprner, of this place offered a preamble and
the following resolutions which were unani-
mously adopted.
Resolued, That this meeting cordially con-
ours in the nominations If Gen Zachary Tay-
Tor for the Presidency which have, heretofore
been made in public assemblies Of the people
in hisand other states Of the Union.
ResolUed, That we have entire coufdehce ii
the ability and discretion Of Gen. Taylor L
administer the executive department OF III,
Government skillfhlly and successfully, ant
that he will do 81, if elected, upon truly re
publican principles.
ResotUed, That we recommend to the friends
Of Gen. Taylor, in every county Of this State
and in every State Of the Unions to put him ii
nomination without waiting the result Of par

The sword of Gideon

The great Achilles Bonaparte of the Amer
lean Army, says the Richmond Wing, seems
to have raised a perfect storm of ridicule at
his expense, Fun is falling around him in a
shower, compared to which the shells and shot
of Cerro Gordo and Contreras were but as
thistle OF down. The Montgomery (Ala.)
Journal comes down upon Gideon after INC
following tanner: -Vieksburg Wing.
In times long past there was a mighty man Of
valor among the l%sraelites of the tribe of Man
nasseh, Gideon by name, who with his three
hundred men put to flight the whole host Of
the Midianites by the blowing Of his trumpet and
crying "lhc sword Of the Lord and Of Gideon."
II our modern Gideon, whose afix is Pillow
had been pushed up by the Chief Of the tribes
of Jonathan, to the use Of the self-same means
tor the accomplishment Of these or other ends
he could not more cffectually have reflected
the likeness of his (possible) prototype in the
matter Of his blowing. Farther than this the
analogy hoIdeth not. That the parallel may
seem the more striking we quote from the 9TH
chapter Of Judges, as follows;
"And he (G,deom) divided the three hundred
men into three companies, aud he put a trum-
pet in every mans hand. with empty pitchers
and lamps within the pitchers.
"And he said unto them, Look on me, and
do likewise; and behold, when ! come to the
outside of the camp, it shall be that as do, so

with him, came unto the outside ofthe camp
in the beginning Of the middle watch: and
they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers
that Were in their hands.

We published few days since, a letter from
a distinguished Wing member Of Congress il
a neighboring state, to a member Of Congress
in this state, on the subject Of General Taylor's
nomination for the Presidency. Below we
give another letter from another Wing Con-
gresham in a Western State to the same gem
tleman, on the subject, speaking very nearly
the same sentiments. 1t appears from this last
letter, that Gen. Taylor is regarded in the South
West, as the "inevitable" candidate of the
Wings, and such we have no doubt he is con-
sidered by the Wings Of the North and East
but they cannot muster the courage 10 say It,
and seem to prefer that the fact should deve-
lop itself without anybody becoming respon-
slble for it. General Taylor will not consider
himself the candidate OF the Wing party, be.
cause that would bind him wholly to theil
measures and men. But if they believe him
to be a Wing in feeling and the only candidate
that their votes could elect, there is no reason
why they should not give their votes to him
He can be elected without them, we believe
but if they act consistently, as they have no
done always, they will not neglect the oppor
tunity to elect a man known to be friendly u
them, because he willnot avow himself a viii!
and nothing else. No man worthy Of occupy
ing the presidential chair, could surrender him
self unreservedly to any party; and since MI
Clay has avowed that he will never again con
sent to be the candidate Of the Wings alone,
i, is most unreasonable in them to pretend to OF
iect to Gen. Taylor for doing the same thinl
I The writer Of the following letter, ~reiteratt
what has been repeatedly saidby the friends
s Gen. Taylor; viz: that he holds the getters u
! ana managers of the Mexican war in abho
renee, He has never denied this, nor write
! anything that seems to imply an approval
the measures of the Pold administrations
What more do the Wings want?
