General TayIor's Good Things.

1fGeneral Taylor did not say the good things
that are asetibed to him. we must give the gen.
tiemen who have put them in his mouth, credit
for an admirable perception of what is becoming
In the mouth OF great commander. A collec.
tion Of all his reputed sayings in times of emer-
gency would be as hne an ''ana" as there is in
print any where His abrupt close of the confe-
renee with Ampudia. for instance, when treating
for the surrender of Monterey. is as much to the
purpose and as full of meaning as anything in
Welibgtons despaiches-"Sir hold you, and
your town. and your army, in the hollow of my
hand, and you know II. Tie conference is closed
in thirty minutes you shall hear from my bat
teries"
or course General Taylor would have not said
this to gallant and respected enemy. He would
have spoken in very different vein to brave
and gallant general who had maintained his 70
stion az long as il could be maintained and now.
having satisfied the demands of honor and duty
10 their full extent, ready with the frankness
| of soldier and gentleman, to accept the ne
cessty OF mis- position. But to Ampudia, neither
brave nor gallant, and whiff1ing over a eaptula-
| ,on which he knew to be inevitable, the response
was as fitting as it was well timed and effective.
There vas on the other hand dilicious touch
OF humor in the old generals acknowledgement
to the "boys" who laughed at hin. for dodging.
IN the thick of the fight at Buena Vista, when the
| balls were flying considerable" Gen. Taylor
saw some Of his men ducking their heads as tho
missiles whizzed by, and called out "No dodging
gentlemen; soldiers never dodge" But in few
moments a twenty four FOUNDER came bumming
so near the old een,iemans nose, that he invol-
UNFAIRLY drew in his head-whereat some of the
'boys" "snickered right out" dodge the balls.

mustard pot; "dodge the balls gentlemen, but
don't run"
| In the same style was his quiet remark at Re-
SAGA de la Palma, where the balls made lively
music too. One Of them cut Off his coat tail
whereupon he dry remarked to one who was
near him, "rhese balls are getting excited"
But the best thing he is said to have said was
also at Bnena Vista. 1t %as not only quaint but
grand: there was sort of heroic largeness about
it, in conception and expression, than which We
-know of nothing that more flls the minds eye.
It was when the last, desperate, almost over.
whelmin: charge was made upon Capt. Bragg's
battery. The captain saw the mighty cohort
coming, with an anxious gaze, 70: there was no
infantry at hand to sustain him. Placing his
pieces in position, he hurried to the general,
who was not Far Off to represent that his little
band would be ridden over, and to beg for rein.

their horses and took post beside the cannon.
