CHARACTER OF GEN. TAYLoR.-A friend of
says that General Taylor is as simple and unos-
tentatious as ethiopian as aplke-staff-homeiy
and unpretending -braye as Caesar, and as deter
mined and firm as adamant. He has strong good
sense; he is monumental, but useful His sense
is of the cast iron kind, not shining but solid, and
altogether practical He is the least snowy, unar-
tifcal General, or subaltern, that is or ever was
in the American army He has power and an
influence over men, whether individuals or armies,
that is irresistible. All around him have con-
scousness of security and safety while he is with
them. 1t is this moral power, this magic of the
mind, which made his four thousand men superior
to twenty thousand well disciplined troops. And
it is this moral power-this magic of the mind,
which will lift him 10 the next Presidency on the
shoulders of millions Of his grateful countrymen
