GGN. TayloRs LGrrER,--on the lirsi
page of our paper Ia. day, we publish the
private letter OF this distinguished officer
in which he fully expresses some OF his own
opinions relative to The prosecution Of the
war. That i has created soma excitement
among the powers thai be, At Washington,
is evident from the fact. that an order has
been issued from tho War Department, re.
yiving an obaalete paragraph from the army
regulations, lorbilding officers from making
private letter reports Of tho operations of
the army
The letter, il now appears, was written
10 General Gaines, as he has informed the
War Department that such was tho lao',
and that he furnished copy ot it for ibo
press, 50 that tho charge made against Gen.
Taylor Of having endeayored 10 suhserl
the plans Of the Executive, by an appeal to
the people, falls to the ground. The letter
weuld, in I'll probability, never have been
published, hadnot Gen. Gaines considered
ii Unnecessary anl proper 50 10 do. in order to
yindicalc tho fame OF an old and Tried sol.
dlrr, from the obloqay sought to be easl
upon him, by some of the followers Of the
Administration, in the National Lcglsla
lure.

Some idea may be formed ofiho misea.
bic policy which the Administration has
directed Gen. Taylor 10 pursue, from the
following extract Of journal Of the Incl.
dents oi the march IRON Monterey to Veto.
ria. The whole march. distance Of zoe
miles, was performed in II days. The
writer says:
sour visit to Linares was a periec,
windiail 10 IFS citizens. Mules that would
not command $40 in the morning, were
sold 10 the United States at night for as
much As S3l--and 50 il is with every thing
We buy from the MeGieans in all parts Of
this country. From a loaf of bread up to
a horse, they will demand double the a.
mount from an American that they do from
a native. II the early part Of our visit 10
Linares was a source Of benefit and pleas.
uTo 10 its people. the latter part Of il was
anything but agreeable to them. General
Tay lur had learned while at Mount Nor.
aos, that the government Of Mexico had
S2.sO0 in funds and quantity Of tobacco
and cigars deposited in Linares, and he
ordered one Of tho Assistant QuaHermas.
iers 10 demand aud receive il. in the name
Of the United states, from the Alcade-
constructing the soothing system Of our
government in such Il manner as TO give
him the right OF taking public property. II
nothing else. But when the call was made
upon the Alcalc, he denied that there was
anything belonging TO the government in
Linafes. He was told that the Alcade Of
Mount Morales had stated that the proper.
~ above mentioned was there, and that il
must be given up. He confessed that such
property had been there, but said an officer
ol the Mexican army, with party of sol.
dlcrs, came into town after Capt. Graham
left, and took 1t away. Gen. 1aylor's or.
ders then were Tor the Alcade to obtain
the money by some means and hand il over
before IL clock. Aficr great deal of
circumstances, he went out and brought in
$1,000 Of his own money, and then ordered
the shopkccpcrs to produce the remainder
Ibis he hid by causing the Secretary to
draw un each for the sum he named
Onc man he mulclcd for $500, another for
