ing topics of Paredes' landing, and Major LaIIy's
detachment. ....s .. .... .. .... .4....,. -.
As to Paredes, we regret to slate that the captain
of the British steamer must have been acquainted
with his name and character, us Paredes did not
hesitate to speak freely on board the vessel. He
spoke freely of Santa Annals want Of energy,
ability and principles, and declared that unfortu-
nate Mexico would have to throw herself into the
arms OF America, or some European power
(This last allusion is suspicious: and confirms
what the President stated in his message to Con.
gress: .t.
{" In any event, it was certain that no change
whatever in the government Of Mexico which
would deprive Paroles Of power could be for the
worse, far as the United States were concerned,
while it was highly probable that any change
must be for the better" - ..-t - .#-f. -. .....
Paredes is a monarchist-a friend of a foreign
monarch, there is some reason to believe and his
presence in Mexico, if it looks TO any change
looks rather abroad than to America, for the
change Of her rulers. II will remain for the B t-
ish captain to explain how and why. he, as a neu-
ral.anlroduced so decided an enemy into our ports
at all, and without acquainting US with his char
acter au- ..t .....-.-..
;, II appears from the Vera Cruz letter, that when
Paroles entered that city, he was recognised by
two or three persons-an inspector at the gate,
and by Senor Atocha, who attempted justification
for his silence upon the lame excuse, that though
he was an American citizen, yet he was no spy
The fact is, that Paredes scarcely remained ten
minutes in the city, and went off without the
knowledge of Colonel Wilson, or any of the mill
tary officers. ......... ... Wash. Union. ID

Gen. Taylor. We beg to assure the North
Carolina Standard that in our remarks concern
ing this distinguished man, we have been in
auenced solely by the statements published in the
Generals letters, and which are public property
1t is true, as that paper remarks, from our posi-
ton and Connections we are supposed to know
something of the mind Of Gen. Taylor IN relation
to the Presidency" yet the course which he has
determined to pursue concerning his election has
been fully confirmed by the letters which have
been spread repeatedly before the eyes of his coun
trymen: He will. to a certainty, adhere 10 his
original purpose that if he is TO be called to the
chief magistracy, it must be by the spontaneous
voice of the people. ~ o. Souiherner.'

more than he hoped for had been saved in the
shape of household goods and cattle, while not
one precious life had been lost.
No time was, however, to be lost, as the whole
Mexican force could easily Oyertake them. The
wagons were loaded with rapldity the oxen har-
messed, and the cattle all driven into herds In
an hour every preparation was made, the word
was given, and, escorted by the Camanches, An
drew Pollock turned his back on his late home,
to seek one less subject to the inroads of an In
vading army. Like most of his neighbors, the
patriarch of the wilderness had resolved to send
his wife and daughter, with the other women, to
the sea-coast, and, joining General Samuel Hous-
ton, do battle for his country. For several days
the Camanches accompanied the cavalcade, and
then, according to Indian custom, disappeared
without ceremony of an adleu. The leader,
however, remained who then, in the presence Of
her whole family, declared the engagement be-
tween himself and Helen. Andrew Pollock start
ed in anger, and turning to his daughter, said
with little delicacy towards his Camanche pre-
sever, "Helen marry an Indian' "Who saved
nv father from death and me from worse" re-
Piled Helen firmly "Not an Indian" exclaim-
ed Crstobal, at this instant extending a parch-
ment to Andrew; "but Henry Norton, of Ken
lucky, captain in the service of the republic Of
Texas" The young man then explained that
his father, impelled by romantic feelings, had
welded a beautiful Indian girl; that on coming
into the enjoyment of that parents property, gal
led by the concealed sneers of some of his &C
quaintances, and the feeling that Indian blood
was in veins, he had adopted his mothers
baptismal name, and fled to her relatives, where
by dint of galanry, and by spending his income
among them, he had raised the troop we have
above alluded to. Until he saw Helen, he haC
determined forever to dwell with the Camanches
her beauty had, however, won him back to civil
ization. We need enter into no further partic
ulars. The lovers were united; Henry, Andrew
and the sons, all distinguished themselves in the

being finally established, the family once more
