letter from General Taylor, declaring that he OPP
posed to the extension of slavery into territory already
free We heard it also stated, that Mr. Crittenden had
addressed letter to northern member of Congress,

The Cincinnati Atlas makes the following comment on
the article in the Cincinnati Signal and deem it due
both to General Taylor and Mr. Crtenden to republish
it, as follows:
'Mr Crtenden having the foregoing article in the
Signal requests rs TO that he before had

whether Mr.. Benton ever was Lieutenant
Colonel in the regular army, an examina-
ton Of the records of the United States
Court in st. Louis placed the matter al
rest. After the peace an action was COM
menced by the United States against Lieut.
Col. Thomas II. Benton, for the recovery
of a considerable sum of money. placed
in his hands during the war, as superintend.
ent of the recruiting service, which money
he had applied to his private use; q judg.
ment was rendered against him for several
thousand dollars, as any one may see who
chooses to examine the records. Mr.. Ben.
ton stated the truth, then, when he says
he was a Lieutenant Colonel in the U. S
Army. Att period too, when those small
fry, Gaines, Scott and Taylor, were fight
ing at Erie and Niagara, he was recruiting
somewhere in Tennessee, and had plenty
of Uncle Sans money in his hands.

RUMoRs.-The Washington correspon.
dent if the Baltimore American writes
under date of the 2sth:
The rumor has come to be very current one
that Gen. Taylor will be recalled. The partzans
Of the Administration wish il, and may succeed
in mastering courage equal TO the purpose design
ed. 1t cannot have escaped your notice that there
is systematic attack made and to be made
upon old Trough and Ready"
There are intentions, believe, to amend the
Sub. Treasury bill by contriving some new ma
chinery to prevent the counting Of specie by the
Sub. Treasurers. The time consumed is more
than the patience and number Of clerks will
allow. The continuance designed is paper mon
ey, to bear the soubriquet Of mint certificates. "
These are TO be added to the $500 900 which
were authorised by the act Of yesterday, and they
make but another kind Of paper currency to all OIL
which this "hard money Administration" proves
to be strongly welded.
The correspondent of the Baltimore Sur
writes, under the same date:
Depend on it, the Lieutenant General is tc
come up egain in some new attractive form; the
Cass men will again go for it, as they have done
before.
