A Fair Hit.

The New Orleans National has not done
more than justice, in the following imaginary
correspondence, to The practice of writing lei
ters TO eminent public men, propounding all
manner Of unmeaning questions, and then pub,
fishing their answers. - II would seem as if
every scribler in the land had been catechising
Gen. TAYLOR, and that he, frank old soldier,
answers them as if it were an official Duty.
The questions propounded in the following i'm
aginary correspondence by Mr. Snooks are not
less important than many that have been pro-
pounded TO the General.
