 Nsw .arkaasas Troops Jbr Ms .4ray Captain Woods. recently appointed to raise company of lniaatTy in this Stale under the ''ten regiment bif arrived yesterday on the oelia with seventy nine mea. ia good health and ready for service. Lieut. Feich remains at Fort Smith to recra,t the number repaired to complete the company Capt. Woods is ordered with his commaad to Vera Cruz. and from thence b join Gen. Scott as speedily as pos sibie.
 We are thankfai to him for many farors while acting as agent for the Banner Madison county. aad we sincerely hope that in his new vocation he may win many laures. Col S. B Vaughan will re- ceye payment from those of our subscribers in that direction who may be in arrears.
 nLiesi. Hanfer.--oa the outside of our paper to- day we paklish the charges against this officer aad his sentence by the eourt- rt-narlisi. Perfect subor dinasion in the navy and army are bcyoad question requisite. and strict obedience to the orders os pesioss but we arc not prepared to admit the jus tise of ths deeisios in this csse. The czptuse of AfYarsdo had been attempted before by greatly superior force and failed. Lieut. Hunter finding favorable opportunity, assumed the responsibility of an attaek and was successful, instead of merely blockading the port and waiting the arrival of the squadron under Commodore Perry, as his defs. Whatever nay have beea his error in orer- stepping the rles of the service the country is not disposed to adjudge harsh sentence as dismis- sal from the squadron during the time iA which they are likely 10 be engaged with the enemy. We hope the President may consider the reprimand sufficient
 GEN. TAYLOR AND THE PRESIDENCY. Are you for "Reagh au.l Ready for Presdent' 7" has became question of every day occurrence h,,. called upon to s~pt b t more thsn once. Our coatse in the coming contest seems plain one 10 us, and we have Aes!.z.iou in gving views If when the period arrives at which declaration o his political principles with propteiy be made Gea. Tayior should avow himself whig not all the admiration ssc have for his lofty fame, the ihusism with which regard his brilliant achieve ments eould induce us to support him. IT the at sempt now made by the whg press to hat,er him Iito sn stvUcaey of measures which we have al. ways dissthted from and rejected, should be suc- sessfai, not all the high respect entcStain for his integrity of character and solid jud-neat woaid induce as fov e moaaeat to in our de- votion 10 democracy. But cs the ees,.ayy, stcah Ne despise the atsemrts thas made to forestaA his position before the country, and ciinsiag to 'his
  trines of Jefferson and Jackson, VIC need no, say how gladly we would sustain with our humble aid, Ais nomination. That any man can be presented 10 she people of this country a candidate for the highest office. without exposing 10 the world the policy by which he will be governed in administer- rg its afas. will only be credited by the '.spoii hunters" who cling to the strongest tree fof sup port. If there Is any principle dividing the two parties. if the difference between whig and Demo crat Is not mere imaginary distinction, it is idle to suppose thas even the s'azc of glory which sur rounds Gen. Taylor can dazzle the feople into for geifainess of it.
 We cannot close this paragraph better than by cx tracing the following from the Washington Union, which we recommend to the consideration of our democratic friends-
 .sWhea Gen. Tayiors principles haye been faily developed, five approve of his views of the consi. tatian, sa6cf the policy ia which the Eovernmen, shoaid be administered, shNi be able to apprc- eiate his claims to the Presidency We shsu sel.h tisem Is tie sss; spirit We are aass asecs ss:.s-l to any candidate, hundreds and thousands of the American people"
