We have had General Quitman and General
Shields among US but they off on a visit to
Richmond, Va; we have had General Pierce
here, but he has gone to see his friends In the
Granite State; we have had Major General
Gaines, but we believe he goes to-day to New
York, in relation to his plan of harbor defences,
which he will lay before the city councils for
their consideration.
We have now the brave Major w. w. S. Bliss,
the accomplished adjutant of General Taylor,
and his presence calls to mind one of those me-
morable incidents at the memorable fight at Buena
Vista. A corps of Americans, hard pressed by
an overwhelming force of the enemy, sent to
General Taylor for re-inforcements. az have, -
said the old man, 60 no re-inforcements to give
you, but Major Bliss and will support you"-
equal to a thousand veterans at any point OF the
field. eyes, sir, Major Bliss and will supper,
you"
We have also General Kearny, General Brooke,
and his fellow officers of the court martial, and
quite a striking representation from the army, OF
the wounded. Governor Brown, member of the
House from Mississippi, came in to-day, and
General Houston is also here. Wonder If &c.
neral Taylor will be called up to town. Perhaps
not. BoNY VIsrER.

Mr. Gurlcy rested upon the basis of the great car.

position outside the bar TO a view down one OF
the aises, we made a discovery which turned
our reflections to the general subject of good
manners, and boots in particular Before us,

from the outside of the bar, to the left of the mi.

Epentng Revfse.

Gen. Quitman and Gen. Shields came up this
afternoon from Richmond, and are at Fullers.-
Also, Col. Garland and Capt. Magruder, from
Mexico. COL Belknap, highly distinguished
officer, is also at the same house, but will leave
forthwith for Perote to attend the Court of Inqui
ry at that place, in matters upon which the Gen.
eral-in-chief will have to answer, and we doubt
not will answer to complete justification.
Lieut.. Col. Fremont commences the reading OF
his defence before the Court Martial tomorrow.
Il will be long, but as the hand and head of Old
Bullion is in the work, it will also be strong.
We are rather inclined to think that the accu-
sed will be acquitted. A light verdict may be
rendered by the Court, but the President will
not be in duty bound to- approve even that, and
we don't suppose he will However, whatever
may be the decision, we are satisfied it will be
made with nice discrimination between justice
and rigid discipline on the one hand, and consld-
case on the other. W.
