GENERAL TAYLOR AND OProNENTs.-The
political opponents of General Taylor are indie
fatigabe in their exertlons to procure something
that will initiate against the character and stand
ing of the old hero. We do not know it TO be
fact, but we have no doubt, that rigid scrutiny
has been made into all the acts of his life; that he
has been traced and followed from post to post,
from camp to camp, across rivers, marshes, fords,
swamps, and morasses, throughout his whole
career, for this purpose. Hitherto their success
has been very equivocal; but after great deal of
trouble, and following in his steps all the way to
Mexico, they have raked up something, which they
think will have the desired effect.
1t is asserted that, on certain occasion, when
some of the Ohio volunteers were filing their
knapsacks with Mexican chickens, taken unlaw-
fully from Mexican hen-roosts, the o. general
used certain words IN the moment Of e. Element,
which, il he even did use them on . occasion,
we venture to say, were not take Town, noted,
and also blotted out by the recording angel. This
is the amount of their success up to this time; and
we are in expectation of something else turningup
in short time, but we do not think that whatever
it may e, will have much effect IN the next CAM
paign. If the friends of the old General will but
throw of the apathy with which they appear to be
affected, and will bestir themselves, and raise
some little enthusiasm and If General Taylor will
not write any more political letters, he will stand
an excellent chance for election In November next
This writing of letters is the most dangerous and
fatal amusement that Presidential candidate
could engage IN. 1t seldom or ever does any good,
and 1t generally does harm to the prospects of the
candidate, as well as to his party. Instances are
not wanting to prove the truth of this.
THEATRIcALs.-All the theatres are doing good
summer business; but the Bowery is running away
with all the cream. Sometime ago, the Bowery
prices were put up, legitimate drama given, and
all was emptiness. Hambhn, like man OF sense,
reduced the prices to their former level, and
straightway the house was filled every night.
Another prospect is booming upon us. Macready,
Fanny Kemble, and several other stars of heaven,
are coming out to shine upon US next fall. Forrest
is also to take his tenth farewell There is fun
brewing.

LATER FROM CURACoA.-From Mr. Lewis
Koran, passenger by the brig Abraham, we
learn that General Monagas had arrived
IN Caracas, looking Ill, and depressed
in spirits. His reception had been very cool.
On his way he had liberated all prisoners, and it
was rumored that he was about to grant general
amnesty, which was looked upon as sign of
weakness. Carcania, one of Monagas' ministers,
was on his way from England, without having
procured the required loan, which was to have
been G2.0O0,000. Paez's fleet had been cruising
off Curacao for week or more, taking in water
and provisions, &c. 1t amounts In all to seven
schooners and one bark. This feet had captured
one of the government vessels, put prize master
on board, and sent her into Curacao. They had
also fired INTO another government vessel which
was ashore, in order to save the crew. The
General was expected in Curacao shortly being
detained at 81. Thomas by sickness. Paez's fleet
are not allowed to enter the port OF Curacao, but
remain on the lee side, at an island called Little
Curacao, where they provision, &c.
