A NOBLE SENTIMENT.-In Matamoras,
a gentleman said to General Taylor, II

right or wrong of this war;" The old
general, with much animation replied:
"Berween my government and a foreign
nation, l never ask a ~question-my gou-
eminent is Arrays right.

have supposed that the letters and des-
patches ofGen. Taylor were not written.
by himself, but by another Major Bliss.t
The doubt arises from their excellence
of style and sentiment also.
Not forgetting that General Gibson has
said that On seuenteen different Court
Martiais at which he and General Taylor
met, the latter was invariably selected by
the other members to draw up their re-
port, our object mainly is to relate what
