willing to engage in the enterprise without a
certain prospect ofits yielding sufficient in
come to cover expenses, and pay reasonable
compensation for the additional amount of la
Dor requiredi in its successful prosecution, which
he is inclined to doubt. In speaking of the
matter he says:
''We perceive that the editors of the Evans

intelligence three to one; but there is one vas

This editor is wrong in two matters stated
New Albany is not larger than Evansville, no
so large; and Evansville does more business tina
New Aibany-sells more goods, and ships NOR
produce than that town, and is increasing il
business and population faster than any tow

AN IMPORTANT ERROR CoRREcTPD.-Our at
tention has been directed to an important error
committed by the compositor and overlooked
by the proof-reader, in the letter from Gen
TAYLOR to Hon. GEORGE H.DUSN. 1t occur:
in the following parag. .aph:
tOn re ference to the records of official pa
pers in the office of my Adjutant General find
no evidence that the proceedings in the Court
of Inquiry, instituted at the request of Gen
Lane, were sent to me. To the best of my re-
collection they certainly leere not. In the alb
sence of Maj. Bliss my Adjutant General,
cannot speak more positively. The order con
stituting the Court was issued by Gen. Wool
and as it originated at his Headquarters. its
proceedings, he probably conceived not neces
sary to be sent to me. His course, however,
in ordering the Court; was opposed by me.
The third word from the last opposed" i:
wrong 1t should be "apprODed by me-" A
critical reader would see the error from the
context, but the more. cafeless might not detec
it and thus be misled.
Editors who have published the letter refer
red to, are respectfully requested to make the
correction. State Jour

GEN. Sc JTTs RETURN.-lt seems now to be
conceded by the Whig press generally, that
Gen. Scott will not be permitted to return home
for some time yet, but will be detained in Mex
leo by Mr.. Polk upon some pretext or other
until after the Conventions have met. We
were prepared to expect this after seeing par
agraph upon the subject in the New Orleans
Delta of the Sd inst, which we noticed on
Wednesday, which said there were orders in
that city that would detain Gen. Scott in Mex
leo, and that those orders related to some mat
ters before the court Of inquiry that would have
to be investigated there. We now learn from
the Washington correspondent of the NortK
american what those matters are, or rathel
what furnishes the pretext for OBTAINING the
old Hero prisoner in Mexico. He says:
81 understand that the uagnanimous(D y pro
position of Gen. Worth to withdraw the char
ges against Gen. Scott-the more magnanimou.
from the fact that the accused stood ready tt
cofront them and challenged their investiga
tion-has been referred to the War Depart
ment and that as yet, no answer has been re
turned. Now, if Mr.. Marcy, or the Presiden
have any particular purposes TO crafty in pre-
VENTING ule IetuIn Vi uen. SCotl, ds pelleFs
they have, it is an easy matter TO postpone ths
adjournment of the Court, by withholding the
reply to this reference, and thus keep the ques

Htic to encounter the enthusiasm which will
attend the the triumphal march of the noble
old soldier, from New Orleans, into the pres
ence of his prosecutors and slanderers.
81 am persuaded in my own mind-thougf
have no authority for chargingit directly-tha
steps have already been taken to protract tn,
Court OF Inquiry. Mr.. Polk has not the cour
age, or the reliance of the justice ofhis outrage
on the victorious General, to meet the popula

to hazard it, by the presence of the man whom
he has SO deeply wronged, and the country ow

of mental imbecili.y, was recommended by
the jury TO executive clemency. He was
accompanied 10 the bar of the court by his
wife, who was apparently about tweniy-iwo
years old. During his trial, she sat by bis
side, with troubled, downcast look, occa.
sionally gazing in the face of her unfortunate
husband. And when the jury returned Ia
announce their verdict of his guilt, she sill
remained by his side, and heard it with
apparent tranquil resignation, which smolh-
ed from the public eye the working sorrow
OF her heart. As soon as their recommenda
ton was announced. she procured petition
and with a pen and ink went among the iu-
ry, the members ofIhe bar, and ihe specta-
tors, and obtained their signatures TO it for
his pardon. The devoted labors of his faith

and certainly she never did more decidedly
than when she granted to Gideon j. PilIoU
the privilege of holding Office under James
K. Polk, instead of the Emperor of the Ce.
lestial Kingdom. Mr.. Forbes, in recent
published description of China, gives an out
line of The Chinese article Of a0ar, among
which we find the iollowing:-
ssART g. The soldier who bravely kills
our enemy shall be rewarded but he who
is detected in lying Preterts about has oUn
merits, or who by false tales uswps the mer-
its Of others as his oHn, shall be decap-
tated"
What would Pillows head have been
worth, had he been Brgadier in the Celes-
tial Empire? Not the price OF one OF his
spurs! But this Eighth Article of War af-
fords indirect evidence of curious fact. 1t
renders it highly probable that there have
been Piilows, or at least PilLOU, in China.
If not, why make law to meet his case?-
These articles of war like all the Chinese
codes, are very ancient. They may, indeed,
date back to the time ofConfucius. There
musi, therefore, have been Pitlo1c then.--
In that early Stage of the worlds history.
there was some officer, Bcigadier or Major
General probably, '.delecled in lying pre-
lexis about his own merits,"-o in writing
for the newspapers il may be, "false lales,' ,

The merits of others as bis own" Thisis Gu

/ Could two such creaiuies,-so Identical il
all essential respects,-ever have existed
lis il possible that there should ever have
been another Gideon ]. Pillow? Must one
not have been the double of the other,-
alter, vet idem? There is more truth in the
old doctrine of metempsychosis than we are
generally willing TO concede. And it mal
be that, in pe,iing Pillov, President Polk ii
simply hugging to his heart some patriotic
Brigadier who lost his head two thousant
years ago. Pillo0 is very probably, some

1t would be unjust, however, al ke TO ma
