Gen. TayIOi,s HUMANITY.

| oO"s h"y
The supporters of Gen. Taylor claim
that Ire is very humane man, and in fact
they urge the people TO support him for
the Presidency on that account. This, we
presume is owing to the fact, that when in
command of the American army, agains,
the Seminole Indians to Florida, he em.
ployed Cuba blood hounds, merely for the
purpose of hunting them out, and not to
worry them.
But we have now another specimen Of
Gen. TayIors humanity, which we find in
the Memphis (Tenn Appeal, given upon
the authority Of one of the brave voluu.
eers from that State, who is gentleman
(says that raper) whose veracity will no,

have cheering intelligence. The Shreveport
Journal of the 18th inst. says: Having inquir-
ed of persons from all sections of the surround
ing country, we have had the most fattering
accounts of the growing crops. The stand of
cotton is elegant, and in fine growing condi-
ton. The corn crops have been represented to
us as equally fourishing." The Concorda In
telligencer ofthe Goth says: "The influence of
the rains of this week on the cornfields has been
remarkable. Twenty -four hours had not ell
apsed after the rains of Tuesday evening, when
they showed the new life which had quicken
ed the growth of the plant. Although this in
fluence is not so quickly perceptible in the cot
ton plant, the benefit received by it is even
greater, as at the time of the relief the stands
were about to suffer- As it is, few have been
