"The failure of the Mineral Bank of

sily for it. The arrival of four brokers
from Baltimore with only some $1,000
supposed to be about S50,0oO) of their

1 The New Orleans Picayune says:-

w lnc INeW OTIedHS IlCdyuDe says
We are informed that every mail that
reaches Baton Rouge from any quarter. is
filled with letters to Gen. Taylor. SO
overwhelmed is the old hero by his cor
respondence, that it is not only hercu-
lean labor to read it, but his postage ac-
count is actually eating into his substance.
Now nine out often ofthese letters which
the General receives concern the writers
more than they do him; and for each one
to pay the postage on his own epistles
would be slight tax upon the luxury
correspondence whilst the aggregate a
mount is severe assessment on one pock-
ct. The immense revenue of the Post
Office Department is made up ofdribets,
such as every letter received by the Gen.
eral takes from his purse. The object
of national correspondence should be
spared this expense, else the gratitude
of the people will impoverish the object
of their attachment.
