Gen. Taylor and his Buena Vista
RpnOrf
RRnOrf.

The editor of the Indiana Journal has the hardi-
hood TO deny the statement, which he says is going
the rounds Of the eastern papers. that resolution
passed the Senate of Indiana at its late session. In
yting Gen. Taylor visit the State and requesting
him to correct his report of the Battle of Buena Wis
ia, far the ID Indiana regiment is concerned.
Such resolution did pass that body. 1t was n-
troduced by Captain Rousseau, wing elector, and
when it came up or its second reading
Mr.. ROUSSEAU said, in substance that his object in
Introducing these resolutions not to make politi
cal capital for Gen. Taylor or for any political party
and he hoped the question their passage would not
be considered party question, but would pass by
unanimous vote Of the Senate. The object of these
resolutions was to pay merited tribute to the gallant
services and heroic conduct of General Taylor for the
last forty years of his life and while a vote of
thanks was returned for these services, at the
time to remind him that injustice had, in his official
report, been done to portion of the citizens of
State, who had calamity sustained her honor the
battlefield of Buena VISTA and to ask him the
Cd Indiana regiment right before the world. He did
not however intend to discuss the question at this
time and consume time uselessy.
The debate was continued by Mr.. Barbour, when
ResolUed That great injustice has been done TO the
character of the State of Indiana, by the official
port of Gen. Taylor of the battle of Buena Vista. aud
that the therein stated have been made known
to him and acknowledged in private conversation and
call upon him to reiterate acknOwlecg the error
Mr.. Rousseau said the amendment proposed to ac-
complish the same thing the original resolution,
the difference as it suggested itself TO his mind was
simply that one was clothed in the courteous language
that should be used in addressing Gen. Taylor, and
the other in language and undignfed andral-
cuated to wound his feelings. He would go as far
as airy man sustain the character of Indiana and
her troops at Buena Vista he was one who was
personal sufferer by that report, having belonged
the ID regiment. He had felt deeply wounded by that
report.
Mr.. Morrisons amendment was laid upon the ia
bic. The resolution subsequently engrossed by
vote of ayes II, noes Is.
We have extracted DIR. Rousseau's remarks from
our regular report of the proceedings of the Senate
which were Published at the time with Mr.. RS ap-
probation.

The National DehI of England.

Just read the following, and try if you keep
from laughing when you hear the impairment praes
Of the English press, about the debt states
"George the Third to the throne in 1860.
He found the national debt 100 millions he regned
fifty whine years. and left it above $40 millions being
700 millions more than at his cessioH, increasing OIL
the whole period of his reign about f36,000 every
day, trOenty-three pounds every minute! At the
beginning Of his reign the taxes were millions, at
his DEATH he left them at above GO millions Taking
the national debt at $50 Millions it will weigh very
nearly seven thousand tons in soyereigns it would
take sixty four years to count it allowing
him to count 30 minute, and work IL hours day !;
it would load many wagons as would extend eighty
miles in direct line, allowing each wagon TO carry
one ton, and to occupy twenty yards.
The interest of the sum is 30 millions and it is
drawn by taxes from the people. This annual inter-
est would load as many wagons would extend over
miles in direct line, with one ton weight of sover-
eigns In each.

GREAT FIRE.-Soon after II o'clock, on Sunday

alarmed by the cry of fire. 1t quickly aScer-
tanned that the fire in the steamboat Hendrix
Hudson, at Myers landing. The flames broke out in
the hold of that boat and they were soon commune
Gated to the whole cabin, which burned like finder.
1t was with considerable difficulty that the clerk Of
the Gen. Scott, who was sleeping board at the
time, could make his escape, which he did by leaving
the greater part of his clothes behind 1t is supposed
by the captain of the II. H., that a couple of deck
hands persisted in the flames, and that one man was

the flames, but they were beyond control. We learn
that the Hendrix Hudson insured III the sum of

surance offices; the Trenton was insured for $4,000
in the Manufacturers office, and the Circassan for
$1,000. but in what office did not understand.
The Trenton had been repairing and only dropped
down the day previous. The H. H. was about two

others badly injured
On the Hendrix Hudson, the mate, Washington
Rouse in his laudabe efforts to the boat, lost the

One of the members of the George street No. 2S,

once was, can every man who buys thousand bar
rels of -four and beef and pork stop to examine each
one! The thing is impossible And how can poor
people be saved from the npOsitions of cheats. with
out system by which men shall be obliged TO be
honest. Upon this hypothesis, the state of New
York established most perfect system of state su-
pervision, by means of political protectors against
fraud. She had inspector of -four of provisions

liquors. guaging of all liquors, weighing of all mer
chandize sold by weight, and measuring of every
thing sold by The army of weighers,
guagers, and inspectors covered the land,
aud might have made formidable Eruption upon
Mexico. But our glorious new Constitution brushed
them all off in an hour, and let all the dishonesty of
the State go Free to plumber and cheat. To the
constituent of every one, the change hardly per-
ceived. Free trade regulated the whole matter, and
all the representations about cheating turned out
mere moonshine. There was no more cheating, or
trouble in any way than before In fact, the change
hardly perceived Some flour came to market
