Tnr LATEST Our.--A great many an
ccdo,es have been related Of Gen. TAYLOR,
of his remarkable coolncss and sagacity ON
the field of battle; but the following is
more than twenty-four hours in advance of
its contemporaries -
"The General is IN the habit of riding
with very short strrupS. Well, in the heat
of the fight at Buena Vista, the old veteran
saw cannon ballmaking toward him, from
one of the Mexican batteries, with terrific
speed. Rough and Ready eyed it fora mo.
ment with grea, interest, during which time
he asccrtnincd, with mathematical preci.
sion, the exact spot where !, would nit him
If he remained still. But at the same time
he satisfied himself that with little iinesso
he could avoid the danger. So, waiting
with great patience until the sho, was about
TO strike him, he deliberately raised himself
in his stirrups, and the ball passed between
him and the saddle, leaving him quite un.
harmed This the doctor saw with his own
eyes, and therefore there can be no doubt
Of its truth"

The following are some Of the leading
features OF the treaty, as we find them in
the Chicago '.JouTnal," the editor of which
has seen a copy
The boundary line of the two govern
ments shall commence in the Gulf of Mex.
leo, opposite the mouth OF the Rio GrandP,
up the middle Of that river TO the point
where it strikes the southern boundary Of
New Mexico, thence westerly along the
whole southern boundary Of New Mexico
10 its western termination. thence north a.
long the western line Of n. NJ. till il inter-
sects the river ella, thence down the mid
die Of said river until it emptieS into the
Colorado, thence across the Colorado, fol-
lowing the division line between Upper aud
Lower California 10 the Pacific.
In consideration of the extension acquir-
cd by the boundaries Of the |. $. as above
defined, the government Of the [. $. en-
teen millions Of dollars in the following
mode
The United States government are 10 pay
The government of Mexico three millions
on the ratification Of the treaty, and three
millions annually thereafter until the whole
be paid, with 6per cent interest.
The territory ceded 10 the United States
by this treaty contains about 100000 square
miles, and population of nearly 100000
souls. 1t is about two. tifths of the terrific.
ry Of all Mexico.
But two changes were made by the Sen.
ate in the treaty as agreed upon by Mr..
TRIST and the Mexican Commissioners
One is in reference TO the mode Of paying
the Sl5,OOO,0OO, and the other is the strik.
ing out of the provision in reference to the
grants of land in Texas previous to 1896.
In consequence of these changes, it i:
necessary to send a commissioner to Mesi
co, for the purpose Of arranging fully the
matters of difference. The Hon. A. ii
SEWER, L. S. Senator from Arkansas, an,
chairman of the committee on Foreign Re
lations, has received the appointment, from
the President as this commissioner, and, i
is supposed, started about the 18th ins,an
for Mexico. He is accompanied by Mr.
WALSH as his secretary. Mr.. HANNrGAN
OF Indiana, takes his place at the head o
the committee on Foreign Relations.

On referring to article in Sunday mornings Union,
in reply to silly accusation by Independent of the
Philadelphia North American, find that in the hurry
of composition we omitted or two points which
might with propriety have been alluded to.
Independent has the folly to refer to the Secretary of
the Navy "pet' of ours, and to speak of Judge
Bayly owing his distinction to his being trumpeer,
Sc 1t has been in power to render any spe
ca service to the Secretary of the Navy; has any,
thing of the kind been asked from by him,
however ready may have been at any time to mani
fest friendship for to testify of his emf
nence and ability as public man. AS TO Judge Bayly,
his distinguished ability and accomplishments,
hbited both the legislature of Virginia and in the House
of Representatives, and before the people, have made
him what he u.s. He owes as little as any to the
partially of his friends and he certainly nothing to
any special efforts of to bring him before the public
eye or any relations which have hitherto subssted be-
tween us, proud of possessing his friend
ship He is much any the architect Of
his own fortunes; and blind and bigoted must that
man be who attempts underrate the high distinction to
which he has his way by his abilities and energy of
character. AS to any intrigue gotten up by either of
these gentlemen their friends against Gov. Floyd,
politician who well deserves the position which he has
attained hold the idea to be absurdity. We know
nothing of it, and give credit to it whatever

interest been alone consulted the consequences might
have been particularly disagreeable or injurious to
Others that 1t is liable to as few exceptions as could
reasonably have been expected, hope and believe
that may promote the lasting welfare of that country so
dear to us all. and secure her freedom and happiness
our most ardent wish"
The same spirit of Cancellation and compromise was
successfully invoked in the Missouri controversy in $780,
when the Union was again shaken TO Its centre. In no
other way, and with other spirit do we honestly be-
leve be settled now Let not either section of our
glorious republic deceive itself It is the part of wise
TO foresee the stsrm and not underate it, 1t
the duty of patriots to arrest the danger and provide
the remedynot to despse it, to disregard its pre-
