Incident at Madrid-The Madrid cores
pendent of the London News, relates an oc-
currence OF rather ludicrous character which
occurred there lately. Mr.. Saunders, (Hon.
R. NJ. Saunders, of North Carolina American
Minister, was about to visit Seville, TO be pre-
sent at the accouchment of the Duchess of
Montpensler, and had engaged passage for
himself and his interpreter in the diligence for
that place. When he arrived at the station,
however. he found that the place of his com
panion was occupied by an agent of govern
ment, who would not bulge. As The Minis
ter's limited knowledge of the Spanish lam
guage rendered the company of his interpreter
absolutely necessary, the expedition was CIV
en- up. The government, upon hearing of the
occurrence, ape!egized, and offered to place a
post-chaise at the Minister'S disposal, but the
offer was declined.-Baltimore Sun

What will the people ofNorth Carolina say
to that? Are the Wings prepared to put up
with this SANDER, uttered against our brave
Volunteers by Gen. Taylor, and by voting for
him, endorse it and approve it? Bear it in
mind, fellow citizens, and let it be rung thro'-
out the State, that Gen. Taylor has declared,
in an official letter, that the North Carolina
regiment could not be &c relied on'' in the hour
of battle, and that their conduct had been not
only Shighly unsoldierke and insubordinate,''
but 5G5=" DIsGRACEFUL and CowARDLY." 80
We submit the above letter to the people of
the State without comment. The appeal is to
them-to their regard for their own character
and for our gallant Volunteers, who are thus
slandered, and branded with epithets caIcula-

Gen. Taylor at Home-ln the early part
of last month public discussion took p lace
in the town of Baton Rouge, where Gen. Tay-
lor resides. One of the Democratic speakers,
Mr.. Larue, charged upon Gen. Taylor con-
cealment of his opinions on the Wilmot Pro.
vIso question. Mr., Larue remarked that "Gen.
Taylors residence was in sight of the scene of
that meeting, and in ten minutes, at any time,
if he would consent to tell them, his opinions
could be known," 1t is certainly most re-
markable fact that on subject all important
to the South, and now agitating the public
mind all over the Union, Gen. Taylor should
for so long time, have refused to make
known his views. This refusal on his part
to give any assurance 10 the South, is the
more remarkable as Gen. Taylor declared that
he did not desire any concealment of his
opinions. What renders the proceeding the
more strange on his part is the further consid-
Grafton that his supporters in the North are
constantly engaged in giving assurances that
Gen. Taylor, + elected, will approve the Will
mot Proviso, and these assurances are repre-
sented as being founded on pledges contained
in private letters from Gen. Taylor Now, it
is absurd, to suppose that Gen. Taylor is not
apprlsed of the course thus taken by his friends
in the Northern States. And yet, while he
has written letter after letter on other subjects,
he has not designed to utter one word of as
surance to the South in regard to this excl
ting and important topic. What excuse is
there for this conceaIment? There can be
none. 1t can be considered in no other light,
than as it has again and again been represent
ted by the Democratic press; device to catch
votes--an expedient to deceive and delude to
the support of the Wing ticket, two classes OF
men Numerically opposed to each other in
sentiment, one or the other of which must in
evitably be the dupes of such a course if il
has its intended etfect.-MdriettG AdUocdte

"CAMP NEAR MONTEREY,

My DEAR GENERAL: Your letter of yester-
day has this moment reached me; and, although
| regret TO make any change in my order il,
relation to the number and description of troops
ordered to join the column under the command
of Gen. Scott, yet [ am induced on your rep
resentation of the state of the feelings which
exists among the Mississippi and North Caro-
Ina which, am deeply mortified
to hear, is so highly unsoldierlike and insub-
ordinnte-to countermand, for the present, so
much of the said order as leIates to Captain
Deas's company; as you very correctly say,
in this state of things, the only troops gou
could rely on, an the erent Of meeting tie enc
my, would be the Virginia regiment, your ar
tllery, &c including your dragons and noun
ted men. The unWarantabie attack made on
COlinel Paine, for no other cause but that of
doing his duty with ZEAL and in a soldierly
manner, and compelling those under him TO do
so, is the most djsgracetM and coarordly occur
renee which has taken place since the COM
mencement of the present war. The prompt
measures you have taken to put down the
same, which are entirely approved. l hope
will restore proper state of discipline in that

it will, for the time to come, by its good con-
duct, make amends for the errors it has fallen
into.

CuRIosrTies OF ARITHMETIc.--An East
ern prince was so much delighted with the
game of chess, which had been devised for
his amusement, that he desired the inventor
to name his own reward. The philosopher,
however, was too modest 10 seize the oppor-
tunty of enriching himself; he merely
begged of his royal master grain Of corn
for each square Of the chess table, doubling
the number in proceeding from the FIRST to
the sixty-fourih square. The king, honor
ing his moderation, made no scruple OF con-
senting TO the demand but on his treasurer
making the necessary calculations, he was
somewhat surprised TO find that he had en-
gagged 10 give away the impossible quantity
Of 81 ,O76, AS $40, 500 .656 grains Of corn,
OF near two hundred millions Of bushels.
The story Of the horseshoe is of the same
kind, and, like the above, is usually met
with in books Of scientific recreation. A
man selling fine horse is to receive for it
nothing more than the value Of the twenty
fourth nail Of the animals shoes, supposing
the first pail is worth larthing, the second
two, and so on, doubling each time. The
bargain is toIerably good one, since the
twenty.iour,h nail at this rate proves TO DO
worth eighty thousand dollars.

FROZEN TO DEATH.-Mrs Hines, a young
married woman, was frozen to death lately, in
Leyden, Lewis county, N. Y. She went with
her husband five miles to church; returning on
foot, he stopped at the house Of an acquaintance,
while she passed on lost her way, and was not
found until Wednesday She had made her bed
in the snow, taken off her bonnet; and laid down
TO die From the circumstance of new pair OF
shoes being nearly worn out, it is supposed the
poor woman walked from Sunday afternoon till
Tuesday night.
