Taylor arrived yesterday morning from
his plantation in Mississippi, and took Il.
paI,ments at the St. Charles Hotel. Du-
ring the day crowds of our citizens, with
OUT distinction Of party, paid their respects
TO the President elect. They were recei-
we'd by the old hero with his accustomed
frank courtesy, and simplicity of manner.
We were gratifed to find that with the ex-
ception of a severe cold, he is in the en-
ioyment of good health. The announce
ment Of his arrival created the most lively
enthusiasm about town. Artillery Com
panies were out in every direction, firing
salutes in honor of his arrival. On the
Place d'Armes a portion of MAJOR Ga]ly's
battalion fired one hundred and sixty-six
guns, the numbero of electoral votes the
General has; on Common street, oppo-
site the St. Carries Hotel, another portion
of the battalion fired the same number,
and Captain Stockton's company, in La
fayette Square, rivalIed their downtown
military friends in honoring the peoples
choice for the highest place in their gift.
