A venerable lady was present, who was in the

dwelling upon the almost forlorn hope of the garri

and cried out in loud voce-''G Glory to God and
everlasting thanks to Gen. Taylor" The effect

GEN. TAYLOR AND HIS WOUNDED.

Col. JEFFERSON DAVIS, now Senator Of tho
United States, and formerly the brave leader of the
Mississippi rifles so distinguished at Monterey aud
at Buona Vista, addressed the people of Vicksburg
not long since political matters. The Colonel
belongs to the Cass party, but evidently gives no
great tribute of enthusiasm to the gentleman Of
Michigan; while he cannot speak Of Cen TAYLOR
without being moved into eloquence aud excite,
meni,
Col. Davis served under the old chief. has been
in battle with him, knows him well, and consider
ing him one of the best and noblost men in the
world, loves and admircs him accordingly. An sc-
count of the honorable Senator's speech. given in
one of the Vicksburg papers, says:-
lie ran over some of the prominent, measures of
the public policy in which he took an interest dur
ing the late session Of Congress-spoke in terms of
severe condemnation concerning the "defecton" of
Benton and Houston OH the Oregon Bill-said no
thing about Polk-gave out that the Northern De.
mocrats were no longer worthy of being called .al
lies of the South" and he should never again speak
OF them as such, and came at last with evident re-
lucance, To the Presidential contest He said that
il any persons expected him to speak evil of Gen
Taylor they would be disappointed. He knew no
evil of the old hero, and spoke of him as one of
the purest and noblest the world had ever SEEN
The Colonel seemed greatly moved in speaking OF
Gen. Taylor, and his eulogy on the old man was
beyond all question the finest we ever heard l,
was received with thunders ofinv1luntary applause
He referred to the kindness and almost paternaI re-
gard shown by Gen. Taylor to the Mssssppians
under his command, and was again interrupted by
storm of cheers.
He said that the old General stood God father TO
the sons Of Mississippi when, amid the war and
smoke of the fight, they were ba ptized i'm blood ON
the heights of Bucna Visa-and was again COM
PEELED to pause by hurricane of applause He
said that during the progress of the battle after he
| (Col. Davis) was wounded, Gen. Taylor came and
sat down by him-the firm determination on his
brow seemed struggling with expression ofdeep
sorrow for the brave fellows who had fallen and
those who were yet to bite the dust-when, on be-
ing nerrogaied as TO his purposes, he replied
while the fire Of an unconquered will cleaned in
his eye-"my ,co,mded are behind me, and shall
ncrer pass them aliue P' About this time the
crowd became excited that they were almost
ready 10 carry the Colonel from the stand.
This touching and heroic reply has before
come TO our knowledge. 1t is one Of those charac-
ters'Ic sayings which so strongly mark Gen. Tay-
lor's firm, yet generous nature. No wonder his
soldiers had confidence in him. No wonder that
victory went with him and perched upon his stand

Taylor votes, it will give 90 votes for TAYLOR or
majority Of IA ON JOINT BALLOT And il is no,
