We have neither room nor patience to proceed
with this expose, though the half has not yet been
told. How q man possessing the reputation of
A. c. Flags, to say nothing Of his associate Com
missioaers, can have allowed money to have been
drawn from the Treasury in such fragrant disre-
gard Of law, and especially by one not famed for
accuracy in pecuniary matters, we cannot imagine.
Gen Storms. having nearly exhausted the ap-
preparation without fairly beginning the work
land the masonry, we are assured by good judges,
70 most wreschedly executed,) went out Of Office
leaving over eli 600 Of unfal6lled contracts to be
looked AFTER BY his successor; while to complete
the work on bis plan would cost many more thou.
sands than the State can spare for such purpose.
Yet an Arsenal must be had; 10 the new State
officers have decided to erect part only Of Gen.
Stormss ambitious structure. which resembed
much more dandy fortress than an Arsenal and
to this end an appropriation has been asked and
granted.

as the depuation, which was very full, quite
as ful as could be desired, had drawn up sin
column, in ship shape" manner, before the
General, s. s. PrenIiss Esq. stepped forward
and addressed Gen. TAYLOR in the inlln.vins
words:
Generot-l am requested BIZ the shipmas-
/ tiers OF the port oil New Orleans to act as their
speaking trumpet on this occasion, and as
have more brass than any one else, perhaps il
is appropriate that | should do 50. They are
accustomed to use that instrument, and IN its
loudest tones desire 10 express their admira
! ton OF yourself. sir. They love The stars and
s ripes, sir, and they have carried them over
many seas, aid The more they see of them the
more they love them. They know, General,
that you have sustained them nobly upon land,
and when you 60 abroad again, they desire 10
say, that they have seen aud taken by the
hand that great general whose name is now
associated with that OF Washington. Permit
me, gentlemen, at your request, 10 introduce
you 10 Gen. Zachary Toylor.
General Taylor then briefly replied as fol-
lows:
Gmtlemea S1ipmastcrs-It gives me the
most unalioyed pleasure 10 meet you on this
occasion. That our marine has carried our
! flag over every sea, fully equailing, il not sur.
| passing. by their deeds, the efforts OF those on
! land, has long been known. 70 meet you all
. here IN social intercourse and take you by the
hand, gives me the highest qualification.
am MOI nsed to making public addresses, and
! my actions are best spoken out oil doors.
The various shipmasters were then present
ed to Gen. Taylor, and shook him heartily by
the hand, with true sailors grip ana express
sions OF the utmost cordiality and kindness,
and the whole affair terminated with the ny
most satisfaction to all parties, with ''three
times three, given in the heartiest manner By
all assembled.
