THE YOUTH OF WASHINGTON.

The following passage from Bancroft's
History is quoted in London paper as a
good specimen Of the historians style,
which is characterized by terms of high
commentator. To the American reader
it will possess an additional charm. For it
presents the youthful picture of man at
whose name the American heart throbs-
name which acquires, as years roll on, a
place more and more profound n the afiec-
tons and reverence of the American PEG.

GEN. TAYLOR IN MARYLAND.-We find
the following paragraph in the late message
of Gov Pratt to the Legislature of Mary
land:
The name of Gen. Taylor. but for this
war, would have been unknown to many of
his countrymen; it now commands the res
pect and admiration Of other nations, and
fills the hearts of the American people
with devotion unexampled since the days
of Washington. His intimate acquain-
lance with the existing relations Of this
country with Mexico and the purity ofpur-
pose and sterling good sense manifested by
all that he has said or done, will, am pur-
suaded, fully Justify the wisdom of the de-
termination plainly evidenced by his fell
low.citizens TO confer on him the highest
office in the gift of the Republic. ! do not
indulge hope that the peace of the coun-
try will be restored until these indications
Of the times have been realized, and the
Executive functions of the Federal Gov
eminent have passed into other hands.
