mrs. General Taylor and Daughter.

| At late ball, at East Pascagoula. General Tay.
lor, his lady and daughter, and Major Bliss, were
present. Of them correspondent of the Mobile
Herald writes as follows -
!" Mrs. Gen. T.-Dress plain and In good taste
manners dignifed and easy, countenance rather
stern, but it may be the consequence of military
association. Person tall and commanding, de-
meanor retiring, with palpable predileotion for
high station; and, judging from appearances, one
would suppose the White House offers no pecu-
liar attractions to Mrs. Gen. T., and if her liege
counsel it is not unlikely he would be content to
remain as Gen. T.
Miss Betty T.-Dress, rich white muslin
very handsome and becoming and in character
Miss i. is of the right stature--not too full and
not too short; figure round and symmetrical Her
complexion is almost so pure as to seem transpa-
rent; face in repose, slightly tinged with pen
sive cast; countenance open enG intelligent, and,
under the magic of one Of her sweet smiles. is
most bewitching. Manner easy and graceful,
motion light and elastic, conversation sprightly
and unemharrassed With much beauty her
strength is that of the heart and her heroism tn at
of the affections. Such lady deserves Bliss
fu life.
General Z. Taylor was present at the ball. in
undress military, and remained until seasonable
hour. 1t was not his fault il he did not make him.
self agreeable to the ladies and gentleman. AS
well as | could determine, he bore himself gallant
ly through the actions, and retired under colors
flying.
Colonel Bliss, take it, is not much of la
dies man. He is but seldom seen in the parlor,
and, believe, did not honor the bali with his ap-
pearance. He is an intellectual looking man, a
bout crossing the meridian Of life, attentive TO his
duties, adutant, and mis- correspondence, as pr-
vate secretary. He is apt and diplomatic in epis-
tplary correspondence as any man in the country.
and, for his eminent success, has acquired well
deserved reputation"
OF General Twiggs, who was also present, the
same writer says:
''There stood the gallant Twiggs-the Kle6er Of
the American army--his white locks streaming in
the breeze, but white not from age, but, perhaps,
from the effects of early piety."

General Sc0tl's Kindness to llis Old

Our departed friend Mai Samuel Horn whilst
in the cny Of Mexico, often expressed his de-
sire 10 see and have some conversation with
! his brave leader, under whom he fought SO gall
lah,ly in the last war with Gteat Brltian. Ac-
cordIngly upon repeated assurances of kind re-
cep,ion from Of his officers, the major
was induced 10 call upon the General. Horn
accordingly presented himself a, The quarters
Of the General ugged out in his best, as neat
and clean as new pin. highly ela,ed with The
idea OF seeing his idol commander. The guard
on post required his pass; Sam. told hun he
had no pass, bu, merely wished to see The Gem
eral. The sentry informed him tina, ,ha, was
contrary 10 his instructions. He was not to ad-
mil any one but those who had business with
the General, and he could not allow him to en-
Ter The gale. But the Major persisted, and de-
clared he would not be put off in such man
ner; he would see the General in spite of all
the guards in Mexico--he had come with ,ha,

coax the major off, bu, to no purpose. Mean.
while the General, who was up stairs immedi-
ately above the entrance, had been sllen,
witness TO the whole proceeding; stepped 10
the back door and called The Scrgeni to ascer-
tain The cause of The disturbance, and on being
informed that it was an old Soldier who had
served in Canada under him, immediately or
dered our old friend into his presence, where
after having shaken The old man cordially by
the hand he led him 10 seat on The sofa aud

He returned after an absence of year, not only

that have used that medicine in my family

medicine, which did not remove her cough. Al
last he ordered DR.. Wistar's Balsam ofwild Cher
r.. Immediately procured a bottle of your
agent in this place, Mr.. Daniel w. Doty; she
took it, and it cured her cough entirely. Dur
ing the winter had fever myself, which left
me vely weak and feeble, had a severe cough,
which troubled me sometime. | had recourse
to your Balsam again, and found i. highly bene
fclnl; was obliged however to take two bot

your correspondent is at fault in this i'm

piece of information-had it not have
been for the determined stand by the
opponents Of the measure, headed by
Mr.. lamar and his ''lauded colleagues"
the Company would have obtained a
charter free from every incumbrence in
shape oftaX, and also from the obligation
of constructing track for ordinary trav-
el-for all and every advantage that
might have accrued either to the citizens
of Havre de Grace or Perryvllle in the
way of travel, or to the State in the mat
ter OF tax, they would have been under
obligations to the opponents OF the bridge

"TrrE BuExA VISTA MIR. Samuel
Sands, who whlom published in Balt-
more, "rhe Log Cabin" and Subsequent
Iy "The American Whig' has common
ced in that city the publication of new
paper, "The Buena VISTA" devoted to
the advocacy Of General Taylor, in op-
position to any candidate who may be
brought out by the Wing party.
Mr.. Sands and his coadlutors in this
enterprise have perfect right to do as
they please in the premises-just as
much 50, as we have to express our opln
ION OF The Buena Vista, which is, that it
is fatally stabbing the interests of Gene
raj Taylor in Maryland-that it is his
worst cnemv-that it is an unworthy
successor to the two Wing papers above
named, and that it can find no response
to its sentiments among the Wings Of Ce-
ell county.
IF General Taylor is nominated by the
Wing National Convention, we are free
to say that We will exert ourselves to the
utermost to further his cause-as will
also the Wing party of Cecil county;
but we are bound, as true Wings all are,
to defend and support the regular party
organization. If these "Buena Vista"
men succeed to separate General Taylor
from the Wing party, tand their eXer-
tons tend only to that effect and run
hun rs an independent candidate, they
defeat both him and the Wing nominee,
just as sure as the election shall be held.
Our candid, honest opinion is land it
pains us deeply to say SO of those with
whom we have acted heretofore in such
harmonious concert, THAT their movement
is injurious to Gen. Taylor, to the Wing
party, and to the country; and we very
much fear that the selfshness OF some of
the moving spirits overtops their want
of wisdom, for they arc men oftoo much
intelligence to be SO utterly blind to the
effects Of political movements.
