As inquiries have been made of us, by persons
who seem to suppose it necessary that letter OF
acceptance of the Philadelphia nomination should
be forthcoming from Gen. TAYLOR, it may be proper
to let our readers know that the New Orleans
papers state that UP to the latest date Of informa-
ton from the Generals residence he had not re-
ceived any official communication on the subject Of
his nomination, and could not of course have ac-
knowledged it.

1t is one of the and pleasing peculiarites Of
the times that men Of the most eminent religious
character find in the character of Gen. TAYLOR
those high moral traits which command their warm
appreciation. 1t is one Of the noblest tributes to
the moral worth of the Wing candidate. The fol-
lowing is an illustration OF this fact:
Conference ofihe Congregational and Presbyterian
ministers Of Hllsboro county, IN. H. assembled the
18th OF June, the Rev. Mr. LAMB, who formerly chap
lain IN the army under Gen. TAILOR at Fort Jesup said that

was all sham for pretend he could not stand the

LAMB also stated that Gen. T. attended bis church regularly
and used proane language Mr. Lamb closed saying that
he politician did he wish his remarks to be view
ed in political light; he merely made them to show that
the way for doing good by tracts by the temperance cause
and by the preached word was opened by Gen. Taylor"

One of the many interesting incidents of the late
celebration of laying the cornerstone of the Ma
tional Monument to WASHINGTON was the presence
in the procession and at the ceremonies of the In
dian Delegations now at the seat of government.
The Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and
Stockbridge nations, denzens Of the far West were
represented by some of their principal chiefs and
headmen at the imposing tribute paid on the Fourth
of July to the memory Of WASHINGTON, under
whose Administration their forefathers had some OF
the earliest treaties Of peace and friendship, and
whose image was here and there, still borne on the
ancient medals which proudly adorned the breasts
of several Of the most aged of the Indians. These
silver medals were inscribed 1885," and repre-
scented Washington in the act Of shaking hands with

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The readers attention will be strongly arrested
by the Message which the President sent to Con-
gress on Thursday touching our Mexican relations !;
and there are few, we presume, who will not be
amused at the claim to credit set up by his Excel
lency on account of the war into which he SO UNI
necessarily and unrighteously plunged the country,
and which, after costing us some thousands Of
valuable lives and some hundred or two millions of
money, we are extricated from by agreeing to pay
our Mexican claims ourselves (which we went to
war to make Mexico pay and giving her many mil
lions more to make peace for it cannot be serious
ly urged that the distant deserts which Mexico
grants us are any equivalent for the money she re-
ceives indeed, we might well afford to give her
i've times as much TO take them back again.
1t is not our purpose, however, to enter into
animation Of the merits Of this Message at this
moment. The importance Of its topics, its falla-
cies and its false assumptions, merit more search
ing and formal exposition than we can give to them
to-day.

assemble again in New Jersey inquire the charges
tered against Gen. ScoTT.-Philad. Ledger.
We could not have believed the fact possible
which is stated above in regard to General ScoTT,
if it were not, to utter surprise, confirmed by
what we have heard here at the seat of Government.
But for this, we should have regarded the statement
as calumny on the Administration. That the
illustrious and veteran Chief of the Army, whose
fame is interviewer with the brightest pages of his
counry's history during period Of nearly forty
years, and whose skill and valor have just brought
bloody and costly war to an end, and given peace
once more to his bleeding country thathe, at such
a moment, and on the heel of achievements so glo-
rious, should have been ordered by the President,
whom, by his victories, he has saved from over
whelming condemnation, to be arraigned and tried
as culprit, upon charges, as we understand the
most frivolous,) surpasses any thing recorded in
history. But such, we are compelled TO believe
is the outrageous fact.
