General TayIor's Hat.

The New Orleans Delta gives the following ac-
count of an amorphous title" under which Gen.
Taylor shades his knowledge box =
The distinguished candidate of the Wings takes
matters quite easily, at his pleasant residence in
the barracks at Baton Rouge. We saw him walk
ing about town, chatting very famiiarly with the
citizens, and that same old immense boat shaped
hat sent him by some friends in Tennessee. BY
the way we are puzzled to divine what motive
could have prompted the Tennesseeans to bestow
such gift upon the old general, who certainly,
however, people may differ upon his political quail
ifications, has deserved better treatment than to
be condemned to wear this misshapen, heavy, un-
comfortable and ungrateful chapeau. Had this
hat been sent to Gen. Taylor after the battles of
the 9th and 9th Of May, he would never have had
reason to complain Of the absence of his pontoon
train-for he might have converted this wonderful
production Of Tennessee skill into boat Of sufi-
cieht dimensions to transport whole regiment al
once across the Rio Grande. We are amused at
the dry reponse of a citizen of Baton Rouge, of
whom we made enquiry where the general was to
be found. ' You see that big white thing looming
out down there on the levee % Yes:n .sWell.
that's old Zachariahs hat, and you'll and the old
chap somewar in the neighborhood."

The Society Of Friends.

eofoco newspapers continue to revile the Society

voted at the late election. Have not the members
Of that Society the common right of American
citizens TO vote as they choose, without being
questioned for it. much less publicly reviled for
ri Are they under the guardianship of Locofoco
editors and poll committees Are they bound to
vote as these men wish And if they do not-if
they vote as they chocse-are they to be punished
for it 4 Are they subject to this odious tyranny
These ouirages, committed 50 often BY Bocofo-
coism upon the rights of the members of this So
ciety, are too gross to be borne in silence. We
denounce them as most fragrant violations of every
right of the Friends, and of every sentiment of
republicanism. We denounce those who commit
them as iyrants al hearts. who are utterly destitute
of the principles Of freedom, and fit only to be
TO be slaves themselves. American citizens. who
endeavor to destroy the liberty of opinion of so
unobsirasire and retiring set Of men, as the
Friends, deserve TO forfeit their own liberties

Another MYSTERY.

A young lady, about 8 years Of age, named
Marietta Smith, the daughter OF Respectable
parents, and a teacher Of good standing in one
of our public schools. had suddenly disappeared
under most extraordinary circumstances. The
facts are these: One day last week, Mr.,
Smith, The mo,her of the los, girl. Who resides
a, 100 Green street, received letter through
Ihe local post, apparently written by frmaa,
informing her that conspiracy had been form
ed to abduct and ruin her daughter. and stating
that The umos. vigilance would he necessaiyU
prevent its consuffmarI0n. The letter was
shown to Marietta, and several friends Of the
family, most of whom considered Il hoax"
The young lady herself declared tha, she had
no, the remoiesi idea Of the source from whence
il came. But the prophecy was soon to be fuI
filed On Saturday The 4'h inst, Miss SmlIh
left her home for The Normal School in Grand
street. Subsequently she called al The house
of friend in Elizabeth street. and at an early
hour in the afternoon left the latter place. in
happy and cheerfu. moi,d. on her return home
From that Iime TO the present she has not been
seen or heard Of by her friends. and her fate
remains painful mysesy. The ciIy mag'r
tra,es, the police, the school society, and Tho
friends Of .he family, have been unwaried IN
their exertions 10 discover her whereabouts
bu, no clue Whatever has yet been ob,aIned.-.
IL the unfortunate girl had sunk into the earth,
every trace Of her could not have been more
completely liberated. Letters and tslegraphI'
