Letter from General Taylor.

The following is copy Of Gen. lay

rotary of War, of 9th January. 1347,
communicated to the L. States House of
Representatives, pursuant to a resolution
Of that body:

have had the honor to receive your
communication Of January 81. enclosing
newspaper slip, and expressing the regret
of the Department. that the letter copied
in that slip, and which was addressed by
myself to Major General Gaines. should
have been published. Although your let

the Department and the President. yet

Of the paragraph in the regulations Of l8-

come subject Of Executive disapproba-
ton. To any expression of it. coming
with the authority of the President. am
bound by my duty and respect for his high
office, patiently to submit: but lest my 81
lence should be constructed into a tacit
admission of the grounds and conclusions
set forth in your communication, deem it
duty which l owe to myself 10 submit
a few remarks in reply.
shall be pardoned for speaking plainly
In the first place, the published letter bears
upon its face the most conclusive evidence
that it was intended only for private peru
sal. and not at all for publication. 1t was
published without my knowledge, and
contrary to my wishes.-Surely. l need
not say. that am not in the habit of writ

familiar one, written to an old military
| friend, with whom | have been for many
years interchanging opinions on profess
sional subjects. That he should think
proper. under and circumstances. to pub
| lish it, could not have been forseen BY me.
In the absence Of proof that the publica-
ton was made without my authority or
quotation in your letter Of the 65Oth para
graph of their suspended regulations Of
1895, in which the terms .'mischievous and
di.graceful" are employed to characterize
certain letters or reports. conveys. though
not openly, measure Of rebuke, which. &c
say the least. is rather harsh, and which
many think not warranted by the premises

In consequence Of the change in their terms
of selling, they are enabled to offer SCHOOL

BLANK BOOKS, PAPERS, &C., at pri-
ces so greatly reduced from former rates, as
to make it to the interest of all who deal in
these articles to purchase from their stock.
Hitherto the system of crediting small

ner will be very considerable per centage
on their purchases.
/ Few dealers in the country buy more than
5000 worth of stationery in season, many
not over one-balf, and large portion not
more than one-tourth that amount. There is
not a dealer, therefore, who visits Phlladel-
phla who would be inconvenlenced by paying
these small sums in Cash, and as each can
save money by doing so, H. e. II. believe
hey are offering an inducement which will
gladly be embraced by those who make their
purchases in Philadelphia. Those who enter
into such an arrangement will be enabled to
sell at prices much below their former rates
at home, and will consequently reap larger
aggregate profit from the increased amount
of their sales.

and type work, and an extensive Bindcry,
