TRIBUTE OF GEN. SMITH TO GENE.

TRIBUTE OF GEN. SMITH TO GENE
RAJ TAYLOR.-General Persifor f. Smitt
is known 10 the whole Union as one OF the
most distinguished military men OF our coun
try. He is a through and even a violent Dem.
crdt, but, having served under Gen. Taylor in
the Florida war and again in the battle o.
Monterey. he possesses the means of forming
a correct estimate Of the old hero's character.
and he has too much honesty and maniiness
and generosity and chivairy not to be willing
to speak what he thinks. We subioin an ex.
tract from one of his letters to friend in
New Orleans, and we are sure our readers
will agree with US that such testimony from
such source is truly lofty compliment TO
the noble qualities of the hero of the age:
CRY or MExlco, April 8, 1913.
General Taylor's military exploits are not
the causes OF his popularity; they are only the
occasions tor the display OF his sound Judge
ment, energy OF character, lofty and pure sense
OF justice, and incorruptible honesty. He has
as much reputation for what he has written
us ToI what lie has done, because even where
the composition is not his own, the senti.
ments, motives, and feelings are; and every
hing he says, as everything he does, is mark.
ed by the purity and holiness OF his W
character.
have never heard of any one, however cor
rupt, or base himself, that, alter five minutes
conversation with Gen. Taylor, has dared to
propose, or even hint at, anything dishonest
or mean. And no intercourse in the ordina.
ry events of common life can give the true
idea OF the loitiness of his character. | re-
member your asking me at the time he was
put IN command at Corpus Christi, whether
ne was equal to the circumstances. | told YOU
OF his sound judgement and inexhaustible en-
ergy as | had learned them in Florida, but |
did not then estimate properly the other high
er points OF his character. In the campaign
on the Rio Grande, ! saw him tried under all
circumstances and he always came out pure
gold.
His profession that he will be the candi-
date OF no party will, ii he be elected, BE- car
RED out IN his practice-not that his opinions
on matters OF policy may not be those of one
or the other party;-on most Of these he is q
Hhtg, and he Is not the man TO act adverse
to ms own opinions; but no party manage
ment or power can ever lead him to dol mean,
or what he thinks a wrong, thing.
As soon az Gen. Taylor was furnished by
events with the opportunity to display his
character, you see that it was estimated pro-
perry al once. andl come back TO the Truth of
the proposition | started with, that | believe
the people will always properly measure
great men.
Your sincere friend.

to Taylor, and not counting Tuck and
Levin either way,) to lie democrats. in
Guiding Wilmot and three or four free

A London letter of Sd November, in
the Now York Commercial Advertiser,
says:
The general health of London for the
past two or three weeks has becn above
tho average. but the cholera remains
with us, and although tho cases are not
numerous, the proportionate mortality is
large. Up to the present time it has
been worse at Edinburgh than else where,
tho official reports, from it's commence.
ment on the 4th up to the 30th of October
showing 27S cases. 16i deaths, Ga re-.
coveries and 6s remaining.
Amongt the multifarious remedies EN-.
p'oyed, chloroform has just been tested
by one London practitioner. who reports
having used it in 12 cases, 10 Of which il
was attended by perfect success, while as
regards the remainingtwo, which proved
fatal, the chloroform was not resorted to
until the patients were both sinking. The
sufferer is kept under the influence by
inhalation as long IS the symptoms recur.
In some instances he will sleep for twen-
ty minutes or half an hour. in others for
several hou.s, aud on awaking will again
be seized. One of the cases required
the use Of tho chloroform at intervas s for
twenty four hours. Altho.' however
these trials Of chloroform seem sa,isfac,o.
tory and hopeful. it will not do to be
very sanguine, regarding them. Innu.
merable other remedies on their frat trial
in this disorder have been reported upon
as equally successful, and in the course Of
short time have been found as ineffi.
cient as those which they weret to displace.
Indeed this extensive aud remark able
success, which not only in cholera but in
oil other disorders is so frequently found
to attend the first administration Of newly
discovered remedies, is a curious point
worthy of Investigation. Perhaps the
ardor and confidence of the physician
communicate themselves to the patient,
and tho cure is thus then in some degree
mesmeric ono.
