The Taylor men tell some queer stories of"General

both gentlemen being however for the present, 0ccu

past conduct in this wise

had never abused old Whitley.
The wings had large bonfire last night in front Of
their rooms, and their banners o-dsy are hung on
the outer walsn in every direction. We have not

But to leave politics ard turn our attention to mi

the next session Of Congress- that the new tonnage

years The following was the return of vessels built

former years and shows that the United States
are increasing rapidly in their naval their agricul

afraid that the country is in danger" &c long as
such evidences of prosperity be brought for
ward.
Whilst upon the subject of statistics, VIC may :
tion that notice in Ftiladelphia quarterly maya
zine valuable tables with reference to the tariff
and goods in bonded warehouses credited to the
Phiiadeiphia Ledger We compiled the tables in
question from unpublished official sources, and they
were published exclusively in the Ner York Herald,
which paper they stolen unoredited by the
lazy com mercal papers It's matter perhaps, OF no
great momen.-not greater, at all events. than pick

pttss-n laudsbe endeavor to Disguise its offering
Of foreign issue Of stock gravely tells
its readers that none of the above issued &C
count of parties who have made sales abroad" Nav
the truth it all issued in consequence Of sale
made abroad, although none Of Coroorsn and Riggs
stock was transferred in that particular lot.
The Taylor men intend to wait until they see thu
announce mt of Taylor's victory in the Union, be
they make any public manifestation Of their feel
iDgs. They will then have tremendous torch light
