Hi. D.par,ur. from Baton Rouge,

On the morning of the 23d ult., the citizens
Of Baton Rouge assembled for the purpose of
paying their respects 10 Gen, Taylor, previous
to his departure for Washington, 10 assume
The duties of President of the United States.
The correspondent of the Pioay.ne says the
procession formed at II o'clock, and proceed
ed to the residence of Gen Taylor, who re-
ceived his visiters with his usual kindness of
manner, and an animated conversation ensu.
ed, mainly confined to matters of personal
interest, such as usually takes place between
neighbors and intimate friends. After having
partaken Of some refreshments, the General
was, at the instance of many present, address
sed by J. B. Thorpe, Esq, in the following
language
"General-l have been depu,ed by your
fellow citizens to bid you their adieus on
this interesting occasion. 1t is with painful
emotions that they have assembled 10 say
farewell. In parting with you, nothing re.
comedies them 10 their loss, except the full
knowledge that you are needed by your coun-
try elsewhere. Believe me, General, when
lsay, that you will leave behind you in Ba.
ION Rouge, united community of personal
friends, every member of which, young and
old, joins in heartfelt prayer that you and
your family may, in your future home, be
blessed with long life, continued health and
unbounded prosperity"
To which Gen. Taylor, with much emo.
tion, replied in the follow ing words
'Gentlemen, | assure you it is with feel
ings Of no ordinary character, that NEE
with my fellow-citizens on this occasion
many of whom have been associated will
for more than quarter of century. Had
consulted my own wishes, should have mucl
preferred TO retain the office am now abou
TO vacate, and have remained among YOU
but the people have, without my solicitation
seen fit to elevate me to another, and although
fear am not qualified to discharge tn
great and important duties imposed upon me
yet be assured, fellow-citizens, shall endea
vor to fulfil them without regard 10 fear, ia
vor or affection forany one.
"Permit me, my friends, at parting, 10 in
woke God's blessing upon you all, and may H
grsnt that you and your families may enjo
long life an prosperity Farewell"
The general delivered the above addres
with unusual feeling, and it was responded /
in truly heartfelt manner by many gray
haired citizens, who have for so many yeaI
been his friends and neighbors

in substance, that, "Ifa man had been guilty
