on the Sabbotb Is spoken of in terms OF merlted
Reproduction by the religious newspapers of that
city, and by the religious press generally. If
General Taylor tramples on the Sabbath, no
general uprightness of character no meas
ure of patriotic devotion, can command for him
the love aud respect of his countrymen genefal-
ly, or even OF the party which has placed him in
power. Trained in camps, General Taylor
would not be likely to estimate the Sabbath pre-
cisely as he would have done had his life been
spent IN civil empoyments. Such an abuse of
the Sabbath as that complained of, however,
cannot he pallaed by soldiers license For
the honor OF our country, whose chief magistrate
General Taylor u.s. and for the sake OF that good
esteem IN which his manly frankness and homes
ty and general good nature lead us to hold him,
we are glad Of an niimation which casts the re-
sponsbility of the Louisville dissertation, in the
first instance, upon others. The Baptist Banner,
published at Louisville, says:
1T was reported here that he had sent forward
an earnest request to those who had the direction
of affairs here, enreating them to have no pa
rade on the Sabbath, but that they should allow
hlm TO pass quietly in private conveyance
through the city to his sisters, four miles above
town, and That on Monday, he would submit
himself TO their ishes."
The Generals Two or three weeks ago it
was reported that Gen. Taylor had written TO
Gen. Scott inviting him to come to Washington,
and witness the Inauguration. Scott did not
accept the invitation. But on Sunday, the 18Th
March, he was in Washington and attended
Pine Street church, as did Taylor, and alter the
services the President shook Gen. Scott cordial
ly by the hand, and invited him to call at the
white house. lie accordingly called on NJ on
day and sent up his card. The President, being
engaged with couple Of visitors in his Office,
told the servant to invite Gen Scott into his
private parlor. Within five minutes President
Taylor went down to the parlor, and found that
Gen. Scott had not waited, but entered his car
rage Immediately and drove off. On Wednes-
day he left Washington, without taking any
furher notice of the hero Of Buena Vista. All
this is vouched for by Mr.. Webb, of the New
York Courer.--PoSt.
Flight Of Fancy.-IL is well known that the
Herald newspaper publishes now and then n
piece of news which turns out to be mere pro
duct of somebody's Imagination. Last Friday,
for instance, it had a Telegraphic letter from
Washington giving an account of supposi.
tious Cabinet Council at which Messrs. Ewing
and Collamer were in favor of official proscrip-
ton, and The President and Messrs. Meredith,
Crawford, Preston and Johnson against il. In
consequence of thus being in the minority the
writer let it be understood that Mr.. Ewing and
Mr.. COllamcr might resign; Mr. Fillmore he
said was also in fnvor of prescription. The MI
fiondt Hhig says that there is not a single word
Of truth in the statement from beginning to end,
and that such formal disavowal is due to the
eminent gentlemen, whose names have been
thus unwarran'ably dragged before the public to
give counlenance to piece Of sheer fiction.
