pondent of the New York Mirror, whom
that paper vouches for as an original friend
of Gen. Taylor, writes as follows:
sThe Secretary of the Navy and the Post
master General, as well as the Secretary Of
State, are unpopular with our own party
Collamer is charged with roughness and
uncouthness Of manners. yton with du.
plicit,, and Preston with want of real re.
gard for the service. Against Clayton, a
combination of the whig pless is already at
work. He will feel it IN every quarter, and
he has felt it already.
II conclude with the remarks made to me
by one Of the most eminent. prominent, and
nobIe-minded wings of this city-a man OF
fortune who wants nothing, and yet has
from the start done more for Gen. Taylor
than all the Maxwells, and Hall, and Kings
OF the United States. This administration
which l helped to success will go to the dew
il faster than any other we ever had. We
supposed we were throwing off those con-
temphble influences which so long controll-
ed US. We find them creeping in at every
hole and corner, aud Gen. Taylor made by
his abominable advisers to forswear himself,
or at least forget the pledges which we re-
asserted for him. / dad not a0ork for this }

The Austrian troops at Florence were

A New Weapon.

A new instrument of war is being used
in the contest between Austria and Hunga-
ry A corps of bombardsers is attached to
each division of the army, each man Of
which carries three of these new projectiles,
while another soldier attends with rack, sur
mounted with wooden tube, which serves
to direct the iusee. ...5lrF
The instrument consists of wrought
iron tube, pierced with holes, sharpened at
the point and filled with a fiery matter.
They are so arranged that when they have
accomplished the required distance liquid
fiery matter gushes from below and scat
ters dismay among the horses of the Caval-
ry, The Kissing Of these fiery pointed pro-
jectiles is more terrifying to the horses, than
the noise of the passage Of shells. One sim
gle one tf these sometimes succeeds in car.
rying disorder into squadron.
The Austrians first used them,, but in the
arsenals which have fallen into the hands of
the Hungarians, they found large quantities
of them and are now using them with dead
ly effect. ---s

Fun Ahead.

The whigsfhav had their time of rejoic-
ing over the division of the democratic par
ty in the Empire State, and a pretty good
time for thentit was too. But the tables.
are turning. The disafection which has ex-
listed in the Democratic ranks, by which
the wings have obtained power in that State,
is fast being healed, andthe game of hair
pulling is cdmnencing among the wings.
A new wing paper is ab6utto be started in
Albany, in opposition TO the journal, Thur
low Weed S, paper, and opposed to the
Seward faction. We really believe there is
"a good time coming" The following ar
ticle from the New York Mirror, a whig
paper, will givesome idea Of the storm tina:
is brewing among the wings Of New York:
"Perhaps in no state in7the Union is the
spirit of party bigotry carried to SO cruel an
extent as in this; and nowhere is the Gu. Sc Of
Demaguguism more powsi fully exercised, OF
more keeuly felt than insthe Empire State
There exists at Albany i apolitical sJunto' as
active, as tyrranous aIlaas wicked, as the
Inquisitorial tribunal 81 theaesuits.

unholy purpose of as iE5ag ,the lnordinate
ambition of one ma d struggling ste

on The earth. To beeS1 Ylhig in
New York, it is necessity o sWeas aflegi
ance to this 'Centrala DIVER and,
estoop to kiss yoihg Maeon's feet"
No matter how con&tent mans poit
ical course may haze been, or how disinter
ested the motives ofhis political action; ht
is not a Wing, unless be believes that Sew
ard is god, and Weed his patron saint.
Ii he happened tobe an applicant for Of
flee. he shall not have even the humble po.
sition Of deputy census-taker, unless he
will promise to lay asnest-egg for Seward in
every house; and circulate the Seward tick
ct for 1852. Ifhe publisha newspaper, he
shall OF have line Of the States advertising
unless he will swearto support Weeds can
candidate in his columns!, He may have
been an soriginaP friend Jan early and an ar
dent supporter of General Taylor; he may
have spent thousands Of dollars, and Years
of hard labor in telpipg to bring Whig
/ AdminIstratian;intop p6 ser-and yet it shall
be counted as nothingsas Infinitely worse
than nothing unless he,will fall down and
worship the idol which this self-consttuted
eJunto' have set up! ~
.rsBut we are happy in the belief that sucf
a state of things is not of tendless duration.
The atmosphere iss6lled with murmurs, mo
loud but deep;,, and we begin to smell REBEL
ion in the camp Men will not always sub

cause they cannot believe IN the "infnit
greatness OF Seward, or the immaculate
purity OF Weed. Principles, not men, viii

Gen. Taylor and the Proriss.-At the
Convention held in Cleveland on the 18th,
to celebrate the passage of the Ordinance
Of 1887, Mr.. Austin Wiley, of Maine, ad-
dressed the meeting, and the Cleveland
Herald, in its report, says:
sHe spoke in eloquent and beautiful terms
of the power and influence OF the ordinance
of '87 and declared that its influences must
be extended over all the States, yet to come
into our Union. TO this every northern
man of any party will say amen, and in ac-
cordance with this doctrine the Whig party
lave acted, AID this principle will receive
the sanction of President Taylor the mo-
ment it is placed before him. !"
@Receive the sanction of President Tay-
lori" Well, perhaps the whig papers that
make this assertion, speak from the. books.
But the liability is that they rely upon
his opposition 10 the exercise Of the veto
power, as expressed in the famous Allison
letter. But, had Gen. Taylor expressly de-
clared in that letter, that he would not veto
the Proviso, the wings even should have
learned how little confidence is to be placed
in his pledges. Did he not pledge himself
not to be the President of party, but of
the whole people? Did he not repeatedly
declare that he would not yield himself
to "party schemes? Did he not declare,
and did not whig orators repeat it from
nearly every stand throughout the Union,
that he would prescribe no man on account
of his political opinions? Have not all these
