II is only the Best Fruit OF the Tree that IL
PeIted with Stones.

Gen Taylor has already experienced soma
ofthe unlicensed ribalry which always attach
es to the performance Of apublic duty, where
it nterieres with the designs OF selfish and
desperate men. But of this species ofabuse
he knows but little, when compared with
that which has been visited on two of his
Seeretarles- Messrs. Ewing and Colamer
because, IN the performance Of their APP
proprate functions, they have done some
things which do not seem very gracious
or palatable to the Locofocos. aBlood-
thirsty butchers''-"odous tyrants''-ssexe-
cutioners" Of the "martyrsD in office--and
many other forms Of speech of similar kind,
run through the Locoloco papers as tripping
y as il the epithets were really deserved
II has so happened, that these gentlemen
have had occasion TO relieve certain Of the
Locofocos from the cares Of office, and to
confer them upon others; and it is for no gra-
yer offence than this that they are stigma
tlzed with such foul epithets. The sensible
portion OF the community will be very apt
to conclude, we think, that they have done
nothing more than their duty, and win be
likely to reconcile it with just and patriot
&c regard for the institutions Of the country
Nay, more: Gen. Taylor will hardly be
stopped IN his efforts to reform the Govern
ment, and to bring it back to some degree
OF purity, by the 'speltings" Of the Locofo-
cos, who, after all is said, are governed by
no patriotic motive and only desire to keep
themselves in office. He can stand the mis-
siles thrown from such quarter as this, be-
cause he is conscious that he is only engaged
in the Performance, Of great public duty,
and that he will be sustained by the country.

Mail to Sanfn Fe.

II il be possible for the Postmaster Gen
eral t. establish regular mail route to San
ia Fe, New Mexico, and to appoint Post
masters there, we hope it may be speedily
done. Very. serious inconvenience is felt
from the want Of regular mail communica-
ton with that quarter. As it is, letters care
forwarded to Fort Leavenworth, for persons
in New Mexico, in the hope Of their being
sent out by the Government express, but
this is not done to any consider BILE extent,
and very few papers are thus transmitted
We do not know that authority is directly
vested IN the Postmaster General, by law,
to establish this route, but such instructions
might be given to the Postmaster at Fort
Leayenworth as would ensure the transmits
sion Of all letters md papers whenever the

mother and aunt of some of the menu

for them to read in that far-of land a favor
tie book Upon repacking and examination
the book was rejected and left out. She
discovered It but took occasion to find a place
for it in clothes, not likely to be used until
they should be distant in the wilderness.
On the first encampment early a beautiful
evening, after supper, arrangements Of tent,
and general trial, and display Of camp con-
veniences, including substitute for table,
an examination of baggage and clothing was
entered into. In the pocket Of rough suit
was felt the size, shape aid appearance of a
prohibited article, "Deck Of Cards" The
table still standing, the elderly gentleman
apparently hailing the discovery, exclaimed:
Snow boys we can amuse ourselves, let US
have game just for amusement Just
then, one Of them, unfolding the garment
brought out the "deck" neatly encl sed in
