The Richmond Wing Of the 18th has the follow
ing particulars Of Col. Taylors trip to Washington,
which somewhat differs from the account given Of
it by the Black Republican letter writers to the
New York papers:
Last Sunday, Lieut. Col, Thos. H. Taylor, G. s.
A., Of Kentucky, left this city for Washington,
bearing d letter from President Davis to President
Lincoln, understood to be an official notification of
the course that will be pursued by this Government
in the event of the execution or other criminal
punishment of the prisoners taken on board the
Privateer Savannah. Col. I. proceeded to the
headquarters of Gen. Beauregard, by whom, it is
said, he was furnished with letter to Gen. Nc
Dowen, in command of the Lincoln forces on this
side of the Potomac. He then proceeded to Fair
fax Courthouse, where he was furnished with an
escort of twelve men and two non-commissioned
officers, under command of a Lieutenant, with
white flag. Thence he proceeded towards Airing
ton, enconntering squadron of the enemy's dra-
goons when within about seven miles of that place.
TO whose commanding officer he made known his
errand. Arriving at Arlington, General Scott was
notified OF his presence, and sent q carriage to
convey him to Washington, where he arrived about
3 o'clock Monday night, and delivered his letter to
Gen. Scott Lincoln not being visible. Col. 7.
was then reconveyed to Arlington, where he spent
the night, and the next day was escorted back
through the enemy lines. Gen. S. informed him
that answer to the letter of which he was bearer
would be forwarded to this city by one of his off
GERS. and requested COL T, to deliver his !" kind re-
CARDS y to Generals Lee and Beauregard. Col. T.
while in the enemy's lines was treated with all the
courtesies of the profession.
