Stories of General Dick Taylor.

The New York papers devote
much space to anecdotes Of General
Richard Taylor, the famous Con,
federatc officer, who died in that
city recently. In his faculty fol
expressing himself epigrammati'
cally, General Taylor rcscmblsd his
father. This is illustrated by his
reply to his father, President Zach
ary Taylor, when the latter was
elected. The President wrote to
Dick, inviting him to Washington
TO act rs his private secretary.
Dick refused tho offer haughtily,
saying that he wouldn't play Sec
ond fiddle even to the President of
the United States"
General Dick Taylor's first re-
markable service was in Stonewall
Jackson's famous campaign in the
Valley of Virginia. At Port Re-
public the Louisiana Brigade car
riod the day and responded with
cheers to Jackson's command,
"Ths battery must bo taken!"
General Taylor was not a great adj
mircr of Jackson, whom he has
described as q man given over to
lemon sucking and prayer. On
this occasion, riding on the flank Of
his column, between it and tho
hostile line, hc saw Jackson beside
him. Taylor did not consider that
this was the place for the comman-
der of the army, and ventured to
tell him so; but he paid no atten-
ton to the remark. "We reached
a shallow depression where tho
enemy could dcpress his guns" !"
says General Taylor, "and his fire
became close and fatal. Many men
fell, and the whistling Of shot and
shell occasioned much ducking OF
heads in the column. This an
noyed me no little, as it was but
child's play to the work immcdi-
atcly in hand. Always an admiror
of delightful Uncle Toby, l had
contracted the most villainous
habit of his loved army in Fland-
ors, and forgetting Jackson's pres
cnce, ripped out: What in the
hell arc you lodging for? Ifthere
is any more of it you will be halted
under this fire for an hourr The
sharp tones of a familiar voice
produced the desired effect, and
the men looked as though they had
swallowed ramrods: but | shall
never forget the reproachful sur
prise expressed in Jackson's face.
He placed a hand on my shoulder,
and said in a gentle voice, 4 am
afraid you are a wicked fellow
turned and rode back to the pike"

Professional Ge,,erosity.

a lawyer in Delhi, New York,
who was employed by alady in
Hancock to collect an account,
neglected to remit the amount, and
when a demand was made on him
for it, coolly said that the whole
amount was fiften dollars less than
his usual charge in such cases,
but soeing that his client was
a woman he'd call'it square. AL

We regret TO observe the tendency
Of large and influential portion of
our American press toward the publ
cation Of the grossest species of inf
delity-the vagaries of eccentric fools
who dabble in that which, by nature
and education, they know least about.
Every speculative pagan in the land,
who possesses the ability to put his
crude and blasphemous WITNESSES on
paper or into words, appears to be a
welcome contributor to many journals
whose conductors surely do not con-
slider the responsibility they take in
thus scattering the vilcst and most
pernicious trash broadcast among a
people none too wise or happy at best.
Many Of these productions assume to
he scientific, some historical, rhetori-
cal or oratorical. but in them all turks
the unmistakable presence of hell's
chiefmagistrate, the father of lies and
of radicalism, and the prompter and
patentee of all soul destroying delu-
siOns and receptions. [Bentonville

decisively that she could never be his

threatened 10 shoot him if he discard.

New York. She followed, showed
him a pistol that she had bought, and
declared that she would kill him if he
