A correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser, writing from Paris i nder date of the 27th ult. Mys: 'Paris is at this moment the most quiet, calm and orderly capital of Euiopc; and France, strange to say, is less agitated by external and internal difficulties than any other of the great or email powers, except, perhaps.Russia. London is all astir with the heaving of the Irish volcano; Berlin is aghast at the refusal of Gen. "Wränge I to make an amnesty with the Danes, according to the orders of the king, on the ground thai the central government of Germa ny must decide the question; at Frankfort the constitution makers have ceased their pedantic disquisitions for a moment, to speak the voice of Germany to her recusnt members, though whether Prussia and Hanover an J Bavaria will obey is another matter; at Vienna the Sc laves are out-voting the Germans in the Diet; in Ita ly there is fear of the Austrian?, and that the 'the French will not bring the aid they have o often promised: and everywhere there isdeui ocratic and social agitation, the conflict of ideas and chaos of opinions more confused and interminable in appearance than the ancient chaos, over whose deformities anddiscords was hung the veil of impenetrable night."

Letter tbom Ge. Tatlok. The Memphis Eagle, of the 16th, contains the following letter from Gen. Taylor. It was written to a friend end intended to be "private," but it seenis to have been regarded as a good and sufficient answer Xo all the lies and sanders which have been concocted against him, since his nomination for the Presidency, and this reason, has induced a publicaticn of it. Gen. Lane has said that Gen. Taylor is incapable of falsehood a long life of military service, where, of all other circles, such an offence is regarded as odious, substantiates it and now, we would believe Gen. Taylor's plain denial of the charges against him, sooner than we would the oaths of the men who have lent their names to accusations calculated and intended to injure him before the country. The Locofoco papers may give circulation to falsehoods; and they may obtian the names of camp-followers and miserable partizans to substantiate them, but this honest declaration of Zachary Taylor will far outweigh all such reckless accusations. The people will believe him, when they could not be made to believe statements put forward with the evident design of lying him out of the Presidency just as these knaves attempted by fraud and forgery to destroy the character of John J. Crittenden with the people ofKenluc-kr-Baton Rouge, La., Aug. 5, 1S18. A7y Dear Sir: Your esteemed letter of the 20th ult., enclosing a slip cut from the "Alemphis Appeal," was this moment received, containing statements said to have been made by me disrespectful of the volunteers: among others, that 1 had said they tterc not worth their ralionii and that this can be proved, together with many other evidences of unkindness towards them on my part; all of which is without the tl ig Ii I est foundation. There is but little doubt in my mind that he who invents a falsehood to injure his neighbor or fellow-citi

zen, as well as he who lends himself to and aids, in giving circulation to the same, know ing it to be false, would not hesitate one moment to swear to it on the Holy Bible. AIv numerous official reports to the War Department in relation to the gallant and patriotic volunteers, which have been so extensively published in most of the leading public jour nals of the country, give the lie direct to the tatements in question; and which the gentle men ot tne "Appeal might have known had they looked an iuch beyond their noses, or wished to have made themselves acquainted with all the facts in the case, before they published so gross a slander in regard to one who had never injured them, and whose only crime was. that his name without his agency in the matter, had been brought before the country by a portion of hi.- fellow-citizens for the first office in the gift of a great and free people. As to the romantic story about the wounded soldier at Cuena Vista, (in connexion wifh a Mexican lady) which ended so tragically, and who is said to have been shot by my order, it is without the lightest foundation; nothing of the kind, or even approaching it, ever took place; nor do 1 believe was ever beard of ex cept at Alemphis and vicinity, before it was published in t2e "Appeal; it is on a par with the story that I had rpoken disrespectfully of, and otherwise outraged the volunturs; and a more base and heartless calumny was never propagated. Not a drop of American blood was shed by my order . while in Alexico, nor that of a Mexican, except in the heat of battle. The whole matter contained in said slip is too silly to be credited, nor would I hare notired it" had I not deemed it proper to reply to your friendly communication. I must, from my position, expect to. be assailed by many unscrupulous editors of newspapers, as well as hired demagogues, without regard to truth, decency, or anything else! I have therefore made up my mind not to suffer such things to annoy me, let them emanate from what quarter they may; but to"pursue the even tenor of my way," without turning to the. right or to the left to notice them. With considerations of high respect and es teem. Your friend and ob't. servant. . Z. TAYLOR. The Two Lives. It seems to be very clear from the subjoined statement of the Washing ton correspondent of the Philadelphia North American that Gen. Cass was privy to the fact ol the preparation of the two lives of himself containing the contradictory statements as to his position on the Wilmot proviso question. Indeed there is little room for doubt on the subject, as Cass was at the seat of government at the time, and his friends would not have dared to attempt such ail attrocious decep tion without some sort of consultation with him. The following is "IndepeudentV statement: On the day on which Mr. Alan cum exposed to the notice of the Senate the deception in the two editions of the lite of Gen. Caas, the Hon. John Wentworth volunteered in thtprea enct of otic or more W'hic Senators, a ttate ment to this effect: That he purchased at the office of the Congressional Globe documents for circulation in his district, and among others the life of Cass issued in the month of March. Upon examining the "sketch, he discovered the extract from the Nicholson letter, with a commentary by the biographer, unfavorable to the Wimot proviso. Fearing the political effect of such u document in the fret States,anJ Itcin himself a Wilmot proviso man, he called on Gen. Casx and represented to him, the dangerous tendency of circulating the publication at the North. Gen. Cass informed him that it should le corrected. Some time afterwards he had occasion to visit the Congressional Globe office, vhtn He was informed that an editiou of his lift had just been published better suited to Ms district, accompanied by the voluntary remark, that the first sketch had been issued to secure the nomination, and the other to secure the election. This is substantially the statement made by Mr. Wentworth, and it furnishes the most incontestable evidence that the insertion and suppression if the matter relating to the Wilmot proviso in the different editions of the life of Gen. Cass was a wilful and deliberate fraud concocted for the purpose of operating on the North and South, and of which he was entirely cognizant. The metropolitan organ has attempted to treat this conspiracy with indifference, as if a fraud bo monstrous and touching a question so delicate was matter for baddinagf. I apprehend that the honest people whom it was des-i-sned to deceive will think otherwise, and I ntnsh it with the severest reprobation. At ill evejts, every man who respects the obligations of integrity an I honor in politics must repudiate connectiou with a party, whose can

didate or responsible leaders could be guilty of contriving and executing a fraudulent scheme like this.

From the Indiana State Journal. GEN. TAYLOR AND THE SECOND BEGIAiENT AGAIN. It is now contended that, notwithstanding Gen. Tatlor was perfectly justifiable in say ing all that he did say in relation to the retreat of the Second Regiment, yet, he ought now to correct this report to conform to the facts found by the Court of Inquiry. That we may know what those facts are, read the decision of that Court: " Inquiry in the ensc of Gen. Lane Facts. Thai at the battle of Buena Vista, on the 23rd of February, Gen. Lane commanded the 2d and 3d regiments of Indiana volunteers; that on the2Jd he was in immediate command of the 2d regiment of Indiana volunteers and three pieces of artillery under the command of Lieut. O'Brien and the 2d Indiana volunteers retreated from the field without any orders from Gen. Lane, on the 23d of February; but thro' the exertions of Gen. Lane and other officers, from one hundred and fifty to two hundred men of the 2d regiment of Indiana volunteers were rallied and attached 1o the Alississippi regiment and the 3x1 Indiana regiment, and remained with them on the field of battle dur ing the remainder of the fight. Opinion. the court are of opinion that du ring the whole- period of the 22d and 23d of February, loll, ling. ben. iane conducted himself as a brave and gallant officer; and that no censure is attached to him for the retreat of the 2d regiment of the Indiaua volun teers. - Inquiry in the case of Col. Bowles. In reference to the first charge, it appears from the evidence that Col. Bowles is ignorant of the company battalion, and brigade drills, and inai me manoeuvre oi me evening or me zou February, indicated in the third specification of that charge, was indicative of an ignorance oi me oaiiauon oriii. In relation to the second charge, it appears from the evidence .before the court, that Col. Bowles gave the order, "Cease firing and retreat;" that Gen. Lane was present, and that he had no authority from Gen. Lane to give such an order. It also appears that Coir Bowles retreated after having given the aforesaid command; but that he did not shamefully run away from the enemy, nor did he hide himself in .any ra vine from the enemy, or from the regiment. It appears, too, that Col. Bowles dismount ed from his horse in the rear of his regiment; but there is no evidence to show that he did so to to protect himself from the enemy. lhe court find that the fact of Col. Bowleg having given the order above mentioned, did induce the regiment to retreat in disorder. Col. Bowles gave this order with the inten tion of making the regiment leave its position; but the court does not find that he had been particularly ordered to maintain and defend it. Opinion. With v ferenc e to the first charge the court is of the opinion that Col. Bowles is ignorant of the duties of Colonel; but the court would remark that ill-health has in some degree prevented him from fitting himself for the duties of that office. The court is of opinion that at the time Col. Bowles gave the order "retreat," he was under the impression that the artillery had retreated when in fact the battery had gone to an advanced position under the orders of Gen. Lane, which order had not been communicated to Col. BowJea. And, in conclusion, the court find that throughout the encasement, and through the whole day, Col. Bowles evinced no want of personal courage or bravery; but that he diJ manifest a want of judgment as a commander." A commanding officer can only correct his report from additional facta presented to him in an official manner. He can no more do it on mere rumor than cana Judge on the bench en ter up a judgment upon hearsay testimony. He must have something before him upon which to base his correction. In this instance be has had nothing upon which to found his correction. Neither Gen. Wool, Gen. Lake, or Colonel Davis ever corrected their reports. They remained on file in the War Department, un directed. The proceedings of the Court of Inquiry were never communicated to General Taylor. He never saw them except in a news paper publication; and yet, he is abused be cause he has not corrected his report, and not a word is said because the other officers have not corrected their reports! Is this dealing ex act justice to all men? It is true, Gen. Lane published in the newspapers what he calls his supplemental report, but why was it not laid before Gen. Taylor in hn official manner? Why was the decision of the court of Inquiry not laid before him? For the honor of those whose duty it was to submit these matters to him, we hope it may be found that it was not done for the purpose of preventing his doing that which he is now denounced for not do ing. Gen. Taylor, in his letter to Air. Dunn, says he is yet willing to receive any reports which may exculpate this regiment. Had the deci sion of the Court of Inquiry been submitted to him at the proper lime, the correction would long since have been made. Let the blame rest on those who are guilty, and not upon Gen. Taylor who has done only what bis duty requires him to do. If the 2d Indiana regiment has been slander ed, who has slandered it? We answer Gen. Joseph Lake. He was the first man that ever wrote one word against it, and we dare any man to deny it. Here is the proof. See Ex. Doc. No. 1, page 181, and it will be found that Lake's report is dated, Feb. 25, 1817 on page 191 Col. Davis report is dated Alarcb 2d, 1847 on page 144 Gen. Wool's report is dated, Alarch 4, 1847, and on page 132, General Taylor's report is dated, Alarch 6, 1847. On the 5th of Alarch, Gen. Lane corrected his report by mentioning that he had unintentionally omitted the name of Dr. Johnson; and on the21thof the same month, he made a farther correction, by substituting the word "intend ed"1 instead of "ordered," but there is not one word said in extenuation of the retreat of the Regiment.

The Court of Inquiry was held on the 27th of Apriland yet, from that clay to this,- Gen. Lime has not placed one word on record before Gen. Taylor, or in the War Department, detailing the finding of that Court of Inquiry! Is Gen. Taylor to blame for this neglect? Gen. Taylor is now abused because he did not notice more in detail the part taken by the third regiment, when the Colonel of tliat Regiment did not make his report for near three months after the battle! This is the candor, the honesty of those who now slander General Taylor under the pretence of defending the fame of Indiana. The State wants no such champions. Low indeed would be her character if she stood in need of the aid of such men.

Texas Mikes. An old mine, supposed to hare been formerly worked by the Spmiatds, has been discovered on the upper Nuecess. The shaft had been originally sunk near CO feet, and there are relies of old furnaces and mining tools on the spot indicating that a good deal of labor had once been expended there. On opening the shaft, however, it was found that the mineral was chiefly iron ore, containing bright particles of yellow mica, which induced the Spaniards to work on supposing it was gold. "It is well known that they were so ignorant of geology, says the Houston Telegraph, "that they often made extensile excavaiions to search for gold and silver in rocks that were as destitute of these metals as the forest trees lhat overshadow them. If the mines on the San Saba and Nueces had ever yielded any considerable quantity of the precious metals, some account of them would have been found in the old records of Bexar or lhe Presidia of Rio Grande. "The remains of an old fort, (continues that paper) were discovered on the Trinity, far above the present city of Dallas, about four years ago, by a party of our troops, who were out on aq excursion against the Indians. Short ly after this (ort was ditfcoveted a number of persons traversed the country for miles aiuund it, in search of m'nes; lut their seatch was (ruitle-9, and such, we fear, will be the Feirch of those who ate endeavoring to find valuable silver and gold mines on the fc&n Saba and Nuecess. There are, doubtless, very rich and valuable veins of lead ore in those sections, quite similar to tht lead ores of Missouri and Illinois; but it id very doubtful w hether any valuable mine of silver nr gold will evei be lound in any portion of the countiy watered by the Nuecesi, Colorado, lirazo, or trinity. In the country watered by the Puerco, and the tributaries of the Uio Grande above the mouth of the Puerco, where the primitive rocks abound, we may reasonably expect that valuable gold and sil ver mines may be found," There will, no doubt, be some magnificent Texas minicg schemes concocted, now thai the war is over; but prude it people will look before they leap. There is nothing more dangerous, than bunting after mines o the precious metals, Indian Justice. We clip the following from a New Orleans paper of the oib: - On last Saturday night, at Alandeville, on the other side ot the Like Pouchailrain, an In dian murdered an Indian, by stabbing him with a l"rge knife. A son of the tnuidered man immediately gave information to two ol the tribe, end they took the offender into custody. On Suuday morning a court com posed of ten Indians was formed to hear the case and pass sentence. .The proofs were most concljsive, and the prisoner was at once condemned to death. Whereupon he was measured, his grave marked out, and he himself set to work digging it. When the grave was finished, a rifle was placed in the hands of the murdered Indian's son for the purpose of doing the execution. At tht first shot, death was not produced; the second shot also took eflect, but did not kill. and the stoical violater of innocent lile fe 1 into his grave, and was there finally killed, and covered with the earth as be lay. The court that had condemned him, then took their own instrument of justice in cus tody, and started off lor the purpose of deliv ersng hir'n to the civil authorities ol Covington, to obtain his final discharge as an inn cent man. This relation we personally re ceived from two gentlemen of this city, who were at Alandeville at the lime, and whj al though they did not see the whole of the drama, obtained all lhe . particulars from per sons present during the trial and execution. The trial and execution were had in the most rigid conformity with the customs of the tribe in which all the parties belonred. There was nothing hurried-no violence cf any description. Nor would the culprit es cape, which he might have done, for he w; a not confioed in any manner. Among these Indians, when one had forfeited bis life, ii has been customary to sell the condemned man to any person who would buy, and so restore him, as it were, to life in the present instance, three hundred dollars were offered to the tribe for the crimnaPs life, which was -e fused. The delivery of the executioner ip to the authorities of the Slate, is an imitation ol their more civilized brethren, who vhen they kill in self-defence, surrender themselves for legal discbarge from censure. Whue we lament the condition of these vild men nf the forest, we must admire the promptness with which their justice was ad niuislered, LAWNS, GINGHAMS & LINEN LAWNS AVERY lame assortment of the, newest stylet Please call and examine them. ap 15 .

Old Rough and Ready can victories win In the battle's shock and conflict's din Proud ranks he's made look gory and thin; For if his boys ever seemed to flag, ylore "grape he ordered from Captain Bragg.

Old Rough and Ready it ne'er was said Has worn a thing called a black cockade, Which none but a Blue-light e'er had made Nor did he ever, with rage brim-full, Iii broken sword from a dead stump pull Old Rough and Ready can proudly show, On the crimsoned fields of Alexico, Where his bold arm dealt the fatal blow; And point to the glory of his name To his mighty deed and lofty fame. . .. But Lewis Cass, as the people know. Has ne'er for his country struck a blow, In a bloody conflict with her foe His attention having, as they say, Been turned to a thing called public pay. Cass did, indeed, as the Locos say, When coward Hull yielded up the day, . An old, unoffending, dead slump slay; And so having thus its victim slaiu," The old sword since in the dust has lain. But if he'll fight as he fought before. That thin which he owu'd in days of yore, And on his head it is known he wore The trophies then of his trenchant blade. Will be a stump apd a black cockade ! Is such a chief his country's pride? Can he o'er the field in triumph rule? Wont flough and Ready fast by him slide? For who relies on the speed of naga That run in the face and eyes of snags? No! Cass is not in Us proper sphereTte people know he's a ileal too dear, So back to his homs he'll quickly steer; For when old Zack in the contest goes, What else can betide his tail:uckd foes? i Even now Cass hears "old TFhltey's" tread.
