General Taylor. From the X. Y. Evening Putt, Aug. 17. The subjoined communication cumes, we believe, from a correspondent who has before written for this paper, and who always writes intelligently. We have not compared his statements with the documents to which he refers, so as to verify his assertions, and are not, therefore, responsible for them. It is very proper, however, since General TayloT is proposed A a candidal for the Presidency, that his claims to the office should be freely examined and discussed. GENERAL TAYLOR. The adniration now ptjfessed for ibis gentleman ty northern whi$. and their desire to elevate him to the chief Wtiaitacy of the Republic, atTud a striking illustration of the ineon.istei.cy of human na me, and of the wide gulf ,hich o frequently epirates party policy fiom moral principle. The northern whi; have most emphatically given in their adhesion t the Wilnaot PiovUo, and jet they are laboring to place in the executive tbair a man who is now upported at the south, avowedly as the nti-Wilrnnt proviso Candida 'e ; a man who is to be par excellence the pro slavery candidate, and who declares he will riot accept a nomination from the whig or demociatic parties is such ! ,. The whi. being in oip si'iin to Mr. Polk, of course Renounce the leading measures of his administration, and are tilled with virtuous iodFguati.n a.'aiust the Mexican wait it is an unnecessary wicked aiidan unconstitutional war; 10 abort it is the Piesidenl' own w ar, commenced and waged fr the extension of slavery. Now, most strange i ii.thit the man who bu been Mr. Polk's mot willing, aye, oicious agent, in kindling the flames of this wicked war, is, in the opinion, of the time whigs, a patriot of the first watei a second Vahiogtnn a man of such transcendent virtue, that he is to be entrusted with the first ffice in the gift of ihe people, wi hout any inquiry into his political piinciples, any knowledge of the policy he would pursue. We now pioceed to trove that the Mexican war vas pre cipitated by Ihe toluntary action of General Taylor, in disobedience of the orders he had received from Ike government. The march to the Rio. Grande we are asuied by the whigs, was the cause of the war. Be it so, and we ask, did General Taylor appiove of and recommend that march i Let officii I dM-ument answer the question. On Ihe loth of June, ISt), while still in Louisiana, he i ordered to select and occupy on or near te Rio Grande such a site as would consift wnti the health of bis troops, &c. On the 4th of the ensuing October, iu his letter to the department, he assign viruus reasons for having taken a portion at Corpus Chns i, iostrad of one on or near the Rio Grande, but makes no reference to the danger cf a collision with the Mexicos that would aiise from taking the latter position. On the contrary he remai ks, " If our government, in settling the question cf boundary, makes the line of the Rio Giamle an

ultimatum, I cannot d iubt that the ettlemmt will be greatly ' facilitated and hastened by our tjking possesion at once of j one or two suitable points on or quite near lh.it river. .Our at length and täte of preparation should be displayed in a m ..... ..

Iu what prir this selection was aa ide, we learn from his letter of ihe 6th of April. A bit'ery far four eighteen pounders will be cwnpieud, and the guns placed in the batteiy to-day. Tliese guns bear directly upon the public quaie of Miiamorat, and within tT'od rane for demolishing the town. Their oert cauuot be mistaken by tie enemy, and will, I think, effectually testrain In m frum any enteiprie on our side of the river." Thus did he, on his own ieponibility, in time of peace, point his cannon against the city of a neuhboiin republic, boasting his ability to demoli-h it. Was it possible to olTer more aggravating in-ult to tire Mexicans, or to take anv , measure short of active hos'iliiy, more likely to excite war ? Yet be was told in his instructions of the 13th of January, ." It is not designed, in our present lelat.ons with Mexico, that you should tieat her as an enemy." et in defiance of hi. i..4t....r.., k -u,r s.i.:: ; this inst.uctioo, he speaks of the Mexicans as " the enemy. and makes his guas bear directly upou the public square of Matamoras !" In the same letter of the 13th of January, the Secretary of War, insisting upon the rrght of the United Stis in common with Mexico to navigate the Rt Grande, tells him, ' You mill not attempt to enforce this right without inttructions." How was ibis induction obeyed ? On the Ilthof April, General Arnim. Iii ariived at Matamoras and found the gieat square of the city commanded by a fort erected by Taylor on territory claimed by Mexico. He sent a summons to the American General to withdraw his forces within twenty-four houis, and to retiie to the other side of the Nueces. Ou this, Taylor writes to the Secretary of War, "Iconsideied the letter of Gen Ampodia sufficient to warnot me in bloc king up the Rio Grande, and stopping all supplies for Matamoras." Yet ihr veiy l tier, announcing the blockade, tJmiis that no hostile movement had yet been made "by the foice under Ampudia. In his letter of tte 23d of April. Geueral Taylor says that in consequence A bis blockade two vessls about to enter the river witli provisions f .r the city had been wanted off, and he adds: It (the blockade) will at any iate compel the Mexicans 'ither to withdraw the army from Matam na, where it rannot be subsisted, or assume the offensite on this side of the river." Here let us pause a mmneut and lefiVct. Mexico and the United Slates were at peace no declaration of war iad been issued; do shot had been fired on either side. A body of Mrxicao Hoops were poted in Mjtamor3,a Mexican ei'y.in the acknowledged territory of that republic t and they were posted there after an American army had iuvaded the di'tuctof the Rio Grande, claimed to be Mexican teiritory.and in the actual occupation of the Mexican people; and after that army bad encamped befoie the city, and erected a battery capable of demolishing it. General Taylor, although expressly futbidd n to enfoice our common riht to navigate the river, determines to enforce our exclusive liht, and orders ships of war to the mouth of the river to pievent the entrance of vessels carrying proviions to the Mexican ci'y I and then boasts tb.it the Mexican troops being thus by his act deprived of food, will be compelled either to retiie or else to cross the liver and fiht him. Such was the effect of bit blockade, that the newspapers of the day stated that flour in Matamoras roe to forty dollars a barrel. For this act of willful, unprovoked aie-sii n ; for this palpable breach of our pacific relations, Ueneul Taylor is solely reeponsibie. To proceed. Tbe General was instructed June 8. 1S4S ' This deoartment is informell thar Mvi-n hi, c- , iy establishments on the east si le of the Ri3 G.ande, which are, and for some time have been, in the actual occupancy oi mir iroop. in carrying out the instructions heietof-i.e received, you will be careful to avoid any acts of aggression unless an actual state if war exists.

Of course the garrisons oi these posts were not to be bi it ed ; they wei to come and gj at pleasure; but no considerable fijree was to be permitte I to cros the river. On the 13:a of April the Cetieial repotted "no hostile movement bss yet bern made by his ( Ampulla' force." On the 23 J, he rites, Sinre my last di'pa'ch of the 15th instant, tbe lelatiotis between me and the Mexicans hate not changed;" and yet, in the same letter, he tells the Secretary of Wir, " wi h a view to check the d. pre.laiions of small parties of Mexicaus ou, ihn side of the river, Lieuts. Dobbins, 3d lufiutty, and Pjrter, 4h Infantry, weie autf o-rize-Iby me, a fw days iure, to scour the ouutry for tome miles wi h a select party of men, and capture and destroy any such pirties that ihey nriht mtet wi h. It appears tliey separated, and thit Lieut. Totter, at Ihe head of his own detach en, surprised a Mexican camp, drove away the men, and took possession f their horses." Here we find Tay lot, in time of peace, cnntraiy to express orders, assu-ning the ctfensive, and malvin war against Mexico, by sendu-g out Hoops to capture ad destroy small parties of Mexicans.

Not only are trie Mexican patties, in time of peace, to be captured and desfioyed, but iheir hores aie to' be seized. , The General dies not ull us whether any or how much Mexican Hood was shed on the occasion, but Lieut. Poiter was slain. Who is responsible for Lis death Mr. Polk or Öeneial Taylor ? Whether the match lo the Jtio l?;aad did or did not cau.e the war, the first blow in the contest was given by Gen. Taylor in diiect violation of orders. The attack on Ihe Mexicans I y Porter's detachment occuried on the 19th, and we hear of ro further collision till the 21th. On tbe 2Gth of April, Taylor writes, M 1 regret to i e port that a party of draz ions sent out by me oa the 21th inst.. lo watch the course of the liver above on this bank, became engaged with a very large force of the enemy, aud' after a short aiTair, in which some sixteen were killed and wounded, appear to base büen surrounded and compelled to iurrender." It is a little singular that, after his oidrrt to scour the countiy. to captuie and destroy, the General shoult be su very guarded in bi lan.'uarfe as lo use ihe expiesion " became engaged.

In the ashinyton Union of 11th instant, is a communication from the pen of the Hon. Aiihm Lane, of this Slate, concerning1 the conduct of the Indiaun troop on the battle-field, and the colors of tlie two Regiments. It is in reply to certain tdindorom assertion's made by one of tde returned prisoners of Majors Gaines and Borland's party in Mexico; aud H well worthy the pen uf an Indianian. But the writer has unintentionally fallen into an error concerning the Hag of the eccond Regiment, which we deem it our duty to correct, in jutice to those who so galinntly preserved it when about to fall into ihe hands of tlie enemy. After speakinf very properly of the retreat of the Regiment, he observes : "Most of them (the men) rallied and fought like veterans; a few did not, Jut went like many other t to the latich. In this retreat the color bearer beim; wounded, fell, and with him the flag of the regiment. Major Dix of the paymasters department, com in up at the moment, u-coveied thee colors and handed them to Lieut. Kunkle of the same Regiment, who boie them most Rillantly the balance of the day. These colors weie brought home with the Ilrgiment, and are now io the bands oi Captaiu Sanderiou of New Albany, Iudiaua." We have been definitely informed of the whole history of this flag, by many who ft ught under its stars and stripes,' and who were with it from the beginning to the end of the campaign. Tlie following statement condensed from a full account of it furnished us by request by one of the "Lawrence Greys,' may be relied on as correct. The fl.ig was made and presented to tlie Spencer Greys," by the patriotic ladies of New Albany, la., b:tore the Regiment was orcanizeil : nftpr if . J .1 ' n .

The fact, as we understand it K, that the bearer was left in the rear, in the retreat, and when wounded t!ie colors fell from his hands ; young Moberly, soon ufler, casting a glance behind him, saw them lying on the ground, and immediately returned in the face of the advancing enemy, to where Ihey lay, and when the Mexicans were within a few paces of him, and tlioir balls were literally riddling his clothes, although none of them touched him, snatched them from their resting place, raised them aloft in triumph, and soon rejoined his comrades. This was a brave and noble deed worthy of a Jasper, and deserves to uisiory am re,nL,nbei . i. v . i i Buena Vista is heard be. recorded on the page of inhered as lonr as the name of The principal of these facN, we received from Major Gorman, on his return from Mexico, several weeks bstfore t.he return of the Regiment. We make this correction with pleasure not to disparage in the least the fair fame of Major Dix, for brave aud noble daring, nor yet with a wish to derogate from the high merit of the excellent communication of Mr. Lane, who has exhibited a laudable desire to defend the reputation of his State, and her citizen sold.ers, but to dojustice to all without distinction of rank, and because we condemn from our heart tlie disposition too prevalent, to crown the o'Jicer with laurels unjustlv torn from the brow of the brave private. No Fiction. Not a very long time ego, one of the most eloquent divines of Great L'ntaiti, occupying one of the most important pulpits of the Kingdom, became so much affected by the use of wine repeatedly, that he was summoned to give an account of himself. He could not bear, he said, to stand for trial on such a charge, before men whose only superiority over him consisted in the possession of harder heads, which could endure potions that overthrew him. He accordingly left his high position, and, under an as sumed riame, took passage in the steerage of a ship bound to America. At one of our principal interior towns he took lodgings at on obscure hotel, where for a while he bore up under all the pressure upon him, an'J lived without excessive indulgence. But at length he returned to his glass more recklessly than ever, got into a bmil with low fellows, for which he was arrested, and with others compelled to labor in prison. There of course he was temperate, but the deep degradation of his condition prevented him from disclosing his real name. At length a visiter looking at him, thought he discovered traits not common in the prison, and having procured liberty from the keeper, address-ed the prisoner, saying, "Sir, I juuge trom your beuring that you have seen better "rcumitanc" tUn llie which you are in at presc " 'es I have," replied the pfis nef, s'iieiJlling W sent." tears. By persevering kindness the visiter was able at len gth to obtain the real name of the fallen man, and the story 0f hj3 degradation. He repaired to a clergyto the prison. It was so; there was his eloquent pastor, working among felons ! By application to the proper authorities the prisoner was released from confinement, and under the care of kind friends it is hoped that his great talents may be employed in high usefulness again. A. 1'. Journal if Commerce. Mortality at Grosse Island, Canada. The number of deaths is really astonishing. The Medical Superintendent at Grosse Isle, publiNhcd on the li.llh u!t., a statement of the number of dea;hs which had occurred on thi Island from the lUth of May inclusive. The number which died in the Hospiial d:.rmg that period was 1,153; on hoard the vereis, and buried on the Islahd, Til ; on ehip-bourd during their passage across the Atlantic, 2,3ütj, and in the tents on the eat end of the Island where the healthy emigrants are usually landed, 7; making a total of 1.572 deaths in the space of seventy-iive days. We have n oÜicial account of the number of emigrants which arrived at the Island during that period, but judging from the arrivals of the previous two months, we are led to conclude that one-fifth of the whole have been swept o!F by disease.

with a few friends at seven o'clock, A. U. We had British pas-eports and a, strong guard, ostensibly for a British otlicer, to see us sale through the fortifica.ions which are gom up at hmm, a remarkable mountain pass sixteen or seventeen miles from the city of Mexico, on the road to Pucbla by way of St. .Mirtin. At I'mon the road winds around between two volcanic mountain?, each commanding a point or turn in tde rnd. Cetween tliese two hills is an ex tensive fortification nearly completed, at.d on which I found thiriu-fitt thousand mm at work. Of these, " two companies were European, deserters from the U. S. Army, and to their skill may be attributed tire superiority displayed in the works. The gurad now Jell us. Our party consisted f four, viz.: the British nthrPI. twri lm ljlmitii I nt trtm.1ft in nni fif flip mines, and myself. .At about 50 miles from the Capital we overlook twenty-nc sira;;Iing Mexican, and made their acquaintance. At first we were afraid of them, but finally aciepted their services. as guides. The british otlicer, Jiowever, was suspicious, lie had despatches of great importance. Every body seemed to know him, but he would give Iiis name to no one. He exhibited a üritish flag, fifteen inches by eiht or ten, which was at once respected by every guerilla party or public otlicer on the road! In two instances he received letters on the way to carry short distances. The two british miners having left, us, the JJritish olScer concluded to proceed alone, leaving me with lCenty-one Mexicans. It was getling late, and I put up at the next Rancho, about sixty miles from the Capital. July 31. At one o'clock this morning, being st 111 awake, I heard horsemen approaching, and I saw the guerillas with drawn swordi coming up to my door. 1 had twtvty-four shots in four of Turner's New York revolvers, which stuck in my belt. Drawing one, I opened the door and lired rive shots in rapid succession. Two of the riders fell, and were immediately borne ott by their comrades. I now called out to the landlord and demanded an explanation, prefacing my demand with a declaration that he deserved instant death for his treachery. He denied the imputation, and accused my own men. He said, in an under tone, that my guides were professional rubbers; that they were employed by their chivfs at the capital to follow us, and rot and kill ull, the üritish otlicer included. Them said I, we shall probably be attacked again, and to yuu 1 shall direct the tirst fatal shot. I then tied him to my door outside, and there he remained till morning. I started early, and took the arm- of the twenty-one Mexicans on my own horse, and tidd thciii to follow to St. Martiu's. When I not three miles east of Martin's I ordered a halt, called the ring leader up before me, reproved his treachery, and Iben shot him dead on the spot, in presence of his terrified companions. They commenced begging for their lives, which I situ red, and they senmpered off on their mules, and I put spurs lo my noble horse ntid soon reached I'uebla, where 1 delivered the muskets to the United States authori- . ... ties. 1 saw numerous guerilla bands on the tiiun tains, but met no opiositiin ou the rottd. I found General IScott at the head of 15",y.")0 men, lounging away his time in religious exercises. He is so excessively pious, and o intimate with the Bislmp, tlie iriesls ana uns, tint the populace call lain "tathei fc'cott." His oliicers and men. un the contrary, call him " Foolish Scott." Iiis u.t n are deserting to the enemy in consequence of his inaction. I think the great battle at I'.non will be fought before .September 1 left i'utbla in the afternoon, in com piny with two or three Mexican gentlemen. Thev took another road. Ten or twelve miles out I overtook five U. S. soldiers, returning home by way of Vera Cruz. We timed at a hacienda, whose proprietor treated us like princes. Hut we had not got half a mile from his house before my spy glass revealed an assemblage of Mexican cavalry and mfnilry, numbering seventy or eighty men, two miles ahead. We were chased within a league of Tcrote by fifly-Cve of them. Their horses were fresher tliarj ours, and it was only by throwing away all our extra baggage and scattering doubloons on the road that we got rid of the villuins. J threw atvav one hundred and fifty ounces, (doubloons,) one hundred of which 1 received from Santa Anna for bringing on a package of letters addressed to Mexicans at or near Vera Cruz. One of the villains who tired at my head Was the owner of the Hacienda at which we had dined, who had followed us, probably to see us caught in the trap he had prepared. 1 shall remember lutn on my return to Mexico. We passed Perole a little to the Itrt. 1 learned that Walker had 14K men in the Castle, and that General 1'ierce had just arrived from Vera Cruz wilh 3500 men. Jl-tli commands would proceed at once to reitif rce Scott, leaving probably four hundred men in the Castle. Thus Scott has now about twenty thousand men. We encountered no interruption until within two lcagups of Jalapa, where we encamped for the night. We could see guerilla parties on all the hills, and signal fires were kept up during the night. August 1. The appearance of the hills during the night was unfavorable. Hostile bands surrounded us on all hands, and four of my companions resolved to abandon their horses. They took to the chappvral, and I fear never will be heard of ai'ain. Their names were Serjeant Knapp, of N?w York, or Boston ; Corporal Hamilton, a relative of Hon. John C. Hamilton, of New York city; and private Thompson, from one of the Southern S.atcs i and Wilson, a Bugler of one of the Carolinas. Sergeant Melton, of Mississippi, proceeded with me on horseback. Tnis morning we employed a Mexican to show us the mam road, which we had abandoned, to avoid Jalapa. His pay was to be one dollar. He had hardly gone thirty yards before he pleaded hunger, and received our permission to get food at a neighboring ranch. We accompanied him. Soon his wife came iii and told us we were in great danger five robbers were coming. We mounted, and had proceeded oüly d short distance when he halted again at another ranch, for a drink. vMy suspicions were now aroused by seeing forty or fifty robbers coming afier us at full speed. I ordered him to proceed, anil ort gaining th road, accused him of delaying and betraying us. He freely confessed his crime, mid immediately fell on his knees. After giving 1. im time for a Fliort prayer, I put a revolver to his head, and he fell, a corpse! We galloned oiT, the robbers following in-hot pursuit. Only three of them could keep iu pijjht of ui. Melton remarked that we were too many for three, and, bo, slacking our speed till they came near enough, we wheeled and at the first fire shot two of them the third got off. We dismounted, and rifling the corpses of their money and clothing, put the latter upon our own persons, the belter to pass for real Mexicans. I found twenty doubloons, with some snull coin and silver buttons. We were now above suspicion, and encountered no obstacles until within seven miles of Santa Fe, near Vera Cruz. We now got a breathing spell, and stepped at a ranch occupied by milkmen and butchers. Three of the latter, one a Mexican nearo, and two Spaniards, were killing a white calf. While refreshing ourselves, one of the Spatiirh butchers went towards Vera Cruz, and returned with a party, who met us on the road. .We suspected trouble kt once. They asked if we were friends or enemies, where we were going, and our business. I told them we were on business for Santa Anna; and passed ahead. I had hardly pone twenty paces when they closed upon Sergeant Melton, who was a short distance behind me. L heard a fellow ask Uft leader of the gang what he should do, and he replied "kill them ioth !" At that instant I saw a sabre run through Melton, coming out some inches behind as he fell they LissneJ him, and drHjged him into the chapperal. Meantime I kept thoin at buy by discharging my revolvers, and galloped off, pointing them and firing over my houldcr,. I galloped up to the walls of Vera Cruz, turned injr horse loose one of tho best ever ecn in Mexico,' opee the, pmpeiiy of a Mexican robber, and well worth five hundred dollars ran to the ollice of Collector Dim.ind, said a few words to him, and jumped aboard the Great Western, as she p.vunjr oil for Havana.

Mr. B kan ro., having resided in this place during the last few years, had, by his uniforar.Iy amiable and upright deportment, won a very large share of public esteem land confidence. Of a quiet and somewhat retiring disposition, he sought not to be seen or applauded of men ; but as tlie light of a good man must shine so he could not be hid. His gentle demeanor, nis conversation seasoned with grace, hii conscientious regard to truth and justice in all his dealings, and the pure spirit of christian benevolence which imparted a finishing lustre to all his other virtues

, these were tlie qualities which made him while he l! IS.-." !IVa DriSl11 and a shining light, and now that he ! ls "'Ad' ,,iey are ,,i8 weeie.it memorial, his noblest monument.

Long will his solemn affectionate words of counsel and his tender solicitudes for rhe prosperity of Zion be rememlered by his brethren, and especially by those who were associated with him as office-bearers" iu the hoie of the Lord. It Will be consoling to his friends at a distance, as it is to those who were with him in his lust moments, to know that tlie religion which he had profi-ssed in life, was his prop and comfort in death. His confidence in the Great ltede mer was firm and tinwaveriti" to the last. He knew in whom he had believed. To one who approached him with the inquiry, "D yu feel quite sure of ynur interest in the Lord Jems Lirisi? his calm, unhesitating aaiswer was, have vol a doubt nf it." Such is the death of the christian. Composedly leaning upon the arm and promise of Him u ho is 'the resurrection and the life," he answers the summons of death without fear, and passes quietly away to his rest and his reward in glory. "So fadr a summer rloud awiy, Sii tjoks the galf when tiunui aie o'er; So gently huts the eje ut day, !o dies a wave a I. nig the (hure." Mr. Eraxpon has left a wife and a large circle of children to mourn his unexpected decease. But the prayers which he offered on their behalf while he was yet with theni, will now, doubtlens, come up for a memorial before his Father and their Father, his God and their God ; and they shall uot in their distress b forgotten by lain wliu has said, "Leave thy father Ust children, I will preserve them aliii; and Itt thy icidins trust in tiw" . tDied, of scarlet fever, on Thursday, Aug. 26h, Vax Buren Cain, aged about 5 years ; and, on Sunday, Aug.
