Taylor, which will be found iu this mis r, has produced a great sensation over the country, aud especially in Washington.' It was evidently written without any view lo poblicHlioti. Rut the Editor of the Express says, that on a visit lo Wash ington, he "usci-rlaiucd beyond ull question, that the Administration whs iulriguring for the over throw of Geu. Taylor, and that iu nearly all thrir slitical circles, he was aspersed in some form or other." Indignant at this attempt to disgrace the gallant old soldier, merch Ucaue he is a W h.g, llsr Editor pns-imd the letter from Geu. Gaiues, and published it. It may hitmen the recall Gen. Taylor, for il is not d-s.ila.cil thai the Admiuistrit'iou has long wanted a pretext to recall or supersede tiini. lint il riBet the inefficiency al Washington, wliich has il.nblcd Taylor from doing more thnii he hss done, and which several limes placed him aud his litlle a I un iu sikIi jcoanU as nothing but the greatest rkill aud noblest daring on his and their psrt could hare rescued them from. It is well re marked, th:it "the Administration may remove Gen. T.isliT from his picseul mmI, und he litem fnim tketrt." The country will never see its gal lant aud glorious defender disgraced hy party, for party purjMk-ea. The Union publishes the letter with a very few remarks, of which the lolluwiug is liie material part: "Il is only in view of the public lasechief re sulting, we regret that this letter has ever Isreu written or pol)!ilied We have no fears bill lliat the administration. wIhsm course towards General Taylor is known to the world, triU he aide lu tltow I km I their in un jml JiniiiilaliuH fur the rom plaints mndr tlie in :m lint publication."

The Prcsideut's eye, the eye i of the whole Locofoco party, "involuntarily rests npou" all that il would like to own, und forthwith steps are taken to wrest the coveted possessions from their rightful owners. As fur the prosecution of the war, we agree with Ihe Union. Seeing no hos whatever of gelling out of the war, except by fighting our way out of il, we desire to see Congress proiiiUiy grant all that may be necessary, of men and money, to bring it lo a close. And we could wish that the W bigs iu Congress would forbear from olleiiug any plans to bring about a peace, plnu w!i' h cannot succeed, both Ix-cause of l,neofico oMjsitioii at home, und Mexican ols4iuacy abroad.

Secondly, we quote it for tlie purpose of calling the attention to be exact parallel it presents lo tl-.e Rail Road IiCgislation of C or 10 years ago, which involved the Stale iu its present debts. The Legislature of 1840 contained a small Whig m ijorily, just as the late Legislature did. Most of the Whig, with a resectable number of the f r. t . J r- i.

Without those Ixcofoco Votes the Rail KoaJ bills could not have been passed. Ex- aelly the Cusc with the bill to enclose ihe CupilU Sipmre. But precisely alike-aa tlu-se two cacs are, there is, iu the eyes uf tlie Locofocos, and especially of the Standard, a most ren.arkalHo difTerence. They iuvariubly contend, thai Ihe lugs alone are responsible for the Rail Road bills, whilst the Locos are entitled to a full share uf the credit of passing Ihe Capitol bill!

CONURKSS Iu SENATE, on Monday tl.e 25th, Mr. Benton ' delivered the speech of which a nopsis is given in ! another part of Ibis paper. The Treasury Note and Loan Bill was then i taken up, and its immediate consideration pressed, ' (though it hud only beeu laid on the tables of mem- 1 ls-re half an iKtur before',) on the ground of the i urgent iat ccssi lies of tlie Trrasxiry. Messrs. Niles, Calhoun, td Evans, nsjsjHed such precipitate at tiou, but il was lakeu up by the casting vote of the Vk e Presiden. 'Ilie Vote was 21 to 24. Messrs. Butler, Calhoun, and Niles voting with the Whigs. Mr. Lewis offered au amendment, which was debated, and then withdrawn. Mr. Ni'es prosjsed j another amendment, which produced a debate I lasting till the Senate adjourned five locofocos lo three W bigs participating in the debate. I (.! -Tuesday. Mr. Westcott moved an amend- tneiit lu Mr. N lies' ameudmeul, aud the debate was resumed. Mr. Cuss made a long speech in reply to some remarks made yesterday by Mr. Evans. Mr. CasB maintained thai the bill was a measure of the Ad ministration it belonged to tlie Administration it was necessary that il should be passed ut ouc 1 tie Administration was responsible for il, and why not pass the measure al once: Mr. Speight was urgent for its speedy passage. The uiouey, and mure ihsn the bill asked for too, (28,000,000,) wus wanted, and wanted now. Mr. Bagby made a speech ami reflected upon the Whig side of the chamber for offering amend ments and slaving off final action upon the bill. He did not like any I wo-sidedtoiirse: if he believed tlie w.r ullJUBl w ould not vote a mau or a dollar carry la am tAnk vi n . m I u T . fr nui imputations, and showed clearly that .'"" .""" ,-"; the delay was caused by the action of Senators ou the Administration side of the Chamber. Mr. Bagby disclaimed casting censure; he had great respect for Mr. Clayton and olher gray head- ' ed Senator, on the other side of the Chamber. , ,, . . .. Mr. Majigum followed in some very patriots? m to Mr Bagby'. declaration that he would not supMMl Uie war at all, if he believed it unjust. Mr. Maugum said the war existed be tween our own country and a foreign nation. It had gone so far uow tlsxl there was no alternative - i chamber were all readv lo vote on tne bill at once, ll wa. the oilier awe mat nun causcu ura delay ou this as well as ou the bill to increase Uie armv! m .. .. " , ., . 1 I J .1.. Mr. Evan, next took the floor and reviewed the course of the Administration Senator., particularly that of Mr. Speight aud Mr. Cass, with great aridi ty Sod sarcasm. After son: further remarks from two or three Senators, the Senate commenced voting on the amendments. Mr. Nilea said he ws mortified and hnoibleU by the financial measures of his own party. lie might feel bo if any party was in power, but as a Senator and a citizen he felt bumbled by tlie measures of the Secretary of the Treasury. A miserable, shiftiug, shuffling aeries of measures were submit ted by the Administration, and the only difference between ii and Mexico was that she was eudearor- l ing to force a Loau, and we were endeavoring to coax one from the People. Mr. Niles in all tins referred to the Tariff of 1 K46, a measure lo reduce the revenue over a measure to sustain the revenue as did the tariff of 1842. This good act bad been overthrown iu lime of war, and the act was one of pure inadueaa in his friends. The present art would uot yield half revenue enough. Tlie idea of in creaxi ig revenue by reducing duties was absurd, though there might be a duty loo hirh. Mr. Niles quite startled the Senutc by the bold manoer iu which he rebuked and denounced the financial (sjlicy of Mr. Walktr. On Wednesday, Mr. Cilly Rpoke ou himotion lo withdraw the army from Mexico. His object, he said, was to withdraw it fur the purpose of re iuviguraliiig it, that Llie war might be prosecuted with still more efficiency. Tho resolution . was then laid ou Ihe table, 41 to 0. The lan Bill was passed, 43 to 2, (Messrs. Cilly and Corwin.) Tlie bill to increase the army was then resum ed, aud debaltd during the day. Ou Thursday, Mr. Niles offered a resolution lc- daring, thai the revenue should be increased 5 to ' 10 millions bv aJditioual duties ou imports, aud j moderate duties on the free articles, i The armv bill was further debated, and amend- ! ed iu several particulars. j ...... ., . , . j i . j . i Ou I-ndav, the Army bi was debated.

That nothing in this act shall be un derstood In cautaiu nil express on by Congress of its np'iiiou as to the miestkiu of boundary between the territory of the United Slates and Mexico. Mr. Vinton said that the establiliment of a cus . lorn-house at Krazo. Sautiaifo, and a po.-l route west o'the Neuces, both iu the disputed territory, . had been taken by the President as ground upon which lo found an excuse for bringing nil the pre I sent war witli Mexico, und he desired that a pro , vision might be engrafted iin this bill guarding iilfaiust any further claim of title iu said territory by inference. The amendment wns debated ut cousidernUe length, and rejected. 93 to li7. Mr. W G. Brown submitted tlie following rcso- bilious; which weio laid on the table, und ordeied ' to be printed. Itenlretl, That tl is expedient to prosecute the existing wur wilh Mexico wilh all possible vigor, until that re pub ic consents lo give or receive pro posals for mi honorable aud periutiueiil euce be tween the two countries. Rrsuhed, That this House will promptly vote means and money to prosecute Ihe war in the manner and for the purposes indicated iu ihe fore going resolution. Rrmlrrd, 'Jliat it is inexpedient tn connect with Ihe subject of the war any subject of internal sjlicy calculated to embarrass the vigorous prose cution thereof. On Monday, considerable debate of an angry nature, occurred nu a question raised by Mr. Ralli hiin of N. Y. (Irfco.) iu regard to the neglect, and as he had heard lefuial, of the Secretary of the ! Treasury to answer a call made on Air. R's mo i tion, as lo the number of "secret agents" employ j ed hy the Treasury, llieir duties, pay, and the authority by which they were employed. One of ; those "secret agents, is Ihe man implicated in en deavoring tn bnbe a niemlsr of Ihe legislature nf Iowa to vote for a focfoco Senator to Congress. The subject was finally luid ou the table by a , party fote. ; Mr. Schenk offered a series of resolutions, propo- I sing that the anny Is- withdrawn to the east side , - . , . .

Resolution object ed to The hill In increase the pay of the anny was debated al length. Oil Tuesd iy, the same bill was fcill.er debated . and amended. On Wednesday, the bill was pnssrd. 171 to K. The Senate's amendments to the Loan bill were ! concurred in, and it is a law. ! A scene of utter confusion next occurred on a;i attempt by Mr. Schenk to introduce his resolutions relation to the war, mentioned above. The Navy impropriation bill was then taken up, i ami some debate arose ou a motion to allow C cents ' a day lo Ihe sailors instead of "grog." ' On Thursday, nearly the whole silting, until 10 ; o'clock al night, was wasted iu a scene of uproar I und disorder, produced by an attempt of a few of i the Ijocofisin members (Sawyer, Kennedy. &..) , to stop debate ou the Navy apH-oprialiou bill at 1 o'clock to-day, instead of one oVbwk to-morrow, 1 as had been fixed by a resolution p.ised this morn l ing. Iu the course of the iqa-oar, Mr. Holmes of j S. C. said "he wished to spH-l In the hk1 sense ; of the House," when he was put down by latigh- ler and cries of "there aint no good sense in it." i Mr. Henley (IjOCo) said, "It was a shame aud d'm j grace lo the prevailing party in that House, to : waste or allow the waste of time iu that way, and i he asked the Reporters to put it down, that he was i ashamed of it."' Mr. McKay said that he thought it would be beet to put au end to tlus matter, und therefore, without saying anything as lo which 1 party was in the wrong, he would proose lo the i other side of the House that they agree to Ihe re - consideration, and adjourn, with an understanding . thai they should take the bill out uf committee ut ! 1 o'clock to-morrow. He thought it would Iss ! very proper to postpone to some other lime the trial of the iwers of physical endurance of Hie two sides of Ihe House. Cries of "No." "no," from the whig side of the House. We quote tltcse, from the "Union," because thst puper, edi torially, affects to throw the blame of the disorder ou the Whigs.) Ou Friday, the Naval Bill was amended and passed. Mr. Cocke offered a resolution of thanks and a gold medal to Geu. Taylor, and thanks lo his offi cer and men. Objection teas made to the recep tion of the resolution.' On Saturday, the rules were suspended to re- ceive the resolution -of Mr. Cocke, by a vote of 136 to 28. Twenty-eight Locofocos, with Chas. J.

The Salisbury Watchman of Friday confirms the report that the Rowan Volunteers have dis banded. It gives as the reason, that the men be came impatient of the three weeks' delay, bad ac commodations, and want of necessary Camp E quipage, at Charlotte, and iliopt off, one by one, until the whole company, except 8 orl), was broken up. Some were arrested by the otflceis aud brought hack, but they would nut stay. The Watchman adds: "The greatest blame, however, is laid to tl.e charge of Capt Loujr, by (every man with whom we have conversed,) who we understand hus ten dered the- resignation of his office to the Governor. They complain against him on several accounts, whether justly or uot remains for him to disprove." "But there is a hope now dawning thai thia re proach will be removed from the fair character of Old Rowan. John W. Ellis, Est., has put his band to the work of collecting the men, aud obtain ing others if necesiary, to fonn a compauy, and potvessing as he docs the confidence of his fellow citizens here, we cannot dnubt his success, il is due Isetit. W. P. Richards, also, to state that he has returned fr an Charlotte, and is now actively engaged iu trying to bring tlie men into ranks." A public meeting was lo Is? held at Salasbury to aid Maj.
