Tavlor's personal appear- ance and habits, has become a subject of universal j fame. It is curious that a soldier, so eminent in j all the qua lilies of discipline, should bo so eitiien- j iookina in his own aD&earance.

The moment Gen.

With quiet step, and ; .-unattended, Commodore Conner presented him self at General Taylor's tent. The noble repre sentatives of ouf army and navy shook hands, both in exceeding astonishment at each others personal appearance. . General Tattor taking leave of the vet F.BAtts. The hour had arrived when nearly all those troops whom he had led through so many dangers and privations, whose veteran brows were surrounded with laurel eaihe el at Re.-aca de la Pa! ma, Matamoras, and Monterey, were to be detached irom the atmy under Gen. Taylor, for the purpose of co-operating. with a iasd and 6ca force shortly la attack the City of Vera Cruz and the castle of San Juan, de Uiloa. The parting must have been affecting; and the address of the old Dero proves that be felt tl ts be : "It is with deep sensibility that the commm di2 general nds himself seperated from the troops he sVkmgycemraanded. To those corps, recular and ToTunteer, who have shared with him the active services of the field, he feels the attachment due to such associations, while to those who are 'making their firs! campaign, raust express his regret that he cannot p.irtioi pale with them in its eventful scenes.

Yankee Doodle ix the Citt of Mexico. The splendid theatre of the city of Mexico attracted the universal admiration of our soldiers of evefy grade, and soon became the favorite re. sort of all On the 'first night of opeuing the theatre after the capture of the city, between the pieces, Jhe orchestra, which was really a very " firm one, gave two or three beuutiiuljrs, and con cluded with a Mexican national air. As soon as tbey finished, the audience, being mosily Ameri cans, called for Yankee Doodle; but the orches tra pid no attention. They stamped and rapped as if they would bring the house down over ther heads, but still the orchestra heeded not. At length the bell rang, and up went the curtain. The audience. seemed for an instant as if they were willing to give it up ; but at thia moment a tall, slab-sided looking genius who bore the appearance of being a real, thorough-bred patriot volunteer of the nrst water, raised himself about half straight,' and said I oftnn heard that.

Now this "Was a' breach of orders which General Taylor could not nverlook.-so he had the marau der identified; by the Mexican, and brought before him. The general examined and cross-examined hinvTOeIaiiMto-tbe ffJoce, for upwards of two hoars at the encT of which lime he arrived it the conclusionthe volunteer was not quhe so much to blame as his accuser represented, but thought-' bkn deserving of some punishment ; and what was the punishment do you suppose he inflicted tipon him j Why, he directed a b.arrel.to be pla ced in front of his tent, directed the volunteer to rtniunt it, and kept him standing, the re for two hours.

As booi as his. absence was mada known in the camp, he wis proclaimed a deserter, arid men sent in pursuit of him. He re turned, however, before he wa3 arrested, and im mediately , made his way to the old general, and told him, in mitigation of punishment, he was always accustomed to open backwood life, and it j went hard with me to be confined so much ' 4 Wei!,' said the general, 'don't do so again, my boy, without leave, and directed him to go to his quarters. That m; i thinks Gen. Taylor the best man livinjr, and he would willingly lose life itself at h.s bidding. A. FRIEND'S REASONS. J think, said a friend the other day, that if it is our inevitable destiny" to have a Locofoco Pres ident, it would be best for the country that l'oik should be continued in office. The reason for this opinion he illustrated by the h lowing anec dote. An old fady who was ter.ant to a very overbearing landlord, discovering him on a cer- tain occasion anDroaching the house, pot upon her knees and prayed so as to be heard by him, that his " span of hie" u.iirht be oroiracied even far bevond that cf her own. The landlord having heard the prayer, was induced to auk the old lady why she had prayed 60 for him, as he was not a. ware of ever having conferrco" any benefaction upon her,' calculated to interest her in bis behalf? True said the old lady, you never conferred a favor upon me in your life, but I am now old and have been a teoanuof your, grandfather, whom 1 found to be fluite a hard landlord ; after his death 1 was a tenant to your father, and he was a hard, er landlord than' your grandfather, and when your father died I became-your tenant, and found to my sorrow that you were worsithan both put together. I prayed lherefore,Ijt your life might be spared. " lest a still greater evil cuius upon me" in the person of your son. So said the Friend, Jackson was f hard President, Van 8u. ren a harder, and o1k woree than both put to gether, and that 'sooner than change him for an other Locpffctco, he thought that in order lo avoid ."a still greater evil." itwaa better for the coun try, that James should be kept in office. ' The same friend remarked, that, as between Cass, a maker of irar and Taylor a maker of peace, it was his '-manifest destiny" to vote for Zachary, be lieving that !rs election would secure the Iran- quility aud prosperity of the country. r T11K HIGH TS OF WO MAX BY MS.

They met a tew days sinee in Dandridge, Jefferson couuty, wheu the fol lowing scene: s described by the correspondent of the Knxvil!e if-wir, came off: " One of tLe most amusing incidents of the discus-, sion took place during Gov.

' The National Intellurencer of Saturday says The Democrats of Vermont recently nomina ted Charles K. Field for Lieutenant Governor. But he "spurns the bribe," after this fashion u I have ibis morning addressed a letter to the State Committee, declining the nomination of Lieut. Governor and directing them to strike my name from the ticket. 1 believe such a course due to the Democracy. My views were not known lo the convention at the lime of the nom inaiion, audit is possible tne nomination, was adopted frusiijhe belief that, in common with ma 11 y others that 1 was an ardeot supporter of Gen Cass. In no event whatever can' I be induced to vote for him he is cowardly an unprincipled political, hack and a marvellous worthy nomi nee of the worthless tricklers who assembled at Baltimore. It is rather painful parting with old friends, some of whom I have acted with for mure than twenty years '; but 1 cannot consent to violate one of the earliest political maxims that was taught me, which was lo be always consistent. Again : I am t una e need by a cardinal maxim of the De mocracy of this country, 'Every thing for princi pies, nothing lor men. ANOTHER SIGN. Gen. Quitman, ihe gallant and distinguished Captain is also in favor of Old Zach. Gen, Quitman received nearly as many votes at the Baltimore convention, for Vice President, as Gen Butler. Verily, Gen. Foole is a prophet. Cass will not receive a vote South of ihe Potomac" and althe North, the cry is, " why will he persist in distracting ihe party 1' YET ANOTHER. Commodore Stewart uf Pennsylvania is of the same way of thinking. Ihe Baltimore Amen can says : " The Philadelphia News declares that the gallant veteran Com. Stewart, is in favor of Geo. Taylor for the Presidency- There is peculiar significance in this, when it is remembered, that Com. Stewart was a prominent candidate for the Presidency before the Democratic National Con vention which nominated Mr. Polk." YET ANOTHER. ueorge Kremer, of Uuion County, Pa com' monly called "IIune6t George, an out and out Locofoco, has declared for old Rough aud Ready.

We confess that we have shuddered every time the "Standard" has been handed to us since, in awful dread that this first correspondence might meet our eye. We at last began to feel easi er, when weeks had elapsed and no notice was taken of that disastrous afifair. A kindly spirit had evi dently come orer that print.

The undersigned, a Corresponding Committee of said Club, are instructed to reply to year-communication that arrangements have already been made, giving a different character, to .the meeting., That it was originally "intended, to be a festive oc casion for f A friends of J'aylor and Fillmore, to which however, all others who may choose to come, are in vited ; and this original design has been already rn a great measure carried out, That the use of the grove was-asked and obtained from its proprietor, for the purpose, expressed, of holding therein, a Taylor Futical, aud meetings of the Rough and Readylub. That several distinguished gentlemehfrom abroad, as well as from among our own citixens, have been invited to be present, and to address the meeting, as a meeting of the friends f Geu.
