General Taylor A true pic
lure. The Charleston Mercury draws a life-like
picture of (Jen. Taylor, in the following
paragraph. It seems to us that no man;
who ever made any pretension to greatness,
has so soon completely jititteit out as !cn.
Taylor. He is most evidently . " the last of
the earlier Presidents."
" For passing popularity Gen. Taylor had
been fortunate in being the first in order of
time to win a fresh and brilliant military
fame. For enduring reputation, he was tin
fortunate," in that his victories were indeci
sive in character, meagre in results, and
humble in the display of military skill, com
pared with those which followed under
others
leaders. The tide of his military
Uu into the presidency :and ttat irreatcr
f0 cf famc Crowne.l with the honors of
otlrs and more illustrious chieftains, came
to swallow irp its predecessors, just at the
moment that the people of t lie United States
bad nbm5ttl to th conviction that, exert
ing his claims and merits as'a soldier, Gen.
Taylor had not a solitary title to distinction,
nor
the
a solitary quality redeeming him troni
common herd of men. Uy common
. a 1 t
consent, he seems to hive dropped out of
remembrance his enemies not caring to
treat him as game worth the expenditure of
powder and shot, and his friends wisely
judging, that the respectability of their chief
, could only bo secured, nke that of the urand
; Lama, by keeping him in darkness and sur-
rounding him with nlcncc. Save by here
j and there an individual, with whom syco
phancy, was a bund passion, and babbling an
nnomimtUbkdMMM, (n: TayUMtlw
ly been mentioned by his friend slne his
induction into omcc. The presidency itself
his secnied as much a blank, as the political
opinion of the incumbent. It has been a--scrted
indeed that he has been allowed to
vote in the caabinct; but as no effects could
ever be traced to such an infiaence, the state I
tucnt is iu great need of confirmation.'

Some of the sextons, over' a iked, bury
the dead at half the usual depth. The City
Government have abdicated their powers be
fore. an indignant populace, and the' duties
of the Board of Health are devolved upon
a Committee of citizens. The public shool
houses arc turned into hospitals, and the
chief business of the living is to take c:ire of
the .sick and dying anil to bury -the dead.

arc paralysed and officers' do not discharge

lack of energy arc manifested by every one. j
The atmosphere is hot and humid. Flies j
swarm in myriads. Vegetation grows with j
the rankest luxuriance, and animal life siiiks i

somewhat abated in St. Louis, the deaths
being only aboiltfifty per day. In Cincinnati
the epidemic has also been very fatal, sweep

girl a short time since, who brought a still

herself off for a lvyJicad of brandy!
The Woonsocket (It. I.) Patriot, tells the
following story :
" A man was arrested in this, village for a
violent assault upon another, and while un
dergoing examination before Justice Arnold,
a young woman made her appearance in Court
with a small child in her arms, who repre
sented herself to be the wife of the prisoner.
She cried pitifully, and her. sad appearance,
with the babe St her breast, much affected
the by standers. Now for the denouement.
It has since been ascertained that this wo
man was not the culprit's wife, nor the child
his. She is another man's wife, and to ef
fect the heart of the magistrate to leniency,
she volunteered in the character we have
described ; and to heighten the " effect" she
actually borrowed another woman's baby.

The Committee retired, and during the
interval of their absence, the members of the
meeting engaged in conversation. When
the Committee returned they reported the
performance of the duty assigned them; and
handed their report -the Secretaries to bo
read. This being done, several amendments
were offered and adopted, when the Hon. N. .

Hejsflccd, As the deliberate opiuion
of this assemblage that not a solitary man
who voted in the Plank lload meeting at
Fayetteville for the location of said road
either by Franklinsville or Ashboro', have
the slightest idea of ever constructing said
road from cither of those places to Salisbury
but that in our judgment all who gave those
votes expected and intended that A.shbor
ough or Franklinsville, whichever was agreed
upon, should be the North Western termina

In support of this resolution he made a
few remarks, which were characterised bv

the hearty approbation of the meeting

Resolved, That in the opiuion of tins
meeting, the route from Fayetteville, via
Asheboro', Johnsonville, Fair Grove, and
Lexington, to Salisbury, adopted by the
Stoskholders of the Plank lload Company,
is not, the "most practicable" one, within
the meaning of the charter of said road.
I?e&jved, That we regard the route pro
posed as one never contemplated by the
makers of the law, -as it certainly Was. never
the intention of the Legislature to construct
a rival Public work running parallel withiii
a few miles of each other, for a considerabh
distance, as will be, in case both the Plan!
Road aud Rail Road should be constructed
' Resolved, That the adoption of the routi
by Asheboro', Fair Grove and L?xjugton
will be decidedly injurious to the interest
of th-State as a Stock holder, as the distan
is greater, the surface of the country moil
unfavorable than any route yet proposed, 1
can no doubt be demonstrated by fair ail i
occurate surveys.
RexAval, That it was clearly the intcntin
of the Legislature iu chartering the Plan
lload to give to the people of the State We.
of the Yadkin a cheap aud" easy communic;
tion with Fayetteville, which will be wholl
defeated if the circuitous route by Lexingto
is adopted.
Resolved, As the deliberate opinion (
this assemblage that not a solitary man wh
voted in the Plank lload meeting at Fayetti
ville for the location of sai.djflad either, t
woTrrrstl H6" or Asheboro , have tt
slightest idea of ever constructing said ror
from either of those places to Salisbury; bi
that iu our judgment all who gave thu
votes expected and intended that Ashbor
ouh or Franklinsville, whichever was axret
Upon,
should be the North Western tenuin
tio" of f"d, uk lloiuL ' .
Resolved, ;That we will not submit
sush a gross preversion of the purposes
the Legislature in granting the Plank lto:
charter, and are determined to resist the 1
cation of the route by Asheboro', Johnso:
ville Fair grove and Lexington by every leg
means; regarding it as we uo, as a nagrai
violation of the charter.
Rcsolecil, That a committee be appointc
to institute legal proceedings to prevent tl
construction of said road along the route d
signaled, and that, we will indemnify the
against any pecuniary loss. f
