Union9 ia vainly endeavoring to prove by figures;fromhe War Office, that all the state ments from the Army of the amount of the forces under Generals Scott and Tayir, respectively, are erroneous. After bravely ciphering up the items of a long calculation, it avers that Scott's force can not be, less than 20,Q00,' and that Taylor's is.at pre sent 6,981, and will soon amount to 10,000. The " Matamoraa Flag" says thai Gen, Taylor could not how inarchlfrom Saltillo withtmore than 2,000 men. An intelligent officer writing from Jalapa, states that "the army with which Scott will enter the city of Mexico, will not probably exceed 4,000 men," 2,000 of bis force being necessary to garrison Pluebia. These are the statistics given by men ok titfitfot not calculations worked out in Washington. In corroboration of the above, read the following: r- SpccittJ Cbmspmt9fte Pieayttnk i . ,4 Monteret, Mexico, May 30, 1847. .When I wrote you histwe" were' all full of the ex pedition to San Luis, and active preparations were making for a march at an early period; but now ev ery thing is knocked in the head. Gen. Scott has thrown a bomb-shell into this Division of the forces, which will utterly preclude the possibility of Gen. Taylor's advancing for many "weeks, and probably will put an end to the expedition. Seven of the ten Regiments have received orders to repair to Vera Crux and join Gen. Scott, which completely strips Gen. Taylor of the troops now at the Brazos who were to form jpart of his force, and leaves him utter ly powerless. It seems hard indeed that 4ie should thus be stripped, for the second time, and when eve ry thing was in readiness to advance. It would be utterly useless to attempt an advance into the interior with less than six thousand men, and it would require at least tiro thousand to keep open the line of communication from Saltillo to the Brazos. , If this last order is -complied with, as it must be of course, Gen. Taylors whole force will consist of the Virginia, Massachusetts,-North Car olina and Mississippi regiments, six companies of regular artillery, one regiment of dragoons, one reg iment of Texan horse, aud say, one battalion of vol unteer cavalry, composed of re-enlisted volunteers. These will scarcely number 5000 all told, and to leave garrison forces will reduce the column to 3000. With this force it would be quixotic to attempt to move, and you are well aware that it is a matter of great uncertainty when ,a sufficient number of troops can arrive at tho Brazos. Thus Gen. Taylor is prevented from bringing an arduous, hard-fought campaign to a brilliant termination. Well! u,tis an ill wind that blows nobody good," says the old adage and this second attempt to paralyze the move ments of the old eeneral will but endear him more to the people, and, the missiles of destruction hur ried at lum will but recoil on their own heads. MoNTEaxr. June 1st. . The abandonment of the San Luis expedition, on account of the withdrawal of the troops, is still the topic. of conversation, and a cause of universal regret. I believe Gen. Taylor freely admits the necessity of Gen. Scott's having more troops and speedily, and can only regret that a sufficient number of troops have not been fbrwarded. - Now. from the -rerr earn- mencemenimDmne' camrai-n: "tlifl" tjraotnr-nave n I scm,out in uriuieis, ana operauons oi a vigorous chapter prevented from this cause.

Mr. Gales: 1 have recently heard it boldly and openly asserted here, by not a few of Mr. Polk's partisan friends and leaders, that our gallant Tay lor is now, and has long been, a Democrat good and true'; and that they intend to nominate him as their next candidate for the Presidency. As a Whig friend of .General Taylor's I wish to ask the Editor of the "Standard" a few plain questions, in regard to this matter possibly he may demonstrate how it is that a man's best friends and admirers should at times assume the attitude and adopt the feelings of enemies and traducers. 1 Lope he will en lighten us. First, then, will the "Standard" explain why it was that Mr. Polk's last message to Congress, sanct tioncd by his Cabiuet and adopted by hb party, omitted in toto, even to vtentiou the name of General Taylor, who was the Commander-in-chief of our Army in Mexico, and who had suddenly filled the hearts of his countrymen with gratitude and affec tion for his then recent brilliant victories at Palo Altoi Resaca de la Palma and Monterey : and why it was that the same Message omitted not to make flattering mention of one Cupt. Fremont, the pet son-in-law of his friend and ad riser, Mr. Benton. Do you honestly think, had Cieneral Taylor been a Democrat, or could hare been made a political tool of the Administration, such a slight, yea, open in- suit, would nave been onereu him I.

' " THE ALABAMA TRAGEDY. A letter from Gainesville, Alabama, to the Editor of the Mantmmerv Jonrn&L contains & brief account I ofthe trill of Colonel John Anthony Winston, for . . 4 - - killing, a few days since, Dr. S: S, Perry, of that place. The killing was admitted, and a plea of jus tification put in. The evidence for the defence, it said, " revealed a case, that, for blackness and guilty deep aud damning in all its features, has no parallel in the catalogue of crime in any civilized country." The plot between Dr. Perry and the wife of CoL Winston, embraced the destruction not onljCof the Colonel, but ofthe wife ofthe Doctor ! Perry, it seems, was to draw Winston into a fight and get the first, shot, for which purpose he carried a six barrelled revolver ; and Mrs. W. had told her confidant, who had asked what was to be done with Mrs. Perry, " O, we can get rid of her easy enough." CoL Winston was promptly acquitted. t Mrs. Winston, whose maiden name was Mary W. Logwood, has been sent by her husband to the residence of her friends at Somerville, Tenn. The Colonel intends to make provision for her future support, and to apply for a divorce. When he shot Perry, he sent a message to his wife that he had killed him and her reply was that "he would re pent itl" CoL W. has not seen her since, nor will he ever see her again. ALABAMA. y?.

We regret extremely to say that Pay master Bosworth, who sailed from here only on the 18 th ult; sickened and died in Vera Crui ofthe to ttiito. His remains were brought back on the Mas sachusetts, in charge of his brother. Quite the most important intelligence brought by this arrival relates to an aack upon a large train by the Mexican guerrillas, which has been partially successful. By the Fanny we learned that a train was tdleate Vera-Cruz on the morninz of the 5th instant for Puebla, under command of Lieut. CoL Mclutosh. The train had m charge $225,000 in sptcie. of which sum one hundred thousand belong ed to tho Paymaster's Depuirtme'the remainder to the Quartermaster's. One hundred and twenty five wagons and six hundred pack mules were in the train, wiieh was escorted by S00 troops. The tnaia left Vera Cruz on the night of the 4th inst, aud on Sunday the Cth, when it had advanced about twenty-five miles, it was attacked by a large party of guerrillas. The place was well selected for the purpose of the Mexicans, being represented as adC4lS&road enouglkfor a single wagon only It is said, too, that slight works had been thrown up by the Mexicans to obstruct our advance. The at tack was made on each extremity ofthe train, and on the centre at the same time, the principal point how ever being the wagons which was suppose! to con tain the specie. Private accounts represent that the attack was so far successful that forty of our wagons were destroy ed though not those containing the specie two hundred mules loaded with subsistence were taken, and thirty of our men killed. The American Eagle of the Oth says our loss is variously estimated at from'fouri to twenty, but private accounts, from res ponsible purees, give the loss as we have done, at thirty mep. The check was so severe that Colonel Mclntoshf determined not to hazard an ad vance with out reinforcements. Our troops accordingly en trenched hemselves behind their wagons, and res- patcnes wneresent off to Uen. Uaawallader at Vera Cruz. Tjhe General left on Monday evening, the 7th inst, with a force of 500 men and four howitzers.

This is all history. Again: What did Mr. Wick, of Indiana, mean, when advocating Mr. Polk's proposition to create a Lieutenant General or Field Marshal, he said on the 26th of. January " It-was necessary to conduct a war, the base of whose operations was the Rio uranue; at the distance of 2,500 miles. The genius to imagine, to combine, to devise, to control, should be there. ' It was impossible that the Executive could do i here; therefore it was necessary and proper that he should have a representative. Who com manded our Anny in Mexico? Jfifr theit members of tlte party which teas responsible for tlie success of the war, and for the rear ttsetfj They were not. Did the opposite party feel itself responsible for the results of the War in Mexico? Not at all : it was not their war ; they wero not identified with it as a party, but oppo:ed it. Now, what was there to exempt a Whig General (Taylor) from Vie feelings of the Whig party ? Therefore, he said, a Whig should not command the Army. !Let gentlemen make evil or it. if they could." 1 call on the Editor of the "Standard77 to solve the mystery, that if Gen. Taylor was a Democrat six months ago, why was it that in the face of a na ti&n s admiration, the leaders of his political party pursue him thus hotl v, calling him a 41 Whig lrte- ral,"- and doing their utmost to supplant and pros trate him, and inform us what he has done or said since, to entitle him to their peculiar Democratic af fection, save that of adding fresh laurels to his own victorious wreath, and additional glory and renown to the American arms. I pause for a reply, having a "few more" questions of the ttsame sort" to ask, at no aisiaui uay. In conclusion, I must be allowed to say, that as a Whig, lam opposed to this Convention, without aisiinaion oj party," called to meet on the 3d of J u- ly nextvto nominate Gen. Taylor for the Presidency. I f-the Democrats as a party, or any portion of them, have seen the error of their ways, the folly and im becility of Jheir vleaders in conducting national affairs, and if they have repented of their ingrati tude and injustice to Gen. Taylor, we certainly can nave no oojeciion 10 ineir co-operating with us in elevating him to the Presidential Chair; but let us make no compromises, have no partnerships in the matter for Taylor ia a Whig, must be nominated as a Whig, and will be triumphantly elected as a Whig. .
