It hsd been rumored that General Taylor had expressed different sentiments as to the conduct of the Indians regiment St Ruena Visit, fom those con. mined in hie-V port to the'War Department. Such statement was certainly preitiiliciu in the old hero's consistency snd truth; But he never felt called upon to pro nounce the report untrue, un il he wss directly addressed, and the matter brought to his notice by s letter fiom the Indiana Legislature. Then he at once declared that his reports ,nf. their . conduct .'in ..the battle was founded upon his own'observa. lion and that no subsequent developments had induced him to alter hie opinion.. ;. For one, wesre inclined to place a gen erous confidence in the man who by all his acts, public snd private, hss prove I himself a gentleman the soul of truth and honor shove fear and above 'reproach.' i nere can he no confidence or man in man, which has not thesejqualities for its founds tion. 11 not those Whig who sincerely deire the election of General Taylor act the part of the jealous lover, who is not satisfied unless the object of hi 8 fleet ion proclaims ondyirg love a thousand times a day. who goes into strong convulsions whenever his fsir one returns cntirteonslv tnrearDtifibW transaction nf life, one word from a frank ttiil Itoi tst nature ia worth a .volume nf orilinsiry and sterotyped professions. ; Jiich.

The Washington Union and its affilia ted prims fsaya tbe Savannah Republican.! display a wonderful anxiety about Genera) Taylor's opinions, end eagerly put forth statements derived from the loosest gossips, hearsay; and scisps of conversation held nh private mdivttluals. Ihe object of this is perfectly plsin; entertaining s fever ish fear or his popularity, the Organs of the Administration desire to weaken his iiiHnencs with the Whi party by adroitly insinuating suspicions of his ortl.odozy, sn attempt to which some Wh'g prints have been kind enongh 10 lend themselves. It hardly stands to reason, that a man of Gen-' Taylor's acknowledged sagacity would be so silly ss to fill into a irep like this, and blab oat to Tom, Dick, and Hary. bis views on subjects, which lor good reason ho has thought proper to 'withhold ' for the present: yet if tbe metier is sifted out, it will be found that the sources from Whence information haa been ' deiived are of this ehsracterV' ; .
