deeply mortified to hear, is so highly tin-
soldier like' and insubordinate to'
countermand, for the' present, so much of
the said order as relates to Captain Deas's j
comrpany; as you ' very correctly say, in
this state bf things, the only troops ou
could rely on, in the'event of meeting the
enemy, would be the Virginia, your artil
lery, &c, including your J dragoons-and
mounted men. The unwarrantable attack
made on Colonel Paine, for no other
cause but4hat of doing his duty with zeal,
and in a soldierly manner arid compelling
fhose under him to do so; is the mosr
disgraceful and cowardly occurrence which
has taken place since the commencement of
the present war. The prompt measures you
Have taken to pot down thevsame, which
are entirely approved, I hope will-restore
a proper state of discipline in that corps,
(the North - CaroHna regiment,) and that
it will, for the tims to come; by its good
conduct, make amends for the errors it has
fallen into. :

With respect and esteem, your friend and

Commanding at Saltillo, Mexico.
Official: IRVIN McDOWEEL,
Assistant Adjutant General."
What will the people of Noith Carolina
say to.th it? Arc the Whigs- prepared to
put up yjth this slander, uttered against
our brave Volunteers by Gen. Taylor,
and by voting for him, endorse it and
approve it? Rear it in mind; fellow-citizens,
and let it be rungthronghout the State, that!
General Taylor has declared, in an officii .
letter, that the North Carolina Regiment
V r
could not be. "relied on" in the hour of
battle, and that their conduct had been not
only "highly unsoldierlike and in
subordinate" but' (''disgraceful and
cowardly. "aPQ We submit the above
letter to the people of the State without
comment. Tho appeal is to them to
: their regard for I hsir oivn rhnrntttr
r- -
and for our gallant Volunteers, who are
thus slandered, and branded with epithets
calculated to disgrace them and their poS-
tcnty forever. Will the people of the
Sute set the seal of their approbation on
this conduct, of General Taylor, by voting
for htm? Will
any Whig Elector dare to
stand up before the people and attempt to
excuse it? Wc shall see.

IIa Refuses to Resign. We find in an
exchange paper the following: An old
gentleman thinks Taylor can't be much
,ike Washington, for Washington resigned
bis office at the close of the war, whereas
Taylor hangs on to his commission, and is
electioneering for promotion." Gen,
Taylor is evidently determined to have
something to fall, back upon, if he is worth
aft ft 1
already some two or three hundred
. .... . . .
thousand dollars. lie believes in the
proverb that a bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush"; and he would no doubt
regard it as the height of folly to "surren-
! ls thirty rations per day, with the
ver llm cbances "which he has of getting
in posscsiou of twenty-five thousand dol-
lars per annum, as President.-'-
" The Detroit Free Press thus touches off
the manner in which Gen. Taylor holds on
to his rations and his $600 per month:
' Gen. Taylor is allowed four servants
and eight horses by the government!
Gen. Taylor, horses and servants. In ad

Dates from Vera Cruz to the 13th inst.

the public affairs were rapidly approaching

that the people of Tampicohad proclaimed
the independence of the State of Tamauli-

Gin House Burnt. A new gin house,
belonging to Mr. Harper, of this county,
was burnt last week,, under singular.
circumstances, which show ..the necessity'
of caution while about such combustible
matter. Some locofoco matches fell from

room, and were accidentally trodden on;
and ignited. The fire instantly commu
nicated to the cotton, which at this, seasoa
is as dry and combustible as tinder, and the
whole building was in a moment in a blaze.
