EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR - PITTSBURGIII MONDAY MORNING, FE:BRUAEY 0,.1846 General Taylor. • ' We have not, heretofore; editorklly, alluded.

When we .first lead the letter, i t , •••••• • viit-torteluded -it was a forgery, as; its tone and appeared to us not thoie of a brave suathigh-minded General, as we conceived Old tr Ileady".to And when.we can it stated in the papers that General GAINES Ml swonted that he was the - recipient of the let 'ter,:artd that it was pUblished at his instance, it •• atily "strengthened the opinion we, had, previous. ly formed that he (Gaines) is sadly deficient in • discretion, if ntit it common sense. Now, as the'letter of General TA:l.mi turns ;ottt tO geduineol:e question .aries, why was • ''ittiWir letter Written to a private individual?— _- „Ip the first plice, it Loa§ wrong General TAl is'.thake his complaints, however well graidale.d, the subject of -a letter to any man not-,connected with the Administtation. If he Itafl,,imysuggestimis to make or any grievances to ! iiTTorth, he should have written to the Pres ident of 'the .Uuited States or the:: NN'ar Depart ' talent at Washington. In the sebond place, it "sharstreeng to publish a private letter during the existisnse..of - the war, written by a General in the Add. 'l%rhen such a document finds its way in ,p):. e newspapers ; it is soon circulated it/ the pethy ccountry, to he there read by those who ,NzlieUl.rtakeiedventnge of its statements, Sthateyer be.': The tone` of the letter would the enemy_ to forma pretty correct Am! of the , - plans, feelings, inclinations and fore bedings of the writer. , • - The . writing and publishing of the leper all st. -: io another bad, effect. It undoubtedly dm confidence which flit Government reposes ill : tits - military officers, andtgives rise to jits t lom and . bad feeling. We wouly be sorry to tatter 41. 4 'ivord or write a sentence against General 741rtit*,. ' , go . has served - his `country faithfully is - the war • -with Maxieit, and lie has alrdatly ... • • - been rewarded with the best gift that can' be oared hire:the thanks of the ameticun people— But, if be wro e the letter to Ge.nerat Grisrs : l with the iitention of having - it published, 'and ; thereby endeavor' to get tip a prejudice against I the administration, with the s•i , ew of plating himself at the bead_ of a cert ain " party as its' . Candidate for the 'Presidency- —we say , if iamb Were Genend Tiatorits intentions) be had better, !Sligo his command at once, and! come hdme.l the charily to think that he wrote the later - • oclamation, but as a prt — vitte letter, hastily and - , ; sly thrown • together, without the remotest idea Cif. l , 4 4 ing way into the peldic newspayers l 7 t see - it annowiced that soMe members of CcMgress,isince the publication of; General j rAr: • xmr's letter, bate published a t r.rd in a tillasb tog* City paper, recommending hint as the vhig • candidate for "President in 1545. i This is t l p be deeplrrepetfetl. This Movement very foolish . itnd in exceeding bad taste. If General Tstton tetinctions•;sueha. use of his name„he should] not remain One dafionger in the fleld. Ms plate is *lt there, A. movement of this deecription Would satutkstappear inevitable after reading the Putt • Gen. Taxies. There is a certain class of politicians who ire even ready to ieirel upon the most trivial affair as ani excuse to op- pose a Democratic administration, however-well it may be conducted. - It is more in sorrow than in angel- that we {Trite this article. We regret there is any necessity for tie to allude to the conduct of Gen. TArton In a disapprobatory manner. He has won laurels fur himself, undoubtedly, and his countrymen, with ... = out reference to party, have awarded him all praise fortis heroic acts; but he passed the bounds ofi discretion when he wrote that foolish letter to Gen. Gaines It was contraryto the character of a brave and high-minded officer. We said at the beginning of this article that, our Alit impression was, when reading! Gen. Taylor's letter, that it was not genuine. It seems that the Editor of the Journal in this'city, ; arrived at, the nine Conclusion, and it was not until after he was satisfied of its genuineness, that hi consented to lay it before his readers. The aczeite editor swal lowed it like a fresh oyster! The idmeriran o we believe, has . not published the letterAut the editor, who is a KLean man, and hence opposed to mak log Gen. Taylor President, has taken occasion to., give the General a severe cut—"the unkindest of all"—a stab under the fifth rib! We copy as fol . lows from the American of Thursday evening "In the capitulation of MontereY his condiict, • we can but little doubt, was faulty, as he appears by his "own statement, to have been duped by Am pudia-into the belief of a peace. Here the .Ntexi can played the same game upon him that Napo leon did on the Austrian at Riveto—the same credulity producing the same impiartant advtan tages to the opposite and worsted party; for, with. out the ruse, Bonaparte was beaten] But neither tbe.Austrian at Riven), or American at Monterey could be accused of more than too! great a sim plicity. There was nothing crirnimil to be urged against either. Of the late letter of Gen. Taylor, less can be said in defence. There is a weakness aboutit, to say the least, altogether unbecoming the high rank and responsible station he holds,— Indeed we know of nothing to palliate or excuse it. As the General in command al an impcirt - alit campaign, he commits to the mercies of others, &detail of intended operations, every purpose of Which' should be guarded with the most scruPu lona secrecy. It is an offence, which if done lby any n efficer with a doubtful purpose, Should subject him to the severest punishment. But when done iby the commanding General in levity, or negligence orignorance, must be regarded as the heighthi of imprudence and evidencing an unfitness for his trust. But Government had already superseded him id command, and it would have consulted its true dignity in resting satisfied here for this act!of indiscretion, and passed to the better and more commendable part of his conduct, which they I slionldhive kept more generously in remembrance. _'His.indiscretions should have been forgotten, and the"victories of the army which he'commanded, and to the merit of which he may juStly lay clairn, only remembered. Gen. •Taylor'a friends quote the example of Washington for the letter writing; but n they forget that Gen. Washington never wrote or published intended plans of his command, unless to the _President of Congress. No matter how' full this private letters may have been of the past—there -is nothing to be found in any of themof the in teeded future." • 4mericaa speaks thus of the signers to the-call for the M'Lean meeting: 1. 11 4'itey simply meant to signify a Wish for the nomination of Judge IWLane as the.

Of the Inspedors of the Western renifentiary off Pennsylvania, far the year 1816, with accompany. ing Documents- The pamphlet with the above title has been handed us. WY. have read it through; not with a view merely of finding matter for comment; but because we felt a deep interest in the importance,' of the facts contained in the documents of the Re port. Prison discipline is a subject that has of late years excited much attention and caused a great deal of discussion, not only the Press and I Legislators, but in social cireleS. Jt embracesthe means of preventing crime and reforming the unfortunate criminal. The Report before us goes to show that the world renowned Pennsylvania system of solitary confinement has advantages high above the con gregate system, or what is termed the "Auburn System." The former is more in accordance with the spirit of the age, which requires kind treat ment and due regard to present comfort and future, welfare of the prisoners. They :should be educa ted and protected, rather than punished by vindic tive rules. The laws should only demand that those who offend, shall be excluded from society, for the sake of its members, and not rendered more debased by a discipline that annoys and distresses them. Mercy, and . not vengeance should be awarded to the criminal. The Directors in the Report thus set forth the advantages of the Pennsylvania system : The convict is unknown to his fellow-convict. Ex cept to his keeper, his name is an oblivion, and upon the expiration of his sentence, recognition is impossible, even by those who have labored for years in an adjoining apartment. When the stern mandate of the law is obeyed, and the ends of jus tice answered, the captive goes free, without the mark of Cain upon him, and if purged of his vices, he can mingle in the busy throng of life, exempt from the badge of disgrace which would other wise, from exposure, attach to person.-- Unlike the congregate system, his intercourse is I with the good and not with the bad; and his over seer, in pktce of being au object of distrust and sus picion, vi ho binds his broken spirit and adminis- 1 ters to him the consolations of our holy religion. Instead of addressing his fears through the instra• mehtality of the lash and the bayonet, his self respect, the latent principle of his manhood, is ap pealed to. and his better judgment is called into activity by well timed and wholesome admonition, accompanied by inflexible firmness." The Physician, Dr. Dale, also bears ample testi mony upon the same subject, of the solitary sys tem. He judges by the physical condition of the prisoners. He reports that much less sickness prevailed in 1546 than the fornier year; and then adds that this fact is evidence that ~ the separate system of imprisonment as here administered is not injurious to the physical and mental health of convicts." • Me further says: E=M jority have not "forsaken their first love," nor the Society as yet turned from the unqualified advoca cy of the Auburn system, yet a portion of that committee were convinced of the error of theirpre vious opinions, and a most able "essay on the sep arate and congregate system of prison discipline," has been published by Mr. S. G. Howe, of Boston, one of the committee, in which decided preference is given to the 'separate system.'" From the Physician we also learn that: "There have been six deaths during the year, being two more than in the previous year. There were one hundred and thirty convicts at the crrnencement of the year, and sixty have been received during the year, making, one hundred and ninety." At the risk of making this review too long, we quote another extract from the same: 'The greatly improved, moral condition of the prisoners, a fact which none, connected with the prison,, can have failed to notice, has evidently ex ercised a salutary influence on the physial health. It has produced a calm and contented state of mind, so important for the preservation of health —and with almost cheerful submission, in some cases, to the penalty of the law and the discipline of the prison, there has ceased the seeking out of trilling ailments and complaints. Thus-has our Moral Instructor encouragement and stimulous to persevere in his faithful labors; for while he is in strurnental in reforming the moral, he is also do ing good to the physical man." The Report of the Moral Instructor is quite in teresting. We can only give one extract. " Sixty have been received during the year, of these nine are colored, six males and three females Forty•three could read and write when committed; five could read only, and twelve could do neither. One of these last mentioned is of infirm mind and cannot learn. ;All the rest, except three, have learn ; ed to read and partially to write; the three who came lately are learning to read. Seventeen are , married—forty-three are either unmarried or wido wers. Fifty-eight have ben discharged either by pardon or expiration of sentence. All of these were able to read, and almost all to write, when they left. They, with few exceptions, give evi• deuce of a determination to behave well hereafter. There are at the present time, in and around • these two.cities, many individuals engaged in hon. orable employments. (three in one of our largest manufacturing establishments, and receiving kind and respectful treatment from those who know them, who learned the true principles of reforms : than within the walls of this prison. The lesson is carefully impressed upon the mind of every lib ! crated convict, that respect from all tmod inert and success in the world, are the rewards of geml con ' duct. and gcod conduct, to be durable, must have its origin in christiam principles. And also that crime, far more than its just punishment, is that which degrades. It is thus that the UnfortOnate and crirciinal, are weaned from the paths of vice and lare persuaded to seek a place in the paths nf virtue. Let eociety treat them with more kindness and en ! COW agement, the penitent convict, es they new do the repentant drunkard, and re-imprisonment in , our Penitentiaries, will become less liequent. The library connected with the prison, has not been much increased during the past year. Its volumes, hotvever, are read with attention end great profit. I doubt not, but that when the be nevolent shall sec how - much good can be done to the community and to the unfortunate convict, by contributions to this important auxiliary in their reformation, it will receive mere liberal support."

Taylor. ( says:—" It is difficult to divine the motive of the Express, in thus embarrassing and weakening the position of General Taylor." And the Journal very significantly adds—" It is mot, however, the first time that paper has affordedr , iaid and comfort" to the Locofocos, at the expense of those for whom it professes friendship." The publicatior. of the letter may afford "aid and comfort " to the Mexicans—but it surely does not to the " Locofocos," as the Journal has it. cCyriie New York Evening Post, in refering to the revival of the regulation against the publica tion of letters from army officers, relating to mili tary plans and operations, says:—"The Federal prints complain that it is levelled against General Terton. The National Intelligent -sr, in making this complaint, says it 'will not say that the regu lation may not be in itself, as a general pro per one.' That is enough—if it be a proper rule, a time of war is the proper time to- rezeive it. If it should prevent the publication of imprudent letters from General TAT Lqn, or any other officer, we do not see that this constitutes an objection to it." WAR REPORT CONTRADICTED.--yhe report no. tired by the New Orleans Picayune, says the Union, that Santa Anna had placed himself be tween General Taylor and General Worth, with 33,060. men, &c., is not confirmed by the last des patches from General Taylor. , A letter from Gen.

I3ut if it passes the LegislatUre, it will effeetually put a stop to the rspid stride of improvement which is now going on in the New Wards, and drive our spreading population to Allegheny. It is well known that the City District Act was got up years ano in the City Councils, by the representatives of the Old Wards. It was forced on ,the people of Pitt Township without and against their consent. They have been tailed for years to pay the enor moos cost of laying out the District according to tl e wishes of the City Fathers. When the time came that they could legally claim admission as Wards, under the Act got up by the Old Wards, they were at first repulsed by their sneering step mother, and at last, by perseverance, got those rights, which otherwise a mandamus of the Court would have compelled the Old Wards to grant them. They have assumed their share of a debt of eight hundred thousand dollars, It hich was in curred for the improvements of the. Old Wards, and are bound for every dollar of it. In the pres ent financial condition of the City:they, can ex pect but small appropriations in their favor.— They ask but little. But there are men in the Councils who would delight to bring their) on their knees as suppliants, that they might - iocereise over them the power of tyrants, and grant them noth ing. An example of their tyranny was shown in the recent effort to. deprive a member from the Seventh Ward of his legal right to a seat in the Select Council. New Wards look out!

THE CITY:: We publish in another column a Bill introdued into the Stile Sente by GEO: Dinsik, Esq. rWe yesterday expressed an opinion. favorable to some change in the government of the city, that would afford a more just and equal representation. in the Councils. We are glad that.the Bill of Mr. Darsie has this in view. The reduction in the number of CoutiFilmen will not, we think, be ob jectato by any one.

We have heard this proposition objected to on the ground that it was not democratic. It may not be strictly democratic, we confess. But have we not now rules, usages, laws and institutions, very necessary under exist ing circumstances that are not democratic? We will mention' the army. Is it not an absolute despotism? And yet could its organization be bettered. But the reform we urge in regard to the May oralty, is - no great deviation from the- democratic "Idea; if itlis any.

This suit was brought to recover a tract of land in Muffin township, containing 100 acres, with a Fulling Mill and other buildings. The Plaintiff claimed under a parol contract or gift froth his father, the late Judge .M . Clure, accompanied by possession for many years, and extensive improve ments made upon the property. By the will of his father, it was devised to his brother, the De- fendant, and the Plaintiff attached the will upon the ground ot fraud and circumvention on the part of the Defendant, hi procuring it to be made when the Judge's mind vir . as impaired by age, he being one hundred years old at the date of his death.— The trial was one of the most exciting that has ever been tried in this county, and was argued with masterly ability by the counsel on both I sides.

In the case of Hays vs. Hagen, the Plaintiff called a witness, who was sworn, and a portion of his testimony taken down.

The Court, however, deci ded that his testimony was admissible, inasmuch as his competency was not disputed before sworn. cry We yesterday enquired for information as to the mother of a young man now in Perryopolis, Ohio, who has not seen her since he was three years old.
