Along the line of the Volley Rail Road from
Pottsville to Port Carbon, the past year has pro-
duced a <most ar:ionishing, change. Large num:
4.bers of new houSes have bein erected at short
drstanctafrom each other, and in the.vicinity of
the new Engine house and Machine shop, erected
by the Rail Road Company, a town of considera

magic. A :large Hotel called the Palo Alto
House: built by the company was opened in the
spring, and aireaily the.new town contains' a pop

most active one. Entering the townlrorii any

near scud, annexed, an eitract of, a'
letter which,l. liave recently received fromlieneral
Taylor; and as it shadows !Mill tte feelings and
views of the General, on the subject of the .next
Presidency; in a l manner which can do
‘ 'no vio
lence to the feelings - of any. one,l have determined
to have published.that poition of it which relates to
a subject in which his naive has been very general
ly associated throughout ttie country for some time
past. Ido so with more, readiness; because it is
eminently calculated to give a proper insight Into
the real character of this eminent man Picase
let it have a place; ih your colutins.
Yours, very sincerely and , respectfully., ,
Extract frinn Gen. Taylor's leiter.
•In regard to , the Presidency, will not say
that I would'fMt serve, if the 9 , ond people of the
country werdqo require me , to do so, however
much it is opposed to my. wishes, for I am free, to
say that I have fro pspirations for the situatien.
My greatest, perhaps only wish, has been to bring.
or aid in bringing, this war to a speedy and hon.
arable 'clorre.• It hai eeer been e land still is, -my
anxious Wish ; that some one of the most expe
rienced, talented and' virtuous statesman . of,the
country, should bo chosen to that '_ high' place at
the next ; election. I am' satis6ed, that, if our_
friends will
,do their duty, such a- citizen • may
be elected. ' • , •
"I 'must, however, be alMwed 'to say, that
have not the vanity to consider myself qualified
for ,s.O highresponsible a station, and-Whilst
we have far ore eminent - and', deserving names
before the country, I should prefer to stand aside,
if one of (them could be raised, to the first '<Ace in
the gift 'of a tree people.'
,
I go for the cm.ntry, the:whole couotry—and
it is my ardent and sincere , wish to see the indi
vidual phice4 at the head of the nation, who by,a
stria observance of the constitution (be he who he
may) can make us most prospo'reus at 4=os
well as most respected abroad." •
