Our readers may recollect that sometime ainre our correspondent at Jaltillo informed us of a freat excitement occasioned there by the arriv. al of two Mexican officer from fan Luis with despatches for Gen. Taylor. They were sup posed to be proposition! for price, but turned out to ba solemn inquiries whether it was the Gencral'i intention "to conduct the war accord ing to the manner adopted by the Cametichet." The wrath of Cen. Taylor at this prepotteroua insolence of the Mexicans was described as ludi croni, but we have never seen his reply till now. In the Mexican paper lately received the whole correspondence i given in Spanish. The let ter to Gen. Taylor was from Gen Moraly Villa mil, and dated the 10th May. The letter is long and we have no idea of translating it, and the impudence of it was not a whit exaggerated by tut correspondent. The nature of it will be sufficiently disclosed by Gen. Taylor's reply, which we translate although we feel what injus tice his terse and elegant style will suffer by the double translation. The letter i said to be da ted IlKn-QuAMTXKs, rKa Mojikrey,? May 19, 1847. S Sir I received yesterday your communica tion of the 10th inst, which informs me that you are instructed by the President SubxtiMte of the Republic to address me, with a view to demand from me a categorical reply ' whether my wishes and my instructions are to prosecute the war in conformity to the laws of nation and aa war is conducted by civilized countries, cr aa barbariotrs tribe carry it on among themselves, it being understood that Mexico is disposed and resolved to accept the manner which is proposed or carried out, and awaits the result in order to dictate it measures accordingly." If these instructions were not communicated to me through an authority as highly respectable as yourself, I should refuse to believe they ema nated from the Chief Magistrate of the Republic containing, a in fart they do contain, in my judgment, an implied but not less deliberated in sult towards me and towards the Government which I have the honor to represent. Viewing; them in this light, I shall decline giving the ca tegorical reply w hich is demanded of me, which I do with the respect due to his Excellency the President. A you have thought fit to communicate to me the instructions of your Government at some length upon the manner in which the war haa been carried on upon my part I improve this op portunity to make some remarka upon the sub ject. The outrage to which especial reference is made came to my knowledge after tbey bad been perpetrated, and I can assure you that neither yourself nor the President ol the Republic can have felt deeper pain than that which I felt on the occasion. All the means at the disposal with in the limits of our laws were employed, but in the greater number of cases fruitlessly, to iden tify and punish the delinquents. I cannot sup pose that you have been so ill-informed as to be lieve that such atrocities were committed by my connivance, order or consent, or that they by themselves give an idea of the manner in which the war has been prosecuted in this part of Mex ico. They were in truth unfortunate exceptions caused by the circumstances which I could not control. It appears to me in point to inform you that from the moment the American army set foot upon the territory of Mexico it ha suffered Indi vidually the loss of officers and soldiers who have been assassinated by Mexicans, sometimes al most iu sight of their own camp. An outrage of this character preceded the melancholy affair of Catena. I do not mention these troths with the view of justifying in any manner the practice Of retaliation, because my Government is sufficient ly civilized to make a distinction between the lawless acts of individual and tbe general policy which govern tbe operation ol an enemy ; but you have endeavored to make a comparison be tween our respective Governments in regard to the manner in which they conduct the sit, which I cannot pass without remark. In this connection it should be borne in mind that the Mexican troop have given to the world the ex ample of killing the wounded upon tbe field ol battle. A you have adverted to the requisition which I have made upon the people of tlese elates to make indemnity for the losses incurred by the destruction of one of our trains, I take the liber ty conforming you that this was not the ar,t of tbe Mexican troops exclusively, but that the ran c her os of the country where chiefly concerned in it ; and that tbe subsequent assatsination and mu tilation of th unarmed teamstera weie marked by an atrocion barbarity unequalled in the pre lent war. It ia with paia that I find mysell under th necessity of addressing yon in manner to wbic I am little aecoatomed ; bat I bar . been pro voked to do ao by the object and tbe manner of your communication, which i objectionable, in my estimation, a well in it insinuations aa in it ton. With respect to the implied threat of retaliation, I beg yoo to understand' that I hold it at it tro worth, and that I am at al) timea pre pared toast accordingly', wnatar'er may be the policy or mode ef carrying n the war which (ha. Mexican government or ita general may think it fro i U adopt. lam, air, with mvch- WL yfiur.vQJit iervaal....- ; : ,i 1. Tine, Ctro , At.

Mr. Atwood intend to make a public exhibition of these paintings tn i few days, when our citizens genetally will have an oppor tunity of viewing them. He deserves great credit for the efforts which he has made to ob lain them, and t!tey will be above all value, in caee by any future passage of our arms (which Ood foibid) General Taylor should be killeo. They are more in accordance with our ideas of the original, than anything which we have seen, and will do much to remove the improe eror. which is entertained that he has an unhand some face. All the engravin which have been published of the General, with the exception f Il'ifly', are, we are persuaded, the merest caricatures in tho world; end when Mr. At wood gets his engraved, which it ia his inten tion to do, will necessarily become consigned to the rubbith corner of the picture shops. Mrs. Partington, The ineffectual efforts made by a few politi cal papers, on both aitlrs, to destroy tho popu larity of General Taylor, remind us ol what the witty Sydney Smith said of the English House r tarda, when, in 1632. they threw out the Re form Dill. "I do not mean to be disrespectful," Were hit words, "but the attempt of the Lords to stop the progress of Itfform, reminds me very forcibly of the great torm of Sidmouth, and the conduct of the excellent Mrs. Partington on that oc casion.

A Si-b-vtitctb; rott Oil in MAtnistkt. EapcrimeMe are being tried upon the New Jer- sey railroad tn test the merits of a substitute for oil on the axles of the cars. The substitute is cold water. It is applied to the axletree by means of I small wheel, armed with buckets, snd enclosed within (he box that confines the end of the a.fle and contains the water. Its op eration is similar to that of the trough of water under the grindstone, and the greater the veloci ty of the wheel, so much the more coif.plefelf is the end of tho axle buried in water. The New York Pott saya.1 "Alter running the ear to which h isepplied, 15 miles for instance, at the high speed of a swift train, we found the water in the box as cM as when it waa put ther?, the end of th? axle was without any perceptible degres ot heat and the water bad no more discoloration than might hare been caused by the dual in the box. Fifteen miles, run at high speed, waa sufficient to lest the experiment, and such wefe the re sults. The principle upon which the patentee bases this application of cold water is, that the heat or electric influences formed at the extrem ities of the axle are dissipated or conveyed away by the water, just ss the atmosphere and the rain eonvey the electricity of the heavens to the earth. In an economical point of view, the successful application of water to machinery as a substitute for oil will save to the State of New York annual!;, as it ia estimated, nearly two hundred thousand doHar."

Not many minutes after this trons ction, she was seen in the neighborhood of the store in the very garments she had purchased for her hut-band. Curiosity was excited the police were ton the nit t-tt-e but the young la dy, somehow or other, could not be found, The Cincinnati Herald thus solves the mystery: "We have at last found out the secret of the mysterious lady who was tho cause of so much speculation at LnuisVilie. On Wednesday, as we were informed by respectable authority, a drayman on Main street, near S xtli, was aeeoa trd by a young gentleman, who aked him if he knew where a certain person lived, mentioning the name of a keeper of a house nf ill fame. Tho drayman said thai he did. Whereupon the young gentleman orlered hitn five dollars if he would almw him the house. He did so, and on arriving was rctjAested by the gentlemen to walk with him Up stairs which he did. When up stairs, the stronger ashed fur Mary. She came down, when he announced himself aa her brother, whom she had not seen for years, tjuite a talk ensued, when Mary asked Ibr her sister and family. The supposed young pen tlpmsn announced himself the sister, and open ing his Veal proved it Thereupon ensued tears showing a world of natural altection, Which was too real Tot tloubtin?. Tho Couple then went out of the hoUse, and talcing the Pittsburg pack et, left the eity. Thedisgutad s'.sler had learnt the condition of the one here, and had assumed this disguise that she might salely en in admie sion ar.d inrttire her to leave. She took the drayman with her, that she might run no risk of personal danger.' What a mors taticMhg illustration could be furnished of a sister's love ! How Matters StaVd.

Let this, sharpened to point, be ap plied thorouehly to every recess and sinuosity of the wound,- where the teeth or saliva of the animal could possibly have penetrated. This will form an eschar, hard, dry and insoluble, a compound of the animal fibre and the eaUatic, in which the virus is wrapped up, and from which it cannot be Separated, tn a short time this desd matter sloughs sway, and the virus is carried of! with it.

The ettreme simplicity of General Taylor' habits haa become proverbial ; but, like all hu man beluga, if, th old General waa hot proud of hi dress or of the pride and pomp of "glori ous wsr," he had his wealtneas, and U displayed itself in his state carriage. Thit magnificent Vehicle was nne of the last purchase the old soldier made ere he started for the wara. it was hone of these high-backed, four horse, soft cushioned, coat-of-arms pannelled afJairs, sucft as Martin Van Buren Imported from England to ride in when he Waa President, hut It was, In vulgar parlance, a Jeraey wtgnn, and one of the Ugliest and most Inconvenient onea ever sent out from that send soil State. We havo no doubt that this same waggon was kept on hand tn aome little tolintry tnwn until it waa discovered that no one would buy it, and it w sent out to New Orleana to eel'. Now, Old ie looked at it, and it struck his fancy as one ol the most luxuriant, strong axil-tree, hnrd -seated, low backed, first-rate csrriages lha ever was made; so he bought it, shipped it, an J in due time landed it at Corpus Christi It was evidently Gen. Taylor pet i ho kept it str,r. ing right op beside RinggoldV and Punrin' batteries, ss if he would have thn sop of rbnn der blaxe sway at any body that did not wiy it Was the greatest carriage that eVer was made-. The old General was never seen in it. by many, it wss supposed that the top Was art Inw that Mich a thing Was impossible. Whpn hsj started to Matamoras from Corpus Christ', it was made the carrier ol the old Gehral's blusj chest, and the ' celebrated over coat that, got wounded at ftuena Vista. After the ba't'e tf the 8th and Dth, a change for twohourg and fiT. ty-eeven minutes came over his feelings ho had read, no doubt, of "General Scott'a splen did military carriage" and old Zack came to the conclusion thathemuct put on a little gran deur, so he got into hia military carriage, and rtahed from Point Isabel to Matarcoras, to com plete hia victories by driving Arista from that town. No record was ever made when lie re sumed his old grey, but long before half the dis tance wss completed, a sick soldier was In the General's place, Ind he himself wss again ott horseback. Nothing of an exciting nature oc curred to the old "Jareey carryall" for a long time, tt Waa duly dragged about and stationed where its owner could see it taken care of and honored. It went up to Monterey, and finally doWh to Victoria. When the General was or dered back from his march to Vera Crut. the old wagon top looked exceedingly surly, and ite wheels screeched awfully, ttn this trip it met with a sad disaster. A drunken teamster run '.'is baggage wagon into if, tore the hind wheels off, and otherwise laid it in ruins. Now tho old General had philosophy enough to pocket, without repining, the orders that were biinvlin ting to his pride ; but he had not philosophy enough to pocket tha destruction of hia stsga carriage, so he rode up to the unfortunate team ster, and catching him by both ears, he shook the fellow's head violently, exclaiming "what did you do that for ; I brought (tha wagon) way from Corpus ChristL" Tha excitement passed away, the old General east a lingering glance at the ruina of hie pet, and left it to decay ba aide the road.
