I.ATK FROM MRXtCO.
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-

Authentic Portrait of Gen. taylor,
Alwood, tho Philadelphia artiat, who went to
Mexiro expressly to paint a portrait of old
Unugh-and-Ready, haa returned to Philadelphia

"We dropped into trie eirrft'er of Mi Atwood
yesterday afternoon, by invitation, Tor the pur
poao of viewing the pictures of Cen. Taylor
with which he ha just returned from Monterey,
and cxpreealy to paint which he made a jour
ney to that far-off scene of one of the greatest
achievements of our glorious arms in Mexico.
These picture consist of a portrait represent
ing old "Rough and Ready" a lie appears on
hi camp stoui, with check shirt, and dtcw in all
respect noorirlW and a full length, which
sl.ows the old hero aa he looked on the bloody
battle field of Duena Vistn, with Mexican om
hrrro, an officer's half uniform, and that celc
brated brown overcoat The faillilulneei of the
likenena in both pictures ii Well attested Gen
eral Taylor hinifdf, aa well as several of the
officer of his command, endorsing their genu
ineness. 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. In the winter of 1824 there set In a
great flood tijtmi (hat town the tide toee to an
incredible height, the waves rushed in upon the
houses and eterjr thing was threatened with de
struction. In the miditoftiii sublime and ter-
ible storm, Dame Partington, who lived upon
he beach, was seen at the door of her house,
with mops and pattens, trundling her mops,
queezing nut the sea Water, and vigorously
pushing back the Atlantic Ocean ! The At
lantic was rnnned, Mrs. Partington's spirit was
up, bnt I need not tell ynu that the contest was
unequal. The Atlantic Ocean brat Mr. Par
tington. She was excellent at a slop or a pud
dle, but she nhould not have meddled ibith the
Atlantic Ocean ! Gentlemen! be at your ease

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."

The Lonlavllle Mystery.
A few days ago, a young lady walked ihlo
clothing store at Louisville, purchased a suit of
cloths (ss she sllpged)forher husband, and then
walked out. 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 !

ing advice for the cure of that much dreaded
dixease, hydrophobia. After describing the sym
toms, explaining th nature tnd activity of th
virus, he says:
Cauterise the wound thoroughly with fiintM"
caustic. 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. Previous to applying the
(allelic, it Will often be necessary to enlarge
the wound, that every part may be fairly got
at ; and after the first eschar has sloughed off,
it will he advisable to apply the Caustic a second
time tn destroy any part that may not have re
ceived the full influence of the ftrat iteration,
or that may possibly have hern inoculated mora
by it. Thib carefully end thoughtfully done, the
patmnt may feel perfectly safe. Tbe poison

repeatedly bitten by rabid dogs, and other vete
rinary surgeons also, but alter pursuing the
course above recommended, thy have felt en

a well aa by the experiments tried on inferior
animals. Thi advice given, not by quacks,

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

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

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. N. O. jfationul.
Gatx.t FfcAs rba Wl.vrta tec The lover
of green pcaa will be pleased to learn that they
can be preserved for winter use, by sire!y ga
thering them at the proper season for using them
green, shelling them and drying them in the
shade, and when well cured and perfectly dry,
packing them away for use. When required
for use, they ehould first be immirted in warm
water for ten or twelve hoars, which will rea
der them a tender and dsliciobsly succulent as
when taken from the vinel The best method for
preserving them after they have been thoroughly
cured by the above process, is to put them inty
close jars or bottles. In fhra way not only green
