LETTER FROM GET!. TAYLOR
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
February 4, 1848,
The SPEAKER laid before the House
a Message from the President of the
United States, communicating the fol
lowing Documents from the War Depart
ment, in compliance with a resolution of
the House of the 31st ultimo:
WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON,
February 3, 1848.
To the President of the United States:
Sin : In compliance with your direc
tions to be furnished with " a copy of
General Taylor's answer to the letter,
dated January 27, 1847, which was ad
dressed to Gen. Taylor by the Hon. Wil
liam L. Marcy, Secretary of War," I
have the honor to submit herewith a
copy of the letter referred to. The let
ter from this Department of the 27th of
January, 1847, was laid before Congress
pursuant to a call at the last session.—
The answer to it, now submitted, was
not then written, and did not reach this
Department until more than a month
and a half after the resolution calling
for the correspondence with Gen. Tay
lor was answered, and Congress had
adjourned. Very respectfully, your obe
dient servant, W. L. MARCY.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF OCCUPATION,
Agun Nueva, March 3, 1847
SIR : I have had the honor to receive
your communication of January 27th,
enclosing a newspaper slip, and express
ing the regret of the Department that
the letter copied in that slip, and which
was addressed by myself to Major Gen.
Gaines, should have been published.
Although your letter does not convey
the direct censure of the Department or
of the President, yet, when it is taken
in connexion with the revival of a para
graph in the regulations of 1825, touch
ing the publication of private letters
concerning operations in the field, 1 am
not permitted to doubt that I have be
come the subject of Executive disappro
bation. To any expression of it, com
ing with the authority of the President,
I am bound by my duty, and by my re
spect for his high office, patiently to sub
mit ; but, lest my silence should be con
strued into a tacit admission of the
grounds and conclusions set forth in
your communication, I deem it a duty
which I owe to myself to submit a few
remarks in reply. 1 shall be pardoned
for speaking plainly.
In the first place, the published letter
bears upon its face the most conclusive
evidence that it was intended only for
private perusal, and not at all for publi
cation. It was published without my
knowledge, and contrary to my wishes.
Surely, I need not say that I am not in
the habit of writing for the newspapers.
The letter was a familiar one, written
to an old military friend, with whom I
have for many years interchanged opal
tons on professional subjects. That he
should think proper, under any circum
stances, to publish it could not have
been foreseen by me.
In the absence of proof that the pub
lication was made with my authority or
knowledge, I may be permitted to say
that the quotation in your letter of the
six hundred and fiftieth paragraph of
the superseded regulations of 1825, in
which the terms " mischievous" and
nisgraceful" are employed to charac
terize certain letters or reports, conveys,
though not openly, a measure of rebuke
which, to say the least, is rather harsh,
and which many may think not warran
ted by the premises. Again : I have
carefully examined the letter in ques
tion, and I do not admit that it as obnox
ious to the objections urged in your
communication. I see nothing in it
which, under the same circumstances, I
would not write again. To suppose that
it will give the enemy valuable informa
tion, touching our past or prospective
line of operations, is to know very little
of the Mexican sources of information,
or of their extraordinary sagacity and
facilities in keeping constantly apprized
of our movements.
As to my particular views in regard
to the general policy to be pursued to
wards Mexico, 1 perceive by the public
journals that they are shared by many
distinguished statesmen, and also in
part by a conspicuous officer of the
navy, the publication of whose opinions
is not perhaps obstructed by any regu
lations of his Department. It is difficult,
then, to imagine that the diffusion of
mine can render any peculiar aid to the
enemy, or specially disincline hun "to
enter into negotiations for peace."
In conclusion, I would say that it has
given me great pain to be brought into
the position in which I now find myself
with regard to the Department of War
and the Government. It has not been
of my own seeking. To the extent of
my ability, and the means placed at my
disposal, I have sought faithfully to
serve the country by carrying out the
wishes and instructions of the Execu
tive. But it cannot be concealed that
since the capitulation of Monterey the
confidence of the Department, and I too
much fear of the President, has been
gradually withdrawn, and my consider
ation and usefulness correspondingly
diminished. The apparedt determina
tion of the Department to place me in
an attitude antagonistical to the Gov-
ernment has an apt illustration in the
well-known fable of Esop. But 1 ask
no favor,
and I shrink from no respon
sibility. While entrusted with the com
mand in this quarter I shall continue to
devote all my energies to the public
good, looking for my reward to the con
sciousness of pure motives and the final
verdict of impartial history.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obe
dient servant, Z. TAYLOR,
Maj. Gen. U. S. A., commanding.
Hon. W. L. iVlincy,
Secretary of War, Washington.
HINTS FOR SPRING.
With every year, (says the Hallowell,
Me., Gazette) the farmer should grow
wiser and improve upon past systems
and usages in the management of his af
fairs. At this day, such a result is by
no means difficult as is incontestibly de
monstrated by the experience of thou
sands who have cast aside the old sys
tems and gray-beard notions of the past,
and adopted views more in accordance
with the requirements of natural laws
and the wisdom of the times in which
they live.
Farmers who do not read cannot make
much progress in improvements, but
rather the reverse ; and he who regards
the sources of knowledge as having been
exhausted in his forefather's day, will
necessarily retrograde rather then ad
vance.
In getting in your more important
field-crops, see that every thing is per
formed timely, and in the most perfect
manner. The proper preparation of the
soil for a crop, is a very essential requi
site, and one that exercises a mighty in
fluence through all the subsequent sta
ges of its growth.
No farmer would think of planting one
bean or one kernel of a corn in a hill :
yet he might as well do this as to plant
the proper number, and neglect to pro
vide a sufficient medium, or the nutri
ment requisite to secure their develop
ment and growth. Plough well and
deep, harrow thoroughly, and manure
liberally, and with proper attention and
care in the after culture, there will be
little doubt of your obtaining a good
'this is a season when every economi
cal culturi4 will be found attending to
his own business.—There is much to de
mand his personal and undivided atten
tion, for he who relies upon the discrimi
nation, fidelity and judgment of "helps,"
without according his own attention to
the details of the farm, will necessarily
lose much that he might have saved. In
the barn, in the stables, and in the field,
he should be known and recognized as
the "Commander-in-Chief." Remember
that
..He who by the plough would thrive,
Himself roust either hold or drive."
Procure the best seeds. Never plant
or sow grains that have "run out," or
in any way become deteriorated, even
though you should be compelled to pay
double price for other and better kinds.
—Make experiments, and notice careful
ly the results; in this way an observing
farmer will acquire much important in
formation, that will be of practical bene
fit to him through life. In cross-plough
ing, never permit the plough to run deep
enough the second time to disturb the
inverted sward. This is a practice sub
versive of all good farming, and ought,
therefore, by no means to be indulged.
Now to make AL Match.
Catch - a young gentleman and lady in I
good condition ; let the gentleman bl
green, and the lady be tender. Place
them at the dinner table, and baste the
gentleman with a good quantity of wine.
While he is soaking, stick in a good
word every now and then about Miss,
this will help to make him boil. When
' he begins to change color and turn red,
take him into the drawing room, set
him and the lady side by side, stuffthem
with sweet cakes and strong green tea.—
Then place them at the piano, and blow
the flame till the lady sings; when you
hear the gentleman sigh, it is time to
remove them, as they are warm enough.
Now, put them by themselves in a cor
ner of a room, or on a sofa, and there
let them simmer together for the rest
of the evening. This sort of game is
not cooked at one dressing, but if re
peated two or three times, care being
taken to keep them together as much
as convenient, they will be ready for ma
trimony whenever they are wanted.
N. B. After marraige they will re
quire looking to now and then, as they
are apt to become sour.
Brigs t.--. Are those democratic dogs 1'
asked a politician of a little boy, who felt
rich in the possession of a number of pup-
pies, but a few days old.
• 'Yes, sir,' was the reply.
'Then I won't buy them ; I don't want
any but whig ones,' said the gentleman.
W ell, sir,' said the boy, 'they are
democratic now, because they havn't got
their eyes open. They'll be whig fast
enough one of these days.'
The whole lot was purchased.—Lynn

A young man having preached for
Dr.—, was anxious to get a word of
applause for his labor of love. The
grave Dr., however, did not introduce
the subject, and his brother was obliged
to bait the hook for him. "I hope, sir,
did not weary your people by the
length of my sermon to•day." "No, sir,
not at all, nor by the depth either."—
Lastly, the young man was silent.

"Listen," said my uncle Toby, "listen
and attend, and you shall have a moral
and an example. When the wasp now
in the window entered the room, you
flew at it with all kind of violence. I
wonder it didn't sting every one of you.
Now, in future, let a wasp, when it
comes, have its little bout, and make its
little noise. Don't stir a muscle—don't
stir a hp—but be as quiet as the statue
Venus or Diana, or any body of the sort,
until the wasp seems inclined, as at this
moment, to settle. Then do as I do now."
Whereupon, dipping the feather end of
the pen in the cruet of salad oil, he ap
proached the wasp, and in the softest
and tenderest manner possible, just oil
ed it upon the body—the black and yel
low-like groom's waistcoat—when down
it fell—turned upon its back, and was
dead in a minute. "There, girls," said
he, "see what kindness and a little oil
does. Now here's my moral and exam
ple.—When a hnsband comes home in an
ill humor, don't cry out and fly at him:
but try a little oil—in fact, treat your
husband like a wasp."
PRETTY GOOD.—An old lady living on
one of the telegraph lines, observed some
workmen digging a hole near her door.
She inquired what it was for ! "To put
up a post for the Telegraph," was the
answer. Wild with fury and affright,
she incontinently siezed her bonnet, and
ran to the next neighbor with the news.
"What do you think," she exclaimed
in breathless haste, "they're a settin up
that cussed paragraph right agin my
door, and now I reckon a body can't
spank a child, or scold a hand, or chat
with a neighbor, but that plaguy thing'll
be blabbin it all over the creation! I
won't stand it. I'll move right away
where ther aint none of them onnateral
fixins."
HYDROPHOBIA.-A number of dogs in
the city and county of Philadelphia are
going mad, and several persons have been
bitten by them. The hydrophobia dis
position is attributed to the sudden tran
sitions from cold to heat, and from heat
to cold, that have marked the weather
this winter.
The Hon. John P. Hale, has written a
letter to the organ of the Liberty Party,
accepting the nomination for the Presi.

The only known Medicine that at the same
time purges, purifies and strengthens
the system.
LOXDO?f, July 7,1846.
DR. LE ROY'S Pills ore a new medicine which
has just appeared, and is fast taking the places
of all others of the same class. These pills are
composed of many ingredients, but the two princi
pal ones are Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry, so uni
ted that they act together; the one, through its
admixture with other substances, purifying and
purging, while the other is strengthening the sys
tem. Thus those pills are at the same time ton i c
and opening; a desideratum long and eagerl
sought for by medical men, but never before die
covered. In other words they do the work of twe
medicines, and do it much better than any two we
know of; for they remove nothing from the system
but the impurities; so that while they purge they
strengthen; and hence they cause no debilitation,
and are followed by no reaction. Dr. Le Roy's
pills have a wonderful influence cn the blood ; they
not only purify without weakening it. but they re
move all noxious particles from the chyle before it
is converted into fluid, and thus make impure
blood an utter impossibility. As there is no debil
itation, so there is no nausea or sickness attending
the operations of this most excellent of medicines
which never strains or tortures the digestive func
tiona, but eauaes them to work in a perfectly natur
al manner; and hence persons taking them do not
become pale and emaciated, but the contrary ; for
while it is the property of the Sarsaparilla, united
as it is with other ingredients, to remove all that is
foreign and impure, it is equally the property of
the Wild Cherry to retain all that is natural 110
sound; and hence a robust state of health is the
certain result of their united operations.

Messrs. Sanford & Park :—I take this oppor
tunity of informing you of a most i ermirkaide
cure performed upon me hy the use of Dr. W
ic
tar's Balsam of Wild Cherry.
In the year 1840 I was taken with an inflamma
tion of the bowels, which I labored under for nix
weeks, when I gradually recovered. In the fall of
1841, I was attacked with a severe cold, which
seated itself upon my lungs, and for the space of
three years I was confined to my bed, I tried all
kinds of medicines, and every variety ut medical
aid, without benefit ; and thus I wearied along un
til the winter of 1845, when I heard of Wistar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry.
My friends persuaded me to give it a trial,
though T had given up all hopes of recovery, and
had prepared myself for the change of another
world Through their solicitations I was induced
to make use of the Genuine W biter's Balsam of
Wild Cherry. The effect was truly astonishing.
After five years of affliction, pain and sulli•ring,
and after having spent four or five hundred dollars
to no purpose and the best and most respectable
physicians proved unavailing, I was soon restored
to entire health by the blessing of God and the use
of Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry.
I em now enjoying good health, and such is
my altered appearance, that I am no longer known
when I meet my acquaintances.
I have gained rapidly in weight, and my flesh
is firm and solid. I can now eat as much as any
person, and my food seems to r gree with mr. I
have eaten more during the lost six months, than
I had eaten in five yearn before.
Considering my case almost as a miracle, I
deem it necessary for the good of the afflicted, and
a duty I owe to the proprietors and my fellow
men, (who should known whets relief may he hull)
to make this statement public.
May the hi ssings of God rest upon the poprie
tors of so valuable a medicine as Wl,iar's Balsam
of Wild Cherry. Yours, Respectfully,
11 M. H. BAKER.
D-Read the following from Dr. Jacob
Hoffman, a physician of extensive prac
tice in Huntingdon county :
Dear Sir :—I procured one bottle of
Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Mild Cherry,
from Thomas Read, Esq., of this place,
and tried it in a case of obstinate Asth
ma on a child of Paul Schweble, in which
many other remedies had been tried
without any relief. The balsam gave
sudden relief, and in my opinion the
child is effectually cured by its use.
Yours, &c.,
JACOB HOFFMAN, M. D

BEW./IRE OF COUNTERFEITS.
Those who counterfeit a good medicine for the
purpose of adding a few dollars to their pockets,
are fur worse than the manufacturers of spurious
coin. For while the latter only rob us of our pro
perty. the fo:tner take property, and health and
life away. Dr. Wistar's Balsam of V% ild Cherry
is admitted try thousands of disinterested witnesses
to have effected the most extraordinary cures in
cases of pulmonary and athmatic character, ever
before recorded in the history of medicine.
The young, the beautiful, the good, all speak
forth its praise. It is now the favorite medicine
in the most inteligent families of our country.
Such a high stand in public estimation has been
achieved by its own n:erits alone. And so long as
a discerning public are careful to get Wistar%
Balsam of Wild Cherry, and refuse with acorn,
counterfeits, and every ~ther article proffered to
them as substitutes, no long will cures, positive
cures,chem the fireside of many a despairing fain-
ily.
oryThe true and genuine Wistar's Balsam of
Wild Cherry is sold at established agencies in all
parts of the United States. Sold in Cincinnati,
