Tho opponents if Gen. Taylor have urged, that lie was not the author of the ublc despatches that came from Mexico under his name. The following extracts will not only refute such base slanders, but will give a more just idea of the civil qualifications of General Taylor, than pcrliups anything that our readers liuve before seen. They ure taken from a letter of the Hon. John C. Speucor, published in tho New York Courier ami Enquirer, who, while Secretary of Wur, was no- cctMurily brought into frequent communication with Gen. Taylor: “ Yon ask mt'to communicate tin' opinion, which you understand hits been expressed by mo, iu rc- hrenreto tho uttainmentn of Gen. Taylor, derived from Ida rorrespontlenco with the War Depart ment durin? tho time it was in my charge, it is very true, I have often stated my high opinion, not only of the homiiiI judgment and iiiiHiirpnssed discretion of Gen. Taylor, but also of Ii|h capaci ty us a writer; and when doubts worn east upon the authorship of the admiraidedespatches which came from Mexico under his name, I declared un equivocally my thorough conviction that he was the author of them. And I stated my reasons for this conviction; that his ofiicial letters and other communications wliich hud fiilleii under tny ol>- Horvution contained the same condensed vigor of thought and expression, the Hittno peculiarities of style, and beauty, and force of language that characterized his Mexican despatches; and that, from circumstances personally known to me, I was certain that he could not nave had the aid in writing tlm letters and communications referred to, which hoiiio of the nc\vspu|>crs alleged Imd been rendered to him iu Mexico. This opinion 1 now deliberately reiterate. You and I krtmv per fectly well that, persons who are in tho habit of literary composition can detect tho style, manner of thought, anil turn of expression of a writer, alter having been acquainted with some of his productions, with a certainly at least equal to that with which utiexpert in penmanship can decide upon the signature o( one whom he lias e cu write his name. “ I do not mean to deny that Gen. Taylor, like General Washington, and liko every other modest man. may have had the aid of a literary friend in looking over his despatches, written, us they must have I ecu, under great excitement and sometimes in haste; mul that friend may have erased a redun dant word or phrase, or rounded a period. If this bo evidence of incapacity, who sha ll o scape ? It Is notorious lliat tlie writings of Washington, and pirticularly bis Farewell Address, underwent tho revision of (ion. Hamilton; nnd that tho mes sages and public communications of every other President have always been subjected to the criti cal examination of his Cabinet. Indeed, I do not hesitate to say that the man w ho will submit im portant public papers to the public scrutiny with out tho revision of a friend, when it can ho obtain ed, will evince more presumption than good sense. “ For lurly years Gen. 'Taylor Ims been in tho military service of tho country; more than thirty years of the time in garrisons mid ut posts, where in a time of peace he has had abundant leisure. His habits are admitted on all sides to boexeinpla- rv, and bo to lie any thing but an indolent man. What, then, have probably been his occupations during the tedious days, weeks, months,and years of garrison duty ? The answer to the question may lie found in the rich, manly, and condensed thought that makes his compositions models of epistolary writing. And it may bn found in the Copartnership Notice. oaten uy i to Mr. Crittenden, and by him proclaimed at Pitts- T HE nii()«*rHi^ii«-(| linvint; lormcfi a t'ojmrlri-trsliip, under tin* iiiiiii*’ and style of Aver A Harrison, Votilil r< peelfully niinniiiiro to llieir trie mis and tliu •ulilic, that tliey have, taken tlie large Store lately i, pie.fi l»y Mo*firH.

He related some interesting facts connected with Mr. Cnlhoiin’s course in oppoHition to 54—10, nnd ascribed to him the credit of having turned back the current of public opinion, lashed into fury by the President’s ex treme claim to that territory, and having preserved peace. significant fact Hinted by Iho veteran Gem Gibson burg, that ho had boon for many yearn associated with Gen.

Men accustomed to business will see the full force of this fact.” He touched incidentally upon the Mexican war, and pressed the opinion that it was got into nnd precipitated i»y the rashness of the President. While we were in the he had never disputed about its propriety, necessity and ex|»ediency, bi.t bad reserved this expression of his opinion until wa were out of it. In closing, ho paid nn eloquent tribute toGeu. Taylor iu his military, civil and social character, and prodaitm I his intention of sup- (Kirting him for the Presidency.” A Noble Act.—General Taylor in 1844-6 was a Captain, or perhaps a Major by brevet, and sta tioned with his company at Green Bay—at that time far beyond the limits of civilization. The Paymaster received from the government the ne cessary funds to pay off the united States troops, wliich funds, save u smull amount, he exchanged for the tlUls of J. H. Piatt &c. Co., Bankers in tlie city of Cincinnati—this was a “ business transaction” on private acount. The Paymasters proceeded to Detroit, and there paid off the sol diers in this Locofoco individual responsibility pa per—ho then proceeded to Mackinaw, and there paid tho soldiers in like manner; lastly ho reached Green Bay. Here again tho Paymasters, with proper official solemnity counted out to Captain Taylor tho bills of J. H. Piatt A Co., Bankers, for’the soldiers. “Old Zuck” looking at the “rags,” said—Is this the stuff you intend lo pay us ! The Paymaster assured him it was the same ho paid to the men at Detroit and Mackinaw, but says he with a knowing wink, / have the United Stall s Bank Bills far you officers.

Vattemure, to bo presented to the National Museum iu Paris. He is now forty years old, but is sufficiently vigorous ft) warrant the idea that the eagle lives a century. Awful Calamity.—Wo loam, says the Co lumbia South Carolinian, that twenty of Governor Johnson's young negroes, between the ages of two and twelve years, wore burned to death on his plantation on the night of the 24th inst. The cabin in which they wero sleeping, took fire acci dentally, nnd the ffatnos were not discovered until it was too late to save them. Through tlie ex ertions of tho overseer, (Mr. John II. Sartoti) fif teen children wore rescued from the flames, but there wore twenty others left beyond tho reach of all human aid. Gen. Taylor.—WMIst tho procession last evening was moving iu another part of the city, a number of of persons in tho neighborhood of the Kt. Charles Hotel perceived Gen. Taylor in the la dies saloon, where he had been invited by Gen. Gaines to witness tho display. Tho moment they caught a glimpse of him they gave three chntrs for old Bough and Ready. General Taylor imme diately retire d to a part of the room in which he could not bo seen; but the crowd continued to in crease, and with it the cheers for the old thunder- er of Buena V’ista increased also. In a few min utes the streets in and about tho hotel wen* thronged with a multitude of persons all cheering Gen. Tay lor. Several gentlemen of the immense concourse of persons present left the crowd und went to Gen. Taylor and desired him to appear at the window of tlie saloon, as nothing el«o would sutisfy and disperse tho accidental assemblage. The Gene ral objected lo doing so, as it would seem an inter ference with tho apppointed ceremonies of tho night. But the crowd continued to increase and the cheering likewise; ho at length appeared at tho window. When he was seen hy tho multi tude below, the cheering whs deafening. As soon as silence could bo obtained, Gen. 'Taylor ad dressed tbe people in the street to tlie following effect: “ Fellow Citizknh—I ant accidentally in this city und would fain Ik- an unobserved spectator of tbe proceedings of this night. Tho evening has been sot apart to do honor to a friend, a brother soldier, and a gentleman who I respect, and to whom the country owes a debt of gratitude. I had hoped that no friends of mine would notice my presence in a way to attract uttention. But since you have seen fit to manifest your partiality in a manner which cannot escape notice, I can only thank you for the kindness of the compliment and wish you good night.” Gen. Taylor then retired amidst shouts which made the welkin ring. Gen. Gaines wa* thon cheered iu tho most entlnieiastic manner. The old veteran appeared at tlie window, and mado a few remarks in the spirit of tbe address of Gen. Taylor.—[Picayune 2d inst. [From tho N. O.

Yesterday at 11 o’clock, a. m., the committee appointed by the Governor to present to General Taylor the gold medal voted him by the Legisla ture in testimony of our admiration and gratitude for his great services in tho battle of Buena Vis ta, attended, in tho parlor of tho St. Charles, to perform the pleasing duty assigned to them. The committee consisted of Levi Pierce, Esq, Thomas J. Durant, U. N. District Attorney, Col. Preston W. Farrar, Speaker of the Houhc of Representa tives, and M. M. Reynolds, Senator from New Orleans and aid to his Excellency Governor Isaac Johnson. In a short time Gen. Taylor appeared in the parlor; accompanied by General Patterson and staff’, and several distinguished officers and citizens. The General had on his undress uni form and looked remarkably well. Mr. Pierce, holding tho medal and the Govern or’s letter of presentation in his hand, advanced to the General and made tlie following brief speech: General.—Wo wero honored by his Excellen cy, the Governor of this State, with tho agreea ble commission of procuring a suitable gold med al to lx? presented to you in conformity to an act ** ‘ U ' ‘ Tub Past and the Present.—The Cincin nati (jiizetto hits off’Croswell, of tho Albauy Ar gus, and Ritchie of tho Washington Union, in the following handsome stylo: “ When General Jackson was first named for the Presidency, Edwin Croswell, a Cassite Hun ker, and “ Father” Ritchie, the Court organ, ridi culed his pretensions, and sneered at his prospects —in their opinion “ Mister Jackson was romoved at an infinite distance from tho Presidency.” But “ Mister Jackson” was an “Old Hickory” ... the hands of the |ieople, and they made him Pres ident.

TAYLOR AND THE SHIPMASTERS. At noon yesterday a large concourse of cap tains of vessels, now in tin? port of New Orleans, waited ti|>oii Gen. Taylor, according to appoint ment, in tlio reception room of the »St. Charles I Intel, A more hardy or liner looking set of men il were difficult to find. S. »S. Prentiss, Esq., wi requested by the weather-beaten sons of Nei.time to introduce them to tlie favorite sou of Mura, which he did in his usually felicitous style, say ing:—“Gen. Taylor, 1 have been requested by my friends, the masters of vessels here present, to act ns their speaking-trumpet on the occasion, mid having mere brass than any one else, I suppose I can hardly decliuo tho duty they wish to assign me. They desire to express the grateful emotions they feel for the valuable und brilliant services you liavo rendered our common country. They love the Stars und »Stripesof Columbia, and have carried them to remote quarters of the globe, over far distant seas, and the further they have gono from home, the dearer have become those emblems of llieir free and happy land. Many of them will soon he ploughing the briny billow, and may never look upon your face again. They wish, ere they go, tohavo the pleasure of being introduced lo you, and of shaking that Jmnd which ims wiel ded the sword with so much glory for their coun try. When in distant lauds—tar from home, friends and country—it will be to them a proud satisfaction to ho enabled to say that they liuvo seen and conversed with tho man whose exploits have caused his name, all over the world, to be associated with that of Washington.” Then, l inning to the sea-caplains, ho said: “ Gentlemen, 1 introduce you all to Gen. Taylor.” The Gener al replied in a brief manner, apparently laboring under much emotion. Ho said: “Gentlemen, it is, f assure you, with the most unalloyed pleas ure that I make your acquaintance. That you have carried the Stars and Strips lo every sea yet discovered, I have long known and duly apprecia ted. I thunk you, gentlemen, for the Haltering man ner iu which you have alluded to my humble ser vices to our country. Those which have been rendered by the profession to wliich you belong have been greater than any deeds of your broth er-soldiers. I am not in the lmbit ol addressing crowds—My duties during much tlie larger jior- tion of my life havo called mo into the tented field, where actions speak louder than words.— Again, gentlemen, I thank you for your kind sen timents respecting me. Permit me to conclude hy saying that I greet you with unfeigned pleas- Icntum.” 'I’li.. riMim thiili ntumnil. ure and gratification.” The room then resound ed with cheers, the shipmasters gathered urotmd Gen.

In do ing so, we have to assure you that this is blit a feeble and imperfect modo of conveying the senso of profound respect and deep heart-fell gratitude in wliich your illustrious services and virtues are bold by your fellow-citizens of Louisiana. Mr. Pierce then presented tlio medal and tho Governor's letter. Gen. Taylor replied in a short speech which was delivered with more ease and facility than any of his public oflorts we havo ever heard.

It makes die head dizzy to look at It, and yet it is traversed with as much security as any other bridge of the same width. Wo were present while the workmen ’ were engaged in hanging the planks over the fearful chasm. It looked like a work of P«U, but it was prosocuted with entire safety. Not an accident has happened since the first cord wan carried across the river at the tail of a kite. It is impossible to giva the reader a clear idea of tho work. Imagine a foot bridge, eight knn> dred feet in length, hung in the air at the height of two hundreaand thirty feet, over a vast body , of water rushing through a narrow gorge at tbs rato of thirty miles on hour. If yon are below.it it looks like a atrip of paper suspended hy a cob web. When the wind is strong the frail goraa- incr-looking structure sways to and fro, as if ready to start from its fastenings, and it shaken from extremity to centre under the firm tread of tho pedestrian. Bet there is no danger. Hen pass over it with perfect safety, while the head of the timid looker-on swims with apprehension. We saw tlio first person pass over it—Mr. El- let, the builder. His courageous wife soon fol lowed him, and for two days hundreds, attracted by tlio novelty of the thing, took the fearful jour ney. It is worth a trip to the Falls to see this great work, although it is not probable that one in twen ty will have tho nerve to cross upon it; for strange as it may seem, there were those who had no hes itation to slide ovor tlio awful chasm, in a basket, upon n single wire cable, wiio could not be induc ed to walk over the bridgo. And this aerial ex cursion is thrillingly exciting. A seat on a loco motive, travelling at the rate of sixty miles an hour, is nothing to it. When you mid yourself suspended in tlie air, with the roaring, rushing, boiling Niagara two hundred and fifty feet below you, if your heart do not flutter, yon will have nerve enough to swing over Vesuvius.

One of the most heart-rending calamities that wc have lately lutd to record, occurred about 1 o'clock on Tursday evening last, on the levee op posite the Ursulinc Convent. On Tuesday last a small portion of the levee at that spot gave way and sunk, and some fears were entertained at the time that a larger portion would soon break off. On tho evening we havo spoken of, some men were engaged in driving pickets down at the place where tlio hank had given way in order to prevent the levee from further wearing away by the action of tho water. Some fifteen or twenty poisons, who resided near the placo were gathered on the bank, viewing tlie river and the men at work, when about two hundred feet of the levee in length and eighty feet in width suddenly gave way, and without a moment's warning six human beings were inhered Gen. Tavlou’s Genekositv Tho Washing ton correspondent of the N. Y. Journal of Com merce writes— It is provided hy an existing law, that the Pres ident, upon llio conclusion of a treaty, shall dcsig- nulo one Major General who shall go out of the army, and two Brigadier Generals. Tho Hotiso passed a bill repealing this proviso. Mr. Benton ims reported this hill witlian amendment, suspend ing tlie proviso till tlio 1th of March, so as to re lieve Mr. Polk from tlie duly. He proposes to provide nlso that no vacancy shall lie filled in the menu lime. Either Gen. Scott, or Gen. Tnylor must, therefore, lie designated on the 4th of March, hy tho President inaugurated on that day, to go out of Ute Army. Qcn.

The scene is described by those who witnessed it to have been the most heart-rend ing they ever looked upon. We have learned tbs names of only six persons, as yet who were drowned, but it is asserted that others who at pro- sent arc not known were lost. The names ofdM victims, as wo Itavo learned them, are Mrs. Hypo- lino Troump, and child, about eight months aid; Fanny Troump, aged nineyears; Louise Troump, aged seven years; Felix Troump, aged twenty- four years; Miss Charlotte Dezire ana Mr. Fran cois Andry. The latter gentleman arrived upon the spot but a few moments before the scctdant occurred, and having tied hfe horse to a capstan on the levee, had riven some directions to tbe men who were at work, and had started to come out in tho road, when ho went down, as also did his hor se, Of the five men who were at work driving pickets, four of them escaped; Felix Troump be ing tho only one who was drowned.

It is a venerahlo wood built structure, two stories in height, bearing numerous evidences of its anti- hulty, and wc believe was crectod in 1193.
