.ArEcDoTE or GEr. TAyLoa.--A correspon-
dent Of the Providence Transcript. giving an
account Of the latest battle with the Mexicans
says:


s"There was, as you perceive, no chance for
manGuvering--it was hard fighting and go
ahead. Some OF the guns were taken and re-
taken, two or three times. General Arista had
two horses killed under him, and our old hero,
Gen Taylor, was constantly in the thckest Of
the fight Once, when demonstrated with for
stopping at place where the grape shot and
bullets were flying like hail, he said--Well,
they do come pretty thick; let US go on little
farther ahead, and they will all go over u.s."





A QUEsTIoN FOR GEN. MEJA.-A cores
pondent of the Charleston News, who signs
himself z Scissors" makes the following quo
tation from General Mejia's despatch TO Gen.
Paredes:


Taylor alone remains in command; and
as for him, it would be no compliment TO our
countrymen in comparing him with the most
wretched .Merican tailor"


Said correspondent then asks this question !:
II it takes nine .Merican tailors to make man,
how many MEXICAN GENERALS will it take to
make one AMERICAN TAYLOR?


Perhaps Gen. Vega, who was cut out and
basted by our Taylor in the last battle, can an
swer the question.
