The Washington correspondent of the Ralriei
Standard, signing himself" HsIifa.," has in one
Of his late numbers, unWil,ingly essayed an at.
tack upon old Rough and Ready. charging him
a. We understand ii. with Jalelaod in hi. Official
rpOrts. and with oosraydioe. While the whoI,
country Is ringing, no, les with applause Of Gen
Taylor's kill and bravery in the kcld thsn will
praise Of the fairness, imparialitly, ability. and
mOdes,y with which his official reports are written
these diseordant notes from this croakcr in ths
Standard were well calculated TO attract attention,
The Raleigh Register. whose editor's ears wers
first salused, SEEMS 10 be curious To learn the
nature Of the strange animal whirh emits such
sounss. AMI calls upon the editor Of the STANDARD
to give US the name and locsI hahi.aiion Of Il.
author; and well remarks that " he is bold man
who can charge old Zach Taylor with cowarlics
and fllschoOd; and he ought TO be known and
celebrated in his day and generation


This IS certainly serious matter, and one in
which the whole American people fsel = deep In
tercst. We therefore unite with the Register in
the eau upon the editor Of the STANDARD for the
author Of the libel. We suspect il win turn out
10 be some hanger-on Of tho Administration al
Washington, some paid miniOn Of the Executive,
whose eyes have been dazzlcd by the rising .plcn.
dor Of the old hcro's name, and who felt that his
position would bc endangered II the people should
place the honest olj soIdier in tho chair now oc-
cupied by his master. But give US tho name. Mr..
Standard; the public have igh, to il, and they
will hold You responsible il il Is no, forthcoming.
In this case il is 10 be hoped that tho editor will
not adopt his accustomed mode Of meeting dif.
ficuliy. by remaining silent. Let him speak on,
like man, aud show to his readers that he is not
Disposed to endorse or sanction so gross libel
upon Gen. Taylor.
