Extract ot letter 10 the Editor, from JoHN ;. RoANK, commanding the Arkansas regiment of Y Volunteer Cavalry, dated

 s'CAMP ENcANTADA, MExico,l

 "l6ih May, lS17.

 From all that we eau learn from the states, Gen. Taylor seems to be the Napoleon of the day. But, should Scott take the city of Mexico, {as have no doub, he has }, he will eclipse Taylor to some extent l do not think Gen. Wool gets as much credit for his conduct in the battle of Buena Vista as he deserves, whilst others are gloriied for deeds oi noble daring of which they knew noth- ing.

As strange as il may appear, i, is no less strange thaa true. that the reputation of this regiment has suffered more at the hands of AIkansians, than from ihe world besides.- II our indignation IS so great against those who have no identity or community of n- terests or feeling with us, or Arkansas, wha, must be the disgust and loalhing fel, by every True Arkansian Tor those amongst us, who so far outstrip all others in their fiendish work of defamation

 Gan you say. with clear conscience. that your valuable paper has not been made the instrumen, by which some of these ef- iusions found their way 10 the world

 sBnl t has gone 10 the world, that ,ee
