GENERAL TAYLoR.-In the !" Banner'' of the 18th ulto. an article was copied from the "Arkansas Intelligencer,' severely censuring the conduct of General Taylor. The follow ing retraction, of the charges then made, ap- pears in the 'sIntelligeneer' of the 25th ulto. We gladly give place to it:

 g. Gen. Z. Tayzor.-In our number of the 11th inst. we stated that Mr. Wore applied to the commanding General at Fort Smith, for command to < aid him in capturing the murderers of his parents" and that said re- quest was refused him. Also, that Gen. Tay- Tor .stook some 10 or l2 men to guard his per- son from Fort Smith to Fort Gibson.''

 It is not our intention to abuse the mind of the public, or our wish to do injustice to a gallant soldier; we, therefore, most cheer fully correct our statements as above.

 Mr. Wore did not apply to the commanding General at Fort Smith for assistance. He made the application at Fort Gibson, and he was refused. and referred to the commanding General at Fort Smith. Our informant was mistaken respecting the Fort where the ap- pllcatlon was made.

 We are informed, and have no reason to doubt it, that Gen. Taylor did not take 10 or l2 men to guard his person to Fort Gibson. The guard was to protect Major Hunter, the Paymaster, and his funds The General merely went in company with the Major.

 In all our statements respecting the public functionaries and others, we shall confne ourselves strictly within the bounds of truth. We stand ready, at all times, to be corrected when we err.

 Those editors. who published our article respecting Gen. Taylor, are requested to give this an insertion.
