Gen Taylor Letter Reveals Washington Intrigues and Polk's Politics
From the New York Express, an extract on Gen. Taylor accuses Whig presses and administration circles of orchestrating a campaign to supplant him with Gen. Scott. It notes polemics over Taylor’s actions at the Rio Grande, and hints political motives tied to the 1844 presidential contest. The Baton Rouge sash anecdote and other war-era items follow in a broad Atlantic-News style, with remarks on Monterey, Palo Alto, and Santa Anna.

Unruly unwashed sailor sparks shipboard chaos
A tall Alabama volunteer aboard the steamer Alabama creates a comic crisis while washing with turpentine soap. As the wash water runs out and his hair soaks up tarlike residue, he frantically salutes with a Bowie knife after accusing others of trickery. The episode ends with mounting rage and a chaotic scene at sea.
