G|ENp:ral orders-notice to correspondents. 
view of the question by determlnini; that the resignation of Major Taylor should be 
reported to the Government without further note or comment. This we accordingly 
presumed would be the course adopted, but to our great astonishment we have since 
learned, that as soon as ever a majority of signatures had been affixed (we hope nut 
before) in favor of the proposition as it stood in the first circular, the Secretary, at 
the instigation of a single Governor, in breathless haste, despatched a letter in the 
name of the Governors recommending Mr. MacQueen, without even waiting to ascertain 
what the residue of the Governors might have to say on the subject. The consequence 
is, that a letter is now lying before the Government, purporting to be that of a majority 
of the Governors, whereas the majority, on further consideration, have come to a 
totally different determination. We forbear to characterize such a proceeding in the 
terms we think it deserves, and send it forth, to abide the issue of its own demerits, 
generaITorders.
