Removal of Gen. Taylor's Remains to Kentucky.--We learn by the letter from our Washington correspondent, which reached us last night, that on the 21st inst., the Senate voted an appropriation of four thousand dollars for the purpose of removing the remains of Gen. Taylor from the Congressional burying ground at Washington to the State of Kentucky. Our correspondent further states that the removal will be made between the 1st and 15th of October, and that it is the wish of Mrs. Taylor and her children that it should be done in as quiet and unostentatious a manner as possible, and without anything like a public demonstration: The body will probably be brought out under the special charge of Col. Joseph Taylor, brother of the deceased.
