Resignation Of Mr.. WOODBURY.
A letter from Washington. publish
ed in tae Courier and Enquirer, says
Il know not whether the whitening
facts disclosed by Il. NJ. Whitney
as to the causes Of the presen. der.
anged state of the currency, has fri.
ghtned the secretary of the treasury,
or that he has become at last consci.
Gus of his utter inability to admins.
ter that department correctly, butho
has certainly announced to his con.
fidential friends his intention ofre.
firing in the spring to his home in the
Granite state, where he intends TO
remain alooffrom tho politics of the
day. 1t is indeed to be regretted
thatso wise and prudent step should
not have been determined on before
tie awful catastrophe brought onby
his mismanagemen. and that ofhi'
political compeers should have been
so fully developed.
War-War!-We cut the annex.

Bulletin of the 18th inst. The other
city papers contain similar allusious.
Can it be that we are on the eve Of
wars with Mexico? The movements
are suspicious.-GrWndG ut Adrr.
MEx1co-The hurried departure
Of a courier extraordinary from the
Mexican minister at Washington 10
his own court, has given rise to no
little surmise and suspicion.-Some
conjecture that the attitude OF THO
two republics was rather threatnlng'
and that this messenger was despa'
ched to warn Mexico, ofthe approa'
ching storm. The real facts Of the
case will probably be brought BY 'ne
next mail.
