MEXICO, AND THE UNITED

The news from the south induce the be-
lief that we are on the eve-of & warwlih
Mexico. Indeed, from indications not to
be misunderstood, we think, that ere This,
war may have been declared. There Is
only one thing to prevent war with MeXi-
90, and that is, the shattered condition OF
her financial affairs. She has popuIa-
ton short Of seven millions, about tone
million Of which can be brought into the
field The Presidential election between
General Herrera, the present provisional
President, and hisopponent, whose name
we don't now remember, was to have
come off on the first August inst. Herre-
ra is in favor of CenraIism and a strong
Judgement of power in The President,
whilsthis opponent favors principles more
liberal, What effect the result of the cleo
ton may have in continuing or breaking
up the amicable relations Of Mexico and
the United States, we csnnot say. We
would dread the hostile incursions Of the
Camanche and other warIke Tribes In
dams full as much as the Mexicans. Our
Government, by violation Of treaty stipu-
lations with some Of the indians within the
limits OF our own States, built up q formi-
dable foe on our western frontier. Colo
nizing the numereus tribes OF Aborigines
and placing them inrcose conrexion with
the Eed men Of the toresta0n the confines
of Texas, as has been done, has surely put
1t in the power Of Mexico to incite them
to hostile operations against us. ina foe

In the Journal of Tuesday last. in the

ged that the State debt had been tin
creased enormously during the predom-

not only TO prevent the further increase
of this debt but 10 provide Tor sustaining
the credit Of the State, &c. The States

Atan election for Directors of the Compa

wit: David Beggs, Leonard Hanna, Fish
er A. BIocksom, B. W. Snodgrass, R,
.Pritchard, r.. S. McKaig, and Levi iaIdef-
man.
The board has since organized by elect
ing David Beggs, President, and Charles
ID. Hestener, Secretary and Treasurer.-
The selections are good. When we were
at Court, at New Lisbon last week, we
were informed that the entire eastern d.
vision, from New Lisbon TO the Ohio river,
is let, and also, the,deop cuts and the big
and little tunnels on ghe middle division,
on terms much below the estimates.
That part Of the western division from
the Ohio Canal, at Bolivar, to Waynes-
burgh, will be ready for Iettingon the first
of September.
The remaining part Of the,western divi-
sion will he letin the spring. We also
are informed thotthe entire eastern divi-
sion, from New Lisbon TO tie Ohio river,
will be completed and the boats running in
one year from this time; and most likely,
from Waynesburgh to the Ohio Canal, and
that the entire line Of Canal from Povar
to the Ohio river will be completed in two
years.
The sum ofone million three hundred

qusle amount Of stock necessary 10 have
the work 70 on, the editor and publisher
of this paper, each, took one share ofthe
stock. The work has our best wishes, and
we risk nothing when we say that the
entire landed estate Of Carroll county, will
be increased fromteato 10 toenty percent. on
It's completion.
What effect the completion Of the Canal
may have on our own town ofCarollton
we cannot say with certainty, though this
much we do know, and will now say chat,
if a RdiL-rOad was erected from here TO
some point ON the Canal, a distance Of
about cteUcn miles, that CawoIiton would
become the Depot Of ell the produce from

vicinity of New jefferson, in IEanson
county. We are informed by those who
know, that about t,OeHy-eigh or thirty
thousand dollars would make the road.
Viewing, as we do, the great impor-
tance Of such work, we have no doubt
the town and surrounding country would
take the stock and complete it,
We will take occasion to speak more Of
