The Progress Of the War.

The most important questions IN every
circle at present are "How will the gov
crnment carry on the WARP "Will ii at
tempt to march overland to the Capitol,
or proceed to capture the frontier and
coast towns, continue to blockade all the
ports, and pcrchance batter down St Ju-
an D'Ulloa, and thus open a gate TO the
Halls of the Montezumas!" These ques-
tons, we repeat, are being discussed and
agitated in all circles, and It's is roundly
asserted by many to be almost, if notqulte,
an impossibility for an American army to
reach the city Of Mexico, over land, from
the Rio Grande, should that be the inten-
ton of Government.
The Charleston Patriot, in the course
ol an interesting article upon the subject
of conquest, furnishes these hints:-"To
traverse the territories of Mexico, In ap-
preaching the Capital, would be a work of
immense difficulty for an invading army,
and its very size would be one ofits great
est difficulties. To provision such an ar
my along the route, unless you have an
immense cavalry, and In the teeth of an
excellent and numerous cavalry, would be
scarcely possible. We must not forget
that Mexico is, strictly speaking, a noun
famous country throughout. It's roads
are mostly foot paths, pursuing gorges in
the mountains which the heavy rains
have followed out. In the table land
contiguous, lives the RANcHERo. Over
these gorges he hangs; in the hollows of
the hills he turks, ready to launch out, at
the signal, and dart with the rapidity of
the vulture upon the victim whom he sees.
Our course, during the present war r,shonld
be first to close all the ports of Mexi-
co, at once, by simultaneous blockade;-
this would be more likely to bring her to
terms than any thing else. 1t would be
the only process by which to bring 10
terms the sixty thousand foreigners with
in her territories, most of whom have bu-
sled themselves i'll fomenting the hostility
OF the Mexicans against our people
These people, cut off from a profitable
trade, would at once come to their senses.
The Ministers, and Consuls Of foreign
nations would soon bestir themselves to
bring about an accommodation. England
and France alone, have some thirty-six
millions of trade annually at stake in Mex
leo, an amount qnite too great to forfeit in
the philanthropic policy of keeping up
bad blood between the countries now sep
Grated by the Rio Grande. The conquest
of Mexico is to be effected by gradual
colonization. Let Matamoras be occupi-
ed by an armed population of Americans
as soon as taken. Do likewise with SAM
ia Fe, where ii would be easy to convince
the people that we should be better friends
and neighbors than those they have been
accustomed to. Ii Vera Cruz is bolnbar-
ded and taken, let our Government invite
settlers. by large bounties of land, 10 take
possession, and the fear of uonifo would
be no terror 10 natives OF the cities along
