A SNAKE REJECTED.

On Thursday last, little boy, son of
Mr.. Lofland, residing at Frankfort, Pa,
was seized with violent fetching, aud in u
few minutes forced up a snake. The child
had been sick for nearly two yeers, and for
the best part Of that time was under the
care Of a physician. Every effort TO re.
store the little fellow to health failed. The
snake rs about six inches long, and covered
with black scales, and has been preserved.

GENERAL TAYLOR. This officer has so far
conducted his military operations with skill,
prudence and bravery, which deserved and
have received the highest commentator, not
only of the President and Congress, but the
people at large. fine did not begin, we think
that he has probably finished, the war against
Mexico-and that too, in manner which has
covered himself and army with glory. The
last accounts from the seat Of war left him
marching upon Matamoras, which has no doubt
fallen into his hands, and probably without
blow having been struck in its defence. And
here, we anticipate, will be virtual termination
of the war; for the Mexicans have had sad ex-
perience Of their inability to sustain them
selves against our forces, and it is not likely
that Paroles will be able to reorganize his de-
feated army so as make battle again, especially
as General Taylor's command has been so
largely reinforced, and is still receiving Access
sions Our army will probably rest at Mata-
moras for the present and will not, possibly,
have occasion to march further upon Mexican
territory, as a revolution in Mexico, or the act
of the existing Government, will probably
render it unnecessary to continue hostillties.-
At all events, General Taylor ought not to
proceed farther until he shall have been so re-
inforced as to render victory certain wherever
he may march. We have no doubt that, in
taking possession of Matamoras he has caused
private citizens to be treated with humanity
and respect, which will make an impression ia
vorable to the United States. The truly brave
in battle are always humane in victory, and
such is the character borne by General Taylor.
We sincerely hope, that the Mexican Gov
eminent will at once seek an armistice, and
prepare for a Just treaty. But, if Paroles be
still continued in power, and be obstinately re-
solved to continue the war, we must have such
a force in the field as will be able to dictate
terms in Mexico. An army ola hundred thou
sand men can be raised if it be necessary; and
with that number Mexico could be overrun.
We had much rather that there shall be no ne
eessty for such proceeding, for we do not
believe that the conquest and annexation of
that country to the Union, would be calculated
to promote the interests, or preserve the dura-
ton, of the confederacy. All that we would
demand Of Mexico is, that she Withdraw her
pretensions to Texas settle the boundary be-
tween the two countries; pay what she owes
us; and live quiet, peaceable neighbor for the
future. Something by way of indemnity for
war expenses, might, perhaps be added-but
that is matter Of minor Importance.

ASPECT OF THE OREGON QUESTION. We
rejoiced at the passage by Congress, of the re-
solution giving Great Britain notice of our in
tention to discontinue the joint occupancy con-
vention-because we believed, that, as the
said resolution was modified by the Senate, it
would, instead Of producing irritation in Eng
land, be received as an evidence of the desire
OF our government to terminate the existing
controversy amcably, and preserve the rela-
tons of friendship between the two countries:
and such is the Interpretation given to it by the
London Times. 1t is received in the spirit in
which we anticipated; and seems to us, that
with the feeling which appears to exist in
England, the Oregon question may be settled
without difficulty, and in the space of few
months. From the tenor of the article in the
Times, we infer that the British government
will make an immediate movement to reopen
negotiations, which we hope will be met on
the part of the authorities of the United States
in becoming spirit. By the action of Con-
gEess we have withdrawn our claim to the
whole of Oregon, aud signifed willingness to
compxamise upon fair and equitable terms--in
facS Eve said to England, that we earnest
ly ~ 10 preserve harmony with you, and
ask nothing at your hands but strict justice. II,
therefore, the English government be inAu-
enced by the same principle, there will be no
difficulty in the way of an adjustment, and we
shall be happily rid of this troublesome and
threatening dispute. The present aspect ofthe
question is entirely favorable; and nothing but
gross error in negotiation, or wonton trifing
with the peace and happiness of the two ma
tons, can prevent this matter from being
brought 10 speedy and acceptable close. The
work should be Immediately commenced for
the present is probably the most suspicious
moment which could be chosen. To delay an
arrangement until the joint occupancy shall
have ceased, agreeably to the notice which we
have given, would be to leopard the peace of
the two countries.
We presume that the steamer Great Britain
brought dispatches to our government on the
subject, from our minister in London, and it is
possible that negotiations may be transferred to
the hands of MIR. McLane. The country has
perfect confidence in his integrity and ability;
and we believe the general impression to be,
that it would be the wisest and best course to
confde the business to his care. He is removed
from influences which might operate, disadvan-
tageously at Washington, and would have no
inducement to do any thing inconsistent with
the dignity, honor and prosperity of his coun-
try-no motive to endanger its peace. But
whether the negotiations be conducted at Wash
ington or in London, we trust that the mystf-
cations and chicanery which are usually adop-
ted in diplomacy, will be abandoned, and a
straight forward and honest course be pursued
by both governments.
