THE WAR.

According to the Washington Union,
Mexico has refused to do any thing about a
peace, until the new Congress couvenes, and
in the meantime is making every prepare
ton for the worst. Santa Ana does not vet
appear TO have visited Mexico, and il is in
timated that he has not the confidence of a
large portion of the class he must look up
to. The recent DEGREES Of the Government
declare all Mexicans between the ages of Is
and so liable to take up arms, and declare
free OF duty all munitions of war.-3O,O0
meG have bsen ordered as cOntinsents from
the several States-all officers refusing to
be dismissed from employments, &c. In
the orders to Ampndia defending Monterey,
the Government contemplated an easy victo-
ny over Taylor, and the destruction of his
army. This would have probably been the
consequence Of failing entirely before Mon
terey. This Rough and Ready doubtless

The Bill remodeling the Judiciary system
of The State was taken Up, and the amend

Messrs Harrington and Kimball opposed
The bill. because they were inclined 10 think
that The present judges, with suitable ar
range of the sessions Of the Count, might
accomplish all the necessary business, and
that further reduction of the bench 10 It's
present number, would, on account Of perso-
nal and other considerations, be exceedingly
difficult 10 effect.
Messrs. Villas, Burton, Smith and Foster,
supported the bill at some length, upon the
grounds that it had been conclusively dem
onstraIed before the committee, not only by
some of the present Judges, but also by Ex-
Judges who had no iDterest in The matter,
| that the present bench required temporary
reinforcement in oider TO accomplish the
great press Of business wqich had aecumula-
ted in the larger counties of the State, and
that the interests of lawyers should yield to
the rights Of suitors by exempting the latter
from the expense and delay incident to the

ONO. The news by the mails Of yesrcr

OF the late election in Ohio. The Wing
success in that State, is only exceeded by
the unparalleled triumph in Pennsylvania
The success in Ohio is mostly perceivablt
upon the vote for members or Congress ana

DAGUERROTYPE MINIATURES.

To the lovers OF the liberal arts, as well as
10 the lovers of their own phizzes, we would
say, call upon Ma. BALDWIN at his rooms in
Nichols Building, ifyou wish to see the
finest specimens of the Photographic art ever
exhibited in this vicinity. For clearness of
outline, symmetry of Development, aud elo-
gance Of execution, the old Sun, in these
pictures, shows himself equal to the best line
engraVers in the country. Under The pupil
age Of Mr.. Baldwin, he has arrived at length
TO a capabiliIy of delineation equal to any
face, however beautiful, or to any phiz. how
ever ugly: indeed, from some specimens we
have seen, we think the Sun is 'leetle
ahead of Nature herself. Call and see, AT
No., Nichols Building, up stairs, where
the artist will remain few days.

THE RAIL ROAD.

The result Of the meeting Of the stockhold-
ers ofrhe Fitchburg road as related in the
Courier, reverses all our fond anlicipaiions
The assurances Of unhesiiaing aid 10 our
road from this quarter seemed 10 be from
the most reliable sources. five have been
mistaken so have the directors and others
who have had the best means Of information
upon the subject Indeed il is well known
that the Cheshire people are uniformly in
favor of the Rutaad. From the account of
the meeting in Boston ii is equally evident
that The Rutland road is Il favoriIe with a
majority Of the stockholders of the Fitch
burg. Fit is otherwise with a majority of
the stock II is because a few great stockhsld-
ers whose interests are now deeply identified
with the success Of the Central road have
acquired an undue ascendency in the conn
ellis of the company. No matter for the &c
miles greater distance or the millions more
necessary for the construction of the Central
over the Rutland, and the certainty that 4
great portion Of the business OF the Central
will be done over The Concord, these men
have decided that the Central must be built
and the Rutland crushed. There is still
some reason to hope that the good sense Of
the great body Of the stockholders of the
Fitchburg road will prevail against the folly
and desperation of the capitalists. We have
been informed that after the mceiing strong
assurances were given by the friends Of the
Rutland that an attempt would be made 10
raise handsome subscription.
But il our relances for aid from the Fitch
burg are TO prove falIacious it is well that
they have Illus early been exposed. The de-
velopment has been made just in season 10
profit by the splendid offers made us ny the
southern rail roads We feel as sure as ever
that rail road will eventually be bniIt
through Western Vermont Nor is it at all
certain that it will not be completed at as
early day as the Central which we again
repeat is among the most difficult and expen-
sivc roads ever projected in New England.

RAIL ROAD MEETING.

RUTLAND RAILROAD AND FircHBURC
RAILROAD. Yesterday there was very
large meeting of The stockholders of thu
Filchburg Railroad, al the Tremon, Ten
pie, in this CITY, which was called AT the re
quest of between fifty and sixty of ihcir mum
her, 10 consider proposition for aiding anC
encouraging the Lake Champlain AM Con
necttcut River Railroad, Rutland Route.
There was great animation and some
very tart speeches on the occasion. Mr.
Nathan Rice. spoke over two hours in the
forenoon, giving history OF the connexiou
which was brought about last year with the
Central Railroad, montpelier route, and
complaining Of the measures which were
taken 10 that end.
There was also quite an amusing discus.
sion between the rival engineers Messrs
Gilbert of the Rutland and FELTON, of tbs
Montpelier rout, s, respecting the cost and
labor OF making the Two proposed roads,
Mr.. Hoar of Concord replied TO Mr.. Rice
in speech full Of sarcasm, and not little
personal i'll lis tenor.
In the afternoon, committee of seven re-
ported resolutions Of sympathy for The Rut-
land Road, and pledging The Fiichburg Cor
poraiion TO receive The business of The Rut-
land Road when completed, on as favorable
terms as those granted TO any other Compa
ny. This report was accepted unanimously.
Mr. William F. Weld then moved that the
same committee be requested 10 solicit sub
Scorpions in aid of the Rutland Road 10 the
extent of $4,000. On this motion there
was considerable discussion, aud it was car
ried by hand VOTE by large majority. But
Mr.. Belknap of Windsor, VT, doubted the
decision oil the chair declaring the motion
carried, and called for and insisted upon
stock vote.
A ballot was accordingly taken, 512O
shares being represented, which resulted as
lollows:-
In favor of the motion, 1853
Against it, 1867
So the motion was rejected.
Several gentlemen addressed The meeting.
and one from Vermont stated, after the bal
lot was declared, that this was the last time
any attempt would be made 10 obtain aid
from the citizens OF Boston, towards bringing
the business oil Western Vermont in that d.
rection. He stated that there was another
route which would probably be Tried, and he
hoped, with success. He probably alluded
TO a conjunction with the Western Railroad
via North Adams and Phtsfed.
The meeting then adjourued.-Boston
