The OCCUPArIoN OF New MExIco.-
The Washington Union. in speaking of
the occupation of New Mexico by General
kearney, has the following speculatons in
regard TO the nature of lis occupation, and
the proceedings which will be proper un-
der ii:
"The gratifying intelligence Of this i'm
porlant movement having been crowned
with success, without bloodShed, seems TO
have been received by the country with de
light. What General Kearney's instruc.
lions are, we do not know. 1t is not 10 5e
expected that such orders should reach the
publ c enemy by public lions here, penning
the military operations. We presume thai
he has exercised no right which does not
belong 10 bell gerents. General kear
uey's successful occupation Of the enemy's
country no: only justified, but required that
tie Mexcan government should be super
seeded. The continued discharge OF these
functions by Mexican authorities, unfriend-
" 10 the United States, under such c,rcum
stances, would be something new in the
prosecution OF war.
The proyis onaI government subatitu,
led is necessarily temporary, limited by
the military occupation Of the country; and
The destination o! the country Itself depen-
dent on the ultima settlement, to be con
summated by treaty of peace, to be duly
ratified by The constitutional authority Of
this county. The infusion Of democratic
pr ucipIes in the selection OF the agents to
administer this provisional government is
wisely adopted. but seems TO lie very d.s-
taste, uI 10 the friends Of Mexico.

"good hard knocks " He says this cuss
are all IN favor Of the prosecution of the
war although everything in the country
indicates weakness The clergy plead
poverty" he says; the merchants have
nothing 10 do but talk politics; numbers Of
houses, both here and in the c. y Of
Mexico, have f2 led, clerks are idle, and
the sutftrIngs among the lower and mid
ding classes are very great, bun notwi,h,
sanding all this they INSIST upon the war

Speaking OF Santa Annals arrival at
Vera Cruz, he says he was particularly cool
with foreigners. and rs thought especially
so with The English" This cooloess, so
marked towards the English residents, oar

by tie belief on the part o! Santa Anna,

that she reciprocates my love, and she is the

"Always excepting my sweet cousin, the flu

Churchill smiled too, for he saw his friend

Benson his bride.''
"And can say the same of sweet, loveable
Margaret, who is an angel, if such things be

you ON the possession of such treasure, and

could not venture to say what her friends
sentiments respecting you were. But now
must go to acquaint dear Clara with the news"
When Mr.. Benson came back to dinner he
said,

she looked as sultry as a thunder cloud. That
girl will bring an action of breach of promise
against you yet"
"Why, never went there but three or four
times, and then only because you insisted |
