The WAR. Notwithstanding the last &C
counts from Mexico state, that the most vigo-
rous measures are being taken to prosecute the
war against the United States, still we doubt
whether another battle will be fought, unless
our fleet should undertake to lombard the Cas-
tie of San Juan de Ulua which we do not be-
lteve will be done, as it would produce an un-
necessary loss of life. The arbitrary measures
which the Mexican government will be COM
peled to resort TO, in order TO obtain funds and
TO organize force, will, in all probability, pro-
duce revolution which will result in the re-
establishment of peace. 1t is impossible that
Mexico can hope, single handed, to Withstand
the power of the United States; and hence we
inier, that, whatever preparations she may be
making to continue the war; she will be re.
joiced to seize the first opportunity to conclude
peace.
We are pleased to observe, that General
Taylor has caused the persons and property of
the people Of Matamoras to be respected; and
that nothing shall be taken by those under his
command, for which full price shall not have
been paid. Such conduct tends to diminish the
horrors Of war, and will do much to impress
the people Of Mexico with favorable feelings
towards the United States, and to dsincline
them to continue hostiities. In every trans
action General Taylor has conducted himself
in the most honorable manner-and has distn-
guished his career not only by bravery and tai
lent, but by the observance Of the principles of
humanity towards the foe.
1t our firm conviction, as we have already
said, that Mexico will not continue the war.
The army upon which she mainly relied, it is
seen, has retired discounted from the scene of
action; nor is it likely that it can be readily
brought again into contact with our forces. This
army may prove more dangerous to the power
of Paroles than TO the United States; but should
it, contrary 10 our authorizations, stand firm for
the existing government-and should every of
fort b. made by Paroles to raise additional for
ces, all will but the moro clearly demonstrate
the fruitlessuess Of continuing the war: for it
alll be out Of the question for any army that
can be in Mexico to resist the march of the |
troops which the United States can pour into
that country. Humanity and policy should
admonish Mexico of the folly of continuing the
war; for the destruction of life must be great,
aud the danger still greater of her losing her
national existence. We do not think that the |
evils and psnls Of the contest can escape the
attention of her rulers, or fail to impress them
with the necessity of concluding it at the first
favorable moment. On our part we should be
prepared to meet cordially the first advance
which may be made by Mexico, towards re-
storing peace. Asking nothing but justice
and the observance of the usages of civilized
nations from Mexico, we can have no motive
to protract the war moment after she shall
have consented to grant our demands.

FATAL AFFRAY.-.a BaliinoreGn Shot! We
regret to learn from the Louisville papers, 'that
Mr. Meredith, Sante Fee trader, formerly Of
Baltmo re- was shot through the heart by DR.,
Harper at Liberty, Missouri, last week"
We received no St. LOUIS papers last night,
and have no particulars of the sad event refer
red to by the Louisville papers. Mr.. Meredith,
who was shot, is, we believe, son of Jonathan
Meredith, esq of this city, and left here recently,
in company with several others, on tour of
observation and pleasure through portion of
Santa Fe. lie was young gentleman highly
esteemed by large circle offriends, by whom
his untimely death will be deeply lamcnted.
Since the above was in type, we have come
across the following paragraph in a Cincinnati
paper:
.7lcftl Murder The St. Louis Reporter of
June J. learns from a gentleman who came
passenger on the Missouri Mail, from Indcpen-
dence, that an awful murder was perpetrated
in that town on the morning of Wednesday
May 9th. DR.. Harper, who is the son-in-law
offs. G.. Owens, a merchant of independence,
invited gentleman, recently from Baltimore,
llllO HIS w ulIllCullH arose,
in the course of which, Harper drew pistol,
and shot his visitor through the heart. At last
accounts the assassin was under examination.
DAMAGES. In the New York Superior
Court on Friday evening, c. Edwards Lester,
Esq, obtained verdict for $500 damages
against one of the Smith family, for an assault
and battery committed on board the ship Brook
Ign, on a late passage from Europe.
A COMPLIMENT. The London Standard,
speaking of manufactures, says that nearly all
the recent mechanical contrivances introduced
into our factories, for dispensing with human
labor, are of American invention.

DEATH OF ALANsoN TAYLOR, EsQ. We are
panied to announce the death of Alanson Tay.
lor, Esq, manager of the Baltimore Museum
after All illness of some three mouths. Mr..
Taylor had been i'll in this city, but had sufi-
GENTLY recovered to proceed to Bethel Con.
necticut, his native village, where his friends
were sangune enough to hope that he would
ultimately recover, but an inscrutable Provi-
dence had otherwise ordered it, and he died on
Friday last, the 5th inst. The deceased during
his short residence in this city had gained an
eHviable reputation, and in his management OF
the Museum was most happy, receiving the APP
probation of every person who visited that a
greeable resort. His demise while yet in the
vigor of manhood, has cast gloom over a large
circle of friends and acquaintances. In conse-
quence of his death there was no performance
at the Saloon of the Museum last evening, and
the establishment was closed.

PENSACOLA ZOlh May, 1916.
You will readily suppose the cause of our de-
parture from Vera Cruz for the Rio Grande,
where we have been since operating with the
army. The Mexican army, reduced from Ia
900 to HOO men, the capture of Barita and
Matamoras, with all their stores and munitions,
and the flight of Arista, has LETT US time to pur-
sue our original plans of warfare. Divisions,
therefore, of the squadron have been sent off,
and before this, the enemy's ports are all block

so deluded. was in the Barita Expedition,
the inhabitants ofwhich place seem glad enough
to have that protection extended to them from

bring us tidings of a revolution, oyerthrowinp

tain. Mexico can never raise such an army as
the one we recently encountered.
Gen. Taylor has been solicited by Arista for
a cessation of hostilites, preparatory to the ar.
rangement of final terms ofpeace, and General
Taylor replied, that six hours would be allow
ed him to evacuate Matamoras; there was mn
lack of hurry when he received the replv bav.

not cross the river. think, from all appear
ances, that the war cannot last over two O,
three months.
We shall probably sail, as soon as we are
provisioned, for Vera Cruz;-but doubt if anv
attack will be made on the Castle, as they have
prepared 1t SO we'll for defence; and if their
practice should be equal to the fire against Gen
Taylor's camp, they would sink the whole of
our navy. When the French attacked the
Castle, there were only twenty-five guns of
small calIbre at the point of attack; they have
now over two hundred pieces, thirteen mortars
and Paixhan guns in quantities, on new batter
les at the same point; and one of our Engineer
officers says, that if they were served we'll, no

THE ABoLIrGoNIsTs. The convention of
abolitionists in Boston, have denounced the
Governor of Massachusetts, for his proclama-
ton issued in obedience TO the requisition of
the War Department. They speak of him Gas
perjured on his own principles, as traitor by
his own showing, and one before whose guilt
that infamy of Arnold, and of the traitors in
! the Missouri compromise, becomes respectable
ty and dGCency, since, under oath to support
tho Constitution of the United States, he calls
OH the Commonwealth to rally to a war which
is waged to defend and protect an act Uhe an
nexatlon of Texas which he has himself so
often declared ga violation of the Constitution
equivalent to dissolution"-a triumph of sla-
very and despotism to which it would be
the basest calumny to suppose that Massachu.
sets would ever submit; and that we call upon
the people to forget them as emphatically as
they did Mason, of Boston, and Shaw, of Lanes
borough, for their treason in 1902
These abohtionists:are mOnomaniacs on the
subject of slavery; and it is unfortunate that
they inflct serious injury the objects of their
compassion. They opposed the annexation of
Texas upon their Zone idea," and they de-
nounce Governor Briggs because he will not
follow in their footsteps, disregarding the obi
cations of his oath of Office. We presume
that they consider all persons as traitors who
opposed the annexation of Texas and yet sup
port the war with Mexico. So narrow and
contracted is their view fduty to their coun-
try, that they cannot see that a man may con-
sistently oppose the adoption of measure by
Government and yet support it when it has
become the law of the land. Governor Briggs
has discharged his duty as an honest and con.
scientious man, and will receive the approba.
