The item ofS239 900 for the support ofmem-
bers Of Congress and the wild Indians only APP
plies to the part of the session from the 1st Of Ju-
ly to its termination, the sum being about $780,
600. The aggregate expenses Of the session
must have been nearly one million and quarter
of dollars, of which quarter of a million was
for public printing. The addition of the figures
in the table will not produce the result given at
the bottom; because a great number of small
items were left out as not being singy of sufficient
importance to be particularly mentioned. But
this total amount will not vary twenty five thous-
and dollars from the sum of ffiy-one millions,
one hundred and torty.tow thousand, sir huad-
red and tUentytiree dollars and foriy-t four cents
The fact 10 which public attention ought to be
drawn, in connection with the national expcnd-
lures for the present fiscal year, is that nearly
lour-filths Of them are incurred for the purposes
of war; The first eight of those items, as will be
seen, are carried out and amount to a fraction
less than forty millions of dollars, and nobody
supposes that this will cover half the military ex-
penses ofthe year. Say fifteen millions of this
vast amount would have been required in time
OF peace, and when no questions of war were in
agitation, there will still remain a balance OF
twenty-five millions to be set down to the account
of the first years war with so feeble an adyersa-
ry as Mexico.-Ciereland Herald.

SHOCKING CALAMITY .-Serenteen LireS

eTal of tie men, who, entirely forgot them
selves, suddenly rose up, and the boat i'm
medlately upset. A terrible scene ensued.
Some OF the men were able to swim. and
endeavored to save themselves, bnt were
grappled ov others, and thus sunk beneath
the waves. SIX men only out of the mum.
Der succeeded in clinging to the boat until
assistance arrived. So fearful loss of life
has hardly ever occurred on the ST Law
renee, the scene Of so mpny violent deaths
by drowning.
Most of the men were married, and, as the
awful news spread through the town, the
screams and shrieks Of The women as they
rushed, many of them with children in
their arms, through the streets to the wa
ter's side, were terrible 10 hear; and their
piercing lamentations were kept up lbrough

On one family the dreadful blow has
fallen with peculiar severely. FIVE of them

laid down dead before the agonized wife

dead. Altogether there are fourteen wo>
men made widows, and seven children left

rTON'S DISPATCHES

THE PRINCETONS DESPAICHES-
PEACE OVERTURES NOT REJECTED.
am this morning enabled 10 communi-
cate 10 you from an official source, a con-
imaton of the doubts you have heretofore
expressed in relation 10 the report of the
rejection by the Mexican Government of
the peace overtures transmitted by Mr. Ha-
bersham. The despatches received 10y the
President, brought by the Princeton, COM
municate no such unfortunate result. On
the contrary, the American overtues were
received with ANYTHING but dsfavor by the
Mexican authorities, nor do tlley interpose
any obstacle 10 the continued prosecution
and the favorable ssue of negotiations be-
tween the two governments.
The Mexican Secretary of state, Rejon,
says the proposals of our government will
be referred to Congress, tor that body to de
termine upon their acceptance, rejection or
modification. Nor does ii appear that the
presence of american forces in the terrific
ry and haibors of the Mexicans, will form
any lnsurmountable obstacle either 10 the
acceptance Of the Presidents overtures, or
to their favorable consideration by Santa
Ana and his associates in power.
Inrhe meantime, Gen. Taylor will .follow
up bis ADVANCE into the Mexican territory,
protecting, rather than injuring the peacea-
bic inhabitants, and preventing all violence
upon the persons. or encroachmenls upon
the private property of the people. 1t is

rious resistance, or he obliged TO fight at

concentration there of large Mexican force
