The Administration have determined to call
out more troops. Ten regiments will be imme-
diately called for, to be enlisted as volunteers
for the whole of the war.
Fifty thousand men, engaged for the
war, as volunteers will soon be in the field,
under the act of last May. This force will BE
in addition to the increase of the army also au-
thorized by act of the last session.
The Governments, though holding out sort
ola flag of truce, does not intend to make peace
The idea is to take possession of all Mexico, or
as much of it as possible. The next step is to
propose the creation of the Office of Lieutendat
General of the army, superseding thus Scott
and Taylor in military command.
Who do you supposed the redouble 1t. Gen
eral is to be Thomas Hart Benton, and no.
body else. That thing is fixed by the acqui-
escene of Mr.. Benton In the measures of the
Administration, and his promise to support it,
Colonel-that is to say Lieut. General Ben
ton is to be the candidate for the. successorsbip
| to the Presidency, but giving Mr.. Polk the
most unfortunate one. 'Oh," said a Southern
Democratic member to me to-day, sob, that
the office of General Washington should ever be
held, by Tom Benton
When this thing shall indeed come about we
shall hear an opposition, such in strength and
vehemence, and '.moral treason," and devotion
to the best interests of the country, as Mr.. Polk
has not yet dreamed of. Mr.. Polk is al
ready struck with surprise at finding that his
denunciation of all opponents in his message
has served to unite them as one man.
The rumors as to Santa Annals movements
and his correspondence with Taylor do not i'm
press the Government with the belief that Mex
leo will make peace. On the contrary, heard
to-day, that the President and the Secretary of
War believes that Santa Anna is preparing for
our forces snare,
