pointed Governor of Oregon Territory
on the arrival Of the proper time for
making said appointment, which will
be after the enactment of law for the
establishment there of a territorial gov
lernment. This will be ACCOMPLISHED
before the termination of the present
session, after the ratification Of the
treaty by England shall be officially
made known to the British govern
ment.

foot of our rightful soil should be Civ

Had Linn-Missouri's gallant and
unterrified Senator--lived, he would
have been selected by public acclama-

death one of the best of men and one
of the purest Of patriots ceased to cx-
ist, and Oregon lost her earliest and
ablest offender. The capital of the

The London papers have told US re-
'peatedly Of late, the ply energies
Of this venerable old man were rapidly
and suddenly falling, and their report
is confirmed by London correspond
ent Of the New York Observer, who,
describing public meeting, says:
The cause of all this tumultuous
noise was the entrance of an old man
muilled up in great coat and wearing
a large brown wig, who appeared en-
fecbled and broken by age, & slowly
n ade his way to tie platform through
the dense mass who divided to lei him
pass. II was Daniel O'Connell! The
few Kisses which were heard here and
there when the cheering partly subsid-
ed for an instant, were the signal for
new, and if possible still louder and
more vehement outbursts, which lasted
till the tottoring old man reached the
platform, and bowling respectfully with
his hand on his heart, he sat down.
As soon as the cheering had suhi-
GENTLY subsidized, he commenced speak
ing. The stiffness was perfect. What
a change since | last saw him at Exet-
er Hall! His form, then erect, now
bent together; his voice, whose lively,
rich, and varied tones used to fill every
corner Of that hall, now monotonous
and grave, and withal so low, that
though seated on the platform | was
unable to catch more than half that he
said; his action formerly full of ener-
gy, elasticity and grace-gcne. This
great change has come over him sud-
denly and rapidly. His day is gone by.
Ireland must seek another champion.

The Santa Fe Eapedition.-At
the last accounts from Fort Leaven-
worth, an express had arrived from
Gen. Kearney's army, but without
bringing any news Of special interest.
The Progress of the expedition was
considerably retarded by the bad con-
dition of the horses of which
bad given out. twas understoodthat
Gen. Kearney would halt at Bent's
Fort, for the purpose of recruiting bis
men, and to await the arrival of Col.
Prices regiment. When united, his
whole force will be about 5000 men
"a force sufficient, under ordinary cir
cumsiances, to resist any army which
may be sent TO meet him, and quite
equal to the conquest Of New Mexico,
if no reinforcements are sent into that
department from other districts.

Editorial Correspondence Of the Picayune.
CAMARGo,s Mexico, !
Julv l6. 1916.


The City Of Camargo, or what islef
Of il, stands on the south side OF thu
river San Juan, and three miles oni.
from the Rio Grande. Its populotior
has been as high as 5000; but previous
to la erecienie, as the people call the
recent dreadful flood, it had Fallen
5000, and is now much less even than
that number. Many of the inhabi'
tants, who have lost all will never re.
turn, choosing higher ground in the
vicinity on which to rebuild their ja'
Gales, as their houses or tenaments are
termed
The extent Of the G'eshet, or the
rspidity with which the waters OF the
San Juan rose, has not been exaggera-
ted. In this place alone no less than
eight hundred and sirty houses
among them some of the best houses
were either much injured or totally
destroyed, the frightened inhabitants
flocking to the hills in crowds, when
they saw that the place must inevita-
bly, be inundated. The houses imme-
diately around the Plaza, including the
chnrch and the dwellings of the priest
& alcade, were injured but little, altho'
the water gave even these thorough
soaking To compute the entire loss
sustained by Carnage were impossi-
BILE; il would not amount to as much as
many might suppose for hundreds OF
these houses were of little value; yet
the amount Of suffering, as most of the
people ha, lost their all, has been
frightful.
The only persons who remained in
the place were the few American resi-
dents, who lived in canoes while the
city was under water Nearly OPP
posile where am now writing is n
large mosquit tree, in the top of which
they built roost, which still remains.
The weather here is insupportabIy
hot during the middle Of the day, with
little air stirring,as was the case at Bey-
nosa. On the march from that place
to this the infantry suffered dreadfully,
especially this side of Lagana del Pa
iariiaS or Lake of the little Birds,
there being no water on the road and
the sun pouring bis hottest rays direct
ly upon their backs. Several fell to
the ground exhausted by the heat,while
Others were so much overcome that it
was necessary to give them places in
the forage wagons. Mr.. McCulloch's
Rangers did not suffer TO the same ex-
tent, being all mounted; but this thing
Of campaigning in a southern latitude
during midsummer is not so particular
ly pleasant under any circumstances.

Sir:-The President of the United
States no less anxious TO terminate than
he was to avoid the present unhappy
war with the Mexican Republic, has
determined 10 make an effort TO ac-
complish this purpose. He has accord
ingly instructed the Undersigned, Sec
rotary of State, 10 propose through
your Excellency to the Mexican Gov
ernment, that negotiations shall forth
with commence for the conclusion OF a
peace Just and honorable for both par
ties. Should this offer be received and
responded TO by the Mexican Govern
ment in the same frank and friendly
spirit by which it has been dictated,
he will Immediately dispatch an Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Pleni?o-
Tertiary TO the city of Mexico, with
instructions and full powers TO con
clude treaty of peace which shall adj
Just all the qustions in dispute between
the two Republics, II the Mexican
Government should prefer TO send a
Minister TO Washington TO conduct the
negotiation here, he shall he received
with kindness and respect, and every
effort shat! be made 10 accomplish the
object Of his raission with the least pos
sible delay.
In the present communication 1t Is
deemed useless, aud might prove inju-
rious, to discuss the causes of the ex-
isting war. This might tend TO delay
or defeat the restoration of peace. The
past is already consigned to history
the future, under Providence, is with
in our own power
The occasion may, however, be en-
braced to state that the President ha:
ever cherished the kindest feelings for
Mexico, and that one OF the first wish
es Of his heart is, that she may be a
powerful and prosperous republic, IN
perpetual amity with the U. States.
Commodore Conner will transmit this
despatch for your Exeellency to the
Governor Of Vera Cruz, under n flag
of truce; and you are respectfully invi-
ted to adopt the same channel for COM
municating your answer

fer your ExceIlency the assurance OF
my most distinguished consideration.

n proper ye5uke.-A good anec-
dote is told Of Lieutenant c., while on
board one of our ships of war, which
does equal credit TO his honor aud his
gallantry. A distinguished member of
the japonicadum Of a northern city was
dining on board, with mess of officers,
and when the wine began to circulate
pretty freely, entertained the company
with recital of several amours, of
wifi CHI he was, Of course, the hero. 1t
happened that in one of these he ven
tured to SANDER lady of spotless repu-
tation, an acquaintance OF Lieut.. c.
The gallant officer heard him through
without interruption, and then rising
from the table informed him of his
acquaintance with, and respect for the
lady he had SO wickedly traduced. 90,
don't mind it, Crit, don't mind it," ex-
claimed our hero, "it's all lie, you
know; | only told it to amuse the
mess" Lieut.. G.. very coolly turned
him around, gave him stout kicking,
and followed it up until he had elected
him from the state room, observing
very quietly, don't mind it, -,
don't mind it Pm only doing it For
the amusement Of the mess" A roar
Of laughter followed the Disconnected

Gus shallow inlets and bays, into which
the salt water Of the Gulf flows during

dry, and are covered with crust OF

every respect 10 Turks Island, which
