selection OF officers, chosen 10 preside over its
interests the ensuing year. A law was adopted
on Tuesday evening changing the term Of office
in Subordinate Lodges from three 10 si1 months.
This is most important measure, and will, we
think, be attended with beneficial results 10 The
Order resolution 10 reScind the resolution OF
last session in relation TO ladies cards was
indefinitely postponed by large majority
From the annual report Of the Grand and Subor-
dlnate Lodges, we observe that during the past

OUR POLICY CHANGED.

The Washington Union, whose announce.
ments are generally considered official, in
he course Of an editorial article makes the
following important announcement-by
which 1t will be seen that, tor the future,
The Mexicans are to be made TO support our
army:
ave offered the olive branch. Instead
Of promptly accepting it, Mexico declines
even to give US an answer. whether she will
or will not negotiate with US. until her Con-
stituent Congress Shall assemble in Decem-
Der next. Three months, therefore, were
to pass away without doing anything for
peace, unless we can assist its restoration
by the vIgGr of our arms. 1t becomes high
ime, then, for us 10 hasten the decision OF
Mexico. We must carry on the war with
vigor. We must make 1t more her interest
10 terminate lis evils. We must compel
her people to share us expenses with US
b. levy ing contributions upon her FOR the
support OF our army. We want provisions,
and they must assist IN supplying US
The proclamation OF General Ampudia.
| the contents of which have just reached Us,
increases the Necessity OF such measure
| He brealhes the severest vengeance against
any Mexican who shall have any dealings
with US, and shall even sell US provisions
We must compel them, therefore, to con-
tribute for the support 0! our army.
As soon as The dilatory answer from
Mexico was received by the government.
there is no doubt that the policy here indI-
Gated was op,ed. The private property
Of the Mexican people will be relgIcusly
respected, except what may be necessary
for the support OF cur army. Their persons
and property, with this exception. wlll be
sacredly protected Their religion and
their alters will be respected as truly as il
they were Americans In the bosom oi oul
own cuunlrN.'

HOW SHALL MEET THEE!
How shall meet thee?-With the trust,
The free, fond trust OF other years!
With the deep, fervent joy tina. must
Express itself in silent tesrs?-
With eager grasp, and gladden'd tone
Such smiles as for our childhood shone?
No:-Friendship blooms no more for US,
IT'S long since have met thee thus!
How shall meet ,hee?-Wlh the blush
That kindes at thine earnest gaze,
While quick thoughts DER my spirit rush
The quivering lip my heart betrays:
With voice whose falterng accents breathe
The trembling Joy that turks beneath!
No:-Such vain dreams are not for US,
do not wish 10 meet thee thus.
How shall meet thee?--Wilh an eye
That hath no brightness, yet no tears;
With needless tone and cold reply,
The chilling garb Indifference wears;
With sadden'd heart yet careless mien,
Revealing nought Of what has been?
Yes! changes sad have alter'd US,
Alas! that must meet thee thus

TINHIS VALUABLE MEDICINE is undoubtedly
J. the safest, surest and best remedy ever dis

operation is both GENERAL AND SPECIAL.
While it acts generally upon the whole system,
as most powerful alternative, purifying the fluids,
freeing the solids from all morbid secretions and
reinvigorating and bringing up all the vital ener-
gies TO a standard of permanent health; 1t at the
same time exerts specific influence upon the liv-
er, digestive organs and Emphatic and gianduar
systems; exciting them to healthful activity, re-
moving all morbid matter, eqaalizing the clrcula-
ton, restoring their proper and necessary secre-
tons, thus accomplishing complete renovation
from disease and restoration to sound and per-
manent health. .y. .. I'D. Hr.

THE wAR-rrs PROGRESS AND PROSPECTS.


Our attention has been rresistibly attracted by a
series of essays, five in number, which have Just
been published under the signature of GERMANIcus,
and with the caption of I" The Cabinet and the
Army y in the New York Commercial Advertiser.
The subject of these able essays, so far as relates
to the present state Of the War with Mexico, and
the manner of its prosecution to satisfactory
cusion are at this moment of deeper interest to the
country, and to every class of fellow-cilizens,
than any other single subject whatever. Those
parts of these essays which relate to the policy and
course of the Cabinet in the conduct of this war,
of sufficient interest to have justified the trans
fer to our columns of the whole substance and let
ter OF them. For the present, however and not
10 distract the attention of our readers from the
prominent feature--that is, the military view Of
the present state of the warwe omit all the refec-
tons of i" Germanicus," however just, upon the
national policy of this war; upon its origin, and its
probable motives, and also the structures upon the
manner in which il has been waged by the Admin
isrston, in order to present. distinct from any con-
sderation, the dangers 10 ,ohich our .4rmy in
Merico is nor exposed, and the necessity Of
prompt and vigorous preparations for It's safety by

as passengers, there is no Doubt the whole affair
was arranged at Rio, between Berry and Gala
no, before the ship sailed These men state
that the first place they anchored was at Onln
near the river Lagos, in the Blight of Benin;
here they discharged portion of their cargo,
and received on board number OF hogsheads
or pipes filled with water These were slowed
on the ground tier, and tier of casks contain
ing spirits were placed over them. They were
then informed that the vessel was going to Ka-
binda, for load of slaves.
On their arrival at the latter place, the spirit
was kept on board until few days before Berry
gave up tie command, covering up the water
casks in order to elude the suspicion of any
cruiser. For twenty days did Berry wait in the
roadstead of Kabinda protected by the flag Of
his country yet closely watched by a foreign
man-of-war, who was certain of his intention,
but the instant that that cruiser is compelled to
withdraw for few hours he springs at the OPP
portunity cf enrching himself and owners,
and disgracng the flag which had protected
him.
As we are short-handed, have shipped those
men, much to their qualification, who came out
as passengers in the Pons from Rio to Kabinda,
in order that their testimony may be taken should
Berry be in the United States on our return, and
committed for trial.

here, with the exception Of one, who died Of
coast fever few days after he came on board
this ship.
