Eccentric hospitality.

During the late war, a soldier who had been
wounded & honorably discharged, being desti-
tute q benighted, knocked at the door Of an old
Irish farmer when the following dialogue en-
sued.

The Press Of the country is beginning to
discuss this subject in earn st, now that it is
evident that the struggle is to be prolonged.
In the South the universal sentiment is that
the present mode should be abandoned, and the
burden of hostilities be thrown as far as posi-
BILE upon our enemy. In place of some re-
marks that we intended to throw out upon this
view of the subject, we give place to the voice
of an influential Northern journal-not a po-
Ilitical friend Of the Administration, but a true
friend of the country. In some remarks OF the
NY. Commercial Advertiser, the conciliatory
and costly system at present pursued is thus
disposed olive cannot find room for the whole
of the Commercials article:
awe have inflicted the horrors of war only
on the troops of Mexico, the immediate agents
of the government to the people we have made
it rather a source of advantage than Of injury
The result seems to prove that this quahei phi
lanthropic mode of fighting will not answer
us under the circumstances. Despite our
honied words and corresponding actions, the
Mexican people show no disposition to receive
us as their friends,and only the enemies Of their
Government. The plan of the war so far op
pears to us badly devised.
The Commercial proceeds then to discuss
two modes of procedure, one by marching up
on the capital, the other by cOnquering and
occupying permanently the Northern Depart
monts. The Commercial favors the latter mode
but in regard to the forner expresses itself with
sense and force as follows:
Surprising that the idea Of striking at thu
capital is adhere to, it seems to us that WI
must lay aside all our feelings oil humanity AMI
aim to make the war as disastrous and destruc
tive as possible IL the enemy, without stopping
to make distinctions between Government AM
people. This conducting war On benevolen
principles is a motion that will not work. !
we will have the evil we must take it in all it
force-with all the enormities and c~ruelties
We must ravage and destroyi il we would con
quer. The experience of ages has shown tina
this is a condition pertaining to the business 0
war; il is a cruel business, and must be prose
cuted or not at all.-Ptc.

The LADIES are so inquisitive as to the con-
tents of our paper, that, owing to the dearth Of
any other news, we must devote to them one
chapter, on the f%ollies, v%anities, and eecentrici
ties of the age if the ladies have any. But this
is the age of improvement in vanity as in every
thing else; India-rubbsr, saw-dust, hay, &C.,
are consigned to oblivion, and whalebone now
creates considerable Of abustle in the ranks Of
fashion. The half moon is now r~ejected and
spale Cynthia pursues her course with all her
blushing honors thick upon her. This elastic
principle of whipping the devil round the
stump has met with general acceptation, and
thus custom makes laws.
So far as the article Of snuff is concerned,
the market is steady, and the demand increa-
SEES with the rising jenny-ration. Gum and
hickory bark, still supplies the place of bristles;
while the saliva flowing from its use is said to
be an excellent substitute for guano. The
contrast between snuff slobbered lips and white
teeth, is said to be great; and its operation on
the brain exceedingly somniferous' The use
of the article is calculated to keep the foot
paths clear of 'old sodgers,' and segar stumps,
from which snuff is made; for often il is the
case that the same stuff that gives ideal charms
to the fair (watery eye. and a sullow complex
ion) has performed unlimited revolutions in

Mexico. - We find in the american Flag,
published OF MatamorOs, a few scraps Of infor-
nation from the city of Mexico, slate as the
end INST, which is later than advices received
here. We copy the following:
The Government Of Mexico had received by
extraogdinary express from Vera Cruz, official
communications from the United States, invit-
ing them to enter into negotiations for Peace
upon which subject the Government were Oc-
cupiod on the Both uIt.
Gen. Santa Anna was expected to be in the
city of Mexico on the 9th inst, and great pre-
parations were making for his reception at the
Capitol.
1t was thought that the American Commo-
dorehad been fooled in thus permitting Santa
Anna to enter Mexico. The Espsctador un-
derstands that the Commodore was very unea-
sy and perplexed, after having scertained that
Santa Anna and Almonte could unite, and
arm the whole population, and fearful that he
had done wrong in not e%xacting a guarantee
from the former.
Eight thousand dollars were sent to the Gov
ernor of this State, (Tamaulipas) by the Gov
eminent Of Mexico, to be distributed among
the late sufferers by inundation at Camargo.
A hasty organization was recommended 10
secure their independence and libertys-NtW
