To overrun and subdue country containing eight mil
lions Of inhabitants is work for small army like
that under the command OF Gen. Taylor. For such
purpose require a host like that with which Napoleon
invaded Spain, that which Great Britain maintains in
India. The further our troops penetrate INTO their cou7-

The administration of President Polk
(which in all its public. measures has thus
far been of the most fortunate, effective
and judicious in the executive history of
the country,) will be prominently distin.
guished by the adjustment of the most diff
ticult question subsisting in our foreign re-
lations. @
From an apprehension of war with
Great Britain, which began seriously to
paralyze the business energies of the coun-
try, the mischief from which to both ma.
tons and 20 the civilized world WAS meal.
culable, the public mind settles into GER
tainty of permanent peace, with no dis
turbing relation existing between the two
countries that can, by any reasonable
probability, now or hereafter, give rise 10
collision, or cause either nation to assume
a belligerent attitude towards the other.
In such result all will rejoice, not
merely from considerations of peeuniary
prosperity, so immensely affected by it,
but from a still higher consideration of
tho benefits to humanity, and the assn.
rance il gives that between the most civ
ilized nations war has almost ceased to
be an arlliter.
But behind allthis there is question
to be fairly settled before we can rejoice
in the adjustment of national differences
which threatened even so great calami-

There's no such Word as Fail.
BY ALICE G. LEE.

- Al11CE Gs LEEs
The proudest motto for the young!
Write in the lines of gold.
Upon thy heart and in thy mind,
The stirring words enfold:
And in misfortune's dreary hour,
Or fortunes prosperous gale,
Twill have holy. cheering power,
"There'sno such word as fail"
The sailor on the stormy sea,
May sigh for distant land:
And free and fearless through he be,
Would he were near the strand:
But when the storm on angry wings
Bears lightning, sleet and rain,
He climbs the slippery mast, and sings
There's nosugh word as fail.
The weary student bendingSo'er
The tones of other days,
And dwelling on their magic lore,
For inspiration prays,
And though with toll his brain is weak,
His brow is deadly pale,
The language Of his heart will speak
'sFhere's no such word as fail"
The willy statesman bends his knee
Before fame's glittering shrine,
And would an.hnmble suppliant be
To Genius so divine.
Yetthough his progress is full slow,
And enemies may rail:
He thinks at lest the world to show
'"There's no such word as fail"
The Soldier on the battle plain,
When thifsting to be free,
And throws aside tyrant's chain,
Says, on for Liberty!
Our household and our native land,
We must, we will prevail!
Then foot to foot and hand to hand,
There's no such word as fall
The child of God though oft beset
By foes without within
These precious words will ne 'er forget,
Amid their dreadful din.
But upwards looks with eye offaith,
Armed with the Christian mail;
And in the hottest conflict saith
"There's no such word as fail!''

Case of Army Cruelty.

-
The attention of Messrs. Adams and
Giddingsis called to an eyidentcase Of ar
my cruelty, worthy to be placed along side
OF shooting deserters. 1t is this:--0n
our arrival in the American camp, on the
east side of the Rio del Norte, the iirst OBJ
ject that particularly struck our attention
was soldier posted upon the highest
part of ''Fort Brown" he was walking
to and fro with q perpendicularly anxious
look. Now, alter having been more than
week in camp, with anxious look. Oc-
casionally he rested upon the muzzle Of
his musket, with his crossed arms, but
generally he paced up and down his con-
tined walk, as if in the last degree of des-
pair of ever being released from his pain
ful situation. We know it is the same
we first saw, from the fact zee nerer saw
any one take his place. and also from the
fact that he wears precisely the same dress
and accoutrements, and has the same
particular walk. No doubt he is put upon
the walls of Fort Brown, in the gIaring
sun, without an umbrella, to walk day and
night, forever for some petty offence
We rise every morning expecting to see
him gone, but his strength serves wonder
ful, for he is still there, What dread
fat fate is his-how worthy the notice of
the Observation-Disclosures in Congress,
What has that soldier done so criminal
that he should be condemned by heart
less military officers to walk forever upon
the walls of Fort Brown. IN. o. Iropic.
