WASuINGTON. Jan. il
The news from Mexico is a damper upon
The prospects Of the Administration in the
settlement of "our foreign relations" The
Executive, Secretary of Stale, all the Cahi-
net, and, indeed all the party men in Con-
gress. have fancied that question settled. In
he course Of the Oregon debate, no subject
has been more theme of delight and con-
graduation than the peaceful termination OF
our difficulties with Mexico. Men have IAN
cied Mexico acquiescing not ouly in our pro-
posed boundary between Texas and our
neighbor, but in their minds eye" they
have seen "the stars and stripes" waving o.
yer California, and that rich country part of
uut Own soil. All these bright prospects
have suddenly departed, and instead Of the
bow of peace arch;ng the horizon, the war
clouds appear frownneiy to have risen above
il. There is,s.danger of war now upon the
Southwest rs well as upon The Northwest
with Mexico as with England. From this
unexpected appearance of public evil more
good than evil may come TO the nation. I'm
aginaiion will now be more likely TO give
place TO reality. and common sense and So
Der words, rise above the gasconade and
boasIing which have characterized the de-
bales in Congress for the three weeks past.

we're all unfortunately absent at the time, ex-
cept an aged mother of the Messrs. Stearns
who was left sitting in chair as usual. but
who was rendered helpless by palsy. The
last who left was the wife of Mr.. L. Stearns,
who stepped into neighbors oG an errand
about twenty rods distant, and had not been
absent over 30 minutes, when she beheld the
flames bursting from the windows and roof Of
her dwelling. The neighbors flew to the
rescue. No other means were left to save
the mother but tearing off the boards from
the side Of the house, which was done, and
the charred and lileless body of the victim, a
midst the means and shrieks of surrounding
relatives, was dragged from The flames which
were devouring it. 1t is supposed the house
caught from the stove pipe, which passed
through the chamber floor.
The loss is estimated at $500; no insur-
ance.

think you may place confidence in the correctness
Of the report.
Our company, with Captain Whites went on de-
'ached service, and proceeded on the Matamoras
road, about sixteen miles, without encounterng any
score OF the enemy or crossing any receat trail We
however, had some little excitement for our trouble,
az the advance guard cried out the enemy when
about twelve miles distant from this place, and we
formed In battle array, only to charge upon some
Mustangs. Every day adds reinforcements to our
ranks and near 5000 volunteers have reached here

An express arrived here last evening from Corpus

been committing more depredations at that place,
having killed two families and driven of a number
