the prcsen, war with MEXICO will be prosecute
by that government, with none Of that vigc
that could be expected by . people, who
homes, and native land 10 invaded by a forcip
enemy. II is said, tina. the people, even abo'
Vera Cruz, outside the city, are ready for
revolt, and to declare against the powers tha
be. A number Of the Mexican States are q
ready disaffected. I, will DO with the utmos
difficulty tina, Paredes can parade an army sui
6c;ept to meet Gen Taylor on his march Of in
yasion; and we would not be at all surprised,
respectable force Of MexIcans will not b
found, short of the city of mexico. This poo
tax ridden people, have none Of the enthusiasm
characteristic OF the Anglo Saxon race. They
look upon the whole OF that race as superior
beings to themselves, and cannot be inspired by
any patriotic motive,to make bold and decisive
resistance TO an army Of men. to whose SUI
perior courage and skill they so readily yield.
Nothing short Of desperate policy, could
have led Paroles into war, Of which he has all
10 loose and can gain nothing.
uOn the first day of this month, commen.
eed running daily line of stages from Tus-
cumbia Ala, to Memphis Tenn. The Eastern
mail will now reach Ripley sooner than any
point in Mississippi, with the exception Of ia.
cinto. This route is continuous from Charles
ton, South Carolina. to Memphis, and affords
the most speedy and cheapest stage travel in
the south or west
GrSlnce the Hon. Jefferson Davis has been
elected Col. Of the Mississippi Regiment, we
have heard some speculations as to whether he
will resign bis seat in Congress. The vicks.
burg Sentinel. thinks he should not resign, and
inclines to the opinion that he will not. We
ourselves, would prefer that be should not re.
sign, even though the war with Mexico should
continue longer than it ia supposed il will
That the people should have one years quiet
from elections, is as desirable as most
anything else. Old cicatrces scarcely be
come healed, before new ones are formed;
social society is kept constantly in terment. ow.
ing to too frequent exciting political elections.
@ The Washington Union thinks the new
Tariff Bill, modifying the tariff law Of 1912, and
reducing duties to revenue standard, will pass
the house Of representatives by handsome
majority. No one can predict the fate of any
measure in the Senate. That body has had
upon its table for months past, the independent
treasury bill; but we have not seen that they
have as yet, taken any action upon that ques
ton. Il is doubtful whether any further, i'm.
por,aut measure will pass both houses Of Con
gross the present session.
uTMr. Alien, Of Ohio, has resigned his place
rs chaisman Of the Committee on Foreign Re
iations; and Mr.. McDufie is chosen chairman 0

Sewer and Webster withdrew. who had Prev
ously received large vote.
uT The Theatre Royal, in the city OF Cue
bee, was consumed by fire on the llth u't. Th
destruction Of life vas immense. At the clos
.of an exhibition Of Chemical dioramas, cam
mime lamp was accidently overset, which i'm
media.ey set FIRE TO the stage. The Theats
was crowded, and they oil rushed to the sta''
cases from the boxes, in order to effect an es
cape. The fame was, however, 90 rapid, ths
most of the crowd were overtaken and consu
med. Fifty dead bodies have been taken fror
the ruins, and most Of them recognized, thong
the greater portion Of the crowd were entirel
consumed. II is said, that the crowd who stoo
before present destruction, presented mos
awful scene. Some countenances perfectly
horrified, whilst others calmly resigned them
selves TO burning grave. One near som
who had escaped, offered his entire wealth 70
assistance, but was consumed before help coul
be offered him. The city has since been shrou
ded in mourning.
