CAMP OPPOSITE MATAMoRAs, June I'd.
"A manifesto has been issued by Arista,
proclaiming all who hold communication or
trade with the invaders, traitors to Mexico,
and threatening death in lingering torment
10 any who shall offend. Ii has however
had little effect, as they seem TO be as nu-
merous about Camp as ever. They may
be seen daily through our lines, vending
milk, bread, sugar and every article that can
be found in market. am seriously of opin-
ion that the greater number of those who
have remained in our vicinity are like the
woman who saw her husband fighting with
a bear. | stated TO you in my last that the
Mexicans were fast returning 10 Maiamoras.
find that some Of the wealthiest are con-
tracing the ''leaving fever" which is taking
them off, but do not believe the disease
will spread to any extent.
General Taylor has paid our camp visit,
and by his plain appearance has won the es-
TEEN of the entire soldiery. No person
would have taken him for General by his
dress, for instead of a military coat, he wore
an old blue surtout without any mark of dis
ncti on save his sword worn under his coat,
and which he seemed disposed to conceal
by ever and anon pulling the flaps together.
An act of summary punishment was in
fllcted here on Sunday evening by three or
four rangers. A Mexican was caught in the
act of stealing from the camp, when they
led him outside of their lines and shot him
through the head and heart, Immediately
finishing his earthly career.
In the British Consuls' house and cellar a
number of gun carriages and large quantity
of shell and other articles ofwar were found
the other day, and they are moving them
over TO our encampment.--They were dis.
covered by accident, but for the life of me
cannot find out what excuse to give for their
being on his premises, or what action our
General has taken in reference 10 the mat
ter. The shells were found in the we'll.

From the Baltimore Patriot, June 18th,
SETTLEMENT OF THE OREGON
QUESTION.

The information upon which we relied
yesterday, in making the announcement that
the Oregon question would be taken up by
the Senate in the course Of the day, in ex-
executive session, and that they would advise
the acceptance of the proposition made by
MIR. Pakenham, has proved to be entirely
correct.
The cars from Washington last evening
brought the account that all had been done
as we stated-the Senate took up the propo-
sition yesterday, and, by very large major
lily, decided to advise the acceptance of it by
the President. The actual vote in the Sen
ate is not known positively, but the account
given by our correspondent, in his letter we
publish below, is most likely corect-3S
ayes, 10 nays, aud declining to vote. The
Washington Union state the vote to be 80 to
l2,gwhich corresponds with abe account of
our correspondent. except that it appears to
have Included the two neutrals with the neg
atives.
The precise terms of the proposition made
by MIR. Pakenham have not transpired, in any
official shape, but are, no doubt, essentially
what we stated yesterday-the line Of 40 as
the boundary down to Fuca's straits, and
thence by those straits to the ocean, which
gives England the whole of Vancouver's Is
land and the free navigation oil the Colum-
bia TO be given TO the Hudson Bay Company
for twelve years, when its charter expires.
The Washington Union Of last week has
the following article on the subject, which
sounds very lachr, NOSE land might be taken
by strict constructionlsts, to mean that the
Union had been deposed as the official or :
gan in relation to the secrets of the White
House:
RUMORS.-It is rumored over this city,
though we have no official authority for the
statement, and will not vouch for the truth
of it, that the Senate of the u. States has
been engaged in closed doors for three days
past on message from the. President of the
United States, consulting them about the
propriety ofaccepting terms, proposed by Mr..
Pakenham, for the adjustment of the Oregon
question. There are different rumors about
the precise character of the proposition. 1t
is said in the streets of Washington this even
ing, Immediately after the Senate adjourned
at O'Clock, that they advised the President
to accept the proposition by vote of3Sto 10.
We cannot consent to keep these important
rumors from our readers, although we have
no official evidence for them, and have had
no sort Of communication upon this event
with any member either Of the Senate or OF
| the administration.

"There is much complaint in the volun-
teer camp about ratons, whilst the regulars
have more than they can consume. Ii is a
singular fact that whenever volunteers have
been in the United States service, there have
been complaints of this nature. We have
volunteers here now who have been in SER
vice at different times and points, and they
say Iull rations have never been allowed
them. One gentleman told me that in Flor
ida, where they received half rations, the
regular troops had an overplus for sale, and
one ofthe Sth Regiment says ii is the case
now. To the officers OF company A. Marks
Regiment, they issue nothing. but give them
the privilege of purchasing from government
al cost--for cash."

VOTE IN THE SEN
ATE.
Correspondence of til e Baltimore Patriot,
WASHINGTON lima ID IS46

WASHINGTON, June II, 1916.
When Mr.. Allen offered his resolution in
the Senate to-day, resembling the rule which
provides for executive sessions with closed
doors, it was perceived at once. that the IF
ty-four forties in the Senate were in trouble
The sequal has verified the fact. 1t is now
understood that the Senate to-day came to a
vote in secret session on the question pro-
pounded by the British Government 10 Mr..
Polk, and by the latter 10 the Senate, wheth-
er we will compromise upon the line of 40,
with certain specified privileges; and that the
answer was Affirmative 80 TO lO--4 absent,
and 2 refusing to vote.
1t is generally understood that those who
voted in the negative we're
Messrs Anterior, Allen, A!chison, Breese
Cass, Dickinson, Jenness, flanagan, Sem
pie and Fairfield; and that those who refus-
ed to vote were Messrs. Ashley and Jarna-
gin.
Very great satisfaction is expressed by the
people generally at the result and the pros
pect it presents of affording permanence 10
trade and our commercial interests. Some
of the ULTRAs complain and scold--but they
will generally acquiese in the settlement ol
the question upon the terms proposed.

BURNING THE TEMPLE. "A report reached
here yesterday, by the steamer ST. Croix,
that preparations were said TO be making at
Nauvoo when she left 10 blow up the Holy
Temple of the Mormons with gunpowder.
The rumor. there was generally believed, and
considerable excitement prevailed in conse
quence. The powder was said TO be depos-
tied at Pontusac, about fifteen miles above.
Ifdone. it is 10 be the work of the anti Nor.
mons, who believe that if the temple was des-
troyed this infatuated race would disband,
and never think of NauVoo more than any
other place but so long as the temple remains
it will be looked upon by them as the Mecca
of their religion, and hundreds who have
started TO Oregon, Iowa, and California, will
be struggling back. Besides this. Mormons
from every part of the East, who are emf
grating West, must take Nauvoo in their
route, to see the temple. This the antics do
not like, and these are some Of the reasons
assigned Tor its destruction; but the more
probable one is that it has its origin in ma
lightly, and desire, if possible, 10 extermi-
nate the very name of Mormon. Yesterday
was the day said TO be fixed for its destruc-
