That RUMoR. Notwithstanding some Of
our contemporaries attached so much Importance
to the rumor that Mexico had refused to aGcede
to our proposition to negotiate, as TO issue it in
an extra sheet, nothing has yet transpired to
shew that there is any truth in the report
The Union of Thursday reiterates its statement
of Tuesday, that "whatever decision Mexico
has made, has not yet transpired before the
publlc.n Had the decision of Mexico been re-
ceived by our government, there could be no
motive for coneealing the fact, or the nature of
the decision-and of course we should have
looked to the Union for publication on the
subject, especially as that paper made direct
reference to the dispatches received by govern
ment. We Of course published the rumor, but
accompanied 1t with our reasons for disbeevng
its accuracy. Had we initiated others and
published it in an extra sheet, we might, per-
haps, have acquired trifling sum by the opera
ton; but we have no disposition to make money
by such impositions, legitimate and honorable
business atfording us an ample support.
At the latest advices from Mexico that gov
eminent had been but partially organized, Cen
eral Santa Ana not having been installed as
President 1t is to him, and not to General
SaIas, temporarily in authority, that we must
look for final action on our proposition for
peace, and upon all other matters connected
with the affairs of the two COUNTLESS we
have great reliance that he will neither reject
our amicable offer, nor fail to give us an hon
orabe peace; and such, we believe, is the ex-
pectaton of our government, otherwise our
squadron would not have been instructed to
permit him to pass into Vera Cruz.

FEARFUL FATALITY ON THE RIO GRANDE!
Battle or no battle, says the Columbus Journal,
the Mexican war bids fair to hurry to their
graves a large portion of the volunteers of Ohio
and the other States. Every letter from the
seat of operations announces the death of a
greater or less number. The Dayton Journal
of Friday contains letter from Camargo, an.
nouncing the death and burial Of Lieut.. P.
Spece, of one of the Dayton companies, a
young man of much worth. The same letter
announces ten or twelve burials on the same
evening Spiece was buried. In a postscript,
the death of four others during the night is
mentioned. The writer says "you can hear
the mufiled drum in every direction" DR..
Luther NJ Beck, formerly of Cincinnati, at
tached to the Indiana volunteers, was recently
drowned in the Rio Grande.

THE GLORY OF WEALTH.

Mr.. D. Brooks, who had acquired
fortune by mercantile pursuits, and reti
red to splendid country residence, in
Westchester county, N. Y, recently
committed suicide by hanging in one of
his ousbuildings. This may be reckoned
among the fruits of life of assiduous
attention to amassing the wealth of this
world, on the very prevalent idea Of pro-
viding for old age. We recently obsc.-
we'd in one of our exchanges the sensible
remark that I" it is hard case for a man
10 enslave himself two thirds of his life
to acquire property, and then have to
watch that property the rest Of his life
for merely his board and clo:hes."-
Probably Mr.. Brooks, thought SO. and
therefore determined to quit the premises
There is an unaccountable blindness
pervading nearly oil of mankind with re-
gard 10 his true interest, or the true
Source of enjoyment. But should a pos
SCISSOR of wealth cherish benevolence
and sympathy, and make it his business
to search out and relieve such cases OF
severe suffering Of horest prover,y as
might be relieved by such small coniri'
buttons as would not materially endan-
ger his own competence, he would be in
no danger of resorting to suicide to cs-
cape the miserieS of gloomy disgust o.
the world and Standardization.

DEATH AT THE FALLS.

We have received letter dated Goat
1slard. (N,agara Falls) Angus: 81. in
which we are informed that a MIR. Smart
of this city, lost his life on the morning
of that day, in very unaccount1blr
manner. Ii is sd id that he went with an
other gentleman into the cave OF the
winds'--His companion saw him climbing
over a rock near the mouth of the cave;
saw his feet slip, and few moments af-
forwards perceived him lying on his back.
After some time, rs he remained in this
position, the other gentleman became
uneasy and went TO paper mill near by
for assistance. Two men came from the
mill and one of them went down 10 Mr..
Smart, whom be found dead. With some
difficulty the body was got out and our
correspondent says he saw il =; there
wore bruises on the head, arm and shout
der but the writer supposes that he was
snffocated by rush Of wind from the
caye.-Com. ADJ.

ARRIVAL or THE BRITANNIA

The steamer Britannia, arrived at Bos.
ton about nOou on Thursday, in IA DAYS
from Liverpool. Messrs Thompson Go.
have furnished US copy of Wilmer s.
Smiths Liverpool Times of the 10Th
Aug.
Hon. Louis M'Lane late minister to
England, was one Of the passengers in
the Britannia. She left Liverpool with
lO1, OF which 80 were for Boston.
The Cambria arrived at Liyerpool on
the 18th, in the short passage of 10 DAYS
am Ii hours from Boston, carrying the
news OF the passage of the Tariff Bill
through the Senate.
The Potatoe blight was every where
prevailing. In Ireland the devastation
IS general. Everywhere the root is rot.
ten, or progressing towards decay. Sci
ence is at fault, and alarm is rife. Inhu-
enced by bad weather, and acted upon
by the destruction of the chief food of
the poor. the price of grain is advancing,
and the belief is, that it will continue TO
advance.
The Cotton market was in a quiescent
state. In the rufac;uriDg districts
business was the reverse of satisfactory
and some ofthe mills in Black burn have
commenced working short time. The
news from the United States respecting
the Tariff having passed the Senate:
would, it was expected, give more aclivi-
ty to trade.
The feud between Old and Young Ire
land is now regularly consumated. They
are distinct parties. Mr.. O'Conncll has
denounced their policy and disdained
their aid. the Nation'' has been ex-
PEELED from the rooms of Cancellation
Hall, and the quarrel stands little chance
of ever being cemented again.
A Large business was doing in Iron
the demand continued good, the makers
are we'll off for orders, a I'd prices are
very firm. 1t is expected that the a!tera-
tions in the American tariff, when brought
into operation, will create a demand for
some OF the most expensive kinds manu-
featured, which have hitherto been ex.
c,'nded by the very high duties imposed
on then, and will also considerably IN.
crease he trade in other descriptions.
The worSss IN the HoIyhead line of
railway are progressing most rapidly.
Nearly 1900 men De daily employed.
When finished it will fol.n enc contnu-

cd as the great packet station Of England
at which place the Irish, the American.

INTERESTING "REMINISCENCES OF
WASHINGTON.
The Montreal Courier says:

The Montreal Courier says:
There is an interesting fact connected
with the English 4Gth reg ment, which has
just arrived in this city TO relieve tie Goth
Rifles, bound for Halifax. There has been
for upwards Of n century free-Elason's
lodge in the 16th-in This lodge George
Washington was made a mason, while the
regiment was stationed in the colonies, be
fore the outbreak of the Revolutionary war
The reg ,ster Of this lodge contains Wash
ington's signature in his own hand writing,
and il still possesses the Bible on which tho
great man took the oath Of initiation. The
chest, containing the books and re2alia of
the lodge, was captured blythe Americans
during the war and taken to Washington,
but when it was discovered what it contain
ed, it was Immediately sent back. 1t under
went similar fate some year S after, being
taken by The French at St. Lucia. 1t was
then carried to Paris. and its contents be-
ing examined, was Immediately reiurne to
the regiment by the French aut horites.-
We believe detail of these facts with the
dates and full particulars is to be found in
the Freemason's Magazine of few years
bark.

AN AMERICAN BATTLE GROTrND

AN AMERICAN BATTLE GROUND.
These extracts are from Hochelea, OF
England in the New World, just publish.
cd by Wiley g. Putnam:
Within four miles of SARATOGA i, the
village OF Saltwater, memorable as the
scene OF Sir John Burgoyne's disaster in
l|77 disaster of so much influence on
the tate the revolutionary war, that it
1t may almost be said to have been deci-
slve. Who dare speculate on what would
have been our position now, had that
struggle ended differently The man
whose voice was inferior only to prophe-
cy, foretold ruin 10 liberty in the success
OF our policy at that time, and the free
dom Oft hnman race in its defeat. By
the light of Lord Chatham's wisdom we
may read the tale of disaster in that fil-
tai war, for the splendid heritage then
rent away from US forever.
The army of the Inflated Burgoyne
was the best equipped and most effective
of any that bad entered the field during
the contest but the insurmountabie diff
ffculties of the country, the inclemcnt
weather, and the energy and skill of its
opponents were its ruin. HaraSSed hv
fatigue and imperfectly supplied, its fate
was fastened by two successive actions
the first a victory, the second a stubborn
assistance, but both equally mischevous
in their results.
After the second engagement, on the
night of the 9TH of October; Burgoyne ST.
lently aband oned his position. Embaras-
sed by heavy rains and deep roads, as
we'll as by the number of the wounded,
they reteated for three days, On the
10Th they took their final stand above
The Fjshkill river. To retreat further was
impossible. The Americans swarmed
on every side in overwhelming num-
bers, Supplies failed; water could on
" be obi med at the price Of blood, for
the river was guarded dee by the deadly ri,
70 the cannon ON o, he eacmy. For six days
:i.e spirit Of the army lid not bow-at
length hunger and toll, tie 'eaoiy SICK
NESS, and the hopeless struggle cHuIu n"
longer be borne. On the 18th o. Ol'o-
Der, Burgoyne and his surviving troops,
surrendered to Gen. Gates and the rcpub-
iican army. From that moment America
WaS nation.
