THE DAILY UNION.

!
on the 22d OF August, and Angel Trias, the former
governor, was appointed professionally in his stead
The Republican, contains letter from the city Of
Chihuahua dated August 3Oth, FROM which the fol.
lowing is extracted:
alt has been three day since the excellent SeiI,r
Trias entered upon his duties as governor. He
has displayed the energy and activity which might
| be expected from his genius and patriotism. He
takes not a moments npose. He has resnimated
public spirit. All Is action and movement among
the citizens who hurry 10 enrol themselves 60 on the
| registers. But we want everything everything
There ls pO pOwdeT-there are not arms enough and
the few that we have uch err there is no
lead there 10 copper nor pieces OF artillery; there
Is no money, and, finally, no time to create resour-
| ces, and prepare for regular real stance, for men
cannot perform miracles Notwithstanding this
do not believe that the same thing will happen here
| which has happened in New Mexico. But il IL ne
cessary that those who direct public opinion should
enlarge upon, aud the nation and the new
government TO see the difieu ties which surround
US, owing 10 the criminal neglect Of the inqutous
cabinet Of Paredes and his crew, whom God curse
| The other jaeent departments fngid spectators
| of what is passing here. FroI Durango we have
| not man-not look Of prote ction. Zaoatecas the
same thing. We ha We already lost New
Mexico we shall lose Chihu lhua by this neglect
and, in succession, Durango nd other departments
will be lost Raise your voice and cry out in or
Il
assistance for here shall nj sh by becoming VIC
| Tins. We cannot triumph, for war is not made
with such elements as we hav e, as have stated To
you.
"Last nIghta mob assemble d N the public square,
rang the alarm bells, and foceeded 10 the houses

bodies and authorities in the departments are all
professetly IN favor Of vigorous prosecution of
the contest The Of this is, that each party
faction sands ready rebuke and overthrow the
other, on the ground of want of PATRIOTISM if it
manifests inclination for peace, at a sacrifice of
any Of the alleged rights interests Of the coun-
try A Il, therefore, are Obliged in selfdefence, to
keep Up appearance Of ardor for the war, and to
be yer cautious in manifesting pacific propenstes
But in the most intelligent and liberal journals, il is
easy to perceive latent willingness to admit
that peace with the United States, accompanied with
sac rhce Of territory, if attended with guaranty
for thu future, is the course dictated by reason and
sound patriotism. This will appear from the fol-
lowing article translated from the Monitor Repub-
cano. The Republican,, another liberal journal,
| has an rticle of similar imports
From the Monitor Repubcano Sept ID.
"Our readers will perceive from the communica.
tons published by the official paper, which copy,
that the UIed States have proposed TO send special
envoy with full powers regulate the differences be-
4 tween the two nations, else to receive one sent
to Washington by the Mexican government The
latter has replied that the settlement Of this affair
belongs to the new Congress, expected to meet in
December next, and that in the mean time affairs
will continue in the same state as present.
y This appears to US proper raplyr We have
already expressed o, sentiments, some time since,
as to the course whn h Mexico should adopt for the
dehnitve settlement of n matter Of such transcen.
dent importance, ant our opinion is now the sam.
although with some slight notifications. In fact
we have always believed that il would be the part
of prudence to reg, iate, in safe and honorable
manner, differe with the United States, by
means of negotiation, rather than war, which, be.
ing uncertain resource, is hurtfu to every coun-
l..LE ed, allaI,
for this reason, regarded we'll Judged the bias
which the admi nstration of December, General
Herrera's, endea vored to give to the minds of the
Mexicans; but at present circumstances are some

"The territory of the republic has now been in
{ vaded and rediced and two battles have taken
place in which fortune, from some cause other,
has proved adverse to us. We look only ut facts.
The honor ofthe naton and particularly that of the
army, ia seriously compromised and the whole ma
ton, in war unjust in every aspect, has suffered
, evils which den land some reparation. We do not
mean by this to say that, in opinion, the ques-
non should now be settled exclusively by force of
arms, but we do desire that recourse should not be
had 80 entirely to diplomatic negotiations. After
, another battle, in which perhaps fate may not be
unfavorable If we take the precautions which pru-
, dence counsets, any treaty made would be honor
able to Mexico, especially as, in the present war,
have on our de, as is obvious 10 ALL the most in-
disputabie Justice.
: at is certain that the United States propose the
treaty, and that from his fact alone Mexico loses
no honor by entertaining the amicable proposals
which may be made to her; but every one will
agree with us, that too ready would not fail
be aribu ted to debility, and the total oblivion OF
injuries grave in themselves, and still more 30, in
their consequences, to impotence.
, "Let the army, then, be despatched to the from
tier let it present itself in an imposing attitude; let
it be proved to the enemy that our weakness is in
: appearance only, and occasioned by our intestine
discords but that union endows with the
vigor of every free and generous nation; and then
the termination Of the war will be a crown of glory
to our country, and manifest proof that, in spte
Of the gratuitous calumnes of our adversaries we
know how respect the rights of others, and to de-
fend our own, when we see them unjustly attacked.
fortunately, the settlement Of an affair of so
much importance belongs to Congress, which, as
we have Well-flnnded hopes, will be freely elected
