The Capture uf sarrss.

The last advices from Mexico mention the
occupation OF Parras, by Gen. WOODS DIVISION
TINS town does not contain moro than four or
hve thousend inhabitants, and it is pleasantly
situated.
we learn that the country, for many miles
r'nhd, once belonged TO single indvdual-the
Marquis OF Aguayo; but having become embar-
raised in his circumstances he assigned his estate
10 his creditors, the principal of whom was Tagle,
President ofihe Mexican Congress. Tage forth.
with sold tue estate 70 Barring Brothers, one of
which firm happened to be in Mexico at the
time. But Tagle had many enemies in Congress,
and TO annoy hlm-they passed a law prohibiting
foreigners from owning real estate in Mexico The
consequence was, that the sale TO the Barings was
cancelled, and the estate remained on Tagle's
hands I'LL lSiO, when he sold it to native Mexi.
can for mere fraction of its value
The country around Parras has been trulv
called "the granary of Northern Mexico" Not
only does it produce corn and wheat, but also
grapes, that rival in flavor those OF Malaga -
All sorts OF cattle abound there, especially
sheep. Immense focks of this animal were
formerly sent to the city of Mexico. for sale
there. When the Marquis of Aeuayo was
proprietor of the Parras estates. he used 10
give his agent in the city of Mexico the sheep's
feet as aperquisie. It is said that the agent gave
his daughter very handsome porton--,he pro-
ceeds of the sale of these sleeps feet.
But why has General Wool gone to Parras1
Any person, by looking at the map of Mexico,
viii perceive that this town is not in the direct
road from Monclova TO Satio. Monclova is due
north of Salto; while Parras is a good MANY
mles to the westward. The road through Parras
is at least hundred miles longer than tina,
through Aneo. We do not doubt that Wool has
good reasons for prefering the Parras road it is
probably less PERCEPTIONS than the other. and
passes through more fertile tract OF country.
But may there not be two Parrasses in the de-
Tartment of Chihuahua, Just as there are two

Our N. xlcan Relations,

The newspapers, far and near, are filled with
rumors relative TO the creation of the Office of
Lieutenant General of the army; the appoint
ment OF the Hon Thomas II. Benton to that Of

the appointment of the Hon. T. II. Benon the
Hon. J. ]. Crittenden, and Gov. Silas Wright rs
the Commissioners 10 proceed to Mexico with the
Army. &c, Sc, &c.
There is probably more CANNON than truth in
these rumors. They first appeared in certain
prints whose editors roll up their eyes in horror
OF the war. These editors, their prompters,
had an objectin view in circulating the reports.
What may be done hereafter in relation TO the
acquisition of peae, with Mexico, is more than
il probably known, even in Washington and our
private opinion is that these rumors are thrown
out more for effect OH the administration, and to
accomplish what the reports state is already set
tied upon as the course of the government, than
give correct intelligence to the public.
Although the President and his cabinet may re
commend the creation of the office of Lieutenant
General, ana may, indeed, send commission
with the army, TO negotiate for peace, whenever
the Mexcans are whipped into the necessity of
T., we do not think, from the present aspect of
the hor zon, that Col Benton will! have much to
do with either the Lieutenant Generalshp or with
the Board Of Commissioners. 1t will be recollect-
ed, that be opposed the administration on the
Oregon question, and did not at all act with the

ever, that the barometer of politics is liable to
great and sudden changes /; sometimes too great
and sudden for human ambition.
The aspect ofthe war question in Washington
IS, at present, more interesting than ever. The
wing. and those opposed to the war, are full of
something; it may be little thunder cloud.
