SANTA ANA.

We find in the New Orleans Pieayune ofthe 26th
ult, the following speeulations respecting the pro-
bsble policy of Santa Ana, and his influence upon
the course Of affairs in Mexioos
alt is extremely doubtful fSanta Ana can take a
position against the with safety, if indeed he
be inclined to peace. The accounts from the inle-
ror represent the Mexican feeling TO be very bitter
and universal against this country, Should he find
such TO be the case he will scarcely peril his power
by any strong effort 10 pacify suppress the pop
ular passion. But If this be doubtful point, we
regard ii as quite certain that he can conduct the
war with more sagacity than any other man in
Mexico. He has more experience, more resources,
and can command wider confidence, than any
other Bot 10 our mind il is better for the United
States that ruler should be at the head of Mexico
who can and will take the field. In the pos
ture Of Mexican affairs there was scarcely govern.
ment enough to war against or 10 make peace with.
There was no established dynasty TO threaten, no
concentrated power 10 attack Santa Ana can make
sharp war, and IL he do, it will be shorter one
than the advance upon disjointed departments and
a foggy, indlstinct organization promised to be.
II is doing mere 10 secure an advantageous
peace to threaten an established government,
than march through territories that are rep
resented only by factions. The capture Of Mon
terey and Sallilio will end in nothing greater
than the capture Of Matamoros or Camargo, unless
there be a government TO bring TO terms. The de-
feat of faction will not be a conquest of country
Wherever the American army appears, the citizens
lay down their arms, or flee TO the mountains.
When the troops are Withdrawn, they will return
and he Mexicans again. As our army will not burn
towns, lay waste farmsteads, or slay non-combat-
ants, it is clear that march upon non-reslstlng
power would be but expensive parade. The
United States would have 10 set up social system
in Mexico capable Of the functions Of government,
to achieve peace that would take anything by
treaty. Under Paredes's administration, nothing
above a guerilla war could be expected. Under
Santa Ana, contest OF results may be looked for"

10 the h,wer house of her legislature, by a Joint
commltee 10 whom the suhjee, had been entrus-
ted, snd is iavorably regarded throughout the
state. The hill is formed on a plan suggested by
Mr.. Bul,r, the accredited agent OF the hondhold-
ers. whose proposition is IN substance that three

laid, which will produce enough to pay per

nun for the redemption ofdomes,c debts These
being all pad by lS5l. and halt mill additional

Irish Rai-Woys and their Uses.-
The Repealers in Ireland have discovered
another use for railways in that country
their importance as means for over
running the Island with British troops,
as was recently threatened by a London
Journal. The Dublin Nation re,or,s,
that the Irish people understand the mill.
iary uses or abuses of railways as well
as the English. The non rail, the track
the entertainments, tunnels and deep cuts,
might be converted To other uses than as.
ssling locomotion. and deadlier am
bush could scarcely be desired than the
banks Of deep cutting. The savage in.
,imalion of the Nation, which shows the
desperation Of the Irish, has reused the
Indignation of the English journals, who
characterize it as most barbarious and
a,rocious threat, which will have the ell
feet Of destroying confidence in such In
vcsimcnls in that country.
