Case of Circumstantial Evidence.


In the wear 1859 there lived in Paris wo-
man of fashion, called Lady Mazel, Her house
was capacious, and four stories high on the
ground floor was servants ball, in which was
1 grand staircase, and cupboard where the
plate was locked up, Of which one Oft the cham
bcrrnaids kept the KEY. ia small room par
tiioned off from the hall slept the valet-de-cham.
bre, whose name was lie Brun the rest of this
floor consisted of apartments in which the la
dy saw company, which was very flequen,
and numerous, as she kept public nights ion
play. IN the floor up one pair of stairs was the
l,ds's own chamber, which was in front of the
house, and was the innermost of three rooms
from the grand staircase. The KEY of thi,
ch,mbcr was usually taken out of the door and
laid on a chair by the servant who was last with
the lady, and who, pulling the door after her
it shut with spring, SO that it could not be
opened from without. In this chamber also
were two doors ; one communicating with q
back staircase, the other with wardrobe
which opened to the back stairs also.
On the second floor slept the Able Poulard il
the only room that was furnished on that floor
On the third story were two chambers, whicl
contained two chambermads and two foot boys
the fourth story consisted OF lofts and granares
whose doors was always open. The cool

kept, an old woman in the kitchen, and Tho
coaChman in the stable.

GEN. PATTERSON ON THE MEXICAN
WAR.

We understand that this able and sagacious
officer expresses the opinion that the prospect
of peace in Mexico is more remote now than
it was after the battles of Palo Alto and Re-
SAGA. The Mexicans think that it will be i'm
possible for us to hold the country long, on
account of the immense expense to which our
government will be sub jected, and also from
the expectation that the divisions of parties
and differences of opinion among our people
will eventually cause the withdrawal of our
armies from the country.
Gen. Patterson thinks that we ought not to
look for or solicit a peace, but should proceed
in the most prompt and vigorous manner to
conquer and occupy the whole of Mexico
When we have done this, agovernment should
be organized, officers appointed throughout
the country, and a large army distributed
through the States to maintain our authority
and exact obedience to our officers. Forty
thousand men are deemed adequate for this
purpose. The expenses Of this government
and army will not exceed the ordinary reve-
nue. of the Republic, or at least the amount of
taxes paid by the people. Indeed, with judg-
ment and economy, the requisite sum might
be raised from a much lighter taxation than
that to which the people have been generally
subjected.
When we have gone to work and shown
the Mexicans that we are in earnest, and de-
termined to seize and possess the whole coun-
try, they will be soon brought to their knees,
and will be ready to accept of any terms we
may offer. Very fortunately the only alterna-
tive which;we can now with honor adopt, is
commended by considerations of expediency
and economy. The occupation of Mexico
will, in our opinion, be a safe and economical
substitute for the present expensive war In
) the phrase of the exchange, 8 it Wall pay" Ii
is far preferable to the expensive, uncertain
and veXatious system so vigorously maintain
ed by some of our statesmen and public Jour
nalists, of drawing line and maintaining it
against hostile neighbor. Perpetual war,
verendins expense, continual and harassing
inroads, an unsettled and desolate frontier,
would be evils inevitable upon the adopting
of this system. But possessed of the whole
country, with a strong military force, and with
the large emigration Of Americans that will
follow our occupation of the country, and by
a judicious exercise of lberality and generosii-
ty towards the Mexicans, we think it will be
practicable and wise to occupy and hold the
country until our just claims are fully salts
tied.-N. o. Delta.
