MELANCHOLY EVENT.

We announce with very deep regret The occur
renee of duel beiween Lieut.. Carlton r. Mum
ford and Lieut.. Washington Mahan, Of the Viz
gina Regiment, al China, in Mexico, in which,
there seems to be but loo much reason 10 fear,
both parties were mortally wounded. a rumor,
tina. such duel had been fought, has prevailed
in this city for several days, and The name oil
Lieut.. Mahan was given as one OF The parties
concerned-bui il was not until yesterday that au-
thenlic information Of the fact was received. We
have seen letter from Lieut.. Porterfed, written
al Camargo on the I'D ullimo, in which he states
that Lieut.. Garnet had written 10 him, from Chi
na, the day after The duel, informing him OF The
unfortunate event in question. A letter written
by Lieut.. Kinney, from China, the evening on
which the duel occurred, is Published in The Re-
publican OF yesterday, 10 the same effect
These officers are all Of The Virginia Resi-
mcnt. They state that the duel occurred ON the
2Isl Of May, abont o'clock in the afternoon.
The parties fought at the distance Of loTty-fve
yards, with mnskets. loaded with balls and buck
shot, aud, both firing at The same instant, both
were wounded-Munford receiving seven buck-
shot, Mahan three. The cause Of The duel is no:
given, but statement of il, and Of the crcum-
stances attending the meeting, is promised By The
friends who we're present. These were Captain
Bankhead, Capt Young, and Lieut. GaTnen.-
The expression used BY Lieul. Kinney, in writ
ing il, that it is almost hoping against hope that
either ofthe wounded officers would live.

awe have before spoken Of The moral effect
nroduced mon the Mexican mind by the pre-
scnce and daily intercourse Of The Americans
there. The spirit Of commercial freedom and
enterprise which The Americans carry with them,
and the prosperity which is lis immediate conse-
uuence, arc powerful bonds, which at once at
tach 10 them all the Mexican Interests even while
the minds OF that people YET attempt 10 preserve
their hostile sentiments. In this influence con-
sis,s. as we have before said, the real corquesis
made b. the United States in Mexico-ihe true
germ OF civilization which This war viii have
sown there. In confederation oil this opinion,
and as a proof that the Mexicans comprehend
the advantages 10 be found in closer affinity
with The United States we have cited the con-
duct Of Yucalan, and especially OF CampeacnY,
which lately took The lead in revolution TO pre-
vent an alliance with Mexico, which must nave

The same paper refers 10 private Letter ilcin
which goes the length OF desiring, and even soli-
citing the annexation OF Ynca!an 10 the United
States. The letter says
"In year or Two, this country, il it belonged
10 the United States, would wholly change lis

but, in that event, we should be assured OF the
happy lol which must follow the protection OF
such people. Why, then, should not the Uni
led States take possession Of Gucalan, when such
step might be taken on their part without dill
culy?"
Tie Courier concludes with the following re-
marks, which do nothing but justice 10 the geni-
al influence of American institutions, whatever
slurs The Wing press may, for party effect, cast
upon their own Government in connection with
The war and its alleged objects:
"Thus VIC are assured, that there arc many in
Mexico who, in secret, desire peace-lcss per-
haps, for ITSELF than because The moment il is
concluded they may be able openly to avail
themselves Of the advantages resulting from
closer relations with The United S,ates.-
This, VIC repeat, is The most real conquest
which the Americans can bring back from
this war. This is the proof also that their
true mission is one Of pacific propagandism,
since, even with arms in their hands, they carry
with them 4 .piri, of liberty more potent even
than their modest victories"

PROSPECTS OF PEACE.

The intelligence in the N. 0. papers is ol
contradictory character, in relalon,o The election
o! President. The Bulletin says that Herrera
had been elected President, and the clergy were
in favor OF peace; and lha, Herrera would 'nlmc-
d,etely make public declaration 10 that effect
The same paper says that late letter from an
officer in Gen. Scoll's army and whose situation
was highly favorable for obtaining coEsec! inioi-
nation, states that peace would shortly be mace:
aThe news, on the whole we think, is favora-
able as regards peace or al least OF disposition
on the part oil the enemy 10 make II, II The Terms
should be admissible"
On the other hand, il is stated positively, that
the enemy were actively engaged in terrifying
the Rio Frio Pass.
The N O. National has the following article
on the same subject. We trust that lis e1pecla-
lions may be as well founded as lis reasoning
is sound
"We have had the pleasure Of conyelsing with
one of our gallant officers, ust returned from the
seat of war and we have reason 10 believe that
the prospsct OF peace with Mexico is not alto
sether chimerical.-The British residents OF Mex
leo begin 10 speak Of such thing as necessary,
and they no doubt represent The feelings OF their
government; and the British nation, having srea,
interests 10 look after in Mexico, can exert an in
luence that will greatly facilitate peace. il ii
choose TO do so. Before the taking CT Vera Cruz,
the British residents ofthal city were very incretu-
lous about our conquering Mexico. The battles
OF Buena Vista and Ccrro GoTdo have forced them
TO acknowledge the thing as done, and they now
speak Of the Mexican nation rs no longer COM
petent 10 carry on civilized warfare.
again, the most intelligent native citizens Of
Vera Cruz and Jalapa, and the intervening coun-
try, agree lha, the war should no longer be car
ried on. They acknowledge that the Mexican
arms cannot prevail; that The resources of the peo-
ple are exhausted. The people arc hourly be-
coming reconcjled 10 The Americans. The de-
s,ruclion Of the enormous tariffs, and annoying
tolls upon The roads, has facilitated Internal COM
merce, and destroyed the monopolies that every
where weighed down the lahorips classes.
Lastly, the clergy OF Ja!apa, among whom are
many Of the most Intelligent in Mexico, openly
avow their desire for peace. They have learned
that we are not making war upon religion, but up
on the military despcs ha! have reduced Mexico
10 its present degradation; Of course their senli-
men,s will have an extended influence.
"Ahoueh our reasons for expecting peace may
appear at irst.sisht somewhat superficial, still we
find more substance on which to ground a hope
that the war is nearer at an end than has hereto
fore been presented 10 u.s."
