The WARRIOR some time past, the tone of the
members of the Administration, represented by
some whose opportunities Of conversing with them
were frequent has been sanguine as TO the prospect
of speedy peace. Within few days, however,
as we are informed, the expectations of speedy
termination of this most unfortunate with Mexi-
co are not spoken Of with SO much confidence, and
we have been told that the Executive has ordered
Major General BUTLER, now at his residence at
Carrollton, Kentucky, TO repair to Westinghouse
order to have the benefit of his experience and views
in forming plan for the future conduct of the war.
This certainly, if true does not indicate any hope Of
peace.-.4ierandria Gazette.

FROM THE PACIFIC.

Letters from Commodore STOCKTON, dated at
San Francisco, October lst, and at San Diego, No
vember 23d, 1916, have been received at the Navy
Department. The officers and crews of the squa-
dron were in fine health and spirits.
The Mexican officers in the territory, with one
or two exceptions having violated their oaths, and
again taken up arms against the United States, had
succeeded in possessing themselves Of the City Of the
Angels, and one or two other places, bordering on
Sonora, which had been previously captured by the
Americans. Upon receiving intelligence, however,
of the instruction, Com. STOCKTON adopted the
most prompt and vigorous measures for the recovery
of the places thus taken, and his efforts, which had
already been in part successful, promised to be
completely so.-Lnion.

BY THE AUTHOR GUITAR.
Why rings not with gadnes the harp Of the mounain
Why burns not with brightness the old Beltsne tree
Why weeps in deep sadness, by EchI's clear fountain
The flower OF Gienkiery, the pride Of Glenshee?
Go ask of the eagle that screams Ben-Creanl
Go ask of the dun-deer that leaps the lea
Glenkllerys brave cheftain lies cold on Culloden
And Ranald, young Ranad, is far o'er the sea.
The bird Of the air has its nest in the greenwood,
The fox has his hole, and the wolf has his lair;
But ruin has seized on the home of his childhood,
And houseless and homeless he wanders alar.
Yet Oft In his SAUNDERS, the halls of his fathers
Beam bright TO his faDcy-ihe land Of the free,
Where the clouds love to es the mountains rough breast
Ere they journey afar DER the sandIess
But will Lord Ranald return to his mountains;
see in the distance his bark the main;
Rejoice then We maidenS by Erchts clear fountains,
And welcome young Ranald TO Scotia again.
Let the Beltane be fired on the top of Ben-dui,
Let the cairshach ling loud floats the breeze;
Dance young and madens by meadow and greenwood
For Ranald, young Ranad is stemming the seas.
Fall soft like The dew on the brow Of DHnmore;
Remember that sorrow is mingled with gladness,
And mourn for the cheftain who persisted Of yore.
Weep. weep for the hero who fell at Culcten,
His Prince and his country from thraIdom TO free,
Glenkery old ehieain, the bold and the dauntless,
As you welcome Lord Ranald from over the sea.
