THE PROGRESS OF CIVILIZATION"

The hotbed of war has thrown up some noxious
and frghtful weeds, which, but for its existence,
might have lain dormant for a century or so, but
the seeds Of which would, at some time or other,
doubtless have terminated. OF these is the scheme
Of UNIVERSAL DOMINION, at least over this Cont
nent, and along with it that odlous and damnable
doctrine that /" Conquest and Annexation" are. in
the Providence of God, approved means of I" civil
izing" nations presumed to be inferior to their
neighbors. When, in our paper of Saturday last,
we remarked at large upon this Indictment to the
destruction and extinction of the Nation Of Next
cor, with equal application, any other nation
whose territories we should take fancy to-we
really had no idea that this doctrine would be
avowed and justified an actual and practical rule
Of conduct for this Government of ours. We can
hardly find words to express our surprise, on dis
covering that, at the very moment we were penning
those remarks, paper of such standing in its party,
and affiliated with the Administration and its
organ, as the Richmond Enquirer, was on its way
to this city containing recognition OF this identical
doctrine But such was the case, as will be seen
from the following extract from the Enquirer" of
Friday last:
fhOm give UP HiuCH
of our space to the cheering details of General
ScoTT's victorious but bloodess march. Jaapa
and the dark and bloody prison-forress of Perote
have fallen into our power without drop Of
blood. SCOTS march is oncard. He has noU
the good sense not TO think of the fire in his rear,
but looks steadily TO the 'front.' where his future
achievements written in living characters of
glory. HIS MARCH, like Taylor's, IS A STEP IN
i THE PROGRESS OF CIVILIZATION"
The Washington Correspondent of the " Journal
Of Commerce. under date OF May IL, gives the
following information:
:" You will see that it is now contemplated, or
rather suggested, to sequeser the property Of the
L Mexican Church during the war. hare no
doubt IL is 10 be done, the Church influence is
now the main support Of the war;"
From the same source we derive the following
confirmation of report we had heard before:
In connexion with yesterdays report as TO some
land of the Marine Corps learn to-day that six
companies Of IT, s. Marines, numbering about six hundred
under the command Of Major L. Twecs for several years
the commandant Of the barracks at this station, have
been ordered join the army in Mexico Eight additional
companies under command Of Lieut. Col. WArsoS, have
received preparatory ORDERS and will follow the first battalion
The marines in the Gulf will join those Vera Cruz and
the WHOLE about hundred be formed into eg
ments under command Of Lieut. COL Watson and Major
Twiggs."
