What is now to be done2
There is only one correct course left for our
government TO pursue. They have treated the
Mexlcans with as much kindness as one nation
could possibly treat another; and yet we have
been hambugged, and will continue TO be hum
bugged and laughed at till we show the Mexicans
what war is really and smphatically meant to
be. We must now destroy the city Of Mexico
level it with the earth on which it now stands

course would save hundreds of lives. Occupy
all the sea ports on the Gulf, and on the Pacific,

Such course would compel the Mexcans to sue
for peace. Nothing else will
All this may appear at first blush very severe,
but is il not necessary We are in this war,
and we must get out of it, No one wishes it to
continue. We must therefore have peace We
must conquer it; we must act promptly and en-

that has marked the victorious progress of our
arms through Mexico.
No more armistices. The last one was pro-

steamer left her wharf yesterday afternoon, at
ten minutes past one o'clock, and, without any
accident, proceeded down the East River, having
the American and French flags at the fore of
each mast. Nothing particular happened during
her trip to the Quarantine, where we landed, in
company with several gentlemen belonging to
that line of ocean steamers, among whom was
the Marquis de Ragecourt, the President of the
board of administration. The Union then pur
on full steam, and soon disappeared below the

gentleman belongs to one Of the oldest of the

Protestant EPISCOPAL CONVENTIONAL VIII
be seen by our report of the proceedings OF the
Protestant Episcopal Convention, that, contrary
to the expectation of every one, as much as to
that of the members, that it adjourned sine die
last evening, after a short session of two days.
Before the waters became troubled, or the pas
sions or prejudices of the members got excit-
ed, a series of resolutions were introduced by
the Rev. Mr.. Forbes, virtually leaving to the
general convention, which will shortly meet,
the case of the suspended bishop, for final adju-
dicaton. Under all the circumstances, this was
the best action they could have taken in the mat
ter, and we congratulate the diocese on the hap
py turn which matters took.

The LAUNCH OF THE HERMANN.-At half past
one yesterday, the large steamship Hermann
was successfully launched from the yard of her
builders, Messrs. Westervelt and Mckay.
The H., as we have stated, on several occa-
sions, belongs to the Ocean Steam Navigation
Company, and is the second vessel, under the
government mail contract, in the Bremen and
Southampton line. Her model is said, by those
having taste and experience, to be without fault
Her appearance on the water, after the launch,
was easy, light, and graceful. Nothing in the
nautical line now extant can surpass the well
drawn fine proportions of this noble vessel She
was Immediately taken upon the Sectional Dock
where she will be coppered, preparatory to re-
ceiving her machinery.
She measures, according to the carpenters
calculations, 225O tons, PAS feet long, Al feet
beam, 81 feet deep The engines are equal In
power to those now in the Washington. The
interior arrangements of the ship are under the
direction of Capt. Crabtree, who, as we have
before stated, is to command her.

ANNUAL FAIR OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE.
We refer, with great pleasure, to the return of
this important exhibition of the genius and in
dustry OF this country. We have every reason
to bc'ieve that this fair, the twentieth, will ex.
Gel those previously held. No public show in the
United States excltes more solid and lastinp
pleasure than this.
1t consequently always powerfully attracts our
citizens. 1t is also exceedingly valuable to those
who desire to bring quickly into notice their
newly Invented or improved articles of any de-
scription; and many who have this opportunity to
bring their articles before the public, have
realized prosperous demand. Advertising is
by no means such an inducement to buy, as see
ing the articles themselves-and there ia at
Castle Garden such an immense number of visi.
ters-probably over two hundred thousand
that any new or useful, or curious thing is more
seen and examined in a day-than it would at
the private place Of its owner, be seen and ex-
amned in years
Castle Garden is an excellent place for the ex-
hibition. Its locality is central and capital.
