You will remember that have heretofore said
That did not believe the rejecting men at the head
OF Mexican affairs could be induced deliberately to
sanction the guerilla system of warfare-that the
mschefs must inevitably be greater TO the Mexi-
cans than to us-that the effect would be 70 give
full sway to the robber spirit so rife in the country
which would be certain to seek its victims among
the weak and defenceless, and those, for the most
part would be the Meyicans themselves This has
now been fully verified. Guerilla parties have
been quite numerous for some time past in this re-
gion, but We have rarely heard of them except
through plundered Mexicans, and the evil has be-
come 50 manifest that, Gas am credibly informeJ)

been formally revoked by the Governor of the State

indignant, and ordered the messenger out Of his

FROM THE NATIONAL INrELLioEscER, DEC. 90.
THE THIRD WEEK OF THE SESSION.


Two weeks of the Session of Congress have
passed away without any thing Of National interest
having been determined in either House. Not that
any thing could be expected to be maured thus ear
ly in bodies constituted as the House of Representa-
tives is onehaf Of its whole number being for the
first time Members of Congress. The Senate also
has many new members but, if it had not, could
not act on any legislative matter without the co-ope
ration Of the other House.
Important demonstrations have been made in both
Houses by the introduction Of propositions having
reference to the Mexican war; But nothing has
occurred, or probably will occur, before the new
year sets in, to Indicate decisvey opinion of ell
'her House as to the policy of continuing the war
tn the extent and in the manner proposed in the
Presidents Annual Message
The matter which has thus far produced the
greatest excitement in the popular branch of Con-
gross is the Veto Message of tho President, which
besides icing snpererogatory an official act, is
looked upon rather in the light of lecture TO the
refractory members of the Presidents own party,
and is therefore not likely to make friends to the
Administration in either body. Adebate has begun
upon the merits of that question in the House,
wherein tho ifarbor bi! or tho last Session orgipa
ted, which will probably not terminate wi,hou,
some decisive expression of,he opinion of the House
upon the subject
MIR. Boris deserves the thanks not of the South
err States merely, but of all parts of the country
Tor having made movement 70 re establish the
mail connexion, which is now sadly out of joint,
between the whole South down to New Orleans
(and OF course to the seat Of further South and
the Middle and Eastern States. -Four Mails were
due yesterday from that quarter, Cor would have
been due under the old arrangement Of which only
one was received. Upon the merits of the contro-
versy between the Postmaster General and the old
contractors, 1t appears unnecessary TO decide, in
order to determine the necessity CT putting an end
TO the entire arrangement OF the nails, which, as
we understand it. can only now DO effected by the
interpcsioh OF Congress.
