number of men which be brought, it ap.
pears indubitable that it does not reach

Worth, if not greater; since, the day fol-
loving, ne visited the cathedral, and spoke
the same language as the other about the

PEACE OR WAR 1.-THE following is the
conclusion of a long and able article in Ell
Rozanador of June IL "Wi.h all this
uncertainty and folly, all the contending
parties, directed by laudable but blind
and unfruittul sentiment, fran,ically cry
for war, and the word Peace maddens
them as did the instrument of Timotheus
the great Alexander. Peace, they say, is
not possible; but how will war be possible
without plan. without concert, and with
time wasted in useless quarrels? As it was
with the Italians of the Middle Ages. ex-
ceptthat we destroy, or desire to destroy
each other, our enemies TRANQUILITY take
possession of our cities,' and no one mo.
Tests or opposes them. Shall we give to
this the name ofw war? A peace, they re-
peat, will cover us with opprobrium; and
war only in1 name-with what will that
cover US? All desire to fall with glory,
yet none move to seek death. -
"a "a. Had such been from the beginning our
resolution, were it even such to-day, not a
single Yankee would now tread our ter
ritory, and we should not be presenting to
the world scandalous spectacle, exposing
our inertness, our Indifference, and our
interminable fanfaronades. We have
said, and we repeat it, for there are things
that cannot be too often repeated we are
not the obstinate partizans Of peace, but
because we see that war is not made, and
thatlevery day there is less probability that
it will be made with good results. If it
is to be made, let US make it as we ought
to, for now is the time to act; but, not act
ing now, shame and disgrace will be the
lot of our sons Who will one day live stran.
gers to their native land. But, with a
treaty of peace, properly arranged, their
patrimony may be country, liberty, in
dependence" ~ --sF-. '1s= as's.'--

The WAY TO CONQUER -""Since the
occupation ofthe city, they (the Americans,
have not made the slightest movement; bu
they labor necessarily to conquer the mine
of the people, and it must be confessed thai
the ability which they show is worthy o
being crowned with success. They.under
stand admirably the ground on which they
tread. Thus, in 1alapa, coquetish ] ant
effeminate, soto speak, they were amiabl'
and gallant; here they believe themselve
to be in heretical city, and among fan
atical people, and they show themselve
circumspect to humility, and religious t
fanaticism. They do not even raise thei
eyes to look upon woman, and if yo
could see, as do, the manner in whic
they comply with the slightest practices {
Catholicism and devotion, you would. t
