THE DIABOLISM OF WAR.

We extract the following from Inc St. Louis Republican letter writer's account of the late massacre of Mexicons near Agua Nueva, by some of our volunteers ::
 Let Us no longer complain of Mexican barbariiy-poor degraded, 'priest riddcn' as she is No act of inhumnn cruelty perpctrated by hsr most desperate rob bers, can exceed the work of yesterday, committed by our soldirry. God knows how many ot the unarmcd Fcasontry have been sacrificed 10 atone the blood of poor CoIqui,t. The Arkansas regiment say not less than thirty have been killed. l rode through the cbaparels and found n number of their dead bodies, not yet cold. The features iu every inst"ncc, were composed and tranquil-iying upon their backs, eyes closed and feet crossed. Yeu would have supposed them sleeping but for the gory stream which bedewed the turf around them.

The Editor of the Enquirer would confer favor on one of his readers by inserting in hi paper the following lines suggested by th death of Miss H. M. s. of New. Milford. Thou art gone from our sight
 And is it forever? Thou beautiful and bright,
 Shall we look on thee never? Shall the lone hearth,
 The forsaken friend. And she who gave thee birth,
 Ne'er welcome thee again! Must love and londness mourn, CNeaih age and sorrow bending.) Fcs the loved one gone.
 With griet that knows no end:ng7 Shall sisters fond love
 Yearn for thee in vain. And the social circle move
 Without thee in its train! And can it be, the tie
 We deemed no hand could sever Was broken when we saw thee die, Broken-and forever! Forever-on earth,
 But promise is given, That lEey of " the new birth"
 Shall mingle in Heaven; Tha. we of Adams guilty race,
 Through Savior's dying love, And the riches of his grace,
 May live with him above. Oh ! when ,h,s short life is OCT,
 And its fancied pleasures flee, May more sold joy be ours.
 In God, in Christ. with thee. New Milford. April Slh, lS47.

Oh there I'll listen to the wailing wind,

And power Of thought it else had never known
Oh! would the christian breathe fervent prayer
Let it ascend then DER the dark blue wave;
No hypocrite can breathe the anthem there,

Oh! would the poet raise hymn to heaven,
Let it swell freely from the flashing brine;
