Gen. Quitman's Views.

Now that the fighting is over In Mexico, the off,

paid soldiers have contributed TO the success which
from the brightest page in countrys history, are
returning to reap the honors Justly their DUE and
give to their countymen the benefit of their experience
tow ards solving the question "what shall we do with
Mexico 7" Gen. Qutman is one of the distinguished
persons who have lately given the public the benefit
of their views upon this question He proposes three
modes of further prosecuting the war. One, to in
crease our force to fifty thousand men, and overrun
the whole country, garrison every State capital, and
garrison every considerable city. The second, to
withdraw armies from the country, and take up
the proposed defensive line The third to occupy the
line, certain points in it, and also to hold not only
the line and the ports. but the capital preserving
open communication with the gulf. The last he
sders to be the true policy of the country, the first
being too expensive, and the second would protract
the war indefinitely. The last is forced upon US.
Gen. Quitman says
ssIf we abandon the capital of Mexico, in thirty days
after the army of officers and ofce-holders (empleos)
now driven from the hive, will return and re-estabish
central military government, whose bond of union
would be preserved by presence upon the frontier.
They would keep alive this distant the 'front.'
Tier from choice, force into the necessity of keep
ing I'D strong garrsons from the mouth of the Rio
Grande to the Pacific; because, from the CENTRE they
could strike blow upon any part of the line before
it could be reinforced. They would move a semi
diameter, while operations would be on The cir
conference. If, the other hand, the 10000 dis
banded officers, the military arisocracy OF the coun-
try, should not be able TO establish government, the
country would be left in a state of absolute anarchy
upon our Withdrawal, and would soon be wasted,
pundered and depopulated. Itwould become derelct,
and would be seized as a waif, by some European
power.
"On the other hand, with 10000 men. we can hold
this capital and Vera Cruz, and keep open safe
munication between the two points. Possessing the
heart, there could be sufficient force concentrated
to annoy us upon the frontier line we might choose
to occupy. The expense would be less to hold this
point and the frontier line, than occupy the latter
and leave this u ralying point for the enemy.

Correspondence of the Public Ledger.

Among the arguments used by those of the whig
party who have advocated the giving up TO Mexico Of
all the country west of the Nueces 1t has been sta
ted that the principal portion of the lands between
that river and the Rio Grande, was a barren, worth
less desert. This is not the case. very great por

rich land of the Western States and of Pennsylvania

the difference in the climate, its effect upon all vege-
