that ten thousand men (that was the sage
estimate of the Union,) would be quite
enough to subdue all Mexico and dictate
terms of peace in the HAS, of Montezuma.
Under this fatal misconception, our Govern
ment dispatched Minister Mr. SLIDELL)
to arrange the boundary Of our new acqui-
sition, late a part of Mexico, and, scornng
any tenderness for wounded national pride,
with an arrogance as unbecoming as 1t was
impoltic, demanded that he should be re-
ceiyed IN the character and with all the di-
plomatic rank and respect of Minister
Plenipotentiary, instead of simple Coia-
missioner to treat of the unsettled boundary
of Texas which last was all the dismem-
bered party asked; yet, rather than yield
that poor grain of Cancellation, we haughtily
withdrew our Envoy, and forthwith marched
an army into possession Of the territory
which just before we had offered to make
the subject of negotiation and amicable set
dement, Our despised enemy resisted; war
ensued, and now where are we! Reaping
the fruits Of our pride and folly. Orr Gen
eral has fought his way to the heart of the
country. He has conquered difficulties I'M
surpassed by those which opposed Hannibal
in his Alpine mot his .9f,ican) march, and,
with skill and courage not excelled by that
great captains, planted his victorious stand
ards on the towers of the Mexican capital.
Instead, however, of weakness, disunion,
and submission, he finds a spirit of resist
ance fierce and universal, and an apparent
determination to suffer every extremity soon
err than submit

Soaking of Mexico.

1t will be seen by reference to the news in
another column, that the city of Mexico has
not been sacked by the American soldiery-
but by the native rabble who infest that de-
voted city. 1t would be truly lamentable to
know, that our armies, for the first time in
our national history, were suffered to sack a
city. The sacking of Mexico by our troops,
would do more to corrupt and debase them,
than ten years' campaign. There is no
surer plan for changing men into incanate
devils, than to suffer them to revel at will in
the luxury of city, and commit the most
awful crimes without restraint. More
over, the sacking of Mexico, by our army,
would be a national crime, broad and black
as hell.

reported by MIR. HoLMEs from the joint 81
lect committee ON that subject, underwent
various amendments in the Council, one OF
the most important of which was, reducing
the number of delegates from eighty-five To
siNty-three. In ,he House to-day the origin
al number reported (eighty-five) has been
reinserted. Ii is probable, we think, that
seveny-five will he about the number agreed
upon. Doubtless the session will close as
early as "Wednesday"

Murder at Dodgeville.

A gentleman from Dodgeville gives us the
particulars of a horrid affair that occurred at
Dodgeville, w. T., on Tuesday evening
last. -Four negroes were engaged in gamb-
ling in a grocery, when a white man named
John Cork, entered, and proposed to bet FIVE
dollars on a particular card, but Is he did
not lay down the money, the negro who was
master of ceremonies at the table. insisted
that il should be done. Upon this Cork
fiared up, considered himself highly insult
ed that he should be thought mean enough
to bet with negroes, and stepping behind the
bar, began to hurl bottles, decanters, Sc. at
them. The negroes gathered up their money
and apparatus in a hurry, and one retorted
something to the effect that he was as good
as any infamous white man; they all left the
room, and repairing to another grocery,
again sat down to their game. Cork armed
himself with bOwie-knife and revolv-
ing pistol, declaring to a friend that he in
tended 10 kill a negro who had insulted
him, he follow ed them TO their new quarters.
As he entered, James Owens. one of the
four, barber, requested of Cork that he
would not shoot him. He promised thar he
would not, but Immediately fired at another
of them, the ball entering near the spine;
above the hip. Morgan fell, am Cork af-
forwards attempted to discharge two other
barrels Al him, but the caps missed fire.
He then turned AID shot Owens in the breast,
and he died Immediately. Ii is thought pos
sible b. the physicians that Morgan may
recover. Cork Immediately fed, and we
hsard that no effort was made TO apprehend
him.-GGleaa .4drerfiser

Entering Claims.

right sense of justice, has usually pre-
vented the practice of Sc Jumping claims,' in
Wisconsin. In no part of the world, is a
higher respect generally paid to the rights of
each other, amongst settlers; although, truth
compels us to admit, that loosen system of
ethics prevails in regard to trespassing upon
the property of non-residents, including
Uncle Sam.'' Depend upon it, if men
learn TO justify stealing from strangers, there
is danger of their growing wicked enough
to rob each other. When good men, with
out compunction, cut down the best timber
on the public domain, and go to meeting
Sunday, and roll up the whites of their eyes
and pray and sing psalms, there is danger
that spirit of rapine and plumber exists in
the very heart of public morals. He who
robs the public domain, robs every man,
woman and child in the United States; and
does a great wrong to his own particular
neighborhood, by despoiling the public lands
and thus preventing their purchase and set
Element. He who robs others, will soon find
pretext for robbing his neighbor.
This whole system of plumber ought to
cease and no man ought to be counten-
anced in it, either as Christian or an honest
man; but especiallyought he to be branded
as an outlaw, and to be refused wood and
water, by his fellow men, who will steal
away to the Land Office and enter away the
claim of settler, who has made fences upon
it and cultivated little field, and made a
house, rude, though it may be, to shelter his
wife and children; and who is striving with
all his might to earn money for the purchase
of his claim. Out with all such plundering
wretches! They are only fit to inhabit Sa-
hara, with the wandering Arabs!

Border Troubles.

1t will be seen by the following extract OF
letter received by us, from Prairie du
CHEN, that the Winnebago Indians are
again trespassng upon our territory. II
would be an act of outrageous injustice in
Government to remove that efficient little
body of troops from Prairie du Chen,
whose presence there alone, checks the per-
petration Of daily outrages upon our north
ern settlers, by the Indians.
{" A command of Dragons, consisting OF
twenty-five men, arrived at this fort last
Friday, from Fort Atkinson, Iowa. They
came over for the purpose of driving all
the Winnebago Indians on this side OF the
Mississippi, back across the river into their
own territory. The command were all
mounted on fine horses, and were the hand
soonest company of soldiers | have ever
seen, and all that saw them, say the same.
They left here on Sunday morning, for
Black River. We gave them ball on
Saturday evening.
We have quite lively time among our
selves, at present Captain knowlton sent
ont a command of sixteen men, on Sunday
last; they went eighteen miles up the Mis-
sissipp, and came upon camp of about
fifty Indians; some were on an island in the
river-those that were on this side, took to
their canoes, all but six or seven, who were
taken by the command and brought to the
fort, with about fifteen ponies, belonging to
rior among those who were taken who was
quite hostile. He cooked his rifle twice to
shoot some of the soldiers, but did not fire;
if he had, he would have caught a dozen
bullets in second, for their muskets were
all loaded and they were well provided with
ammunition.
Another command of thirty men started
yesterday, up the river for the balance OF
the Indians, whom they intend to bring
down and cross over the river, telling them
to keep on their own territory, until they
are removed to the North, which will be
in the spring. They are very troublesome
killing hogs and stealing from the farm
ers. expect some of our men viii dis-
tinguish themselves by heroic deeds among
the Indians. Ii is rumored that command
of thirty men will be sent on tramp from
this fort, about the first of next month, NJ
the Wisconsin river, to Muscoday and Other
places, for the purpose of bringing in what
Wmnebagoes there are to be found, anc
cross them over the river. Ii will TAXI
about three weeks.

when will the War End J

That our readers may know the opinions
of the most judicious men in the eoun-
try, as to the probability of peace with Mexi-
co, we present 10 them the following views
copied from the last number of the National
lntelligencer, received by us.
{" In examining the official correspondence
between MIR. TRIsT and the Mexican Com
missioners, we see nothing that can lead US
10 entertain any hope of a speedy peace
the peace party, and he certainly is ut the
head of the moneyed interest and the aris-
tocracy of the country, whom we should
think would be in favor of peace; and yet,
Immediately after severe defeat in pitch
ed battle, At the gates of the capital, which
left the capital itself at our mercy, we see
the language he holds, and the terms he
proposes--terms which they all must have
known wonld not be accepted, and which
must inevitably lead TO the loss of the city
and to another defeat if they attempted still
further To defend il.
every thing indicates that this, if not
already, will in future be national war on
the part of the Moxicans, in which the ma
ture of the country, the extent of it, and the
habits of the people win give them many
aad great advantages over an invading
army.
"From what has taken place, we greatly
I fear that both the Government and the Peo-
pie have fully made up their minds TO fight
it out, and TO listen to no terms of accom-
mediation. This seems to be the general
opinion in our community, aud the recent
news is universally regarded here, If not
exactly unfortunate, at least very diseour-
aging. IN. o. Journal
"Thc perusal of this paragraph in a New
Orleans paper suggests the inquiry. Wha
