have spared neither pains nor to place this in

There are four large springs on the place at
temperature Of $40 Farenheit, highly impregnated
with carbonic gas in constant efiervesence. The
water is remarkably light and all the springs are
shaded by large trees. Walks lead from one to the

from negotiating. Many members Of Con-
gress had offered to meet at Queretero, that
place being the centre Of operations for
those opposed to peace. The conclusion Of
a treaty was less offensive to several militia
ry chiefs, although they had been so far
adherents Santa Anna. And finally, the
disappearance of Gen. Valencia, as well
as the existance of a league of the States.
of which QueIetero was the centre, and the
arrival of Gen Paroles, who some letters
say had already pronounced at Toluca-
all threatened to prolong the war, thus rem
dering useless all the efforts of those in the
capital who were at work to secure a peacs
and threatened to wrest power from the
hands of Santa Anna, UhOSe acts an Eauor
of the conclusion of a treaty it was thought
'OouM require eUen the support Of the If
|n1ericGn troops. .
Our readers-the editor of the Da0rio
co Dtinues-will recollect that when upon
the invitation of the envoy of the United
States, the Maxican Government consulted
Congress to know whether it should ~listenor
not to the propositions which it was propo-
.sed to makefo it, Congress did not respond TO
the demand made upon it, save in an e~vasive
manner, that the settlement of that business
belonged to the Government. But they
will also recollect that the Government re-
piled to Congress, that it possessed no such
powers, inasmuch as they were not granted
by the fundamental law, and as in comforting
extraordinary powers upon the Executive
in April, the power to make peace was ex-
'pressly withheld. Accordingly, the me-
cessity of the cooperation of the legisla-
tive body to sanction any treaty which
should be made being recognised by the
Government itself, if congress should refuse
to meet, as it was supposed would be the case
this want of h concurrence, even should
they make no express declaration against a
Treaty, would be a powerful weapon for those
united by the league at Queretaro, as well
as for all who might be disposed to join
them out Ofhostility to a treaty, or from
their personal dissatisfaction with the Prov
incial President. Notwithstanding, ue do
not think ii improbable that the commits
sioners tOiN6ring their hbOrs too SUCCESS
fill conciuSin, and that for the ratification
of their work, and TO supply in a measure
the absence Of Congress, that an assembly
of notables will be formed in Mexico. At
the same time we f~oresee, by the general
tenor of correspondence from Mexico, that
the end ofhostilities has not yet arrived,
and that assuredly the treaty which may be
concluded will not terminate them.
Such are the views of the Diari0 del Ia
Marina, a journal conducted with great in
telligence and industry, and with ample ia
~cilities TO obtain information from Mexico.
We have gone at length into its views, thin
king that nothing, in the absence OF news
from any quarter, would give more interest
to our readers.

THE fiction IF the nert C0ngress.-It
may happen that a lasting peace will be the
result of the negotiations of which there
was a prospect at the last advices. In such
an event Congress must, at the commence
ment of the next session, act upon the trea-
ty, as an immediate ratification will be nee
essary. An attempt viii doubtless be made
to incorporate an arti-slavery proviso in
any treaty that may be submitted, but it is
to be hoped that an attempt to clog it with
such a meaningless and absurd restriction,
will not. be persisted in. Indeed such are
strIc;ion would be so very meaningless and
absurd that one would be inclined to dis
miss all apprehension of an attempt at its
enforcement, but that an attempt equally
preposterous, in principle a tleast, was made
to incorporate the Wilmot proyiso in the
three million appropriation bill. But if the
ratification of the treaty should involve the
issue Of peace or wal the most determined
advocates Of the doctrine of the Wilmot
proviso would scarcely have the temerity
to take the responsibility of allowing their
peculiar views to retard the restoration OF
peace. To send the treaty back to tho
Mexican Congress, rashly to endanger IT.
and to say to the government of Mexico
'Sirs, we will make peace with you on cor
dition that you will be SO obliging as to tie
our hands, would be to present ourselves
in a most Ridiculous position before the
world.-&. Louis Union.

Nh. MURRAY-Dear Sir: On yesterday
we had a gathering together Of the Democ-
racy Of Montgomery at the Court House,
during the hour of adjournment, at noon.-
Organization of the party seemed to be the
object of the meeting. After it had been
called to order, Capt. Jameson having been
called, responded in a short, well timed
speech, mostly confined to the advantages
arising from vigilance and thorough organi-
cation. After he had concluded he intro
duced to the meeting DIR. Welborn of Pike.
who delivered pertinent and happy speech.
touching upon several of the great ques.
tons at issue between the two parties. Ir
the conclusion of his speech lie came dowr
like a s'thousand of brick'' upon the unpa.
triotic course pursued by the Wing party
in regard to the present war. The Democ'
racy will not be found sleeping upon theil
posts in this section. Let us have but one
candidate in this district, and success mus
inevitably be the result.

CHEAP ENouGH.-The fare from Louis
lana to St. Louis and back, is only two
Dollars, including board.-MO. Jour.
This is a mistake-the regular fare is
four dollars with the boats generally. But
since the Anthony Wayne has come into
the trade in opposition to the Lucy Bertram,
the competition between those boats, has
put down the price of passage, with them
alone. The Wayne takes passengers to St.
Louis and hack for two dollars; the Lucy
for three, and all other boats at the old rate
of four dollars. So that travellers to st.
Louis who leave on any other day than that
of the Anthony and Lucy still pay four
