ANOTHER GLORIOUS VICTORY =

THE FLAG OF THE REPUBLIC WAVES OVER THE
HALLS THE MoNTEzUMAs
Our readers will learn, by The news in another
column, which we publish from the New Or
leans Picayune, that Gen Scott has taken the
City of Mexico and planted our banner upon its
walls. F.. .a-ta8 2: =as., ,'.ag,ru - ,z.Ia.@
The accounts, it is true, are mostly from Mexi
sources but they are sufficient to establish the
fact that the armistice was terminated, after all
hopes of getting peace had vanished, and that then
our forces attacked the Mexicans, and, after a
sharp Struggle, captured The City. This is all, in
our opinion, which we can certainly and confident
ly rely upon. Further advices will be looked for
with painful interest. -g r.. aae.'5.E1ae i>'f'.
The Washington Union, in noticing the failure
Of negotiations and the capture of the City, says
/, f",The maddened course of Mexico calls for all
our energies. We have offered the olive branch
Of moderate character She has dsdained our
overlures ard rejected our terms, aud, ia lieu Of
them, is said 10 have proposed other terms which
would cover US with disgrace d .Af = !. e. 90
8" We must hesitate no longer. We must make
Mexico feel the pressure and power of war--her
ports occupied, troops thrown upon her country 10
overrun and oVerwhelm her, supported by requisi-
lions upon her infatuated people until she will con-
ofpeace. We have talked long enough. We have
shown humanity TO her, until has become cruelty
to ourselves. We must be done with This kind o.
war, TOO much like peace and we must conquer
peace by those means only which are calculated
TO effect it.. n. .r,.. ~. so-. tt ...s
"As one officer writes u.s. five days after the
battle of Churubusco: Days have rolled on. and
still no move is made 10 possess ourselves Of The
fruit for which our brave soldiers have toed aud
bled, although within grasp. We are told the
old story over again we must conciliale 10 negOti-
ate. Have not had words enough with that
crafty rascal, Santa Anna? | tell you what be-
lieve TO be important fact: 10 gel peace we must
conquer, not concale peace; and 10 do this, we
must conquer the. people," -..
The above is in the right spirit--it is now the
united voice of nne-tenths of the American people,
Our troops ought hencclorth to forage on the ene-
my. They ought to draw their support from
Mexico Contributions should be levied in all
quarters upon the Mexican people; and we must
cease to offer them the olive branch and to talk of
peace. Let the Administration at Washington
draw the sword and fling away the scabbard; and
let vengeance, and fire, and desoIating war walk
among this stubborn and infatuated people, until
they shall cry and beg for mercy. This is the on
ly course now left to,the American government,
and upon the head of Mexico be the responsibility
the suffering, and the loss

MIR. Evans and Guard..

! We have received the reply of Mr.. Evans, tht
Editor o: the Milton Chronicle, to the Communi
Gallon over the signature Of {" Guard which ap
prared in the Standard week or two since and,
for reasons satisfactory 10 ourselves, we must de-
cline 10 publish it. Mr. Evans will remember
that he was first charged by the author Of Guard, !"
! through the Standard, with attempting to vote
twice The simple and naked charge, we believe,
he did not object to but he did object TO what he
considered an effort to produce the impression on
the public mind, that he had trepdulenHy attempt
ed to cast second vote. We gave him a full and
a fair hearing through the columns Of the Stan
durd, and, as sett-of we published the reply of
Guard" Here we think the contr oveIsy oug ht
to stop; for if we should publish The Communica-
tion now in hand, ''Guard" would no doubt claim
the right to rcjoin-the Editor Of the Chronicle
would surrejoin, and thus an unpleasant and un-
profitable personal discussion would be thrust be-
before our readers tor weeks. I. .,-. h. -.-...
We assure the Editor of the Chronicle that we
would be the last to do him personal injury, or
10 refuse any reasonable or moderate demands
which he might make upon US. Like all other
men, he has his fobles and his faults; but we can
appreciate his good qualities, and hope shall
never, even in the heats and bitterness of party
warfare, deal with him personally in an unkind
or unjust spirit Though as he said in his reply
to GHGrd," he was no doubt too much excited
with the ardent" on the day of the election, yet
we are far from regarding him as habituaIIy ad-
dicted 10 the use of intoxicating drinks; nor do
we believe that he intended to commit fraud upon
the ballot-box, notwithstanding he went forwa rd TO
vote second time. This statement we should
have made at first, had we considered it necessary;
but he had laid himself open to our Correspon-
dent, and we left him in good hands We hope
the Editor Of the Chronicle and our respected
friend, the author of Guard" will agree to drop
the whole affair, and forget it. Political discus
siOns are generally productive Of good; but per-
sonal controversies seldom benefit either the pub
lie or those engaged in them \.,...g .,-,a....

LIeutenant Wheedel,.

e. We were most agreeabIy surprised on hearing,
as we did few days since, that Lieut. Wheeden
was not dead, as was generally reported in the pa
pers. How such report got into print we do not
know; but it came to US in such shape in our ex.
changes that we could not doubt it for moment
The last Wilmington Journal says" This young
Officer The l2th Regiment of United States In
fantry, whose death we announced some weeks
since. has returned home. We do not recollect
that we were ever more agreeably surprised at any
event, than we were at the return Of Lieut.! Whee
den. His health has been extremely delicate ever
since he left Charleston with the two companies OF
United States troops raised in North Carolina du-
ring the past summer He has beenordered home
to recruit his health and we arepEeascd to hear he
is recovering as fast as could be expected" -

Ir.st like FederaItarn.

The last Charlotte Journal, in an article vindi
ealing Col Paine in advance and before the facts
are made public, thus speaks, of the Volunteers for
the Mexican War: I" They are often Of lite lou
est Glass; with IawIess dispositions and uncontrolled
by the rules that govern civil society," and they
imagine tha, when they volunteer 10 go 10 war,
they are TO be licensed to do as they plea"
This is from Federal paper, and is pretty fair
specimen of the manner in which many Of the
Federal leaders speak Of our brave Volunteers It
reminds US of the talk we heard in the Commons
and Senate, at the last session of the Legislature
from Messrs. Rayner, Waddell, and Others wh'n
the Volunteers were deprived of their right to elect
their Field Officers by the Caucus edict of an nn
scrupulous and tyrannical majority. Federalism
is the same every where. 1t holds the people in
contempt, or regards them only as the " lOr'"
classes" destined to be driven and whipped into
the traces Of civil society" by all the dcccncy
all the re6ncmenl and all the intelligence"
