The New York Courier says:

oroupd 10 an,icipsic peace with Mexico until
onr army occupicd her CAPITAL. We believe,
TOO. that an honorable and permanent peace VIII
be the conss qnence of taking possession "i
The city OF Mexico ln regard 10 The rumoreu
intelligence OF The failure 10 negotiate peace,
i, is precisely what was very generally expected
Peace must be eonquered; ard, therefore, wemusl
occupy the encmy's Capital"
On the conuary Messrs. Haskell and Bots
say that peace can only be obtained BY With
d'awing cur troops 10 the Texas line. We will
be excused Tor expressing the opinion that The
New York Courier's views have more weight
with US. Whether the possession Of The Capital
will give US peace at once, as The Courier so con-
fdenlly expects, we can al prcsen! form no OPT
MON. We feel assured, however, that no SUBJ
sraniial or permanent peace can be secured oy
The fatal policy OF Withdrawing our forces and
surrendering every thing 10 the wishes oil Mexico.
What is good Wing doctrine in Virginia is
openly secuted by the Wings Of Tennessee
Here Mr.. Bolts, fore>hadowng his course in Con.
sress, boldly recommends the instant withdrawal
of The troops from Mexico to The boundary line
OF Texas-and his suggestion is warmly ap-
pauded and endorsed BY The Wing, the leading
Wing organ Of The Stale.
Such suggestion, however, will not pass cur
reu, even with the Wings in Tennessee. The
famous Colonel Haskell, in his canvass for
Congress, laid down the same proposition,
mashed up in the most violent and revolt
ing language-and SO much indignation did
i, excite in his own party, that MIR. Hub
bard, The Wing candidate for the Senate, instantly
withdrew from the race, and pledged himself 10
vote for the Dsmocl attic candidate for Congress

"CONFUsloN WORSE COMPOUNDED"
We make The following extract from letter
dated White Sulphur Springs, Aug 7th:
IL have only time 10 write you this much, else

of The gatherings OF lille politicians around their

Some of the Wing fraternity are making tre-
mendous efforts to turn The Taylor current in IA

trovesy."
This looks very much as il the General were

Another Washington correspondent OF the
same Paper says:
