u The opposers of the war appear to
take much delight in asking "When will
this war end" evincing their dissatistac-
ton to the wal more by inuendo than by
straight forward manly objections. Their
situation, it is true, is delicate one. Their
cries have become "fat, stale, and unproft-
able," which last circumstance counts
somewhat in the judgement of this patriot
Iic opposition; so that having emptied their
vocabulary of abuse upon the beginners o.
the war, the conductors of the war, and the
costs of the war, they have finally taken up
the continuance of the war. 1t is no longer
a question Of justice as to its inception; Of
ability as TO its conducting; of economy as
to its expense, but simply a question as to
its time. Upon this depends the fate of the
Republic. If the war continue, the duties
of one Gen'l. Zachary Taylor, will keep
him in the field, but if it should end sooner
than l84s, there is a reasonable hope, that
a fine body of whig YOlunteers would so far
sink their private interests as to give upthe
sweets of domestic life for the public duties
of an Office at Washington. Ali! when will
this wal end? Oh! this eternal war. Real
ly, gentlemen we feel for you, this war is
indeed of long continuance. The naughty
Mexicans have not that exalted idea Of the
northern republic, that will make them eth
er submit, or stop shooting. But what has
become of your prophecies Three months
was a long time to conquer Mexico: six
was sufficient to establish a colony;
and a year would settle all difficulties even
TO forgetfulness. Your longest time is
scarcely a commencement for the business,
and from present appearances 1t may last
beyond the eventful year 1913. All dear!
Oh, gracious! just so gentlemen. Polk
may keep sold Zach' in the field until the
election of anew President, and the "locos"
again enjoy the ssspoilss" All, the mere idea
is a catastrophe.

LATE AND INTERESTING FROM THE
PLAINS.

The st. Louis Union, of the 18th, says:
sThe obliging clerk, MI. SEABRooK, of the
steamer Meteor, informs us that just as they
were leaving Fort Leavenworth, on last
Saturday, information reached the Fort
that a train of U. S. wagons under escort
of Captain WIN. THoRP, and a small body
of men, had been attacked by the Camanche
Indians, and some IL or Is of the men kill
ed, including Capt. THoRP.
The attack was made at Cottonwood
Fork. The Indians took 80 or 40 mules,
20 yoke of oxen and such of the contents of
the wagons as suited them, and left, leaving
the wagons and such Of the property as they
could not dispose of.
We also learned from the gentleman who
came passenger in the Meteor, and who had
been for some time among the Osages, that
on the 18th May last, a party of that tribe
brought in four Delaware scalps, which they
had taken in an engagement with a party
of the latter tribe.
The gentleman, also informed us that a
large number of Delegates from the various
northern and western tribes, had assembled
at Salt Plain, and were discussing matters
of great apparent interest, though to what
they related, he was unable to ascertain,
but thought the council had been called for
the purpose Of adjusting the difficulties now
existing among various tribes of the In
dians.'

SPANISH

The st. Louis Union of the 18th n
tains the following: "The Mexican war ex-
cites considerable interest in old Spain, and
her journals comment freely on the progress
of our arms. Ell HeraLdo of Madrid, re-
views the past history of Mexico and the
United States, and arrives at the conclusion
that the former must soon be blotted from
the family Of nation. 1t ascribes this re-
suit to the incessant internal connections
of that country for thirty years which have
destroyed all patriotism there, and left the
people ignorant and selfish. According to
its view, Mexico as a monarchy might have
been powerful; but it is somewhat strange
to hear a European monarchist allege that
the Mxicans were not sufficiently enlighten-
ed to carry on successfully a Republican
Government. The belief that intelligence
and virtue are essential to Republican ex-
i~stence, is the doctrine of this land; but
monarchists have generally been unwilling
to admit that the people could attain sudi.
.cient moral and intellectual! elevation to
govern themselves. Ell HeraLdo concludes
a long article with an effort to excite Euro
pean jealousies at American progress, and
then adds::'
"Time alone can answer these questions;
but the history of the past aft ords US but
little comfort for the future. Within this
century the Union has acquired, successive
ly, the Floridas, Louisiana, and Texas, and
it is now about to acquire the CALIFORNIA;
and some of the richest provinces of Mexi-
co. Who shall fix limits to the power Of
the active race which peoples it!P Let it
once extend to Panama, and its might will
be irresistible. 1t will hold dominion of
the seas; it will ~monopolize the commerce
of the whole earth. And when the English
language is spoken on all the shores of the
Mexican Gulf, what human power will be
sufficient to prevent the Island of Cuba
and the English Antilles from falling BY
their W movement, and the impulses Of
irresistible attraction, into the arms open to
receive them?"

Destructive Hail Storm at Peoria, III
n Child killed By Ltghtning.-The St.
Louis Republican of the 18th says:
Eve learnfrom the officers Of the steamer
Lehsgh, which arrived from the Illinois riv-
er this morning, that Peoria was visited
last Saturday afternoon by one Of the most
terrific hail storms eve recorded. 1t con-
tinued for half an hour, accompanied with
high winds and heavy thunder; many Of the
hail stones that fell, measured from three to
six inches in circumference, and one was
found, and measured in the presence of sev-
.eral persons, that was seven inches round.
The destruction to property was veIygreat;
all the glass in the windows exposed to it
were broken and aver the sash was. cut,
through in many instances, while the gar
dens and fruit trees suffered great damage.
The forrest trees were stripped. Of their
foliage and small branches, and after. the
storm had passed, every thing around wore
shattered aspect. Our informant, who
was in Peoria on Sunday, saw alarge guam
tity of the hail, still upon the ground in
shady places as late as ten o'clock in the
morning. One man who was out on the
prairie during the storm, in pursuit of a
horse, lost his hat in the gale, and was very
severely bruised and cut BY the hail.
The house of Capt. Moss, in Peoria, was
struck by lightning during the storm, and
the fluid descending the chimney into the
kitchen or sitting room, killed little girl,
his daughter or niece, who was about eight
years of age. The house, except The shat
tering of the chimney, received but little
injury
