The Mothers Blessing.

Mother, send me but thy blessing
'Tis the gift | highest prize;
Other gems may go amissing,-
This-O! this is in the skies.
Like the iris bright, to cheer me
When the floods Of sorrow roll;
Like the summer shower when weary,
Shedding freshness DER my soul!
can raise my voice to heaven,
Think that | have treasures there;
The promise that my God hath given
To a mothers fervent prayer;
And that promise and that blessing
Never, never can deceive;
Other gifts may go amissing,
These attend me while live.

THE FREMONT COURT MARTIAL.
The court met; all present, and the record OF
Yesterday was read and approved. The cross
examination was resumed.
Question With respec; TO line goyernoiship,
did no, Com Stockton, in his irst conversation
with you al San Diego, tell yon that the question
was mol an omen one, and that he had pledged ii
TO Lieut.. Col. Fremon'; and had recommended
him 10 The government, and that his appointment
was before The government Tor their approval;
and that if you had mol in.effered with MS ex
press, the approval would probably have been re.
ceived about The middle Of January
Answer.-I have no recollection whatever oil
having had but one conversation with Com Stock
ton on the subject Of the governorshIp Ut Caliior-
mia; that conversation was at San Diego on The
2S.h OF Dec. In that conversation | told Com.
Stockton lha, he had seen, by my official commu-
nicaliuns from the War Department, the insiruc-
lions OF The President TO me relating TO Callor-
MIA; and that had come 10 California win ool
a small force, that difference and respect for his

AFFAIRS In MEXICO.

We deyole much space TO the very interesting
details Of events in Mexico. They are impor-
TAM, as indicating a very satisfactory slate OF
thing. 10 that region. They relieve all anxiety
as 10 The safety OF our armies in the capital and
ON The road. There is now free communication
from the Capital 10 Vera Crrz. The train with
The dispatches, &c, was 10 leave Mexico on the
3lsl October, and was expected al Vera Cruz on
The I4,h. II is now probable that General SCOTS
official reports will reach the President lew
days before he shall have completed his message
10 Congress. This is most desirable as other
wise The President would have been much EN-.
barrassed By the want of materials for SO impor.
tan, branch Of his message.
The Mexican army seems TO be utterly broken
up, its leading officers consigned 10 retirement,
or dragged before the ordeal OF Court Mariial'
and even the pesilenl sucrrIas stripped of their
power Of mischief, and forced 10 leave The grand
highway to The capital. Present appearances
indicate tha, there will be no more fighting for
some time 10 come. A slight elimmcr Of peace
appears darkly through the conflicting accounts.
We have long since learned not 10 count upon any
certain policy on The part OF the leading men OF
that unstable and infatuated naion-and we
should not be surprized at their determination 10
adjust hoslillies, though few weeks since their
rabid obslinacy seemed firmly planted against
any accommodation. On This point We refer to
some interesting facts and specuaions OF The
Delta's correspondent The next arrival may
bring more positive indications of the intentions
Of the Mexican Congress al Queretaro. In The
mean time, we repeat Ina, every thing looks we'll
in Mexico.

THE LAMENTED WALKER.

Many OF our readers viii remember The simple
but thrilling address delivered by This gallant OH
DER at a public meeting held little more Than a
year ago a, The Odd Fellows Hall, 10 cheer on
the enterprise of raising volunteers for The Next

details Of his unhappy dsalh, which are Hinged
with romance When he was struck down by
the ayengins lance of The srey-headed Mexican
father, bis last words 10 his men were, although
