The address of Mr.. Ross occupies little than CO.
umn of the Advocate and gives favorable representation OF
the nations prospects and condition. We extract the
tia passages
Alhough there have been many individual outrages and
murders pepeated in the land since the last annual session,
yet on the whole, the condition of the people, individually
and collectively is prosperous and while there is cause TO
mourn over the evils that have occurred from the reckless
duct of the drunkad the corrupt and the vicious, am hap
py to say that the country has enjoyed many blessings from
Divine favor, for which all indebted and should mani
fest sincere gratitude For is evident that the health Of
the people has comparatively been good that the industry Of
the husbandman has been amply rewarded with bounuful
crops that the efforts Of the temperance societies have been
encouraged and their numbers greatly increased and that
by the preaching of the gospel many converts have been add
ed to the various churches established among US.

The long list of the killed and wounded in the
recent engagements before the city Of Mexico
brings palpaby almost before the country the hor-
rors of war. How great has been the sacrifice OF
life, how lamentable the oupourng of precious
blood, how excrucating the agonies Of the wounded
This is paying dearly indeed for our glorious victo-
ries, and for the renown OF our arms. And yet
Gen. SCOTT has been careful of the lives of his
soldiers. He has not wantoaly sacrificed them for
bootless triumph He has had no battle which was
not necessary for the attainment of his object, and
he never fought for the sake of obtaining fame

posed upon him by the circumstances in which he
has been placed, and the loss he has sustained was
unavoidable. Gazette.
