A cooDDaY,s WORK !,

Under This head the Union Of Thursday night,
announces the passage, in the lower House, Of
the bill authorizing loan OF ,wenty-lhree mil
lions. Much complaint has been INDUCED in by
the press at the dilatory proceedings ofCongress
in adopting prompt and efficient measures for the
prosecution olthe wart to satisfactory and peace.
full termination. Much time has been wasted in
the introduction and discussion Of slavery and
other irrelevant matters; but this action of the
House shows determination on the part Of our
public men to devote themselves TO the good work
Of meeting the emergencies in which The country
is now placed. In announcing the result, it is
matter of especial qualification that the House re-
fused TO burthen the bill with The famous and
mischievous "Wimot ant-slavery provision."-
This increases eur hopes, that The frebrand so
recklessly introduced will be utterly estiDeuish-

"pROsCRIBING PRESCRIPTIONS"

John Banks, Wing, has been elected State
Treasurer by the Wing Legislature of Pennsyl-
vana-superseding that tried and faithful officer
james Ross Snowden. Thu latter gentleman has
safely conducted The Stale through all her fnan-
cial difficulties, and they have been truly appall.
ing. When bankruptcy threatened the Keystone
State; when the payment of The interest on her
public deb, was regarded as almost hopeless, this
III ,oc. focon Treasurer brought his energies and
strong practical sense 10 bear upon the question,
and Pennsylvania, by the confession of all par
lies, mainly owes her intact credit 10 this gentle
man. Slill he is coolly whistled down the wind
by his political opponents, and his Office given 10
one Of The true Wing "stripe." Such is The prac.
lice of party who protessedly "sbhorlhe spoils "
and denounce the proserip,ive course Of The 10

The Legislature OF North Carolina adjourned
last Monday, after passing 10 public laws, 1874
private acts and II resolutions. Among their
ac's was one approprialing $4,000 TO The equip
men and support Of their regiment Of volunteers
for the Mexican war. The Wings did not, how
ever, adopt this necessary measure, without TAX
ing sides with The public enemy against their
own Governmeut-lor the Preamble to the Re-
solution falsifed history in stating that the war
was brought about by our own Government
The Democrat voted for the resolution, with a
protest against The false and mischievous senli
men,s of the preamble. They sustained them
selves manfully in The debate and their whitening
denunciations of the unpa,riolic course of the
Federal party, must tend 10 open The eyes even Of
North Carolina Whiggery.
II was not enough foi The Federal members to
violate all rules OF justice in re.spporioning the
Congressional districts and gerrymanderng The
Stale for their own political advantage. They
mus, ill up the measure of faction by adopting
preamble, which was denounced on The floor Of
the Commons as Mexican, and which, in its eff.
feet, virtually takes The side of Mexico. The Ra-
leigh Standard refers 10 one Independent, Whig
who had the maniness 10 DEFY party lhraldom
and act the part of an American patriot. II wa,
"Mr. McKesson of Burke who stood forth for the
tru,h-who told his party 10 their faces that their
preamble, charging The war ON the President,
was unpatrolic in lis nature and dangerous in its
tendency"
10 iar boir tuh df,ft
and defended their counlry's cause. "Mr. Courts
hoped lha, this infamous preamble would be de
s,royed-lha, this foul stigma upon lbe Stale
would be wiped out. Mr. Bullock said The did
no, intend 10 be personal towards the gentleman
from Her,t I'd, but he must say, that il he had
come into that Hall Stranger, when Mr.. Ray.
ner was speaking, he should have taken him fol
a M.ziean."
The Federalists refused even 10 vote lor re.
solution declaring, in substance, that North Ca
rolina would sustain and support the U. States
in The Mexican war; and this, after warm dis
cussion, 10 which Messrs. Mebane, Bayne, Ray.
ner, Courts and Baxter took part, was decided in
The neeaiiye-yeas SIS, nays So"
In voting for the preamble and resolution which
the Federalisls refused 10 separate, Mr.. Austin
answered in the negative, and gave notice That he
should avail himself OF his constitutional privi-
lege TO protest against The preamble. Mr.. Bull
lock voted "ayc for the Anprican resolution, and
no 10 The Me1itan preamble" Messrs Flemming
and Griegs delivered their votes In the same Ian
euaee. Mr.. Jackson said, "No! his conscience
would moi lie. him vote for the preamble" Mr..
McKesson voted for the resolution, protesting
against The preamble. Messrs McMullen, Neal,
Courts, Stone, and others, voted in the same Ian
guage. Mr. Webster voted for The resolution, but
against "lhe truth of the preamble; y and Mr.. J.
II. White voted for the resolutions; protesting
against the "abominable preamble"

Inyesterdays Enquirer, we extracted from The
Washington Fountain several items, which, il
true, would have been OF great moment 10 The
country. 10 publishing Them, we attached but little
credit 10 their probability, and gave lhcm as mere
dying rumurs. We were not, therefore, surprised
TO see in The Union the following correction,
which we hasten, and with great satisfaction, 10
lay before our readers:
"A BupG.r or BLuSDERs.-Several mssae-
men's, which appear 10 have originated in This CT
ly, are now in circulation in the newspareIs.-
Such as that General Taylor has been recalled
from The army OF Mexico, and thai he has been
ordered TO Washington Such, loo, is The rumor
said 10 be founded on the authority OF Comma
durc Perry, that The Castle Of San Juan de Ul-
oa ia not 10 be attacked, and also that Comma
dore Perry will not return 10 The Gulf OF Mexi-
co.. Such too, is the rumor that government
is in possession of The ultimate conditions on
which Mexico will consent 10 make peace with
the United States, and that il has determined 10
acccde 10 them, if Congress, will enable the Exc
cu,ive 10 meet the views Of Mexico We know
not upon what authority these things have been
reported; but certain ii is do not believe there
is any adequate authority or foundation for either
of these statements"

Every arrival from Mexico goes 10 prove the
truth Of The prediction, that The course pursued by
the Wing presses and politicians Of This country
Daniel Webster beyond all,) in denouncing The
war as ".he Presidents war;" and as "upjusI,
alrocious and damnable," has had the effect OF
cheering on the infatuated obstinacy of Mexican
rulers, and in uniting their people in determined
hostility against US. They see in these anti
American demonstrations what they regard as
positive evidence of The justice OF their cause
and endless aud incurabe dissensions among our
own people. The DiariO, the official organ Of
Mexico, OF the Doth December, comments upon
extracts from American papers, e1aggeraling
the expenditures occasioned by the war, and the
difficulty of procuring loans. 1t says:
"This proves that the position oil the United
States, with respect to pecunary resources, is no,
so advantageous as some suppose. The war is
much more costly 10 them Than to us; and they
are compelled therefore, TO make great sacrifices
We infer from this, that il Mexico makes an ef-
tort-if the sovereign Congress should gran; re-
sources TO The Government, and il all classes Of
society are prepared 10 contribute, in proportion
10 the exigency OF affairs, our situation is mol
hopeless, and we may yet prevail over our enc
mics"
In the same article il refers 10 the threat Of an
impeachment OF Mr.. Polk, and says:
ain our opinion this is highly important as it
shows what Is the opinion entertained even in The
United States with regard TO the injustice of the
war carried on against Mexico"

RICH MOND, VA.
Saturday Morning, January %, is47.

The news from Europe by the Quebec is in
,ereslins, so far as It shows The continued ad-
vance of the grain markets in all the European
cities, as also rise in the price Of cotton, equal
(say the New York calcualors) 10 an increase OF
million and half dollars on the whole cotton
crop of the United States. The mostremarkable
rise is in Indian corn; which has reached price
far above our American estimates of the value
of that article OF food it being sold al The price OF
ordinary wheat.
We hear much from the Wing press Of the
ruinons measures Of the present administration;
but when we look al the above facts, the in
creased revenue from customs, The shipment Of
specie from England to the United States
(amounting, it is said, 10 ten millions
Of dollars, Tor our exporls) which must
keep the exchange down, The easy and healthy
state Of the money market, the numerous manu.
featuring enterprises recently established 10 every
direction, and the Furnishing condition OF those
in existence; we may well doubt whether the
people can complain Of the "ruin" produced by
the Administration measures, which are now in
full force, in the midst Of the present universal
prosperity. A New York letter in The New Or
leans Commercial Times draws picture which
all must assent 10, and which presents the
"panic" predictions Of the Wings in most ridi-
culous view:
"Thc export trade has been prosperous beyond
precedent, and has added in a most marked degree
10 the wealth Of the nation The new year dawns
upon us with bright prospects, whether 10 be
realized or not is enveloped in The mystery o. The
future. The flow of specie hilher, the enhanced
value OF cotton, bread>ufs and all agricultural
produces with The almost ceraint, OF continued
demand until the tate Of the next Europea har-
vest is decided-the immense burden from which
the industry Of the country is relieved BY the mo-
di6calion of The new 1'arif-combiGed, would
insure remarkable slate Of prosperity. There
exists n single drawback-the war. We rus
ere long it may be removed BY the restoration OF
