strGctiens they have erected so far could
be kicked over with the foot. The city
had been placed under martial law. and
the direct excuses were anticipated. The
citizens had all been called upon to take
up arms in the common defence, but un-
fortunately nine.tenths of them had no
arms to take up. Nor were there any
cannon at the capital other than few
small and indifferent pieces.
There is certainly party, and an In
fluential one, in Mexico, which begins to
talk of peace and where four weeks
stree they did not dare breathe their SEN
timents, they now como out openly and
avow themselves. Still the measure is
far from popular.

Since the diligeneia went out at noon
to-day for Vera Cruz, another diligencia
has come in from the city OF Mexico full of
passengers, and bringing news of not
little Importance.
AL the passengers confirm what | wrote

capital there was no government, no or.

Anaya was still President pro tem, but
had neither influence nor authority. A
new President is to be elected on the 18th
of the present month-the tenth chief

the fact.

upon the roads, especially between Puebla
and the city Of Mexico. The same pas:
seRgsFs were robbed the other day no less
than seven times in one stage, and the in.
ference is,that the last robbers must have
had rather poor picking if the first were
very searching in their operations. The
diligencia in which Mr.. Kennedy came
down was robbed twice on the road.

a Mr.. Gallagher. man who has traded
q good deal in this country, was missed
by his friends about week since, and the
general supposition was that he had been
murdered. Last night he came in, and
gives most interesting account of his
capture and detention by the Mexicans.--
He was taken by party of rancheros
near Paso do Ovejas, and after narrowly
escaping with his life, and after being
robbed Of nearly every thing he had, was
finally escorted to Orizaba. He did not
see Santa Anna there, but says that he
was reported as near by and with force
of 5000, which was rapidly increasing.
Many of the soldiers he himself saw, and
one of the officers to his sorrow for the
latter robbed him of every thing the ran
cheros had left him. To make some
amends for this, however, he connived at
Gatlagher's escape. The latter was near
the spot where the Mexicans attacked the
wagon train last week, prisoner at that
time. He says that the rancheros were
very much disappointed because all our
men did not run off Immediately and leave
The wagons.
Gen. Quitman, with three volunteer
regiments, leaves this morning for Perote,
and on Monday at farthest it is thought
that General Worth will take up the line
of march for Puebla.

going on this place, this spring. A mum.
Der of new buildings have been erected.
and we expect in . few weeks, to see
some of the activity of former years res
torsd in building. Houses are much
needed; and money laid out for their
erection would be profitable investment,
Judging from the high prices paid for rent.
The County Commissioners are build
ing Court House, which. when finished,
will reflect honor upon the county, and be
an ornament to this place. The work,
through the energy of the managers, is
progressing finely. It is built of stone,
and from the care which, SO far, has been
taken in preparing them in a workmanlike
manner, il certainly. will make splendid
appearance when completed. The build.
els propose, if the citizens Of this place
will furnish bell. to place it in the stee-
pie, free of charge. This we trust, will
be assented to, when we consider the adj
vantages the town derives from the i'm.
provement, and it is no mors than justice
that Joliet should buy it. We hope our
citizens will take some action in regard
to this matter.
There are already three large and COM
modious Churches, and we understand an.
other is to be built during the summer.
The place is, at present, well provided
with Schools. There is a common school
on each side ofthe river, and through the
e1ertions of Messrs. Stone and Randall,
the Teachers, are acquiring a prominen.
position. Over hundred scholars attend
each, who are progressing finely. The
combined exertions of our citizens should
be used to provide for the educational
wants of our increasing population. Our
system of common schools cannot be too
much appreciated, and every measure
which will contribute to their advancement
should be considered and their necessity
| impressed upon the community. The
prosperity of our institutions rest upon the
people generally; and therefore, every due
exertion should be resorted to, TO promote
the intelligence of the masses, and thor
ough common school system is the only
means by which it can be acquired.
A Female Seminary has just been
opened in the place, and from the high
position which its managers have occu-
pied in similar institution east, will
doubtless be sustained by the communi,
ty. And besides this, there is select
school, for females, under the superinten.
dence of Mrs Fuller, of which we hear
the most favorable reports. 1t has been
opened some months, and we learn that
the scholars during that time. have made
rapid ARRANGEMENTS.
The advantages of Joliet taken togeth.
err, are such, if rightly understood, as to
induce emigrants, who wish to make a
profitable investment of capital. The
completion Of the cansl-the agricultural
wealth which is contained in the surround.
ing country-the beautiful site-and the
pre.eminent privileges for water power,
combined, certainly render our town not
inferior to any other point in the west.--
The time to purchase lots to advantage is
now, and emigrants should avail themsel-
yes of the opportunity.

The noble steamer Old Hickory, Capt.
Stettinius, arrived yesterday from New
Orleans, bringing papers of the 20th.--
We are indebted to our friends on board
for full files. There had been two arri-
walls from Vera Cruz, and we make mum.
Der OF extracts trem the Picayune.
II is the opinion, says that paper, of
officers just returned from Mexico-and
we may mention the name of Gen. Pat
teHson in this connection-that the prob
ability of cenqueFing a peace upon the
plan of warfare hitherto pursued is slen-
der indeed. 1t is thought by them that
an army of forty Thousand, rank and file,
should be in the field that captured cities
should be put under the jurisdiction of
American citizens; that the revenues of
the State should be seized to defray the
expenses of the war that all the resour-
ceS pertaining to the Government should
be held as spoils of war, and that the mil
itGTy authority set up by the United States
army should exercise all the powers of
taxation and legislation belonging to the
civil administration ofthe country. This
plan embraces the idea of actual conquest
and absolute jurisdiction, and is deemed
the only feasible one of bringing the war
TO close.
Il is the belief Of Gen. Patterson and
others who have given the subject large
consideration, that an authority embracing
all the necessary attributes ofsovereignty,
set up in Mexico, could collect revenue
equal to its wants and that the people of
that country can alone be brought TO their
senses by the exhibition ofsuch an author
