extra session of the Senate, and this news
will probably shorten his visit TO the North.
This is an important fact, aud we have no

There probably is some foundation OF

of random conjecture, especially as Gene

Omoa to Tofoa)ca be passed with steam
ers Of a certain size. There will thus be
only about 200 miles of Railroad.
The cost of such route is estimated a
less than four million of dollars, while Mr.
Whitney's project of Road to Oregon
would require for its completion some six.
ty-fvc millions. Besides, the two Oceans
via Honduras would be within IL hours of
each other-whiIe eight days would be
consumed in passing from one 10 the other
by means Of Mr.. Whi'ney's intcrcommu-
nication.
The face of the country, according to
the Courier's statement, is well calculated
for the easy construction of Road; and,
as if by providential arrangement, guar.
ries Of stone, mines Of iron, and other ne
cessaries for such purpose, are scattered

The Proposed Treaty toith Merico.-
The Washington Union says that any
treaty Of peace which may be concluded
between The Uuied States and Mexico,
must embrace, in some form, Indemnity
for past injuries, and for the war itself, TO-
gelher with due security for The future
peace and good neishborhood of the TWO
countries Italso says, there is no reason
10 suppose that any treaty of peace which
will be made. will undertake, in the slight
est degree, to interfere with the internal
poIity of Mexico.' This last we are glad 10
hear. 1t would be the greatest folly in the
world for US TO undertake 10 guaranty any
thing to Mexico-even Republican form
to Government. Should other nations al.
tempt TO force monarchical form of go
vernment under her against her will, the
Uuitod States might feel obliged to inter
fere 10 preven, it; but if the people Of Mex
leo want monarchy. an aristocracy, or
even dngocracy, by all means let them
be accommodated. The United States
can find better business that attempting to
force upon Mexico even a good thing.
Some would take this opportunity to Sec
ure religious federation in Mexico, the free
ofthe Scriptures, SC. But We
say no-noi. by force. Let France pro
pasale what she calls religion by force if
she will. but not the United States. Meth
er lie, US become security for any Mexican
who may be elevated 10 The supreme
power, not for The tranquility oflhe coun-
Try. If we become responsible for Mexico
in auy way, we shall have trouble.-Jour-
nal Of Commerce.
