Tho News from Mexico.

We rive. in another column, the most recent
news from Mexico, which is somewhat OF an
important character. The minors which have
been circulated in reference to difficulties be-
tween General Scott and some of his generals,
are now confirmed We much fear that great
deal of mischief will spring out OF these dlffi-
culties between our generals. When there was
nothing to do but fight the enemy, the road was
plain and simple; but after the conquest OF Mex
leo, when the generals and the army are re-
posing themselves upon their laurels, there Will
be talking about everything--politics included
and then difficulties will arise. We may
look for more courts-martlal. General scott
is brave man, great military genius;
but he wants that moderation and common sense
in other matters, which appear to be the pecu-
liar characteristics of General Taylor. Old Rough
and Ready has also had many difficulties to con-
tend with-more than General Scott has had
vet he has preserved his dignity, and kept the
generals under him in perfect order.
As regards the news received, so tar as peace
is concerned, we do not see any near prospect OF
it Mexico is IN a most deplorable condition.
Wherever the American army is, there ID peace,
order and quiet, among them; but no where else
Ia the interior States and Provinces, which have
not vet been invaded we fad nothing but records
of revolution, bloodshed, riot, and confusion,
among the Mexlcans themselves. They must be
ia horrible condition, indeed, and there ID
little prospect of peace, from any quarter, as yet
In such condition Of things, what action will
Congress take! What will be done! And yet
we must do someth As regards Mr.. T oil
himself. we believeth at all his resources are ex-

TAKE CARE.-A gentleman residing in the
upper part of Broadway, hearing, soon after din
ner yesterday, newsboy cry out Here's the
Extra 'Erald, got great news from Mexico"
sent out his servant to purchase one: He found
the boy on the corner of one of the
cross streets, selling them off quite ra-
pldly, to several gentlemen who were anx-
ious to read the news. The servant bought
copy and took it home, when it was found to
be p half sheet Of the third edition of the Iri-
61me, with some Mexican intelligence, the tele-
graphic report of which appeared in the Herald,
on Sunday last. The little rascals who thus
cheat the public, ought not to be tolerated by the

most unprecedented. We do not believe that
the members of Congress at Washington are
aware of the position in which they stand, or
know exactly what to do. No peace can be
made with Mexico-the war must be prosecuted
the army must be supported--more troops must
be sent there-more expenses incurred, both by
way of loan and by taxes; and while these drains
are going on, there is every prospect, from the
action of the financial interests of London and
Paris, that the drain will be continued on the
United States for our specie, to an extent that
has not taken place for many years past. Look
ing on all these things with eye of calm
ness and philosophy, we must say and believe,
that our position is even worse than what 1t vas
in 1867, inasmuch as we have foreign war on
our hands, IN addition to the disturbance Of the
financial affairs of Europe, all acting, and play
ing, and concentrating on the money markets Of
the Atlantic cities, at one and the same time.
While, therefore, such shallow minds as the
money market reporter of the Courier S- En-
quirsr, who cannot see beyond the other end Of
Wall street. state that all those reasons and views
are visionary, the more exalted and philosophi-
cal minds, acquainted with every department of
life, admit the truth of what we say, and wish
to prepare for the coming storm We say, again,
that the banking institutions of this country
have perilous time before them, and if they
escape suspension within the next eighteen
months, it will be through the interposition
OF kind Providence. Now we ask any one
in Wall street, or out of it, if he ever knew in
stance where Providence interposed to stop
bank from breaking, when it deserved to break
by bad management. We know of none. From
the promulgaton of the first chapter of Genesis,
down to the latest edition of the Extra Herald,
we know of none.
We ask, therefore, what is to be done-we
ask Congress; we ask the politicians, the finan-
ciers the spectators, the saints and the rogues,
the pious and the good-we ask all, what is to
be done

So sill the scene, each wskeiul sound,
Seems hallowed music breathing round.

And 10 their ocean depths The waves
Are gone, their holy rest 10 keep.

Are peaceful as their Makers love,
Like hills Of everlasting green;
And clouds like earthly barriers STAND,

Or hangs its pensivc head from nis9'
Seems bending al lis morning prayer,
Or whispering with The hours gone by!--'
This holy morning, Lord, is thine;

Lei heaven and earth in love combine,
And morning Stars their music raise
For It's The day-jfy-yc dead
When death and he'll are captive led!
