THE TREATY oF PEACE.

The annexed just reflections on the return OF
peace with Mexico are extracted from an editorial
article of the Milledgevie Recorder:
For the restoration of peace we offer thanks to
Providence. To say nothing of the great moral,
physical, and national evils of war. war is so un-
natural position for this young, independent, and
onward country, that its infection is 10 1t as the
ague to the human body, shaking it and making it
'look blue and TO feel vastly uncomfortable, with
out actually prostrating il or stopping its ordinary
avocaons, but bringing great discomfort and leav-
ing, in all probability, strong symptoms of dropsy
and disorganization behind. We hail the peace Of
the country with qualification but not with the
less indignation at the conduct of those who I'M
necessarily and reckessly entailed the evil on us :
nor without looking forward with deep anxiety TO
the evils which in prospect before US, as the
result of the war, and which even peace cannot
= obviate.
From the conquest part OF the business we great
'ly fear will flow no ordinary amount of mischief.
We shall not, however, at this moment dwell on
this topic. The evils we fear will present them
selves soon enough; indeed, they are already in
dcated portentously enough. Our present chief
: hope rests on this that Congress will, for vet
long time to come, let the conquest remain as il is,
and refuse even territorial government till more
1propitous times. This may stay for time the
evils which even the blindest cannot fail TO know
threaten u.s."

Upon this result Of the offering for the Loan, the
Union remarks as follows:
When we compare this result with the loss of orty-six
millions of dollars by discounts the Government loans du
ring the Of 1872 shown by the Committee Of Ways
and Means in their report Congress Of $780, and the sale
Of and threequaer millions Of dollars of United
States six per twenty stock loss by discount
of ~ per late ls42 in time Of profound peace
the premium of half million Of dollars realized the pre-
loan be subject Of universal congratuaton by
Of all parties throughout the country"
Certainly we may all congratulate ourselves that
the Government has made money, instead of losing
ii, by this transaction. The official news of Peace
with Mexico, the Union thinks, must greatly have
increased the premium. We doubt it. The fact
effect of which capital is seeking investment in
Government stocks in this country, where it is less
exposed to fuctuation in value, and to possible loss,
is doubtless the governing motive of the European
houses. They, when they gave their orders, could
not know what to depend upon in regard to the
/ Peace question, then undetermined. They placed
confidence in Messrs. Corcorna &. Riggs, and that
they acted wisely in the selection of their agents is
shown by the result. The terms on which the
Loan has been taken, SO far from being favorable
to the borrower, greatly so to the lenders. The
premium is not greater than that which the fUe per
cent stock Of the State of Massachusetts commands
at this moment. For a stock at the same rate OF
interest five per cent? the Government of the Uni
ted States ought to have commanded quite as large
a premium as they are now 10 receive on this new
six per cent. Loan.
1t is the contractors, probably, therefore, and not
the Government who are to be the great gamers by
this Treasury operation.
