MONTEREY, M.xic", Jan. Is, lS4S.
MEssRs. EDrToRs I'VE have at last som.
faint gI'm'nerlngs Of peoce. Col C,rrusco is
now in this city. with nmic,ble pr"po.sls To
General Wool. The Colonel Is an officer o. tn.
Mexican army. and comes here 40 an agent o'
CGnal,s Hear we'd ycsterd,y mornias early,
changed his unborn for q citizens dre.s, and
proce-ded Immediately 10 head quarters.
The proposition he makes is 10 the effect. tha,
the throe STATES in Gen. Wool's division, Nue
va Leon. Coahu'la snd TrmauliP,s, shall unite
and form su nd"pcn lent Govern nent. friendly
to tile Interests Of the United Stute.. Thi- G..
vernnent will be under the admin 'siratmn ~
Canacs aud sustained by the American forces.
as in return it will sus,ain them in iter efforts
10 bring about ar h"ro'shle peace. Should th.
proposition be hvor.b'y rrc.iv-,i, It is m"r.
IN the same manner. under the snnc,ion oi our
| authorities. until an entirely new lace will b"
put upon the state o. affairs.
Under the present aspect, as the rovrrnmen,
now is, any one who has given the subject .
moments reflection must see ,hst We can never
effect peace. We can conquer Msa'c". hui
we can never bring the people to terms. The
present government must be- overihruwn n. and q
new one established by us. or with onr ssnc,ion
or the war will continue for years upon years
1 We con either form q government ourselves, OF
we can rec"cnizc one formed by NJ xican.
friendly 10 our interests, a government which
will be bound by interest as well as honor, tc
come 10 immediate terms. Between these two
plans there is in fact but little difference still
the latter 10 evidently the only one we can a
dept
| The arrival Of C,rrasco. which, understand
will very som be followed by that OF Canales il
person. which gives me the lmpressi,n that ,hi'
plan has also suggested itsrf, a. the ,nnst fessi
be and least ohj ctionable. TO the Mexican
tte,n,elves II will certainly b. le-s wouodin
to the s,sonRss, feeling of ,h. people. their na
,iona. pride. than any other course which coul.
be adopted.
Of Cansles know hut little more than tha
he 10 man Of considerable tact. firmness an'
policy. with not ton great share Of honesty. A
one time, We see him plain lawyer and sur
veyor Of lands, st snoiher general survryin!
his troops-now comma snding the forces of
separate Republic. and again. a general unde
the Central government-at one time an escs
ped prisoner from the vaults of the prison Of tn
Il QUESTION. and at snoher the robber chief q
armed gurrillas, troubling our forces and train
in every posssible manner. But in every pos
tor, there is something striking about him. II
10 evidently q man OF some genius aud gres
amb ton. He has disccrnment 10 zee that h
can make but little capital in the present stat
Of things in Mexico. and wit enough 10 kao
. that his only hope 10 with the Americans HeDe
, his present proposition. To be Governor Of .
. independent Republic, he wOald Join with
|, either against Mexico. OF with Mexco he wou
!. come 10 terms OF peace such ss we should di
10 late. IL We msy not like 10 trust such ma
