WHAT THE TELEGRAPH CAN Do.-Although the
electric telegraph has been in operation in this
country for considerable time, we apprehend
that there are many in the community who have
but faint idea of its value and importance, as
medium of communicating intelligence. We
would state, for the information of those who
do not appreciate its usefulness and importance,
that by the line from this city to Boston, in Mas
sachusetts, distance of two hundred and fifty
miles, we received the immensely large number of
seven thousand words in the short space three
hours, on recent occasion. This, at first sight.
might appear incredible, but it is positive fact;
and further, we can tell the doubling, that in adj
dition to transmitting this great amount of intel
ligence, fifteen fair and legible copies of it were
made within the same tims-the whole Of
which was done under the direction of Mr.
Beach, the operator in the Boston Office, and
MIR. Bull, the chief operator in the New York
office. The electric telegraph is, without doubt,
the great discovery of the nineteenth century.

MEXICAN AFFAIRs-THE QUARRELs OF OUR
GENKRALs.-The affiirs connected with Mexico
and our conquest of that country, do not interest
the republic TO as great an extent they did pre-
vious to the French revolution. Their interest
is fading every day. There seem to be now
only two points which are calculated to COM
maud any attention from any person; and one
is, whether the treaty will be ratified by the
wreck of the Mexican government still existing;
aud the other point is, when will the quarres
among our generals assume form of decency
asd propriety, and lead to a peaceful termina-
ton
With respect to the first matter-the confrma-
ton of the treaty by the Mexican government
we do not think that it is of much consequence
whether they confirm it or not 1t is pro.
bable, however, that it will be confirmed by
the shadow OF government that may exist
at Quere,aro. 1t is true many persons write
from Mexico. giving different limitations, and
entertaining different opinions; but the re-
cent events in Europe, the entire destruction
OF the French monarchy, and the probable trou-
bles, 1t not revolution, in Spain and else where,
will at once close up every ave nue. of intrigue
which had been opened by Paroles, and those in
Mexico hostile to the United States, and calcu-
lated to protract the war. The Mexicans will
at once that there is no chance for that re-
public but instant submission to any terms that
We may choose to offer them, or their annIhIla-
ton as an independent republic. After all, we
suppose that the amount of money offered to
them, at the rate of three millions per year, for
five years, will always produce a government OF
sufficient strength and standing to confirm the
treaty, and preserve peaceful relations of tole-
rable kind between the two countries, during
the period for which these payments will con-
time.
With regard to the quarrels Of our generals,
and principally that between Generals Scott and
Worth, and others, the public are beginning to en-
terrain but one sentiment, end that is unqualified
and unmitigated contempt iorthe whole. These
gentlemen aud their friends think that they are all
and all-everything that they monopolize the
glory of the two campa gns; and nothing is talk
ID Of but the glory Of Scott, the wonderful
