Arati6ed copy of the Treaty of Peace
was received by the Government, on the
4th inst. We published the Treaty when
it was before the Senate and will not be
expected to insert it again. In consider
alton of the extension of our boundary,
the United States pay to MexicoSl5, ,OOO,-
900. Three were paid to Mexico upon
the ratification ofihe Treaty-the balance
is to be paid in four equal annual install
ments with six per cent. interest. In ad-
dition to this, the United States assume
all the claims, which our citizens hold
against Mexico. These claims, accord
ing to Locofoco authority. reach several
millions of dollars.
The following is the article defining
the boundary line. Those, who have
maps, can trace it.
The boundary line between the two
Republics shall commence in the Gulf Of
Mexico, three leagues from land, opposite
the mouth of the Rio Grande, otherwise
called Rio Bravo del Norte, or opposite
the mouth of its deepest branch, if it
should have more than one branch empty
ing directly into the sea; from thence up
the middle of that river, following the
deepest channel, where it has more than
one, to the point where it strikes the
southern boundary of New Mexico;
thence westwardly. along the whole south
ern boundary of New Mexico, (which
runs north of the town called Passo) to its
western termination; thence, northward
along the western line of New Mexico,
until it intersects the first branch of the
river Gila; Tor if it should not intersect
any branch Of that river. then to the point
on the said line nearest TO such branch,
and then in direct line to the same;)
thence down the middle ofthe said branch
and ofthe said river, until it empties into
the Rio Colorado; thence across the Ric
Colorado, following the division line be.
tween Upper and Lower California, to
the Pacific ocean.
The southern and western limits o.
New Mexico, mentioned in this article
are those laid down in the map entitled
"Map of the United States, as organized
and defined by various acts of the Con
gress of said republic, aud constructed
according to the best authorities. Re.

LETTER FROM GEN. TAYLOR To ABBOTT

Mr.. EditOr-I perceive that you ask for

The "evidence" is contained in letter
from Gen. Taylor to Mr. Lawrence, and
though this letter is, believe private,
still It certainly ought to be published.
In one place he says in effect, and l
think in so many words, that he sis

Whig." while in another place are these
very words: If elected to tie Presidency

These words kno,o to be contained in
this letter, and if | mistake not there is
more to the same effect. / hope you will

Tno Moior Generals I'm tho Army

A letter from Washington in the New
York Journal of Commerce says:
1t is provided by an existing law, that
the President, upon the conclusion of
treaty, shall designate one Major General
who shall go out of the army, and two
Brigadier Generals. The House passed
bill repeating this proviso. Mr.. Benton
has reported this bill with an amendment,
suspending the proviso till the 4th of
March, so as to relieve M. Polk from
the duty. He proposes to provide also
that no vacancy shall be filed inthe mean
time. Either Gen. Scott, or Gen Taylor
must, therefore, be designated on the 4th
March by the President inaugurlted on
that day, TO go out of the Army.
General Taylor has expected that the
law would take effect within week or
two from this time, and l learn that he has
taken his measures to meet the emergen-
cy in the manner consistent with the gen.
erosity ofhis character. He has, it is said, 1,
addressed letter to the President, which
will be printed at proper time, resign
ing his own commission in the army, in
behalf ofthe continuance of Gen. Scott, at
the head of the Army. This course was
determined upon by General Taylor be-
fore his nomination by the Philadelphia
Convention.

The CLUMSY DoDGER. ER."-Gen. Cass
has tried his best not to commit himself
on the great questions of Internal Inn
provements. But he is the clumsiest
dodger IN the Locoioco ranks. In his
reply to the Chicago Convention letter,
he informed that body that "circumstsn-
ces would prevent his attending" This
certainly was not very explicit. AT
Cleveland Judge Wood thrust at him the
very pointed inquiry whether he was or
was not, opposed to internal improve
me ntsl Gen. Cass replied, that "the
noise and confusion that prevailed would
prevent his being heard upon that mo-
mentous subject!'
Ifhe had stopped there all would have
been well. But he added:
II hope you have allread the letter
which ! addressed to the National Dem
ocratic Convention. declared that to
be the close Of my political professions"
Here's clue 10 the mystery. In the
letter thus referred TO, Gen. Cass says:
81 have carefully read the resolutions
of the Democratic National Convention,
laying do,on the platform cfoHr political
taith, and adhere to them as firmly as /
approve them cordially"
Now then, what say those resolutions
upon this particular subjectl Here is
one of them.
ResOlced, That the Constitution doesnot
confer upon the General Government: The
po'oer to commence and carry on a gen
eral system 9f Internal improvements"
So the dodger is cornered at last!
With all his anxiety TO evade the ques-
tion, he did not succeed. He stepped
hall around the trap-he put his foot in it
after all! He "adheres firmly to the"
declaration that the Government has
no power to carry on work of inter-
nal improvement! Of course, he would
follow in the footsteps of james K. Polk,
and veto any such bill.-N. Y. Cour. &

favor The legilimalsis are divided be-
tween Theirs and Lamartine. 1t is. o.
course, difficult to say who will be the
successful candidate, but if the election
was soon to take place, little doubt exists
that Lonis Napoleon would be elected
and accordingly the Constitution has been
altered, and the President, instead OF
being elected by the people, will, unless
no has an absolute majority of tho votes

PRIVATE WoRTm.-The following hon
orable estimony respecting Gen. Taylor's
private character, is from source that
de6es partisan detraction:
"At the conference of the Congrega-
tional and Presbyterian ministers of
Hillsboro' county, N. H., assembled on
the l4th of June, the Rev. Mr.. Lamb,
who was formerly chaplain in the army
under Gen. Taylor at Fort Jessup, said
that the opening for him to do good in
the army was through Gen. Taylor, and
that through the Generals influence
temperance society was formed, by
means of which 600 drunkards were re-
formed; that the General told him that
it is all sham for man to pretend he
could not stand the damps and heats OF
the South without spiritious liquors.
Gen I. was a total abstinence man,
and the only commanding officer who
did not drill his troops on the Sabbath.
Mr., Lamb also stated that Gen. I atten-
ded his church regularly, and used no
profane language. Mr. Lamb closed by
saying that he was no politician, nor did
he wish his remarks to be viewed in a
political light; he merely made them to
show that the way for doing good by
tracts, by the temperance cause, and by
the preached word, was opened by Gen
eral TAYLOR"

the service of the day with the following
very appropriate remarks:
"And now, o, Lord, we ask of thee to
protect our favored land, and keep it in
the way of democracy-the good old de-

SOMTHING OUerfot0'NS
Wells.-A correspondent of a Wisconsin
paper, writing from Waukau,i lin that State
makes the following statements:
There are three wells near this place,
discharging fine little rivulets from their
surface. They measure 90, 80 and SO
feet in depth-soil, red mari. You will
hardly believe me when | tell you these
wells discharge double the amount 'Ohen
tie wiad rs South, than they do when
the wind is North; still, the whole neigh
borhood will testify to the fact. The
water in other wells in the vicinity will
rise foot ON the wind blowing good
breeze from the South. Ihave not suffi-
ciently examined the subject to solve
the mistery, but as Rush Lake is within
three miles and on high ground, tits prob
ably the source from which the wells are
supplied, and South wind driving upon
the coarse sands of the beach increases
the discharge ofwater through the sand
into channels which find vent in these
wells.
