endeavoring to guard against the sick
ness that always follows the stormy part
of the year. The winter of mirth and en-
| joyment has passed away, and the more
wealthy Of those, who live on the sea
coast, are moving into the interior to es-
cape the sickness; while the poor have
forsaken their fandango's and are doing
penence for the sins they have committed
during the past season. Every family
expecting that some of their members
will not escape the epidemic that visits,
and spreads over the borders of the sea
coast, as often as spring comes, and only
ceasing when the north blast sets in,
which comes with the cherries month
| of November, at which time sorrow and
suffering, is pictured on the countenance
of every individual.
When we consider the peace, prosper
lty and plenty, that always dwell with
the people of Wisconsin, no one can for
one moment doubt but it is one of the
! favored spots ofthe continent. Her land
her citizens and all have advantages that
no other part of the Union has. and as
soon as her common Schools are placed
upon firm basis, she will be the wonder
of the world, and this in her infancy
MIR. Franer the bearer of Dispatches
went up the other day to the Head quar-
tiers of the American Army. He informs
us that public opinion at nome was in ia
vor of peace, and In fact he thought it
probable, that peace would soon be made
Mustang as Mr.. Franer is called, is
very good Judge of such matters. How
ever | am fearful that we will have to
stop during the summer. We have much
10 fear from the climate.
How many happy meetings will there
be, when the care worn soldiers return
to their homes And how many have lett
the scenes of their childhood, full of
bright hopes and vigorous promises 70:
the seat of war, who have gone down 10
the soldiers grave. Every breeze that
passes over their last resting place will
bear honors to the gallant dead
Our neighbors the Guerrllleros came
in day or two ago, and wanted to help
us to protect the citizens both American
Mexicans, and their Col. (Tenoba) said,
ne had received orders from his Govern
ment to suspend hostili.ies, and join in
with the Americans, for the purpose Of
| facilitating the common interest of both
Countries. The bloody chief was infor-
med that we had no use for such a force
Our good Col. Mcclellan not believing
in this kind of "cattle,'' and a very Just
conclusion he came to, from the fact all
they wanted was to steal, and don't YOU
think they did steal some of our best
horses, before they left, and this in broad
day light.
The death of the Hon. John Quincy
Adams has cast gloom over the whole
Army.
Most of the Mexican States are az far
as we know rather inclined to fall in
with the Supreme Government with re-
gard to peace. The latest from the in
terror represents every thing in a state of
confusion in the cabinet, and the Presi-
dent has promised that if the Congress
refuse to ratify the Treaty he will take
the responsibility and ratify it himself
Bat will our Government recognize such
"doings?" If the armistce which Sen.
Worth and Gen. Smith on our part and
Gems. Moray, Villamil, and Quijano on
their part agreed upon, be of good faith
perhaps we may have peace.
Gen. Lane will be down in a few days
and is going home on a furlough. a
large train will be here by the last OF the
week. and | understand large lot of dis
charged Soldiers accompany the Train
down. Thew are bound for the Estates;
Lieut.. Col. Black Penn Vol. has charge
| OF the escort.
see by late papers from the city, and
other parts of Mexico, that Gen. Scott is
highly popular amongst the citizens, and
on the other hand Gen. Butler was not
so much so. 1t was an unfortunate
choice that President Polk made when
Gen. Butler assumed the chief command
though Gen. B. was next in rank, but the
Mexicans, have not the confidence IN the
