There apppears to be something in the at
mosphere OF Mexico to superinduce dissention
and strife. That unfortunate country has not
only been long torn by its own feuds, but 1t
has now to furnish the capital and the space
for feuds among its conquerors. Gen. Worth
began to grow FESTIVE before he had even eros
sed the divisional line marked out by our gov
crnment as the original boundary of Texas; he
ouarreled about rank with Gen. Taylor, and
thereby lost the glory of Palo Alto and Resaca
de la Palma. Old Rough and Ready, with
magnanimity worthy Of all praise, gave Gen.
Worth an opportunity to retrieve his military
character at Monterey, which he calamity
improved Still he is not satisfied. Having
quarreled with Gen. Taylor about rank, he
must need. quarrel with Gen. Scott about
merit; and most unfortunately tor our cause
he finds other Generals in the service more
ambitious of popularity than OF duty-more
willing to quarrel with the commander IN
chief than to push their successes against the
Mexicans. knowing Gen. Scott to be some
what testy old gentleman, they seem to nave
determined to try how far his forbearance
might be virtue. Luckily, perhaps. for the
country, they found him as prompt to decide
upon their case, as upon that OF the Mexican
capital itself; and perhaps "a little more so.
Gen. Scott we'll knows that the best way to
overcome the spirit of characterization, is to
meet it promptly and fearlessly in its incipient
stages We know not what course the gov
eminent may pursue in the matter, when the
subject of these difficulties come before it ; but
we do hope that its decision will be on the
side of proper subordination in the army
If, as it has been limited, it is the intention of
the government to make political capital out
of the unfortunate circumstances referred to,
it will find too late that it has misapprehend-
ed the feelings of the people, and the relative
popularity of the Generals who command our
troops in Mexico. If the Government wishes
its war policy to be effective, let it so for strict
discipline and responsibility among its officers.
and not, on any account, lend itself to any of
those disorganizing heart burnings among
them, the direct tendency of which is to de-
feat our arms and disgrace our policy boston

The route on the Hanover side, down The Pa.

and ravines that run towards the river, and run
on The level land as much as possible, through
Bleak Hill in The upper end OF King William
county, and cross Pamunkey again in Tewnaue,

pense; II will combine every advantage that The
Hanover Court House route can, and will secure

that they have taken pains 10 procure reliable in
formation. Their reasoning upon The subject is
satisfactory 10 my mind
The discussion in Roanoke, between Preston
and our TREND Bayly, gave great satisfaction 10
The Democracy OF that region. The Judge made
a noble speech, whicn fully met The expectations
ut our political friends, and canno, fail TO do
much good in that region. hear equally lavor-
able accounts from the meeting at Fincastc, of
the numbers in attendance, and OF the manner in
