THE BACHELORS COMPLAINT.
An unfortunate individual laments his solitar,
tate in the following sianzas, the concluding ont
# which indicates that we may still have hopes o
inn: -.~ .
Returning home at close Of day, --
Who gently chides my long delay,
And by my side delights to stay!

Who sets for me the easy chair,
Sets out the room with neatest care,
And lays my slippers ready there
Nobody.
Who regulates the cheerful fire.
And piles the blazing fuel higher,
And bids me draw my chair still higher
Nobody.
When plunged in dire and deep distress,
And anxious cares my heart oppress,
Who whispers hopes of happiness?
$780,. Nobody.
When anxious thoughts within me rise,
. And in dismay my spirit dies,
Who soothes me by her kind replies!

When sickness racks my feeble frame, e..
And grief distracts my feeble brain,
Who sympathises with my pain! ..-

& Then II resolve, SO help ME Fate,
i TO change at once the single state,
And will to Hymen's altar take

LATE FROM MExIco.-The British mail
steamer Tay, from Vera Cruz for South
ampton, touched at Ship Island, below New
Orleans, on the Goth ult. She brings dates
from the City of Mexico to the 18th, and
from Vera Cruz to the 10Th ult.
Passengers who arrived by the Tay say
that the Treaty of Peace H1 cerAinly be
ratified by the Mexrarf ngress. They
further state that the Treaty would be final
" acted on the 25lh May, when it was
generally supposed that the vote would be
81 Deputies for the ratification and IA for
continuing the war.
General Herrera had been elected Presi-
dent of Mexico, in opposition to his own
inclination.
Pena Pena, the late President, in a
lengthy message, strenuouslv advocated the
ratification of the Treaty. He takes bold
position, and declares everything to be Sc
condary to the question of peace or war;
He further argues that the terms proposed
by the United States are milder than could
have been expected, and that Mexico had
no reason to presume that the stipulalions
would be modified.
There was more than quorum of the
Mexican Congress at QueretaIo there being
33 Senators and Is Deputies in daily a'ten-
dance. The Treaty was to be discussed
with closed doors.

the Germans, having broken faith with the
Poles, IN certain concessions granted to
them, the latter flew to arms
A succession of the fiercest battles has
been fought-.he two last, at Xionx and at
Miloslaw, have been frigh,fully bloody
The carnage of the first battle was only ex-
ceeded by that of the second.
The Prussians had ten thousand men,
whilst the Poles were mere handful, and
yet the slaughter was terrific. The Prussi-
ans were beaten. The whole province of
Posen was in arms, and that city is not I'M
likely to be taken by the Poles.
Between the latter and the Germans the
iercest animosity subsisls; the Poles have
refused TO send any delegates to the Diet,
and in fact, ALLURE all connection with the
Germans. Prussia seems TO be in a deplo-
rab,e state, from Treves to Posen; and the
distress at Berlin is intense.
The youth of Germany, however, flushed
with success at their exploits it Holstein-
Schleswigg, seem to have contracted the
war mania, and are looking out for fresh
fields Of glory
The Queen of Portugal has issued de-
cree, appointing commission to carry into
effect the abolition of slavery in the Portu-
guese ultra-marine possessions.
HUNGARY AND BoHEMIA-All the &C
counts from Hungary and Bohemia represent
those Kingdoms as complete victims of an
archy In the former, particularly, the pea
san,ry are in open revolt, and the mobiles
have ranged themselves on their side.
GREEcE.-This little kingdom was on
the high road to revolution, insnrrectloary
movements having broken out in various
quarters. The financial affairs of the Co
vernment were in the worst possible condl-
ton. The national bank has been aulho:
rized to suspend specie movements.

THE ORE CON MAssACRE.-The cause of
the massacre of the American missionary
DR.. Whitman and his family, is thus given
in letter from Fort Vancouver
Our lamented friend, DR.. Whitman and
his amiable and accomplished lady, with
nine other persons, have fallen victims to
the fury of these remorseless savages, who
appear to have been ins,gated to this ap-
pallng crime by horrible suspicion which
had taken possession Of their superstitious
MINDS IN consequence of the number of
deaths from dysentery and measles, that Dr..
Whitman was silently working the des,ruc-
ton OF their tribe, by administering poison
Gus drugs under the semblance of salutarv
medicines.
In subsequent paper, we find complete
list OF the persons killed on this occasion,
which is here annexed
DR.. Whitman, Mrs. Whitman, MIR. Rogers.
Mr.. Hoffman, Mr.. Sanders, (schoolmastcr)
Mr. Marsh. John Sager and Francis Saeer,
(you,hs) Mr.. KimbaIl, Mr. Gellen, Mr.. Bew-
ley, Mr.. Young, Jr., Mr.. Sales, Mr.. Hall.
(supposed to have been killed at John DAYS
river.)
Mr.. Ogden, of the Hudson Bay Company,
Immediately after the massacre, succeeded
in gathering council of the chiefs, TO whom
he made speech, in which he depicted the
enormity of their crime, told them the GER
tainty of the punishment which awaited
them should the Americans 60 to war with
them, and counseled them to give up their
prisoners. The chiefs replied; and then it
was agreed that they should deliver up the
captives within six days, on the promise of
a ransom being paid for them. Speeches
were also made in the intermediate time to
the Nez Perces, and they agreed to deliver
up MIR. Spalding and his family.

THE TOBACCO CRop.-The editor Of the
Marlboro Gazette complains that we have
not copied an article from his paper of the
18th instant, designing to correct an unIn-
territorial error in our review OF the tobacco
market, which error was corrected in the
succeeding review before his paper reached
us. The principal fact designed to be set
forth in the article in the Marlboro Gazette
is as follows:
cit may safely be inferred, however, that
from the causes above 81 anced at, there will
not be an average crop grown in Maryland
this year."
There is now no doubt that the crop
both of Maryland and Ohio, in 1913, will
stagna,ion in the tobacco market, caused by
the political changes in Europe, letters from
different parts of the tobacco growing dis
trcts of Maryland have been received, ex-
pressing the determination of the planters
to make less tobacco than usual The cir.
culars sent by some of our commission
merchants to their friends in Ohio, have had
the effect of checking their preparations for
large crops in that State, and the probabili-
ty is that the crop there will be under the
average.
The price Of tobacco will hereafter be
governed less by the amount of the crop
than by foreign demand. Within short
time past some Of our commission merchants
addressed letter 10 the Secretary of State,
calling his attention to the enormous duties
in Europe, and suggesting to him that some
change might now be effected through the
applications Of the American Mlnlsters.-
The reply of Mr.. BUCHANAN s,a,es that the
subject has already been under consdera-
ton, and would be again urged, the letter
from the Baltimore merchants being in the
meantime forwarded to the ministers abroad.
The reduction of the duties on tobacco in
Europe will affect prices here far more than
any domestic cause.-Baltimore american.
The Alexandria Gazette says: We regret
to learn, that in consequence Of the French
revolution, and the troubles on the Cont
nent, the prospects are exceedingly unfavor-
able for Tobacco for the present year. Let
ters by the last steamer, say the stock in
Amsterdam was 5000 hhds OF Maryland,
besides Virginia and Kentucky; 5000 hhds
in Rotterdam; and 10000 hhds in Bremen;
and no sales making except in triAing lots
of 20 to so hhds. Letters from Amsterdam
say that prices are only sustained by the
firmness of holders; and there is no doubt
If sale was forced, prices would decline
from 20 to 80 per cent, and as there is no
getting rid of the old stock, they do not re-
commend any shipments. Houses in Hol-
land refuse to receive consignments or make
advances. The stock Of Maryland and Ohio
Tobacco is so large, lying over in Baltimore
and elsewhere, and although the crop tc
come to market is very small one, still, il
the Planters continue to make their usua
crops, with no foreign demand, we do no
see the slightest chance of effecting sales a
remunerating prices. 1t would be better
therefore, to make mixed crop, part To
bacco, and part Wheat, Corn, sc.
