The specimens Of gold dust and ore recently
received from California have been, this day,
sent off to the mint al Philadelphia, in order that
their quality may be tested, and that, if found
TO be pure, they may be worked up into The me-

was afforded The opportunity ofexamining them,
that there need be no doubt at all OF their being
genuine native gold.
The gold mania seems to have seized upon
our population IN very much the same manner
in which the adventurous spirits of Spain, Por-
tugaI, and England became possessed with the
spirit of exploration in America, directly after
the first discovery of the precious metals, three
centuries ago. In every one of our eastern ci.
ties associations are forming for emigration to
California. Even in the quiet old borough oil
Alexandria, our near neighbor, young men are
calling upon their neighbors, through the papers,
to make ready for the start for California, for

GEN. ScorT.-A writer in the Savan-
nah Republican comes out very pungent-
ly against President Polk for suspendng
the functions of Gen. Scott at this criti-
cal period of his command in Mexico.
He closes as follows:
"But the glory of the General cannot
suffer any thing beyond temporary e,
clipse. His enemies-those who admin
lister the Government-may tease and
worry and annoy him, and while they
vex and sting him, enjoy the triumph of a
petty hatred, but he will have his station
in history. He will be recorded to all
time as an illustrious commander, by the
side of the most illustrious, as fairly rank
ing in his military renown by the side of
him to whom no man is to be compared
but with reverential Difference. He will
be recorded as gallant soldier wise
commander, a humane and Christian gen.
tleman, and men in after times will in
quire who was President when ScoTT
conquered Mexico2"

TnIs.-We have now in Mexico be-

sides existing authority to raise several
thousand men and fill up the reduced reg
iments now in the field. Mexico is pros

raising one, to hight us. So humble in

by $50 American troops, and the estab-
lishmentof m,red government of the
civil and military over them without re.
sistance.
In addition to this, military operations
are suspended, by Treaty of Peace,
which has been received by the Presi-
dent. and by him communicated to the
Senate.
Now THAT.-Gen. Cass, the Chair
man of the Military Committee, while
the Treaty is before the Senate, with hot
haste, presses the passage of the bill to
raise ten additional .regiments-tent thous-
and more mentor the vigorous prose
cution of the Mexican war!
Put this and that together, and what
does il msan2 More troops are surely
not wanted drafted. the Mexicans are
conquered. hostilties are suspended, q
Treaty of Peace is. Why then the me-
cessity of ten more regimentsl Is it to
make powerful demonstration to frigh-
ten the subdued Mexicans," as Mr.. SEN
ator Cass declared? Most assuredly not.
The secret and true reason for all this is,
that large amount of Executive patron
age is connected with the ten regiment
Bill; hundreds of greedy partisan politi-
clans are crying for "spoils," and are i'm
patiently waiting for Commissions in the
ten regiments. A Presidential election
is approaching; "help"is wanted, and
therefore desperate effort is to be made
to pass an unnecessary bill, to extend
Executive patronage. Such is the mean
ing and object of this and that ,ohen put

The Treaty Ratified.

The Baltimore Patriot, of the 1lth
says:
The Treaty Of Peace and Cession con.
cluded between the Commissioner Of
the United States and Mexico, which has
been for two weeks under debate in the
Senate, was ratified by vote. it is un.
derstood, Of SS yeas to Is nays-two-
thirds of the Senate being the number re-
quired to carry it.
The National Intelligencer says that
though the Treaty is thus ratified, the
injunction of secrecy has not been remov-
ed, either from the Treaty or the pro-
ceedings under il, because being incom.
plete until it has the sanction also of the
Government Of Mexico, the usages of
Nations requires that the particulars of
the Treaty should not be divulged. But
no one doubts that the main features of
the Treaty are substantially such as we
have heretofore stated.
1t is quite necessary however, to be
borne in mind, that not only is the ratifi-
cation by Mexico wanting to give effect
to the treaty. but amendments have been
made TO it mot affecting either the Peace
the Cession of Territory, or the Consd.
Grafton to be paid for t) which require
the assent of Mexico before the Treaty
can become binding upon the United
States or upon her.
The Washington Correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American. in letter
dated the 9th, states that the following
amendments at that the time, had been
made to the treaty:
A substitute has been adopted for the
9th article, relative to religious grants in
California. so as to offend no sectarian
sentiment, and to afford unrestrained toI-
Grafton to religious opinion, in the ceded
territory. This obviates decided OBJ
lection.
Another difficulty has also been re-
moved. A clause in the treaty provides
that this territory should be Incorporated
into the Union as soon as possible This
has been amended by substituting 'as
soon as proper and suitable" leaving the
discretion absolutely in Congress and i'm
posing no obligation of immediate ad-
mission in territorial capacity.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Calhoun. and
other distinguished men, that California
and New Mexico cannot fit themselves
for States under twenty years; while there
are others, of equally eminent position,
who extend the time to thirty years.
One or two incidental amendments may
be adopted, besides those already car.
ried, but the treaty will be ratified in the
main. with the alterations l have already
presented.
II will be some time before the action
Of the Mexican Government upon the a.
mended Treaty can reach us. In the
mean time the public will be in great sus.
pense and many an anxious heart will
pray that this may end the War.
