The complimentary manner in which some
of my fellow prisoners have mentioned me, to
which allusion is made, | feel TO be, prompted
more by personal friendship than any pecu-
liar merit Of my own. II is and the coun-
try who owe to them, lasting admiration for
their readiness at al! times and at all risks to be
foremost in the service Of their country. Other
men may have reaped more laurels, but none
have deserved more immortal honor than the
soldiers Of Encarnacion.
The honor of generous sympathy and willing
admiration from the people Of my native county ;
those who have known me so long and well,
and who have shown themselves so ready on
many trying occasions 10 stand by me. shall be
sternally treasured rs the greatest reward Of my
humble, but sincere efforts at all times, in peace
and war, to discharge my whole duty as citi-
zen of the Republic.

suitable day TO exchange salutations with nv

BRITIsH NoBLEMEN Lord Palmeston sent
six hundred paupers from his Irish estate, to St.

for their sustenanco, and the greater portion Of
them died of ship fever.
The London Times, in speaking Of this cruel
Punishment of the suffering population of ireland,
by their heartess landlords. says:
"The population of British n orth america in
1914, was ,S5l ,24l. Before tho close of this
preseut year nearly 100000 persons, amounted
to twentieth of the existing populuton, will
have arrived in the St. Lawrance, almost entire

BILE
g In letter received by us, yesterday, from
our correspondent at Jaapa, he informs us that an
individual holding high position IN the American
Army, and whose assertions deserve entire credit
said publicly, and without the least reserve, that,
from letters received at Jaapa from Puebla, on
the lst inst, it is positively known that a treaty
of peace had been signed in Mexico. On being
told that it strange that this should be the
case, as Mr.. Trist had not the power to sign such
treaty, he answered that Gen. Scott had taken it
upon his own responsibility TO sign the treaty in
consequence of which, the treaty had been sent
to Queretaro for the appreciation of the Mexican
Government"
s. 1t is very strange, indeed, if this be true
Gen. Scott, if he is directed by his Government
not TO sign any treaty, would certainly not sign
one. He is too well known for his obedience to
superior orders. TO put himself in position which
his countrymen might not approve. He has too
much at heart, the friendly feelings of those whom
he serves.
The last annual messa ge of the President as
sures US. that Mr.. Trists powers had been rovok
ed, and that ho recalled. 1t is true that Mr.
i rist nus hot yet left the c.V &C Mexico but this
he may do to await further orders from his Co
vernmcnt, relative to the propositions of the peace
lately mado by the Mexican Commissioners to
which he could certainly not have received any
answer from Washington before the first of the
present month. Tho Mexicans could not have
been in such hurry to make the peace, as they
have always refused the propositions made by our
Envoy; and we are that Gen. Scott is not so anx-
lous for ii us 10 grasp the first shadow Of op-
portunity."
