phant peace, is peering from the dark clouds as
they roll off into the distance. Oar armies have
ceased fighting because they have enemy TO
fight. Oar victorious troops have got possession
of all her sea bord on the Gulf and on the Pacific
ocean. They have overrun the valley of the Rio
Grande-occupied the principal cities of Mexico,
and wiki ou prood eagles penetrated the deadly
Calienes, climbed the Serres and CordlIleras, and
triumphantly passed the gates of the capital and
are now "reyelling in the halls" of the Aztec
monarchs.
The Mcxicans have been chased away from
their capital and have taken refuge in remote
viage-her armies dispersed, and her treasury is
paying tribute to her conquerors. 1t is now just
as impossible to prosecute with PROSTATE Mex
leo as it is to fight shadow.
We have but little doubt that the project Of
treaty with Mexico has been received at Wash
ington. The many floating and concurrng items
of testimony go to confirm in the belief. From
the capital Vera Cruz and Tampico, letters and
opinions emanate, all pointing to this important
fact. The same opinion prevailed at Washing
ton, at our last dates, and letter writer's from the
seat of government affirm that the cabinet has
been in session, on several occasions with this pro-
ject under consideration.
The terms said to be offered by Mexico, are
those offered by Mr.. TRIsT in former negotiations,
and which had been spurned by our vain glorious
enemy. He has been thrashed iuto nationality
and now offers that which. if had been accepted
at time, would have saved the capital.
1t cedes as the boundary of Texas, the Rio
Grande-cedes the part of Mexico The whole
of Upper California and as much of New Mexico
lies above the Paso del Norte, and the U States
to indemnify all claims which lis citizens may
have against Mexico. These are SAID TO be the
terms that Mexico offers to make peace upon
How correct our belief is, cannot venture TO
information this subject, We are led to firm
conviction that such is :he case.
Then, we hope the government will, at once,
accept the offer and end the war, we are again
longing for the g piping times of peace" No
more glory is to be won by our gallant sold ers
let them return and receive their rewards from
grateful countrymen. The end of the beginning
will then have been accomplished.

fought for it.

GrThe following from Mr.. CARNALL. Sheriff of
Crawford county, will be read with some interest
by country readers. There are many other
matters of interest to the citizens Of Craw ford
which might, we suppose, be published by order
of the Comfy Court. 1t is very natural for the
people to desire knowledge of their pecuniary
concerns. They know they are taxed, and they
would like to know the wherefore.
