Pills and Matrimony.-A day or two since
clergyman of this city was called upon to
tie a young and loving couple in the silken
cords of matrimony. AS soon as the benedic-
ton was pronounced, the groom who is one
of our most respectable physicians, stepped
up to the worthy divine and observed
"My dear sir, the interesting ceremony just
concluded, appears to have excited you. Per-
nit me to prescribe"-at the the same time
handing him pill box, on which was writ
ten inscription, pro renata," which means,
when rendered into our free and easy verna-
cular, to be taken according to directions"
The good book tells us that we must return
good for evil. Although many inveterate
bachelors are of opinion that marriage is
a questionable blessing still our clergyman
thought that box of pills was sickening
retarn for his services, whether happiness OF
misery was to flow from them. He said
nIothing-what could ne say' He did some
tmng however. He opened the box, when-lo.
ana 0enold! six Benton mint drops met his
wondering view.
In case the good mans services should a.
gain be required, we presume he will not feel
particularly offended, if the dose is repeated

" The press is discussing with some eager
ness the correspondence between Generals
Scott and Worth, and the course of the admin
istration towards both. The opposition is at
lacking the administration for sending General
Scott TO court of inquiry, and not General
Worth at the same time, or even previously.
The democratic press is defending the Secreta-
ry of War, without having all the facts or ar
guments before it. Would it not be as we'll
for us all to wait until the correspondence in
relation TO these points shall have been sub
mitted to Congress and the country Union.
These are exactly our sentiments. An I'M
fortunate difficulty has arisen between some of
our most distinguished military officers. One
of them, and the highest amongst them, has
been subjected 10 a Court of Inquiry. Into
what matters this Court will enquire, there is
no one outside of the Cabinet, that can speak
understandingly. True, we have before us the
correspondence between Gen. Scott and w orth,
which it is said led to the arrest of the latter,
and the Court of Inquiry upon the conduct OF
the former. But is this the only reason why
that Court has been ordered by the President
Who can answer this question May it not
he that other charges will be investigated q
May not Mr. Polk have good and sufficient
reasons, even beyond what is known to the
public, for the course which he has seen fit to
pursue in this matter? We hold that, in grave
matters OF this kind, the only proper course
for a sensible, right-tbinking man to pursue,
is, TO wait until he has the whole facts before
him, and then he can pronounce his opinion
Understandings. For our own part, we fee
assured that when the whole history of this
affair is made known to the people of the
Union, they will say that MIR. Polk has only
pursued that course to which he was impelleG
by his duty. FederaIists may rail as much as
they please, without knowing what they are
talking about, but we feel certain that the day
will come when, if they will only act honest
ly, they will be compelled to take back al
they have said about Mr.. Polk

oGMr, Goggin says that Mexico has been
greatly benefited by Santa Annals return,
through President Folks permission. Gen'l
Bustamente, ex-President of Mexico; on the
other hand, asserts that the army of that re-
public has been "disgraced and almost amt
hilated, perhaps through aoant Of skill an ats
Chief" Now which of these two enemies of
Mr.. Folks administration is right? The one
in Mexico most assuredly, for he has many
facts to sustain his assertion, while the mem
Der from Virginia has none to support his.

HE TREATY AS TT PASSED THE SENATE
OF course, inasmuch as the injunction of Sc
crecy has not been removed from the procee-
ding of the Senate, the mode and the manner
IN which it has been ratified by that body, is
officially unknown to the people of the coun-
try. The Washington letter writers, however,
say they know all about it. Certainly they
do find out great many things somehow or
other. The following to the New York Her
aid seems to us to bear upon lis face about as
correct speculation on the subject as we have
seen. We think that it is most likely correct
in its main features -
Correspondence of the New.York Herald
WASHINGTON, March 10, lS48-lOPM.
The treaty has Just been ratified, with mod.
ifcations. The Senate, three quarters of an
hour ago, took the final vote, and then ad.
journed over till Tuesday. The injunction of
secrecy had not been removed.
The vote stood 81 TO Is.

Majority for the treaty %
among those voting for the ratification are
four who spoke against it. Ofthe four Sena-
tors not voting, two are absent from the CITY
Messrs. Houston and Pearce.
The articles providing for the confirmation
OF the grants given by the Mexican govern.
ment in Texas and California are stricken ont.
and the unmportant provision to extend the
jurisdiction of the Mexican church over the
Catholic clergy in the ceded territory, is alsc
stricken out. These are the principle modif
cations.
1t will be recollected that the treaty indi
Gates two modes of paying the indemnity a
greco upon-one by the issue of six per cent
stocks, or by instalments. The latter mod,
has been adopted. The three millions snb;oc
to Mr.. TrIsts order, are to be paid immediate

liancy and power. 1t is not as yet determIn
ed whether a commissioner shall be sent or
not
The following is a sketch of the articles of
the treaty, as adopted by the Senate. 1t is,
probably, as correct as compressed sketch
can be made -
Articles and Provisions of the Treaty. as
Adopted by the American Senate.
Article first appointed Seniors Quotas, Con-
to, and Atristain, commissioners on the part of
the Mexican government to adjust terms of a
lasting treaty of peace between the United
States of the North, and the United Mexican
States, with Nicholas P. Trlst, commissioner
of the United States, &c.
Article second stipulates that there shall De
an immediate suspension of hostilitles between
the armies of the two republics.
Article third defines the future boundary OF
the United States. The line commences IN the
Gulf of Mexico, three leagues from lSha
thence runs up the middle OF me MO Oiahue
tn TIA intersection with the southern boundary
of New Mexico thence along that southern
boundary TO the western boundary OF same
thence north to the first branch of the ella
which If intersects thence down the middle
of that branch and of the river to the Colora-
do thence it runs across westwardly, and
strikes the Pacific at point one league south
of San Diego. The free navigation of the
Gulf of California and of the river Colorado
from the mouth of the ella to the Gulf, is Sc
cured to the United States.
Article fourth stipulates that it shall be op
tional with citizens of Mexico now residing
in the territory to be coded, either to leave. ia
king with them or otherwise disposing OF thel
property; or else upon taking the oaths OF al
legiance to this government, to be protected IL
the enjoyment of all the rights and immuni
ties of citizens of the United States.
The next article provides that the Unite
, States government shall take prompt and Ell
! fectual measures for the defence of the boz
: der from Indian incursions. To this end
both nations are to use their best endeavors.
In consideration of the extension of tn
> boundary of the U. S., made by this treaty
the U. S. government stipulates to pay to Mex
t leo the sum of fifteen millions of dollars /
this sum is included the three millions appropr
ated last session for the furtherance OF peace
