TO A FRIEND,
On being y resented ,cith gift Of FlOtcers.
FRIEND for thy gift OF flowers,
To thee my thanks are due
All fragrant, fresh and fair,
As on their stems they grew.
Like the lone star that cheers
The darkness Of the night, '.-s#-'
Each flower that beauty. fragrance'y yields,
Our path in life doth light,
And though they live but for day,
Then bow their heads and die.
Sweet is the lesson they impart-
No moralist can vie.
And like the fading. short-lived flowers,
The season of our youth;
Though slow we ever be to learn
This all-important truth.
Oh, would that youth might ever last,
Its flowers might ever bloom,
Till snatched by deaths remorseless hand,
Towlther in the tomb.
Then would m, eyes be spared the sight
OF youi hful charms decay,
And feasted long, my vision be, ....

ARRIVAL OF THE nRITIsH STEAMER.

The royal mail steamship Severn, Capt. Vincent,
arrived off Ship Island about 10 O'Clock on Satur-
day morning last, having left Vera Cruz on the
morning of the 18th ult. By her we have received
files from the city of Mexico to the 18th inst, and
Vera Cruz to the morning Disabling.
The English courier left tile city of Mexico on
the 18TH but did not, as we could learn, bring down
a single paper of that date-perhaps we may have
later date in the mail.
We learn that the city is quiet, and that the Go
vernment is every day gaining strength. We have
conversed with several intelligent Mexicans, who
assert that the present Government is the most
vigorous that has ever existed IN Mexico, and that
Herrera is daily becoming more popular with the
people.
Numerous rumors prevail as TO the whereabouts
of Paredes some asserting that he is on the coast,
awaiting an opportunity to leave the country,
while by others it is said that he is at present in the
city of Mexico, sowing the seeds of discOrd, by
means of his emissaries, among the lower classes.
We have every reason to suppose that the latter
version of the story is the true one, and that this
ambitious demagOgue is now using his best efforts
in the heart of his country to plunge her into civil
war, and render her condition worse than while in
the hands of an enemy.
The Arco IRIS of the 18th says that there is fine
prospect of bringing the Indian difficulties to an end,
and that there will be treaty of peace betweenal
the tribes and Mexico, soon concluded.
Neither the Chamber of Deputies nor the Senate
have done much of any thing since the 2lst ult,
for want of quorums. Governors of territories are
required to report to the Government all strangers
arriving within their dOminions-suCh persons to be
allowed all the freedom and protection and privi
leges of a Mexican citizen, on condition of their
disclosing their intention to remain in the country
In Vera Cruz all is quiet, and things have gone
on smoothly since its evacuation by our troops
The American merchants of the town held meet
ing about two weeks since, and passed resolutions
complimenting the Mexican officers of Vera Cruz
and returning thanks for the courtesy received at
their hands. The principal Alcalde was present at
the meeting, and, in reply to the resolutions, men
toned that the bone of discord between the two
nations had now disappeared, and that there was
now great necessity of cultivating good feeling
between the two countries.
There is not single soldier at present in Vera
Cruz, and many of the weathiest inhabitants take
part in guarding the town. We have been informed
by several merchants of the place, that the new
authorities were oblging and courteous as could
possibly be wished for. The Severn, we believe,
brought no dutiable freight.
We have received full files of Mexican papers,
but owing the hour at which they reached us, we
were not able to translate them. However, our
Vera Cruz correspondent writes US" There is no
news from the interior"

General S. Churchill Inspector General, U. S. A


We observe that this distinguished officer has
rived at St. Louis on hisway to Washington This
reminds us of the arduous and important duties re-
Gently discharged in this city by General Churchill,
and of the omission to mention them in proper terms
in the Crescent
General Churchill, on the receipt of intelligence
at Washington of the conclusion of a peace with
Mexico, was ordered to repair to New Orleans to
muster out such troops might be thought expe-
dent to disband at this point. This aborious and
responsible duty was performed by him, aided by
his son, Lieut. Churchill, of the Sd Regiment Ar
tlery, young officer Of great promise, in the space
of about fifteen days-having in this short period
gone through with vast amount of public bust
ness, besides preparing the instructions for the mus
tering officers at various points in the West and on
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
Plain and unobtrusive in his department, and of
the most active business habits no officer in the
army more thoroughly versed in the professional
duties devolving upon him than General Churchill,
nor is there one more universally respected or more
unexceptionable in character.
This veteran hero, it will be recoected was, at
the special request Of General Wool assigned to his
column, when it moved from San Antonio de Bexar
in September, 1916. He accompanied that division
of the army throughout its entire march, and for
the discipline subordination, and military skill sub
sequently displayed by it on the memorable field Of
Buena Vista, much of the credit is due to General
Churchill. He was himself prominet actor on
that field, and for the distinguished services there
rendered by him, he has since received from the
President and Senate the brevet rank of Brigadier
General, an honor justly won and richly deserved.
