An express left for Queretaro on Tuesday morn
ing, with communications from the Commissioners q
who represented the Mexican Government IN .lle
armistice. As the armistice has been signed anu
ratified, these communications must nave feeieii'e
to some incidental matters.
Col. Haqs.-We are very much pleased to state
that the health of our gallant friend Jack Hays,
is rapidly mending. Col Hays was out IN n, the
late expedition under Gen Lane, and very likely
owing to the severe hardships suffered by him, IN
common with all others who happened to be along
on that short campaign. his present Illness Is 'le
result to him. We trust to see him, however, Oh
his legs ina day two. and nobody will be more
happy to see him than ourselves.
Col. Hebert-This officer returned TO his home
in louisiana with the last train. The Colonel, we
understand, graduated at the head OF his class az
West Point, and gave promise OF a great officer;
He left the service, however, married wealthy ana
resides in Louisiana. On the breaking out OF the
war. he was the Lieut.. Col. of the 14th and, We
believe highly respected by the officers OF the army
We wish the Col. luck, wherever he goes.
LINES Departure-With considerable regret,
we announce the departure of the gallant comman-
der whose name heads this paragraph, which took
place yesterday Gen. Lane went down short
time in advance of the train under Colonel Black,
accompanied by portion of Capt. LeWlss compa-
nv of Louisiana Mounted Volunteers, and purposes
proceeding home Immediately to spend a short time
with his family. He takes along with him Capt
Pugh and Lieut.. Alexander Hayes, both of whom
have resigned the service, but who have well dis
tinguished themselves, whenever called upon
throughout this campaign We need hardly add,
that wherever the gallant. Lane, or as we have al
ready styled him, the Marion of the Army goes, he
will not cease to enjoy the best wishes of all who
know him, either as man or Standardization
Star, ill.,
Prisoners Erchanged-On Friday last, Ser
geant Goslin, of C. Company mounted Rifemen,
tlate Capt. Walkers with three priyates of the
same, and also, eleven privates OF Infantry, came
in from Erapauta, forty miles beyond Queretaro
They have recently been exchanged for Mexican
prisoners. Sergeant Goslin and three privates
were dispatched, after Capt. Walkers fall at the
battle of Huamantlo, and the dsperse of the Mexl-
cans, to in what direction the latter had fled.
They were surrounded when last seen, by large
body OF Mexicans, and We're supposed to have been
killed on the spot Sergeant Goslm was wounded,
and has several marks of lance on his neck. He
is gallant fellow having been in all the battles
before those of the valley, and his friends who sup
posed him dead, were most happy to welcome him
back to life again.--Star, 7M
Santa Anna.-The Monitor learns that Santa
Anna, if not at Jalisco, is on his way to the State
of San Luis, where he hopes to take advantage Of
the contemplated revolution. He will probably
find that he is too late-the embers having been
effectually smothered by the Supreme Government,
and the Governor of San Luis. The Monitor thinks

"The Noticioso,' Of Pueba of Wednesday
last has an article in relation to the Armistice,
which is conceived in good spirit. 1t believes il
to be for the interest of all parties that it should
not be interrupted, and that there should also, be
a truce between the Government and the promo
tiers of internal dissensons' 1t continues to say.
1hat the public roads are infested with ladrones-
most of them being deserters from the Mexican
army-who, knowing the weakness of the Cen 4
erai Government and its inability to prevent them,
take advantage Of the fact to commit their depre-
dations. There is. no doubt, good grounds for the
remarks of the Noticioso-and we hope the Gov
ernor of Pueba will do all in his power to exer.
inmate the ladrones who infsst the roads on this
and the other side of Puebla The American
COMMUNICATIVE Chief has done much in this re.
spect Troops are stationed at suitable distances
along the line--and as stages have commenced
running between this city and Vera Cruz, the
convenience and safety of passengers require that
every effort should be made for the determination
OF the ladrones.-Star, 18th.
Peace.-Notwithstan little has been said on
the subject of peace for the last few days. those
who so evidently desire it for the good of both I
countries must not think that the chances for a
speedy termination of the war are any less than |
what they We're several weeks ago, On the con-
trary, the prospect is brgh ter 1t is generally be-
lieyed that an armistice has been entered nto--we
believe it no,c-the terms of which twill shortly be
promulgated and it argues to us that an understand
ing between the two nations will follow In another
part of our paper, it will be seen that the States
of Coahuila and Durango, have expressed them
selves for peace-the former Of which is now occu-
pied by the Americans, but the latter is a virgin
State so far concerned. Other States
will probably follow in the work of those and We
trust they will all be anchored in the harbor
of peace. That the actual Governments of both
countries are for peace. no sane man can doubt,
and it is to be hoped they will succeed in arranging
the difficulties that exists between them.
The Armistice-Peace Prospects.-The articles
Of the Convention. providing for a suspension of
hostites between the American and Mexican
Governments. We're officially published in the Star
Of yesterday, and have been perlsed by most of our
readers. The conditions are quite liberal to Mexico
md we trust her citizens will see that they are
crupulousy observed 1t is for their interest to do
so. Indeed, they must be losers by failure to
meet the expectations of the Commissioners. So
ar as Mexico is concerned, matters stand now as
hey did before the war, excepting, of course, such
light restrictions and circumstances as are incident
o the military occupation of the country. She en-
oys from henceforth, and during the armstice-we
rust it will be forever-entire freedom in all her
state national elections Her officers
appointed by her own Government collect the ordi-
lary revenues of the Republic and all her civil and
egal tribunals remainsundisturbed in the exercise
If their functions. Indeed, a temporary peace is
detained between the two countries, and the old
rider of things is restored. There is nothing to-
prevent the Mexican Congress holding its sessions
n this capital if it chooses to do So any of the
state Legislatures meeting when and where they
nay desire. If Santa Anna or Alvarez have pub
&c or private business TO transact in this city, they
an come and go without molestation Even
