to remark the ignorance of town-bred children

was fulfilling a duly to his country. He

which time he took prominent part IN the

that the juices of the manure dissolses a

that prod ed the benefit to his crops. We
supposed, however, that il was owing TO the

probably other materials, or ingredients
supplied that were lacking in the soil which
received the dressing. We all know that

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM
MEXICO!
A TTEATY OF PEACE NEGoTIATED!!


The steamship New Orleans, Captain Aud ar,
rived at New Orleans, un the afternoon of the
18th instant, from Vera Cruz, with advices ten
days later from that port. The most important
news by this arrival is the report that the terms
of peace offered by the Mexican Government had
been accepted by General Scott. We copy from
the New Orleans Pcay une Of the 18th inst the
following details of the intelligence by this arri-
val:
"The steamship New Orleans, Capt. Edward
Aud, arrived yesterday afternoon, from Vera
Cruz, having sailed the afternoon, of Tuesday
last, the 18th inst. She brought over sixty Off
GERS Of the army. Most of them are ordered on
the recruiting service. The New Orleans had
some other cabin passengers, and about 100 dis
charged soldiers aud quartermasters' men. The
ship has made an extraordinary run.
Mr.. Freaner arrveh at Vera Cruz on Sunday
last, the 9th inst, bearing dispatches from Gen
Scott, for the Government at Washington. lie
was TO have sailed on Monday, the 7th inst, on
board the u S. steamer Iris, for Mobile. The
New Orleans was detained for two days, to give
the lris time 10 TO get in uhead-why, is scarce
ly known. The New Orleans, however, over
took the Iris, and passed her before she reached
the Bulize. The dispatches brought by MIR.
Freaner are OF the utmost Importance.
The nature of them was not generally known
at Vera Cruz, but from source in which we
have abiding confidence, we learn that the Mex
lean Congress has sent IN terms of peace which

VERMONT wATCHMAN & STATE JOURNAL MARCH 2 ls4s.

General Scott has taken the responsibility ofac-
cepting. One of the articles Of this arrange
ment is, that twelve thousand United States
troops shall remain in Mexico, until certain obl-
cations are fulflled-the remainder of the troops
to be withdrawn.
We learn further that the preiminaries of the
treaty of peace were signed on the first day of
February by the Mexican government, and that
no doubt was entertained that the Mexican Con-
gress, which was to meet in few days, would
ratify the same by large majority. By tho
terms Of this treaty we understand the United
States obtain the boundary of the Rio Grandc,
New Mexico and Upper California. The pecu-
mary consideration for these concessions is q
mere trlf1e compared with that proposed in the
conference at Tacubaya.
Our dates by this arrival are to the evening of
the I'd inst, from the city Of Mexico, nnd the in
formation given above comes to us through 80
many channels and in such authentic form, that
we see no reason to question the fact
Orlzaba was captured on the 10Th ut. One Of
the purposes Of the expedition was to capture
Gen. Santa Anna at Tehuacan. The willy Mex
lean, however, effected his escape through the
treachery of one Of his countrymen.
Com. Perry returned to Vera Cruz oil the 10Th
inst from an expedition to the southwark.
The expedition which left Vera Cruz ON the
gath ult. against the guorrillas, does not appear
TO have effected much. They had two Or three
brushes with the enemy; but no great harm was
done on either side -.E

DEATH OF JOHN QUINCY ADJ
ANS.

We have the mourntul duty Of recording the
death of JONI QuINoY ADAMs-one of the pur-
est and ablest of American Statesmen. No
State save perhaps Massachusetts, will moro
keenly feel his loss than Vermont none certain
ly betteruppreeiated his character or more deeply
sympathzed in his views. But the space pre.oc.
cupied by ether matter leaves no room for re-
mark, nor even to give the details of this event
so fully as VIC desire,
john QUINCY ADAMS, IL will be seen by our
Telegrnphic dispatch from Washington, was
yesterday struck with paralysis while in the
discharge Of his duties in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, and Immediately conveyed out in a
state of insensibility. Both Houses thereupon
adjourned.
We mournfully apprehend that Mr.. Adams will
never resume his seat-that his earthly career is
nearly over lie looked feeble and falling when
we last saw him in the House; his eye was
dimmed, his step lettering, and he evidently ia
ding away from earth. We felt then that he
could hardly survive the anxetes and excite
ments Of the session. He has probably been
longer in public life than any other living man,
though Metternich may come near him-Mr. Adj
ans having commenced his career in 1881, as
Private Secretary to Francis Dana, ambassador
to Russia. Since then, a space Of srty-Seuen
years, Mr.. Adams has been rarely out OF public
employment, and always an intent observer and
student of public affairs and should the present
stroke prove fatal, it may be truly said that he
lived and died in the service of his country.-
She has had few greater sons, many wiser in
the way of vote-catching and popularity hunting
but scarcely one of more various abilities and
profound requirements and surely none of more
lofty integrity, republican simplicity and devoted
patriotism than John Quincy Adams.-.M Y
Tribune.
MIR. Adams continued until the 3d. and thus
on the actual anniversary of the birth of WASH
,NeToN, Mr.. ADAMS died in the capitol of the
country of which he had been faithful servant
and brilliant ornament.
