~ The Washington Union says: Accounts
pouring in upon US frum he army, respecting the
opinion of the officers upon the best mode of carrying
on the war, and obtaining prompt and honorable
peace. We have converSed with sOme Of the officers
who have arrived in this city There seems to be
very little diversity of opinion upon this question.
We understand from an intelligent officer, who has
arrived this week from the city of Mexico, that he
does not know an officer, who, whatever may be his
desire to return the United States hesaes to say
that TO withdraw the troops from Mexico, occupy
a defensive line would be the most direct of
prolonging the war. The only plan for obtaining
early peace is a vigorous prosecution OF the war.
We further learn that the officers of the army, Of
whatever party, with great unanmiiy, attribute the
proongaion Of the to our party ieuds; that the
sentiments of the opposition press and leaders are
greedily promulgated by the Mexicans among the
people there; aud the impression prevails among lhem,
thai majority of the people of the United States are
opposed 10 the war. and determined 10 bring ii to
close. The officer further remarked that, If Congress
had voted the necessary supplies soon possible
after its meeting would have had the happest eff
feet in Mexico, and in all probability would have Sc
cured an early peace.
~ Mr.. MATTHIAS, Senator from Philadelphia,
has submitted joint resolution in the Legislature Of
Pennsylvania authorizing the Governor Of the State

Calwalader.
