The INDIANS OF MExIco--THEIR AFFECTION FOR
THEA RICANs.-On the departure off our arnlyfr
Mexico, the lndlans-who constitute nearly the
whole laborlng population-exhibited their sorrow
and regret In the most striking and affecting man
ner. The sojourn of our army in Mexico has re-
lleved these poor and interesting people of many
expressions and taxes to which they have long
been subjected They are the prod ULCERS and indus
trials of the country, and hitherto have contributed
through the Alcabalo, and other taxes, to support
the extravagant government of Mexico. Inter-
course with our soldiers-a knowledge of the kind

There is one single trait of our countr ymen which
has aroused the livelest admiration of the poor In
dams. 1t Is their behavior to females. The lower
class OF the Mexlcans treat their women harshly

towards their women, with the brutal conduct of
the MeXlcans-when they saw an American soldier
turning out OF the way to let "A Mexican woman
pass-they could scarcely understand, much less
express their grattutc for, such unexpected kind
ness. As our army passed out of their towns,
crowds OF these poor people surrounded our troops
and threw bouquets and fruit to the soldiers,
and many OF them ,wept most piteously,
crying out that they had lost their only friends
