/" AID AND COMFORT

The annals of war furnish no examples in mag.
nanimity towards an enemy comparable with those
which distinguish our Government. Mexico CON-
menced the war at moment when her most able
and experienced General was in exile. Our Gov
eminent, in the handsomest manner, sent Captain
MACKENZIE to Havana to invite Gen. SANTA ANNA
not only to " pass freely into Mexico, but to re-
plemish his army chest with "three millions"
While Gen. SANTA ANNA, after Gen. TAYLOR
had, with badly provided but indomitabe Amy,
gloriously triumphed upon every battlefield from
Palo Alto to Saltillo was concentrating numerous
army for decisive engagement the Government
ordered away his regulars, leaving him with four
thousand volunteers to encounter the enemy twenty
thousand strong Had Gen. TAYLOR been beaten
in that most unequal conflict his arrest and degra-
dation was to have followed. And thus, while the
country suffered the Administration would have tri-
umphed over one of its Generals. But old" Rough
and Ready" would not be whipped a. any way
the Administration could fix it,
And now, after Gen. ScoTT, with his ten thou
sand troops, had fought his way through rivers OF
blood into the Halls of the Montezumas," inspi-
ring the enemy with awe and admiration of his
prowess, that distinguished General is suspended
from his command and subjected to trial in one Of
the cities which he conquered.
And 10 crown the and close the drama,
Mr.. TmsT, whom the Administration dispatched as
its Commissioner to purchase y peace, has bee,,
ordered TO be arrested and sent out of Merico!
All this " aid and comfort cannot fail to encour-
age Mexico to protract the war. The knowledge
possessed by Mexican Generals that while they
were opposing Generals TAYLOR and ScoTT in front
their own Administration was firing upon their rear
could not fail to animate their efforts and cheer their
hopes.--.9iba,y Evening Journal

OPINIONS OF THE WAR.

The Washington Union finds but little consola-
ton in the result Of the elections and the judgment
which the Representatives of the People have pro-
nounced upon the war; and turns for relief and COM
fort TO collect from OF the officers Of the army
sentiments more favorable to the conduct OF Tie
President We know that none Of
these men have rendered any very surprisingly
important service since they became officers of the
army; and il they have, we do not see why the
opinions of mere military men should be made 10
outweigh the sober and deliberate judgment Of the people and
the Peoples Representatives the policy impoEy Of the
war. What opinions Of such men worhpoItco mill

fact too that those military gentlemen who hare distinguish
themselves by renewed services in the war; have added 10
their claims public admiration Ivy abstaning from writing
from the camp any Of those political partisan letters which
have 30 Disguised all Of reflection and good taste both in
