'sThe army will be maintained in Mexico,ever
should it be on their own hook. Should the
Government tomorrow abandon the war, there
are hundreds of thousands of American citizens
who will take it up. Commodore Stockton has
declared that, if the Government give up the
CALIFORNIA;, he will take possession of them, a:
a private job"
This is from the Washington correspondence
of the Baltimore Sun, understood to be semi
official. The idea is, that, if the Governments
of the United States and Mexico make peace
hundreds of thousands of the people of the
United States will organize themselves into an
army of ~rufians, land-pirates, and cut-throats
and lay waste and take possession of Mexico
without law and upon their own responsibility
We rather think that the writer vastly over
rates the numbers and the power of the lawles:
and desperate wretches in this country. He
forgets that about thirtyState pen~itentiaries, ff
1ty times that number of jails, and numberless
scaffolds are daily making awful inroads upon
their ranks.
Commodore Stockton, according to this wri
ter, declares, that, if the Government give up
The CALIFORNIA;. be will take possession Of then
as a private job. The gallant Commodore
should remember, that, when a man commit;
land-piracy as a private JOB, the public author
tiles may chance tohang him as a public job

Polk AND UNCLE BAs.-Some writer in the Pa
Village Record, overheard Uncle Bias talking thus:
.It's queer though said Uncle Bias, l never thought
of taking New Mexico before But Folks right, af
ter all, if they won't have the olive branch we'll give
'em the hickory, that's the way to make 'em good re-
publicans, and it's clever of him too,t to only takes hal
of their land, if ii was a strong nation like England
he'd take all, if not more, he's right any how, and I've
a mind to take Bill Beans horse from him cause he
don't know how to govern animals, no how-hekeeps
ems so lean and there's Jabis Griffin, who's too poor
to manure his bit of land, I'll take that too, and give
it to Bob, my nephew. Folks a greatman, he is! he's
beginning to open my eyes and expand my ideas, in

Total DESTRUCTION OF ASTEAMBoAT BY GUN
PowDER.-We learn by the Alex. Scott, says
the Louisville Journal, that the steamer Sea
Bird, bound from New Orleans for st. Louis,
with a thousand kegs of powder on board, took
fire near Cape Girardeau. As soon as the fire
was discovered, she was run ashore, and every
person left her. The powder exploded, tearing
the boat to atoms. The explosion was ire
mendous, and the shock it produced was, it is
said, sensibly felt at Cairo. The Sea Bird was
owned in st. Louis and not of much value.
