Stepping The War.

The Washington correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Gazette writes as follows;
at is quite clear to my mind, that no trca-
ty with Mexico can be ratified by the Senate,
which is predicaled upon the terms signifed
by the President, and therefore it necessari-
ly follows, unless the administration will re-
treat from its present attitude, that the war
cannot be terminated while it continues in
power"
Why sol Suppose Congress should di.
rect the President to accept the terms offered
by Mexico, and if he would not do it, ther
withhold all supplies for carrying on The ,ra'
would we not soon have peacel The
way is clear enough. All that is wanted il
irmness to take the responsibilily.-Iru

Sad Catastrophe!

At the Excelsior" Phalanx, forty miles
above Cincinnati on the Ohio river, seven
teen persons were crushed to death on
the Goth ult. by the falling of a house. The
house a large brick building stood upon the
bank of the river, and the foundation was
torn away by the flood. There were thir-
ty two persons in the house at the time of
the catastrophe. We have learned the names
of but few of the killed. Moses Cornell and
all his 'family-a wife and four children
were among the unfortunate number.
John o., and Esther Wattles, known prob
ably to most of our readers, were in the bull
ding but escaped with but little injury.
All accounts speak of the killed as persons
of the highest moral worth, d~evoting all their
energies to the cause of human happiness
and progression. Such spirits the world
can lily afford to lose.

Congressional.
JOSEPH STANTON Secretary.

Little of importance has yet trlnspired in
Congress. In the Senate, Mr.. Dickinson, of
New York, offered the following resolutions,
which were ordered to be printed
ResoIred, That true policy requires the Co.
vernment of the United States to strengthen
its political and commercial relations on This
continent, by the annexation of such coDtig-
uous territory as may conduce to that end,
and as can be justly obtained and that nei-
Their in such acquisition, nor in the territorial
organization thereof, can any conditions be
imposed, nor Institutions provided for, or es-
tablished, inconsistent with the right of the
people thereof TO form a free sovereign State,
with ak the powers and privileges of the ORR
ginal members of the Contederacy.
Res0hred, That in organizing a Government
for a territory Of the United States, it will
best comport with the principles OF self-go-
vernment, upon which our federative system
rests, and that the true spirit and meaning of
the Consultation will be best subserved. and
the ConGederacy strengthened, in leaving all
questions concerning the domestic policy OF
such territory to the Legislature chosen by
the people thereof.
In the House, Mr.. Holmes, of South Caro-
lima, moved the following resolutions, which
the House refused to consider:
Whereas, This confederacy was formed fol
the establishing Of a perfect union, and pro
noting the general welfare, it becomes those
who are entrusted with regulating the Go
vernment SO 10 direct its movements as to per
feet that union, and advance that welfare
And Whereas, The prosperity, felicity, safe
ty, and perhaps national existence, are involv
ed in the invasive wal we are now prescott
ing against our sister Republic of Mexico
this important consideration should lead u
TO the adoption of such measures as may re
suit in doing justice to Mexico. and promolin
the lasting welfare OF the United States
Therefore be 1t
ReSohred, That it is ineXpedient for the [
nited States Government, so TO use its COZ
quests as to eXtinguish the national existenc
of Mexico, but so to avail itself of the victc
ries il has achieved as to establish, by treat
stlpulatlons, a lasting peace with Mexico NJ
on the basis Of an entire free trade betwee
the two republics, such as exists between tn
several States of this Union.
Resolced, That we agree to recede all tn
territory we have taken from Mexico beyon
the Rio Grande, on condition that our either
have free ingress into and from New Mexic
and California, the privilege of holding landt
exercising their religion, and carrying on trad
as fully as any OF the Mexican citizens

From Mexico.

But little of importance has been received
of late from Mexico.
The New Orleans Picayune of Dec. 10,
states that the rumor of Santa Annals being
at the head of 5000 men, and threatening
the Mexican Congress &c, turns out 10 be
without foundation. Santa Anna has GeW fol-
lowers.
Gen. Anaye was elected President on the
lith of December, and has appointed Pena
y Pena the late President his secretary of
State. The new President is said TO be in
favor Of peace.
1t is reported that Gen. North, Gen. Pill
low, and Lieut.. Duncan have been arrested
by Gen. Scott for contempt. The story is
that certain letters written by them censu-
ring Scott have fallen into his hands.

The Asylum was chartered in 1915. 1t has
nine faithful Trustees and other necessary Di-
rectors oniy. Some of whom, Judge Bethany
Slorer says, ~ am personally acquainted
with, and they have my perfect confidence,
and from the mCde in which the Institution
is managed, have no doubt, that any contri-
buttons the agent may receive from the friends
of the colored people, will be faithfully and
iudiciously applied. And S. p. Chase, Esq.
says, 81 hHOw the Institution 10 be every way

There are only fifteen children in the Asy-

number is, the want of means to take care of
a greater. The Institution has never receive
ed any foreign help but $500 from Philadel-
phia. 1t is for you, friends Of God and his
poor, to say whether the Trustees shall have
what is needed to carry on this great and good
work. The Trustees ask you, "Shall we
have one spot Of earth-One house, where
otr poor and destitute may find relief, and

1t appears from the report of the Post Mas
er General that the revenues of the depart
nent for the year ending in June last, amount
ed to SO ,9l5,S9 exceeding those of the pre-
ceeding year by the sum of $685. 9l, bein.
an Increase of more than 10 per cent. The
revenues are now about sufficient to meet the
expenses of the department. The cheap pos
tage system pays! Many feared it would not
answer, and opposed it, Cave Johnson among
the rest. Doubtless the rates of postage can
be still farther reduced with advantage, both
to the Department and the people. We hope
the experiment will be tiel.

A Battle between Horses.

Two of The Spanish regiments which
had been qnarlered in Funen were caval-
ry, mounted on fine black, long tailed
Andausian horses, about 100 in number,
and Romano was not man who could
order them to be destroyed lie was fond
of horses himself, and knew that every
man was attached TO the beast which had
carried him so far and so faithfully. Their
brides were taken off, and they were turn
ed loose upon the beach. a scene ensn'
ed, such as probably was never before
witnessed. They were sensible that they
were no longer under any restraint OF hui
man power. A. general conflict ensued,
in which, retaining the discipline they
had learned, they charged each other in
s0uadrons of ten or twenty together; then
closely engaged, striking with their fore
feet, and biting and tearing each other
with ierocious rage, and ,rampIlng over
those which were beaten down, ill the
shore, in the course Of an hour, was strewn
with dead and disabled. Part of them
had been SET free on a rising ground, at a
distance; they no sooner heard the roar OF
battle than they came laundering down
over the immediate hedges, and catching
the contagious madness, plunged into the
fight with fury. Sublime as the scene
was, il was too horrible to be long con-
templaled, and Romano, IN mercy, gave
orders for destroying them. but it was
found too dangerous to a'temp; this; and
after The last boats Quilted the shore, the
few horses that remained were still engag
ed in the dreadful work Of mutual deslruc.
