Some of the boys about town occasionally ask US
if we have heard from George" since he sailed.
We have at length got letter from him, which we
publish below. He also sent another to his mother,
in which he thinks lie shall come home in two or

cipne of the ship, the unpleasant duties be per-
formed at night well as in the day, and the
verify of the LIST Lieutenant, especially He thinks
better Of it now, wrote him he would. Boys, as

they try,-even perhaps to "slaying a Mexican in

Afterwards, under MIR. Stewards resolution, the con-
stead of one,-and additional delegates were nomina-

was reported "fnll" By this nee understand that the

We observe with regret that the name of our ven-

omitted among the list of officers at the end, where
it should have appeared among the vice presidents.

ANNEXATION REsoLUTIoNs.-A number of resolu-
tons already before Congress in relation to Next

duced in either House, those Of the Hon. Moses

MIA, an favor of the gradual annexation of Mexico.

Whence do Great Reforms Spring.-In
societies, the order of reformatlons Will be
found to be the same; from the native force
and inspired insight of some individual mind,
that kindles, first itself, and then, by It's ire
sistible intensity, wider and wider sphere
of souls; spirit being born of spirit, thought
of thought. A higher eiviization-by which
understand neither superior clothes, nor
better houses, nor richer wines, and even
more destructive gunpowder-but nobler
system Of ideas and aspirations, possessing
community, must commence, where alone
ideas and aspirations can have beginning,
in somebody's mind. Hence, of all the more
remarkable social revolutions, the seminal
principles, the primitive type, may be traced
to some one man, whose spiritual greatness
had force enough to convert generations and
constitute an era IN the worlds life, who
preached with power some mighty repen-
lance OF transition of sentiment within the
hearts of men, and thus render more near
at hand that "kingdom Of heaven" for which
all men sigh and good men toll Private
repentance, individual moral energy, deep
personal faith in some great conception Of
duty and religion, are the prequisites and
causes of all social amelioration.-ReU.
