LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO

ed at an early hou. his morning, from Vera
Cruz, bringing dates from there 10 the 22i inst,
from The city OF ilcxico 10 The night OF the 10Th,
and from QaeretaTo 10 the l4h.
TIE committee OF Congress 10 whom the Trea-
" had been referred, made favorable report
10 The conclusion OF the report, the committee
say: awe approve Of the Treaty concluded with
the u. States OF the North on The ID oil February
OF this year, with all The notifications MADE by
the Senate and Government OF the same United
States"
Senior Pena pena has been elected by Con-
gress Provisional President. II may be well
10 explain that, according to the Constitution of
Mexico, if = vacancy occurs in the Office of
President during the recess Of Congress, the
Chief Justice, by virtue of his office, becomes
Presidents but if vahcy occurs during the s.s-
sion of Congress, and continues for fifteen days
the Congress must choose President TO fill The
Office until such time as one is constitutonally
installed. In the present instance, the President
elect (Herrera) is prevented from taking his
seat. owing to the votes Of oil the States not
being counted. The vote of one State had not
boon received at the latest dates, and therefore,
although Herrera is the President elect by
large majority of votes, he cannot take his seat,
for the constitutional reasons above assigned.
In this position Of affairs, a Provisional Presi.
dent. had to be chosen, and Pena Pena was the
choice, having received IL votes, and Herrera
4-a the opposition voting for Herrera.
Our correspondent "Muslang" writes US that
there seems 10 be NJ doubt about the ratification
of the Treaty, though final action was not likely
to be taken upon it before the Goth or 22nd inst.
The sentence of the parties recently tried for
burglary and murder, in the city of Mexico, had
not been made public at the latest dates, The se-
neral impression was, however, that they would
b. sentenced to be hanged.
Our Commissioners, Messrs. Sewer and
ford, were stiliin the city of Mexico at our latest
dates, and it was considered more than probable
that they would not leave for Queretaro before
they received information of the ratification CT
the treaty.
LIEUT.. BRERETON.-Itw was mentioned in
our paper of this morning, as well as the other
city papers, (says The New Orleans PicayuDe,)
that Lieut.. Thos. ]. Brerelon, OF the ordnance,
Jumped over board from The steamer Telegraph

Some of the southern states seem aloof

We think they will finally receive the votes

Itgiyes US pleasure to present the above,
resolution to the public and I'VE heartily
approve of its tenor. The fact constantly,
stares us in the face, that there must be a
connecting link betweenthe greu,railroads
of North and s. Carolina. The public de.
mand this convenience; and the route of
this proposed road is considered the most
feasible. ys.:$ }&s ss
A few considerations in regard TO this
enterprise may be repented. They are,
that this road is demanded, necessary,
convenient and practicable; that ii is rea-
sonably and moral certain to prove a:
good investment; that; no rival road can
possibly bc built within many years, and,
if such rond should eventually be built, it
will necessarily be through such part
of the country, that can fake no bust
ness and not much travel from this road;
that the cost Of this road will be compare
lively much less than that of many other
roads; and that this road can be built by
the people ofNort!i and South Carolina,
if they are determined to do it.
There is sufficient money in the coun-
try TO effect this purpose, and it will be
produced by some who arc now luke.
warm, when they see the stockholders
are in earnest about the matter, and
nothing Can prove this more certain.
'y than the commencement Of the road.
The travelling public will have some con-
fidence that the enterprise will be accom-
plished, when they see an actual bcgin-.
ming of the work. It is the opinion of
many that the number and means of the
stockholders will increase when the work
commences and as it goes on. Many of
our Sumter stockholders are eager that
the road bo forthwith begun, and with
good reason. They remember that n
thing begun is half done. Sufficient con.
sideration has been given 10 the subject
by many minds, and 10 them it appears
the wosk must, sooner or later, be begun
completed and succeed. Matters are fa-
vorabe, as much SO as they will probably
be at the end ofano,her year. Why then
any longer delay the commencement of
the road7
