o. The following paragraph, which we find in
a late number of the American Star, is another
exemplifcaton of the restless spirit of activity and
enterprise which pervades the American race.
The same energy which has carried them on so
far prohibits them to rerace their steps, and mpes
them still further onward. We presume the editor
of the American Star, who is the leader, intends
to preserve his claim to the title of Pioneer of the
Press which he has gained in Mexico:
Westward the STAR of Empire takes its way
Ho! FOR CALIFORNIA Those who have sig
nfed their intention of accompanying us to Cali
forna-after the peace is concluded-must not get
out of the humor of going, but prepare every thing
for the Journey so that as soon as an understanding
is brought about between the two countries, we can
strike our tents and march away" If all go who
have bid us enroll their names, the party will ex-
ceed three hundred and fifty men. Should peace
follow the present treaty before our Senate, the
preparations for such journey will not be lost
they will be advantageous in another sense.
GIVING THE MAIL REsT.-It appears that the
great Southern mall which lay over at Phadel-
phia, recently, all night, now remains in Baltimore
all day. We presume the Postmaster General
deems it advisable to give good rest somewhere,
before proceeding ON its tedious journey
