1t is circumstance worthy Of note, that the
precise position of Ell Paso, and, therefore, of tie
point twenty miles above it in the Rio Grande, is
fixed differently in different maps The latest
map In our possession, is "map of Oregon and
Upper California, from the surveys OF John
Charles Fremont and other authorities, drawn by
Charles Preuss, under the order of the Senate of
the United States, Washington city, 1S48." This
map puts Ell Paso about twenty minutes South of
the 32d degree, and marks the boundary indicated
by the treaty with Mexico, as leaving the Rio
Grande al Ell PaSo, and coursng first South
West and then North West and North to the point
nearest the Eastern branch of the ella. In
Dsturnells map, as we have seen, Ell Paso is
North of the 32d degree, and South of the South
ern boundary of New Mexico, which the treaty
itself distinctly atfirms. The discrepancy is re-
markable, as Preuss's map processes to give the
boundary line indicated by the ratified treaty
with Mexico" 1t occurs to us as probable ex-
PLANTATION, that Disturnell's map, which was got up
when the war with Mexico produced a general in
terest in the geography of that country, set down
the Southern boundary of New Mexico inaccu-
rately, and the Mexican plenipotentiares, anxious
to retain for their miserable country every portion
of its territory which they not forced to sur
render, took pains to confirm the map-maker's mis-
take by inserting in the treaty the specific state
ment that the Southern boundary of New Mexico
"runs North of the town called Paso"
THE ADMINISTRATION POLICY.
The letter of the President to the citizens of
Cazenovia, New York, is to be regarded, we pre-
sumo, as formal announcement of his adhe-
renee to his policy of doing nothing for the Ter
ritories except to admit them as States as fast as
they apply. His acknowledgment of gratitude
for the approval extended to Mr.. Duer's speech is
rather remarkable endorsement of the views of
particular member of Congress. We have not
copy of the speech, but our impression is that it
proposes the immediate admission of California,
New Mexico and Utah as sovereign.
Our attention being recalled more particularly
to Mr. Mason's late speech in the Senate, we find
that we did him injustice in our paper of Saturday,
by saying that he was willing to give upa degree
or two South of the line SO 80, in California He
said ga more convenient natural boundary could
be found, perhaps, tea0 minutes South of the
Compromise line; and if this be so, let it be
adopted" Our Misrepresentation arose from read
ing hastily what Mr. Mason said as to the facility
furnished, South Of the 35th deg. by the subsi-
dence of the Sierra Nevada, for communication
between the Pacific coast and the interior

Monday the 24th inst the swift and splendid steamer
BALTIMORE, Capt. Alex. McCausland, fitted up
with state rooms and $50 berths will be transferred TO
this route and and after that date will run semi
weekly in connection with the Richmond Fredericks-
burg and Potomac Railroad between the landing at
Acquia Greek and Baltimore
Passengers leaving Richmond in the Northern mail
train at u, A M on Mondays and Fridays will arrive
at Acqua Greek about II NJ, where they take the Bal

its fine scenery by day light and arrive at Pney Point
about P. NJ, and at Baltimore in the course of the
night.
This line, it will be seen, avoids entirely the wide por-
ton OF the Bay and of course in great degree any
danger OF rough weather and sickness; and passen
gers by going farther North, have the advantage on
their arrival Baltimore of remaining for the night free

Great excitement was produced here
last night by the arrest Of General
Lopez. The Marshal of the District
made the arrest under the autho.
rity of q telegraphic dispatch from
the President of the United States;
both General Lopez and his aid was ar
rested and taken before Judge Nichols
of the U. s. District Court; there being
no evidence against the parties they
were discharged at quarter before l2
o'clock. The crowd in the court room
was immense, and the decision of the
court was received with much enthu.
siasm. Gen. Lopez was escorted to his
lodgings blythe crowd; be made speech
in which he expressed his determination
to carry out his present project at al
hazards. He is a man of pleasing ap.
pearance and inlelligent--he made quite
a favorable impression on our citizens
He left, accompanied by his aid, at 7

the town; and attacked the Jail, suppo-

was guarded by fifteen men, who stood
the fire well. AT this moment, troops
were seen crossing the square. They
hailed, and were answered by firing on
the troops. After this, some soldiers
went to the Governors house, which
was attacked and burned. The house
was well defended; finally the troops
surrendered themselves.
The town remained peaceable in pos
session of the invaders. The invading
troops being dissatisfied with the warm
reception, and having lost time in get.
ting off the wounded and procuring fuel
for the steamer Creole, which was to
return for reinforcements, became dis.
heartened, and insisted on going to Key
