The Mesilla Controversy.

Serious apprehensons are entertained N we'll
informed circles, that the dispute growing out OF
the boundary line between this Government and
Mexico may lead to open rupture between the
two countries Rumors flow in upon us thick
and fast, and, rumor like, very contradictory.
The telegraph informs us that instructions have
been sent to Judge Conkling. the American
Minister to purchase all the Valley of the Gila,
including the disputed territory: whilst the
Washington Union, presumed to be the organ OF
our Administration, denounces the conduct OF
Gov Trias, in taking military possession OF
Meslla Valley, as insolent and foolish, and con-
siders the armed occupation of that territory
violation of the rights If the United States and
every principle Of international law. Yetthere
may be no war As the latest information upon
this subject, and as much to be relied upon as
any we have chronicled, we clip the following
from Ions = lett. to the Baltimore Sun, writ
ten under date Of the 9th inst:
Measures have been taken to notify the Mex
lean Government that their military occupation
Of the Mesilla Valley must be abandoned, and
that they will not be permitted TO exercise any
jurisdiction IN that territory. If Mexico shall
comply with this reasonable demand, there will
be no danger Of war; at all events, it is q
very prudent step on the part Of our Govern
ment to protfer negotiation first, even while
they prepare for the alternative of war
If Mexico should withdraw her forces and
authorities from the disputed territory, anc
consent to have the line run over again, anc
fixed according to the views of the present Ad
ministration, no war can arise from that source
! But if Santa Anna should refuse to give up al
the points in dispute, collision must sool
occur.
Il is supposed by some that Santa Anna am
the mas Of the Mexican people desire anothe
war If so they can be accommodated.
: General Garland will not have more thai
three or four hundred troops with him in hi
expedition 10 the Mesilla, hut, if need be, h
can soon be reinforced by volunteers from tn
neighhoring States.
There may be some use for the navy, in cas-
of another war, and even in Mexican wal
should Santa Anna succeed in obtaining foreig
/ alliances 1t is, therefore, sugg isted that III
Japan expedition must be recalled, and anothe
: ordered to the Pacific shore for the protection
! our California commerce. 1t might be vel
: too, to follow the example Of the British an
e French Cove nments, and convert some Of ou
5 sailing frigates into steam propeilers. IL wi
