Mexican Hirs.

Rumors Of startling interest come from
Mexico. That land Of misr,Ic and metal, Is
under the Dominion of arnachy. CONTEND.
ing factions, headed by ambitious chieftains,
give it the horrors Of civil war. Although
no implicit reliance can be placed on recent
intelligence from that quarter, yet It seems
plainly evident that SANTA ANNA still lives,
but has seen peril and more than one defeat.
ALVAREZ pursucs him with deadly hatred. No
mercy will be given by the conqucrcr. SANTA
ANNA resembles SATAN in bearing charmed
life. Though often in the hands Of enemies
and driven to exile, yet he las shown an incurc-
able habit of returning to govern, more power
full than before. lie has u beautiful faculty OF
turning the groan of defeat into the psalm OF
victory. Nothing is settled. Nor will II be-
until the manifest destiny and annexation spirit
Of our Government shall have planted its flag
industry and enterprise there.

Cost Of War.

The difference between waging war Mt home
and abroad, will he amply demonstrated before
the close Of the present European war, at least
to France and England and in such II way too,
US to prove concIusivcly that the allied forces
fight ut great disadvantage, ny the following
little fact abundantly proves
Itappcars that the conveyance alone of eve
ry British soldier to the seat of war costs about
fl00 $780,
From the above il seems that the bare cost
Of transporton, will support at least ./our
Russian soldiers on their own soil, for IL whole
year anil although the result Of the war may
leave victory pcrchcd upon the banners Of the
Allied Powers, still when the cost of the war
is summed up, it will appear that the Allies
have expended vastly more money than their
enemies the Russians.

The Times has long and rational article on
the Cholera question. 1t commands our hearty
endorsement. We believe genuine Cholera Of
Asiatic origin, unknown in Minnesota. Papers
in Iowa and Illinois interested in turning emf
grafton from our fertile shores, will doubtless
raise a hue and cry about every symptom ap-
preaching to that complaint. Let the whole
matter be strictly investigated and the the
consequences will befar from detrimental.
The Times again is harping on that pardon
of MONROE. Our last word with respect to il
has been said. People judge for yourselves!
The Minnesotian says:
Row AT SrlLLwArER.-Wel learn that the dep

We learn that Mr.. John Tope, one Of the
divers employed by Messrs. Wells, Gowan 4
Green, in their operations on the lake, lost his
life while experimenting with q submarine ar
NOR, q few days since. The circumstances at
tending this lamcntabc casualty as related
to US by Mr.. Green are substantially as fol-
lows:
1t appears that Mr.. TOpe was DESTROYS Of
testing submarine armour preparatory to
commencing operations on the wrecks which
thoscompany design raising this summer, and
on Friday afternoon last, in company with
three others, started from Cattaraugus Greek
In small vessel of about twenty tons burthcl,,
and proceeded some distance from the shore
where the water was about forty feet deep
Mr.. Tone descended into the water three times.
The FIRST and second time he went down some
fifteen or twenty feet, each time SIGNALLING TO
those above to raise him. In both instances
he remarked that the foul air did not escape
fast enough to allow him to breathe freely
Previous to going down the third time he de-
tached the spring from the valve which allows
the impure Dir to escape from the helmet and
desired the man who held the signal line to
observe carefully when he should rcach the
bottom (sonie 40 fect) and be prepared to III
swcr his Signals He then entered the water
HuO uuu ucSCcHucu uUOut ulTty Icet, WHICH,
those above thought the armor felt unusually
heavy.
The signal line was immediately jcrkcd to
ascertain whether anything was wrong, but re.
ceiving no answering signal, the diver was i'm.
mediateiy raised from the water. On opening
the helmet, the unfortunate occupant Of the ar.
NOR was found to be quite dead, presenting a
horrid spcctacIc-blood ooxing from his eyes
ears, nose, and mouth. Dctaching the spring
from the escape valve prevented tho air from
initiating the arinor below the neck of the d.
yer, and when II Is rccOcctcd that ut the depth
of thirty feet the pressure Of the water IL equal
to fifteen pounds to the square inch, and hence
there must have been pressure OF ut least ten
tons upon the lower cXtrcmities OF the diver,
and this tremendous pressure forced the vital
fluid to the head, bursting the blood vessels
and thus causing immediate death. Not more
than a minute and u half elapsed from the
time he entered the water, to the time he was
hoistcd upon the deck of the vessel. The press
urc of the water upon the lower part OF the
armOr on his two previous trials caused q
slight rush of blood to the divers head, caus-
ing dizziness, which he imagined was prOdu-
ccd by foul air, and he insisted upon descend.
ing again with the spring detached from the
escape valve, which he said would allow free
current Of mir to pass in and out Of the armOr,
but moments reflection will convince any one
that this alone was the cause Of the mcIanclt-
~ casualty. The body Of the deceased below
the neck appeared rs II the blood had been en-.
tirely forced out Of it, presenting an appear.

The War in Europe.

The posture of affairs in the old world pre-
sents nothing strange to the student Of history,
and close observer Of passing events. A revo-
luton in the political and social system which
will remove ancient landmarks, overturn gov
ernments, and forever blot out the lines of de-
marcation between liberty and despotic rule,
is surely among the dispensations Of good to
this generation. France and England may
combine to work out their own schemes Of
selfish aggrandizement, at the expense, per-
haps, of bankruptcy and national ruin, but it
will not save the Moslem from being swept
from the face Of Europe, nor stop the republic
can march of Empire around the world.
NAPOLEON, from his lonely exile in st. Hell
ena, prophesied that Cossack power or repub-
lican principles would command the Cont
nent- His visions of political foresight are in
q rapid process Of realization. Time has shown
us that he was not only the greatest warrior
and statesman, but also the prophet Of modern
times.
Russia has marshallcd immense armies and
is steadily pushing them on to Constantinoplc.
Prussia and Austria have not taken sides with
either power. The alliance, after months Of
vain-glorious maniiestOcs, and declarations, has
at last landed few thousand men near the
seat Of war, and captured a few merchant ships.
The proudest and most powerful fleet known
to history, has accomplished nothing worthy
{ men ion.
America has an interest in this war. Let it
60 on. 1t will give us the commerce Of the
world. 1t is within the possibilities of human
events, that it may raise ireland from her
bonds of degradation, and cause her to sit hap
ny and free in the midst Of the seas. The Vi
tai spark of life has not left the Hungarian
people. The thrOes of m earthquake is felt
under their land. Let Austria once commit
herself, in the upheavirg will commence, and
