observed in its spirit as well as its letter, on
our part. Under it, we agreed to give the
MeXicans the same protection from the incur
siOns of American Indians, that we accord to
our own citizens on that long range of frontier
The plea that we do not protect orr own people
there and therefore are not bound under this
article to protect the Mexieans if it ayailed us
to escape our obligation in this connection
would be mere bubble, unworthy of great
rich and powerful nation. One at which the
sense of honesty and justice at the bottom of our
national eharae ter, revolts. 1t might postpone
enable Us to escape it eventually.
Second We gain, in settling the dispute
concerning the Messilla Valley, and in the ac-
QUESTION of the additional strips Of territory, a
second and very important right of way across
Mexico to our possessions on the Pacific shore,
which in time must be of great value to our
cOuntrymen. To have obtained it on any other
terms, would have involved another Mexican
war beyond all question, to cost probably as
much paid out from the United States Treasury,
as the last war. There can be no doubt that
sooner or later We would have had that valley
and the additional strips of territory granted
under the treaty, without which the territory
in dispute would be of comparatively slight
value to US. All who remember the history of
our acquisitions Of contiguous territory, when
ever it becomes Of Importance for us to obtain
it, will realize the force Of this fact 1t would
have been ours at all hazards, and at every
eventual cost of life and treasure The treaty
sweeps away this otherwise certain cause of
future war.
Third We secure to our citizens who have
suffered wrongs at the hands Of Mexico, indem-
MITIGATION. This is the plain duty of the Gov
eminent of the United States We rejoice that
it has been secured thus peaccably, rather than
by the other alternative of nations Consider

The Russians have completely evacuated Ras-

The story of the bombardment and capture of

residents.
Paskiewitsch is making formidable prepare
tons for an attack on Sillistra.
On the goth ult, sharp combat took place be-

guns were making observations of the Turkish
line, when the Turks sailed out with two regi-
ments of regulars with cannon. After combat
of three hours, they obliged the Russians to re-

The Black Warrior Question.

We are not at all surprised to learn that there
is but little prospect of settlement of the Black
Warrior affair without trouble with Spain. We
have supposed from the first that such would be
the result. In fact, from the time Mr.. Soule re-
ceived the appointment of Minister to Spain, we
have been anticipating trouble with that govern
ment. The island of Cuba has long been coveted
by a portion of the citizens of the United States
and pretext sought for fuss that should result
in her annexation. Should our Minister fail in
bringing about such result, we imagine he
would fail in accomplishing the leading object
for which he selected Late foreign advices
assure Us that the question of the settlement at
present wears threatening aspect, and a settle
ment urged on by Mr.. Soule with extreme vio-
lence." One letter states that the American Min
ister has demanded the recall of the Captain Gen
eral of Cuba, and that he further demands that
that officer shall have power to settle on the spot
such disputes as that of the Black Warrior; that
large is also demanded, but the amount
named is so geographically large, that the wri-
ter forbears 10 mention it. This together with
the tone of the Presidents Message on this sub
Ject, some weeks since, render it quite probable
that serious difficulty will grow out of the af-
fair. AT this time, when every interest of our
country points to peace, it is to be hoped that the
evils of war may be averted, and that an appeal
to arms may be unnecessary
