DEAR CoHEr After posting m,
letter Of the 18th and gsttingup town
learned that the steamer Texas hal
arrived from Mexico, bringing, hot onlJ
important intelligence, but also Gehl
Gadsden, our Minister to that country
with avery important treaty, which
has been negotiated between Uucle
Sam and Uncle Santa. Mr.. Gadsden
did not remain here long enough To
let the newsmongers get hold Of the
entire contents Of the new treaty, but
rs some ofits stipulations were limited
at which are also confirmed by the
reports, circulating at Vera Cruz, when
the steamer left that port, / will re.
peat them for Your benefit. First,
Uncle Sam buys the Messilla Valley,
for which be pays Uncle Santa some
20 to %, 000, 900 dollars, the purchase
includes . large portion Of Sonora,
and it is also said all Lower California.
BY this transaction the treaty Of Gaud-
aloupe Hidalgo is done away with, and
those tribes Of Mexican Indians that
have 80 long scostrged the northern
frontier Of Mexico will come under
Uncle Sans thumb, and stop will
at once be put to their lawless ravages.
Second, all the difficulties relative to
the Tehuantepec way are removed and
the railway will at once be put in pro-
gfess. Third, Genl. Lombardini is
dead, and Santa's old and faithful
friends, Almonte and Wool have been
elevated to the rank Of Lieutenant
Generals. Fourth, the Walker repub-
lie had scalked of Ton keen jump

times; at least 90 many Of that band
Of heroes as were SO fortunate to be
able to get away with whole SKINS
Now, one can give very clear and
propable prophecy Of the future of
Mexico. The hand Of Uncle Sam,
though light and unfelt 10 neverthe-
less strong and vigorous. We have
got possession of all of her worthless
territory on her North, we have got a
line Of transit over her reserved do
ninions and we shall not be slow to |
make use Of so important an advan-
age. Mexico won't get it back in a |
hurry, but will be more likely to loose
more with it. Finally, Santa Anna
will die peaceably, it may be and his |
successor to the Mexican Throne will

,ne else, and thus the absorption of
Mexico will end-"So mote it be-" as |
