News about Mexican Affairs.

The beautiful little war steamer Santa
lima, built by Westervelt & Co., is attract
ing good deal of attention at the foot Of
Governor street, East River, where she is
getting ready for her departure for Vera
Cruz. She is pierced for fourteen guns, al
though she will only mount ten. These
guns are twcnty-four Founders, and they
give the steamer formidable appearance.
Her officers and crew consist of citizens of
the United States, and, with the exception
of the captain, their enlistments are for two
years.
If the rumors in circulation, however, are
to be believed, General Santa Anna will
never see the pretty little craft bearing his
name among the vessels of his navy
1t is said that General Alvarez, the oppo-
nent of Santa Anna, is now in this city, ell
gagged in fitting out an armed expedition
against the present Mexican Government.
Three or four vessels have been named as
connected with this business, and among
others the propeller steamer Benjamin
Franklin, which was formerly engaged in
the trade from New York to southern
port.
She has on board ten thirty-two pound.
ers and all the ammunition required for a
naval engagement, if such thing should be-
come necessary 1t is further rumored that
she will sail from this port several days be-
fore the Santa Anna, and take the latter
vessel at sea. Her officers and crew consist
of Americans, all of whom are to be liberal
lv rewarded i'm case Of SUCCESS
The other vessels of Alvarez's party are
said to be ship, brig and schooner They
are preparing for sea at some point on the
North or East river, but the work scarr;ed
on so secretly that the precise locality can
not be discovered.
General Alvarez, though supposed to be
in Mexico verifying Santa Anna, it is
stated was seen in this city several evenings
last week. The most interesting rumor of
oil is that he was constantly in company
with Santa Annals friends This has given
rise to suspicion that Alvarez will make
an easy conquest of the war steamer after
her departure from this port. 1t is even
intimated that there is an understanding be-
tween the opposite parties to unite at sea
and place the Santa Anna in possession Of
Alvarez.
Some of the seven million dollars paid by
the United States to the Mexican Govern
ment for the Gadsden grant will likely be
carried to Vera Cruz in this steame", and
this is also said to be an inducement to en-
list Americans in the expedition of Alva-
rez. After the capture Of the vessel, the
plunder is to be divided.

What 10 Love 4!

Love has been written up by enthusiasts,
and sneered down by cynics, till the very ma
ture of that mysterious phase of the human
mind has become shrouded in contradictions
and fusion inflated into folly on the other,
the noble, unselfsh passion that, hand in hand
with honor, beckoned the knights Of old along
the path of time, is now sneered at as the fond
imagining of romantic boy, the vain deluson
of silly girl. "Such-a acne is in love- is at
once an excuse for any act of folly, extrava-
gance and self conceit, of which the patient
may be guilty. "They are both very young !;
they will know better in time" says middle
age, shrinking back into the coat of mail that
self has years been hardening for its Defence
and the kindliest instinct of our worldly ma
ture is ridiculed as an absurdity. Surely this
must be wrong the very essence of true af
fiction for another is total abnegation and
forgetfulness of ourselves; and perhaps the
noblest attitude of man is that in which he casts
are too prone to bow, and throws off his allie
glance to the tyrant self, whose chains, grow
ing with our growth and strengthening with
our strength, become daily and hourly more
unrelenting. When two people can live far
apart and never forget can undergo toll, pri-
walton, perhaps cutting sarcasm and stern re.
buke, each for the others sake when the watch
es of the night bring back only the one image
when strain of music, glance of sunshine
or a scene of beauty recalls the one loved face
when they arc prepared to confront the bat
tie of life under every disadvantage, and take
the inevitable journey, weary and afoot, so
they may 60 hand in hand depend upon it
there is something more than human in the
instinct which prompts such self-sacrifce and
self-denial-depend upon it, when we scout
love from the face of the earth, we are casting
off the one last link that connects US with the
angels of heaven; we are doing our best to
wither the "aowrets of Eden )" nor can we
complain that it is the fault Of any but our
selves if we find, indeed, that "the trail Of the
serpent is over them an"-Bentley's Mis-.
