While the wine Is yet red and the stars are still

Let us lVel In the power TO enjoy that is given,
The earnest on earth Of the glory in heaven;
In The courage that ever, In mirth or In sorrow,
Has strongth for each day, and hope for each
with smiles for the future, though tears for the

And jOy in the hours that steal from US 50 fast;
For The friends whose brave spirits have gathered

Later from Mexico,

By the arrival Of the steamship Golden
Age, from Panama, at San Francisco, files
Of Mexican papers were received up to
March LIST, from which we extract the fol.
lowing: ......
FoRTREss OF ULUA-In consequence Of
the detection of the garrison at Ulua, Don
Ignacio de Ia Live, General and Command.
er-in-Chief Of the State Of Vera Cruz, has
addressed proclamation to the inhabit.
ants and garrison Of Vera Cruz, and placed
that city ms state Of siege. The most en-
ergetic measures have been taken by the
Supreme Government to soon bring back
the rebels to their duty.
The mines of Sultepec, which had been
taken possession Of by force Of the reac-
tionists, were abandoned by them in conse-
quence Of an attack made upon them by a
section of National Guards led by Prefecto
d. Juan Savedra.
General Juan Alvarez writes to o person
in Mexico from Coyuca, as follows: In
accordance with my promises and mysduty
Of supporting my own Government, have
ordered the departure Of 1900 men, to
show that the south can defend our just
cause, and there are plenty Of loyal citizens,
friends Of liberty, who will always support
the rights Of the people; and If these are
not sufficient, IL, 900 or $4,000 will start
with me at their head to save the Govern
ment and the Institutions" H''ili
The reactionist General Ursga has been
taken prisoner by the Government troops,
and was expected in the capital with all his
satellites. The greatest precautions are
being taken to prevent his escape, aud on
his arrival he will be tried. p.
Santiago Vidouri has published several
communications addressed, to the Governors
Of the States Of San Luis Potosi, Zacate-
cas-, Jalisco and Aqua Calientes, encoura-
ging to maintain the union Of the Republic,
and to fight against all the enemies and
the projects of the reactionists.
Generel Jose Maria Yanez, before his
final departure from Sonora, addressed o
farewell proclamation to its inhabitants
He says: L shall never forget you, my
dear countrymen, and if hear that you
are happy, shall also feel happy. Be
true t0syourselVes have confidence in the
Almighty; do your duty as men and good
citizens, and believe in the sincerity Of my
affection for you, with whom l have lived
SO long" % @.

It is very apparent that another costly
expedition will have to be sent out to Jap
an by Government, before any practica
advantage eau result from the so-called
opening Of the ports conceded to Commo
dore Perry. The treaty made by the
Commodore is valuable only as an entering
wedge for further negotiations. 1t furnishes
an easy means of communication with the
Japanese officials, through the medium oI
the American Consuls permitted to reside
at Simoda and Hakodadi; but the repre-
sentations Of those Consuls will have nc
effect upon cunning but impressible peo-
pie, unless backed by o formidable display
Of power, such as that which Commodore
Perry presented. The Japanese people,
like the Chinese and Siamese, are willing
enough to trade, to hold unrestricted inter
course with strangers. They have nc
sympathy with the jealous and exclusive
policy Of their rulers, but their wishes are
little regarded by the despots who govern
them The exclusive policy so pertinacious-
ly adhered to for centuries, is selfish alto
gether., 1t has been maintained because
the rulers were afraid the spread Of infor-
nation among tn people, growing out Of
free intercourse with strangers, and the
presence of free thinking foreigners in their
dominions, would infect their subjects with
revolutionary notions, and tend to endan-
ger the absolute and despotic powers they
exercised. Hence it is necessary to ope-
rate upon the reason, IL not the fears, Of
the soVereigns, to obhin any further con-
cessions of commercial privileges. For all
practical good, the present treaty is dead
letter the Japanese officials are the me-
dgm through which alone trade can be
effected, and they, by an arbitrary regula-
ton, refuse to receive our dollar for. more
than thirty or thirty-fve cents The con
sequence Is, such an enormous price has ia
be paid for the wares and products Of the
Empire, that . profit upon their sale d
hopeless, and trade is rs efectually stopped
as if il were positively prohibited. Our
Government ought to adopt prompt aud
energetic measures TO remedy the evil
Our CohSuls might broach the subject, and
a special Minister follow It up with such
powers as would enable him to settle with
the Japanese the true relation Of our cur
rency with theirs. Small as the matter
appears to be, It is Just the difference be!
tween nohInterc6ursea and profitable com
mere6, whether the dollar is to be received
for few cents, or at its relative value. A
convention ought at once to be framed "a
decide this question. 1t appears so simple
matter, that, when properly represented
to the Japanese, it is more than probable d
fair arrangement could easily be made. II
it were no. for the interposition of Japan

with strangers, it would be ah easy matter

RkFEs OF PAssAGE.-The high rate ol
fare BY the steamers keeps back many who
desire TO emigrate to Nicaragua. Until
the present steamer the price has been $40
for steerage tickets; but now this is in
creased to $50. Every few days we hear
that the Nicaragua and Panama lines have
united, but l believe these rumorS are pre-
mature, although there Is no doubt that ne.
gotiatiOns to that end are on foot, and
that they win be eonsummated within o
very few weeks. In suit now on trial, in
this city, between A. G.. Sloo and the pro
prietors Of the U. s Mail Steamship Com

value, we could not force it upon them, nor
compel them to trade, except upon their
own terms. Butthe value is Fixed by these
meddling officials, and from their decision
there is no appeal. If o supplemental
treaty could be negotiated, whereby some
thing like the real value of our coin should
be allowed, il would be binding upon these
official brokers, and at once pave the way
to an extensive and lucrative commerce.

Laurence City, Jan. 10, 1856.
Yesterday morning about two hundred
Of the Missourians made an attack upon
our friends at Easton, Leavenworth dis

such a demonstration as compelled ouI
friends to postpone the election until the
next day. After demanding the delivery

it began to tell, when they returned it with
some effect. After our friends had dis
persed, they seized haywood, Brown and
other prominent citizens, and will probably
hang them before morning. They murder
ed Brown. My own impression is, they
will use this difficulty as pretext for an.
other invasion and general attack upon
US. We want munitions Of war and must
have them, and our friends must be pre-
pared to sustain us. We will be able to
hold out for some weeks, but must eventu.
ally be overwhelmed, unless we can have
assistance. Send us guns, particularly ar
tillery, through Iowa, by safe hands.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 25. The Lawrence

The Kickapoo Rangers threaten hos
Titles again at Easton, saying that they
will avenge Cooks death by killing the
friends Of the murdered Brown. The Free
State men are preparing for a conflict, but
will only act on the defensive. Two mount
