The n. Y. Journal of Commerce, one
of the ablest organs of the Administra-
ton, and thick-and-thin supporter of
Mr.. Buchanan's Lecompton policy, Sc
verely criticises the inefficient man.
agemcnt of the Mormon question. OF
the project of sending Peace Commits
sioncrs, it says it is too late, and adds /:
Had the Government sent Peace
Commissioners last summer, they
would have saved six millions of dol
lars, and perhaps long and bloody
war, involving the cost of hundred
millions. There is not the least doubt
that Gen. Johnson will march with
his army into the valley and the city
of Salt Lake early in May, or perish
in the attempt. He will not be baulk-
ed of a fight. Every letter from him
and from other officers of the army
prove this.

The greater part Of the Information which we re-
ceiye from MexicO-that, at least, which. passing
beyond the limit of accomplished facts, undertakes
to fresbadow the future by letting into the feel
ings, sentiments, hopes and wishes of the Mexican
people-unfortunately comes from source not TO
be implicitly relied upon. The newspaper CORE
spot dents, from whom almost exclusively our infor
nation of this sort is derived are all of them foreign
eIs most ofthem residents of but short standing, and
few ofthem able or willing TO discriminate very exact
" between their own views of what would Dc good
for Mexico and the view Of the subject actually
taken by the Mexicabs themselves. Some recent
ly published correspondence between Nldaurr', the
Mexican General BOW at the head of si1irs in New
Leon, Coahuia, and TamauGpas, and LocAridge
and HenDingsen the fllibusters who had offered him
their services throws some light upon this subject.
A story has for some time prevailed among tbose
who hsye sought to nculcate the approaching dis
solution of the Mexican Republic, of di.union pro-
jects entertained by the Northern States and Of
scheme for organizing distinct republic to include
ttose States under the name OF the Republic Of
Sierra MadIe. 1t has been supposed and alleged
that Vidaurri would take advantage of the pend
ing war between him and the Zuloaga Administra.
ton at the City of Mexico, to carry this project
into execution. But in recently published cor
re.pondence between him and Col. LOckridge any
such intention on his part is entirely denied. l, sp-
pears that Lochrdge wrote from Brownsville, 10
Texas, toward the end of March, offering Vi
daurri assistance in men, arms, and his own per-
senal services in bis pending struggle against the
Central Government, on condition that after
yindicatine the liberties OF Northern Mexico, he,
Leckridge should be allowed To organize n one of
the ports Of the Gulf under Vijaurri's control an
army for landing in Cuba and assisting the friends
Of ipdependence in that island. To this letter
vidsuIri replied that the Liberal party in Mexico
did not desire any foreign all, being itself strong
enough TO conquer lie enemies alone, aud loving its
country too well to expose it to the slyhes: chance
of injury However, in case war should break out
between Spain and Mexico-which az that time
Santa Anna was supposed to be lnstisating-and in
case as .istance from abroad became absolutely Ne
cessaiv. Locsrdges oiitr might be entertained.
This was followed by second letter from Lock
ride. within about a week after, warning Vidaurri
against Gen. HeLLpeseD, then on his way to the
ro,tbern Ne xcan States, and whom Lockridpe
desciibtd as an agent Of Walker with flbustering
purposes in yiev-Purpeses against which, while
again bis offer Of assistance he emphstcal-
|, p,o'ested. Unfortunately for Lockridge, letter
of bis had me,nw Lie appeared in the Texas papers
b,snc UP for recruits on the basis Of precisely such

As to Danger from the Dewly-imPorted slaves, the
