Another Speck of War.

From what we can gather, we are led
to believe that the difficulty between this
country and Mexico is assuming very
seriousaaspect. Tt is said that our Minis.
ier has been sustained by the Admins
tration in his course upon the "forced
loan" question; and that the Mexican
Government having refused to make the
yeparatlon demanded by him, he has been
ordered home. which Of course places the
: two countries in hostile attitude. 1t is
also intimated that the Mexican Minister
at Washington will receive his passports
whenever he expresses desire to leave.
The fact that we are SO willing to quar-
rel with our weak neighbors, and SO slow
to resent insults offered by the more pow
erful ones, does not speak very well for
US as nation.

"A New PLAN OF DRYING PEAcHE.

tum, the supplying of which would be
very acceptable to all who are in the ab-
it Of drying this most desirable fruit for
table use. A lady friend of the writer
has found it out and communicated it to
him, and he will here describe it. Make
a tolerably strong ley with wood ashes by
boiling them in water-let it stand after
being boiled sufficiently until the ashes
settle to the bottom. when pour off the
lye. Then put the peaches 10 be dried
in this, aco,na, but not hot enough to cook
any; and rub them in it awhile. Then
take them out and wash them in clear,
cold water. This process will take the
farze entirely off, and leave them as slick
and smoothe as nectarines, with nothing
but thin skin on them. Then cut off
andadry as usual Peaches dried in this
way will be found very sweet, and have
all the advantages Of not, losing any by

The Acquital of Lane.

The acquital Of Lane On the prelimi
nary trial for the murder ofJenkins ma,
seem strange to many, but is not wonder
full to those who have read the evidenc,
thoroughly. Itwasa neighborhood feud
in which both sides came armed to thu
conflict, reckless Of the lives endangered
by the encounter. The Leavenwortl
Ledger says:
"The Court were unanimous in theil
opinion; and we feel fully justified in say
ling that the evidence adduced for and
against the prisoner warrsnted them in
arriving at the conclusion they did.
We have readtbe entire testimony care
fully and impartially, and arrived at the
same conclusion several days since.
We defy any lawyer in the country to
come to any other conclusion, after a
careful and impartial reading of the tes.
timony. 'ef. E4.e
We are no political friend of General
Lanes. We despise every political SEN
timent that he ever uttered, at the same
time, as public journalist, we feel it in;
cumbent upon us as public duty to as,
sent TO the judgment Of the examining
court, and to accord to them all praise
Col. jenkins was particular friend of
ours, and we are free to confess that our
sympathies are in that direction, but we
determined TO hear the final result ere we
spoke one word. ';l'.'.-.
The testimony proves conclusively that
Col. jenkins was the aggressor, accom-
panied by three friends, all armed l.; and
that the party were closing in on Gen.
Lane. and actually shot at him twice ere
he showed signs of self protection, and
the man who would not protect himself,
If in his power to do SO, would prove to
The world that he was unfit to live, and
loo contemplate to die. Gen. Lane ac-
led just as every man should act under
like circumstances, and public opinion
will sustain him." a a

extraordinary statement.-"Mrs.. Ruler,
who lives on DR.. Williams farm in Mans
field went out on Wednesday evening OF
last week to milk young COW, accompa-
MED by a small dog. The COW having
calf but a fe " days old, at once drove
the dog from the yard. and then with great
fury came at Mrs. Ruler, and struck her
with one horn upon her right side below
the stomach. producing at once The
expulsion Of the intestihes and dmen-

and remained in that condition about
two hours, at which time DR.. Williams

POLITICAL,

/ We cannot but feel amused at the fig
aring and manot uvreing Of politician
just now--the fellows become very mucl
exercised whenever the people manifest
disposition to attend to their own busi
ness and thereby deprive the leecbes O
their vocation. Democrats and Repub
licans are as busy as bees. The time o
the formeris is devoted TO taking care Of th'
refractory members Of the party ,who,d ,du
ring the Lecompion excitement, kicked uI
their heels SO furiously as to get one foot
at least, over the traces. Every appli
ance imaginable is being made use Of te
bring the troublesome critters back into
the harness. Many Of them, it is said
when approached by the gentlemen whose
duty it is Apply the lash manifest a dis
position somewhat similar to that Of a
certain long g-eared animal spoken Of in the
spelling book. In these instances the
tactics are changed-thc lashis dispensed
with, and system Of coaxing adopted,
when something tangible in the shape Of
dollars and cents is made to take the
place Of the "peck Of oats" whose seduc-
tive influences used to be brought TO bear
upon the animal we have alluded 10. 1t
is just as natural for politician 10 take
and follow the scent Of fat Office as it is
for the descendants Of Balaam's friend, a i.
S. S. Esq, to be seduced by peck Of
oats" t'l* "t" 7it''
While this is going on in theDemocratic
party, the Republicans are no less zeal
ously and earnestly engaged. The olive
branch is presented to all the various d.
visions of the opponents of the present
administration, some of whose services
they dispensed with very uncerimonious :.
ly at time when they deemed them
selves so powerful as to need no assis-
lance. II is amusing to see them open
their arms wide and bid old line Wings,
Americans and Anti-Lecompton Demo
Gratis TO rush into their fond embrace, and
assist in the laudable and patriotic enter
prise Of saving tie Union once more.
We say this scramble for the spoils be-
tween the leaders and asprants of the
two parties before the meeting ofthe va
rious nominating Conventions, is anu.
sing, to say the least of it. When men
attempt TO overrule the will of the people
~ political chicanery, sopbistry, and un-
air artifces, we will be excused, if in re.
gard to the result of the nominating con.
'entions, we use the language ofthe wo.
nan when her husband and the bear were
ighting--we "don't care a darn which
whips" S
After the candidates have been pre-
ented to the people, we, Of course. like
III other good citizens, will have our
'hoice, and will then, probably, have some.
hing to say on the subject. We at pres
mt occupy the position said to have been
coupled by certain "bound boy at a I
usking"-nothing to say-from the fact I
hat we do not publish strictly party
aper. In other words, as far as The ma
ing OF the nominations is concerned it's
one Of our funeral. 4 .ic0f {

SHIP BUILDING ExTRAoRDINARY.- 1t is
clear that ship building is merely in its
cradle. The Yankees arc determined not
to be out-reached by the Leviathan. We
are informed that at New York they are
building a ship SO tremendously long that
there is no part of the ocean sufficiently
broad to enable it to turn. This difficulty
is to be obvated by the slip having two
wheels one on tile American end, the
other on the English. The passengers
will simply have to walk across. Long
before you have had time to stroll from
one wheel to another, you will be at your
journeys end. There will be cab stands
at various points for the convenience of
those who cannot keep up with the speed
of the vessel. An omnibus will also start
at the commencement Of each trip. II
guarantees to reach the other extremity
of the vessel precisely at the 81 me that
the vessel touches at the desired harbor,
For the accommodation Of pedestrians,
persons going from England to America
are requested tokeep on the right hand
side Of the vessel, whilst persons walking
from the American continent to the Eu-
ropean are directed to go on the left
There are to be shops on both sides all the
way. The mere rent Of these is expect.
ed to pay for the outlay Of the building.
The ship is not yet christened, but it is
expected that, out of compliment to the
Yankee, ii will be called the Stretcher.-
