am authorized TO say that the sending Gen. Scott TO
the Pacific coast s simply to prevent complications in the
San Juan Amir. It implies no censure upon Gen. Har-
ncy Gen. Scott selected because Of his experience
and clear Judgment and because there other &C.
neral who could be sent TO supersede rank Gen. Har
ney without implying disapprobaton. The administration
does apprehend any serious difficulty, and hopes the
British government will be brought to undoubed
right TO the Island Of San Juan Lord Lyons had long

the questions in dispute between the two governments

his advicos with reference the treaty the
those in possession of our government. They gave him
authority TO settle points in dispute He hopes the
governments may, by each giving way little on the dis
puted question Of protecting the routes, agree
upon treaty The Mexican government is willing
10 concede the privilege the United States Of protecting
by its forces the Tehuanepec route and route from the
Rio Grande 10 the Pacific, but only when Mexico cannot
give protection and when Mexico calls upon the United
States for protection The administration regards this as
privilege not worth the paper to write on much less
the two TO fouD millions asked from this country The
administration will make treaty this matter, unless
government and not Mexico, be allowed to determine
when protection may be necessary and force is TO be
used. Here is the difficulty Mexico must yeld or
treaty on this subject viii be made.

am lover of all womankind,
And r.,aidens old are not old maids to me;
When beauty fees, there still remains the
mind
And mind is surely better company.
What though the harp be new, and trimmed
with gold,
Does richer music tremble in its tone,
Than when the gaudy polish has grown old,
And nanght is left save sweet accord alone:
Or is the gem held in less high esteem
Because the casket is deEaced by tune?
A woman's mind priceless gem deem;
Her heart harp that music yields sublime;
So wonder not that years hide not from me
The jewels glow, the harp'S rich melody.

THE INTELLIGENCER
TO THE UPPER DOG IN THE FIGHT.
By JonN SMITH.

Some days ago we published "Pome" eS'
pressing intense sympathy with the 'under dog
in the fight"
John Smiths sympathies run the other way
md he requests room for the following express
sion Of them:
The world likes success, and the mighty great
The peasant kicks, and carcsses the King;
don'tca dime what other men say,
This is the song to sing.
The world gives applause to the man who sue
And awards him honor and place;
So let us fill to the brin and shout with strong
lungs
To the rider that wins in the race.
The world hates the fool, the sniveling fool,
Who scars but fails in his fight;
And talk as we please, we all hurrah
To the uppermost dog in the fight
What right has dog, the great world says,
To allow himself under at all;
He diSCraces his race and deserves to be kicked
To permit himself meanly fall.
1t might appeaso .the great world, the mighty
great world,
And keep everything we'll balanced and right;
Were there no upper dog and no under dog,
Could both equal be in the fight
But for me, will shout with the strength of
my lungs,
Nor for caviiling fools will stop,
For the dog of success, that glorious dog,
Who looks sharp to keep upon top.
