Treaty with Mexico Ratified

The John L. Stephens brings news from Aca-
pulco that Minister McLane's ultimatum treaty
had been duly ratified and signed at Vera Cruz
By its provisions the United States Govern
ment espouses the cause of the Liberal party,
and obtains thereby its cordial cooperation in
carrying out the terms of the treaty. 1t is agreed
that Mexico shall cede to the United States the
right of way over the Tehuantepec route and
ceItain lands on either side; free of all cost al
so, Lower California, and portion of Sonora,
as foothold for the protection of American in
terests in that quarter; also, the right of our
Government to introduce troops into the coun-
try at their option The sum of 100000 is
to be paid by the United States great por-
ton of which is to be retained for the purpose
of satisfying claims, and to provide ammunition
for the of such citizens as shall enroll them
selves in the army of the Liberal party, in ac-
cordance with their pronuncamentos.
The news of the signing OF the treaty caused
great rejoicing among the Juarez adherents
throughout the country.

A Senatorial Fa1seh0od.,

We think if any man is disposed to make
mnggins of himself through the papers, the ed
itors thereof should refuse him the opportunity,
just as they would refuse to aid in the perpetra-
tion of cruelty upon any other animule. Hence
we think the editor of the Beacon should have
assigned the letter published in his paper of
Wednesday, headed Senatorial Falsehood"
(by the way, new sort of falsehood) to the
flames instead of putting it in priat.
al hare just learned by telegraph from above,
that report has been put in circulation in your
town that Gov. Weller has withdrawn from the
canvass in the race for U S. Senator The re-
port is malicious fdlsehood got up by the friends
of Denver in the North to injure Weller"
Now, suppose such falsehood had been put
in circulation, how could it have injured Gov
Weller at the capital, where the votes that he
seeks are If the race for Senator were before
the people, such report, just up IN the eve of
the day of battle might injure Gov. Weller-but
now-poh the mans certainly demented. Gen.
Denver has no friend who will make himself so
great an ass as to put in circulation or believe
that any body else has put in circulation so rid
icuous Munchausen. The idea of John B.
Weller Withdrawing from 90 canvass in the race
for United States Senator" or any other office,
so long as he has the slightest possible chance,
is belied by his whole political life. Three
cheers from Weller's opponentsl] Hold on, fell
low Democrats. The same is true of every man
who is a candidate for United States Senator
So long there is ghost of a chance of cleo
ton they will not withdraw. Ay, so long as
they can perceive the ghost of chance hang
ing on the hook of hope by its eye-lids, they
will hold on. Hence we say man must be a
perfect simpleton who would attempt to fool the
public by starting the r,port that one of them
had Withdrawn before the fight had commenced
Anything else might be swallowed by the pub
lie, but not that

DEATH OF WASHINGTON IRVING An Eastern
writer chronicles the death of this distinguished
man, as follows:
Another genial spirit has flown from our
midst. Washington Irving is dead He died
on Monday, November 2sth, at his country seat
at lrvington, near Tarrytown, about twenty
miles from New York Dissolution was not un-
expected. This distinguished man, for several
months past, suffered from Pulmonary COM
plants, and was subject to violent attacks OF
asthma, which his advanced age could not
stand. Long and truly he lived for the glory and
honor of his country; death links his name in
seperably with those of Cooper and Prescott, and
makes up the great triumvrate of American
authors who ennobled and enriched the litera-
ture of the nation. Who shall fill the void his
decease has left F.? Where shall we find another
to take the place of " Geofray Crayonn in the
hearts of our people?
Washington Irving was born April 3, 1888, in
the city of New York, of Dutch and English pa
rentage. Having died on the 2sth ult., he was
seventy-seven years old, less four months.

A True Woman's Plea for Faith in
Woman.

Ed. COURIER At the request of friend
end you the following lines, in answer to Hub
oards Thoughts of an Hour. published in tn
rehama Gazette of Dec Sd, 1859:
You say that woman wrought you woe,
But maybe that you little know
The reason why she acted so;
You say she spreads her witching vile,
And tries to win affections smile,
To sport with but a little while;
Does man do better by the heart
he wins, ofttimes, with borrow'd art,
Do his wounds leave no ranking smart?
There was girl, life's sunny bloom,
Thus far unstained by doubt and gloom,
Not yet had reach'd its radiant noon,
And loom'd before her pure and fair,
Her eyes look'd in another pair
And droop'd to see the worship there,
And stamped upon that forehead smooth,
She thought she saw eternal truth,
To shed It's glory Ger her youth.
Her womans heart gave all it knew
Of love and trust, as free as true,
Unthinking perfect faith to rue;
IL
The sheen of womanhood defaced,
And stood fury ice-enessd
Ees, cold as ice to outward ken,
What cares she for the love of men,
1t can 5e nought to her again.
no wonder that her heart-strngs rust,
Their glory trailing in the dust
And all that makes life pleasant, crush'd
She scorns the very name of man,
Who left her without aim or plan,
Denounce her still who will, who canl
She seldom scorns the honest love,
That places her all earth above,
And from its idol will not move
Does she lack heart, and soul, and brain,
As often those who thus complain,
Lack skill to reach the hidden chain?
True, true, she sometimes will forget
Her sacred womanhood, but yet
Who often spreads for her the net?
Oh keep your faith in woman still,
She ne'er has been, and never will
Be wholly heartleSs, wholly i'll
She quick responds to kindness touch,
What would earth be without cen such ?
If SHINING much she loveth much "

An Extraordinary Story.

The following strange story appears in the
Union da Var: Sir Edward Edgarton, nephew
OF Slr Robt. Peel, has just left Nice for Grasse.
Ihfs young man has been occupied for several
years IN procuring the information necessary to
discover will made by one of his nncles leav-
ing MN fortune estimated at thiriy-two mil
lions-part of the fortune consisting of thirty
houses IN London, and an entire street in EdIn-
burgh.
This will, after the death of the testator, could
not be found, and all attempts to discover it
were fruitless. In August last, the Rev. Mr..
Hlmmel, Catholic priest at Dublin, received in
confession declaration to the following effect
The opulent testasor some time ago sailed for
Italy in the Vile de Grasse, steamer which
sunk near the lies d'Hyeres. All his effects and
papers were lost,bu be himself was saved be
was, however, afflicted with rheumatism, and
having had to stop at Nice, died there.
Just before his death, he made his secretary
write to his nephew to beg him to come in all
haste 10 but the secretary, supposing that he
would make new will in favor of the latter,
and holding spite against him, did not send
the letter. When he made this confession, the
ex-secretary was on his deathbed, and he PRAYED
the priest to do what he could to repair his
wrong. Sir E. Edgerton is now about to en-
deavor to obtain, at La Grasse and Cannes, in
formation as to the precise spot in which the
vessel went down.
he hopes that the trunks of his deceased un-
Gle may still be intact and that in one of them
he can find the will. A company is being or
ganized in London to assist him in getting up
the vessel. He has consented to advance thirty
thousaLd pounds in English money, and to give
live millions of francs out of his inheritance, if
the will is found at the bottom of ocean. In the
lost vessel were large sums of money and other
articles of value belonging to other persons, and
the question has arisen whether the English
company may not retain all the wealth it may
fish up.

More Revelations,
The New York Herald of Nov. 2Sth, has tn


The New York Herald of Nov. 18th, has the
following:
Ever since the 9th of March last n book,
called Compendium of the Impending Crisis of
the South, has secretly circulated in large num-
bers in the Northern States, indorsed by pri-
vate circular, to which are appended the names
of the Governor of the State of New York, of
an ex-Judge ofour Supreme Court, ofthe Chair
man of the New York Republican State Com
mlttee, ola large number of wealthy and re-
spectacle citizens, and sixty-eight members of
Congress.
In its pages the mask of moderation is COM
pletely thrown aside, the Republican party is
completely abolitionized and its intentions to
hurry on remorseless and bloody revolution
is openly proclaimed; :" Slavery must be throt-
tied. No man can be true patriot with
out becoming an abolitionist. Every
victim of the vile institution, whether white or
black, must reinveSted with the sacred rights
We believe the Northern peopl have
been too scrupulous. They have ap-
preached but half way to the line of their duty
The non Shareholder of the South are thus ex
horted: "Do not reserve the strength of you
arms until you have been rendered powerless to
stIlke :" and the Shareholders are told sit is for
you to decide whether we are to have justice
peaceably or by violence, for whatever, conse-
quences may follow we are determined to have
It one way or another"

B=ss" The London Literary Gazette says that
when a lady desires to compose her mouth to
oland and serene character, she should, just
before entering the room, say Bosom, and keep
the expression into which the mouth subsidies
until the desired effect upon the company is Wis

sumo distinguished and somewhat noble
bearing, not suggestive of sweetness, she should
say Brush, the result of which is infallible. We
knew painter who used to say when lady
sitter desired to make small mouth and look
pretty he told her to say Flip, but when the
mouth was already too small and needed en-
larging, he told her to say Cabbage Perhaps a
due attention to these rules might be useful to
