! correspondent Of the New York Courier
and Enquirer, says Mr.. Buchanan s.declared to
his friends that all foreign questions are settled,
or IN q satisfactory course OF settlement. And
it Is a consoliDg reflection that the Monroe
Doctrine has received settler in this settle
ment which will settle it forever. We have it
under Mr.. Buchanans own hand, in bis last ar
ticle in the Union, (since deceased. that the
venerable humbug has gone to the tomb

BOGUS THREE CENT PIEcEs-We are inform
ed that large amount OF bogus three cent
pieces are in circulation in Chicago, and we are
gwen to understand that about one half of that
branch OF circulating medium" is worthless
The pieces" are made Of type metal, and will
not stand the test Of the detective scales.
And when We add that Juarez il an Indian,
aud his main Military pro, Zuloaga, is a niger,
and that this colored administration is one
which Buchanan has recognized as the lawful
| vi MANU. anu recognized IL as
such for the purpose OF aiding and supporting
it, as the ''liberal" Government. We think il
will be allowed that this niggerhating Admins
tlation IS getting along pretty fast. The strug-
gle IN Mexico Is, more than any thing else, a
war OF races,-the many colored popula ion
| against the whites. Buchanan takes the side OF
the streaked and speckled race.
New ARTICLE OF EXPORT. Mr.. Adams. of this
CITY, is now loading barge at the levee with
| about ~, 900 brick for the st. Louis market
luis indicates that there is but little demand for

The FLooD BELow.-The Flood Of the Lower
Mississippi has not been exaggerated At
Vicksburg, Natchez and Island lOO it is some
ihches h'gher than last year, or than was ever
before known. The levees have been penetra-
ted by cra~hsh, and are caving away rapdy at
some points. Steamboats, are unable to land
freight at any of he plantations. Many cattle
nave peen lost, and great destruction taken
place IN some localities. Cairo is again in the
water-or, rather, the water is in Cairo, and

as possible, TO be used in crossing the Plains |
the coming Summer Between three and four
thousand OF the faithful followers of Prince |
Brigham are expected here between the Is,
and 10Th OF next mouth. They purchase their |
wagons ID chicago; but they are to come here
and lay III stock of provisions, and the neces- |
sary outfit for the trip. The Mormons are |
mostly English, Welsh and Danes, and will |
