The MEXICAN TREATY.-The Mexican treaty Just
negotiated by Minister McLane with the Juarez
Government, is warmly commended by the New
Orleans press The Bulletin of that city says:
If the treaty is ratified by our government, as we
hope it may be, it should stand up to it come what
may, revolution in Mexico or no revolution. Our
government should not dance attendance upon any
faction of an hour that may chance to get posses
sion of any part of the country. 1t has recognized
government in Mexico, and good or bad, we are
never likely to find one there that is better
stable. We therefore in favor of standingby the
government we have recognized through thick and
thin, and compelling every and all factions there to
respect any right and all rights that may acquire
by treaty with the government that recognize.
The experience of the past in Mexico is sufficient to
demonstrate to the salts action of any reasonable
mind that, if the Juarez government cannot stand
none can. Let us therefore strengthen it by every
possible that is right in itself and thHs assist
to stand
We recognize in Senior Lerdo de Teiada, at the
head of the Treasury Department of the Mexican
Cabinet the ablest and the most liberal man in
Mexico. He has shown that he is in sympathy with
the genius and spirit of the age and such man in
Mexico, and government with which he is con-
necled and of which he is probably the soul, we
ought to support, and thus to do whatever
to bring order in Mexico out of chaos.

have proved little better than nurseries of vice

lively injurious to the prisoners themselves.

ACCIDENT AT NiLEs.-On Friday last, large

burst, instantly killing Mr.. James Parker, the
engineer. Mr.. Parker was standing directly
behind the iy-wheel, when a fragment struck
his head, crushing the skull to pieces, and scat
teriDg them about the mill He had been en-
ployed in the works for long time, was a
steady, industrious man, and leaves wife and
one son, some IL years Of age.
One piece Of iron struck the steam chest,
perforating It, and allowing the steam to escape.
The wheel was eighteen feet in diameter, and
weighed about ten tons. The arms ofthe wheel
were Of cast iron, and weighed about fourteen
hundred pounds each, yet they were thrown
abont like straws, piece of one Of them striking
timber twelve inches square, and breaking it
in two. One fragment of several hundred
pounds weight fell on the roof, which after
wards fell through, happily without injuring
any one.
The damage done TO the works is not heavy,
but as Messrs. Ward & Co. will take advantage
Of this forced stoppage of the machinery, to
make thorough repair which they had for
some time contemplated they will not resume
operations for a short time.-W Warren Chron
