call upon Congress to go to work during this
last week OF the session with the same high
spirit Let faction be forced to hide its head,
and bring up every measure to fair and square
vote. If this is not done the country will hold
every member to his responsibility before it, and
we will taie care that the whole country shall
know where the responsibility lies. If the fac
tions will not permit this, and strive by delay
and their own foolish quarrels to kill off each
others measures, when all are good, then the
President should announce at once his determi-
nation to call an extra session and he must adj
here to it. The state Of our foreign relations, the
intrigues of the maritime Powers of Europe
against us, the condition of affairs in Mexico and
Nicaragua, and the safety of the transit routes
of our great and increasing trade with the
Pacific, which is again reviving, imperiously
demand such a step from him.

IMMIGRATION IN THE SPRING--THE GOLD RE.
GIoNs OF THE WEsT.-There can be little doubt
from the spirit now at work, that when the travel
westward towards Pixies Peck and the Pacific
opens in the coming spring. there will be large
emigration in those directions. Those who de-
sign to cast their fortunes in the gold fields of
Nebraska, Kansas or Fraser river will most bro
baby seek those regions through Missouri.
and by the new road about to be opened to the
Pacific through the British possessions, by way of
ST. Paul, Minnesota. The yet unorganized Ter
ritory OF Arizona, which holds forth silver pro-
misses to the adventurous, will most probably
be reached through the Texas route. Two Co
lonization and emigration companies are already
in the field, Offering tempting terms to those who
may desire to explore the silver mines and other
mineral secrets Of that region, Mexico and Gen.
trail America. One of these is under the ma
nagement of General Heningssen, and the other
under that of his quondam filibustering coafrtn
Colonel Lockridge.
We publish in another column to-day some
very interesting and late accounts from the Ne
braska gold regions, representing the mining
prospects as most promising, and the climate of
that vast region salubrious and delicious. The
roads, II appears, are quite accessible, making
the journey, with its bracing climate, fresh and

The steamship Black Warrior, which left Havana
on the 18th inst, with the mails, passengers and
valuable cargo, for New York, went ashore on
Rockaway bar during dense fog early yesterday
morning. She was in charge of pilot at the time.
Three steamtugs were despatched to her relief
yesterday afternoon, and as she lay easily on the
bar there is little doubt but that she got off at high
water, unless the northwesterly gale of last night
prevented the tugs from rendering assistance. Her
mails and passengers were taken of in safety, and
with our files and letters reached the city early last
evening There is little news of interest from Ha-
vana. An unusual number of American visiters
were enjoying themselves on the island The
weather was delicious, and the city healthy. The
sugar market was frmer, while freights remained
as last reported The Black Warrior has on freight
2OS 900 Mexican dollars from New Orleans and
Havana.
We have accounts from st. Johns, Porto Rico
to the I'd inst. The brig Julia, of Boston, had
cleared for New York in ballast, but was waiting
the result of the trial of her captain, who was
charged with wounding his mate with a sabre, and
also wounding the mate of the brig Francis Jane,
of Baltimore, by shooting him with gun. Both
the wounded men were recovering We are not
informed to the nature of the difficulty nor the
names of the persons wounded.
Barbados advices of the 9th ult. state that the
weather was moist, but more rain was wanted
The produce crop was going into market in small
quantities. Flour was dull in price. The public
health was very good. The steamer Metacomet,
Lieut.. Macomb, of the Paraguay expedition, sailed
from Barbados Jan. l6 for Pernambuco.
We have files of papers and correspondence from
st. Thomas dated on the 1st inst The Danish war
steamer Heimdal had arrived at the island, on her
way to Dominica. She had commissioner on board
empowered by the King to demand Of the Domini-
can government reparation for the seizure and
detention of three Danish vessels during the admin
istration of President Baez. General Santa Anna
corresponded as usual with his partizans in Mexico
but il would seem if no result followed as he
was employed actively in his favorite amusement
of cock fighting. The weather was very fine and
the island healthy. Flour sold at Sc IS a IS per
barrel, according to quality Freights were
taken for Turks Island and United States at nine
cents per bushel Of salt.

atmosphere in this city during the past week, the

The PARAGUAY EXPEDITION Me-
DIATIoN.-One of our evening contemporaries
thinks that there is some truth in the statement
that Brazil had offered its mediation in our diff.
fculties with Paraguay and that the offer had
been accepted. 1t will be recollected that this
news went round from Rio to Lisbon, from
thence to London and st. Johns, from which
point we received it by telegraph. The only cir
cumstance which would at all 60 to confirm it is
the fact that the flag ship, with the American
Commissioner on board, had arrived at Monte
video at sufficiently early period for the offer
to have been made. Against all such reason
ings, however, we have the positive assurance
of the government that neither the American
commissioner nor commander was authorized
to accept an offer of any kind in connection with
the objects of their mission. If any offer has
been made, it will be necessary for Mr.. Bowlin
to refer it to the President at Washington be-
fore he can act upon it, Judge Bowlin
was directed to ascend the Paraguay in
small steamer, and then, if he could not bring
Lopez to terms, to call in the aid of the fleet
In presence of such positive instructions, it is
not at all likely that the American Commits
sioner would take upon himself the responsibility
ofaccepting proposition which would only have
the effect of delaying the accomplishment of the
objects of the expedition.

The third discourse of the Rev. DR.. Cheever on

crisis of the California gold fever
AFFAIRS IN MEMCO.-The great variety Of
correspondence and news which we publish To-
day from the city ofMexico Vera Cruz, Guiana
juato, and the northern frontier of Mexico, by
way of Tubac, present the strongest practical
argument in support of the Presidents recent
message to Congress that could possibly be
given. ~
1t will be seen that a state of utter confusion
and discord rules there, to the destruction of all
government and the peril of every foreign life
and interest. The European Powers have gath
cred over the carcass of Mexico, and are gorging
upon it. Spain began, opening the ball at
Tampico, and preparing large armament in
Havana, of land and naval forces, which were to
cross the Gulf She was stopped in her designs
only by the energetic foreign policy enunciated
in Mr.. Buchanans annual message to Congress.
England and France have followed suit, and
Vera Cruz, which comprise the greater part of
those OF the republic, and their ministers
have waived their demands against Miramon,
the robber Of British and French subjects, and
are cheek by jowl with him, preparing to advance
against the stronghold of the constitusionalists
at Vera Cruz.
The advent of Lerdo de Tejada at the latter
place, and his at once taking post in he Cabi-
net, are good signs for the liberal government.
From his political skill and the constancy of
Governor Zamora much may be expected.
They have an abundance of artillery, and may
only be in want of the skill to use it. A splen-
did chance is open to some of our young artil-
lery officers to volunteer for the defence of Vera
Cruz, where they may gain reputation at short
notice. The letters which we publish from that
city exhibit a clear and truthful detail of the
measures recently forced upon the government
by the allied feet, and the preudcial effect they
must have upon all foreign interests.
In the city of Mexico the farce that has re-
Gently been performed, in the various Pre-
sidential intrigues, resulting finally in the
election of Miramon, is fully detailed. What
the character Of this new leader is may be seen
in the summary of his recent acts given by our
correspondents. Active, ambitious, revengeful,
intolerant, and needless of the means he takes to
gain his ends, little good can be expected from
his triumph. His past course demonstrates what
his future will be- and there never was a time
when it was so necessary to confer upon the Pre-
sident the power of energetic action in defence
of our citizens and our national rights as now.
1t is to be hoped that Congress will act, and ena-
BILE us to preserve the small remnant of respect
and national dignity which we yet retain in the
eyes of the banditti of Mexico.
