declining nomination for 4 seat i'll the Mis-
souri, Convention. Mr. G. is a native of this

His talents have won for him high position
in the regard of his fellow citizens of St. Louis,
and he had been urged by many of them to
announce himself as a candidate for the high
position named, which he Inodestly declines
in favor of more experienced and fitting men.
While desiring tho restoration of the Union
upon the basis of the Crittenden resolutions,
he says:

pose any man who is in favor of coercing 4
State which may exercise its right and power
to withdraw from this Union at any time,
when, in its opinion, the Government does not
execute the designs for which it was lnsti-

terday morning on finding the ground covered
with snow, about seven inches In depth, and
more falling The air was perfectly still, and
the trees We're festooned most beautifully with
snowy wreaths. The earth, however, being
saturated with previous rain, soon absorbed
the snow, and the mud and slush became In
tolerable. The sovereigns about the polls
never had such a time before.

LATER PROM MExICo.-The Steamship Ten
nessee. which arrived at New Orleans, from
Vera Cruz, brings dates from that port to the
23d and from the capital TO the 10Th ult--
Juarez had made his entry into the capital
amid great rejoieings, and there We're but two
or three small armed bands of the beaten FAC
ton in the field, which might be easily dis
persed Isidro Diaz, one of Mirainons ex-
ministers, had been caught at Jaiapa, and an
order was transmitted from the government
at the capital, TO shoot him and every clergy
leader as soon as they might be taken but on
the intercession of Miramon's wife, the order
was countermanded within a few hours. me
whereabouts of Miramou is not known. The
last heard of him was, that he had escaped
from n party which surrounded him by the
free use of his revolver. The election for Pre-
sident took place on Sunday, the Goth ult.,
with what result is, of course, not known,
though il is supposed by some that Lerdo de
Tejada stands the best chance, since Juarez
and Ortega have lost ground by their mag
unanimous clemency TO yanquished enemies -
The new government will have their hands
full. A number OF foreign ministers have
been dismissed, the governments OF France
and Great Britain have claims TO prefer, ana
war with Spain is regarded as probable
The now Congress will meet in April and
with all these matters and the difficult task OF
reorganizing the country on their hands, their
labor will not be light.
