The Departure of General Rosecrans.

General Rosecrans, our new Minister to
Mexico, sailed yesterday in the steamer Gra-
NADIA for the scene of his diplomatic labors.
Perhaps he wisely delayed thc day of his de-
parture until the election was over. He knows
now, in all probability what the policy Of the
next administration will be with regard to
Mexico, as Grant is to be at the head of it, and
no doubt General Rosecrans understands full
well the views of the President elect upon that
subject We do not know what budget Of
instructions he may have received from Mr..
Johnson's administration; but, judging from
Mr.. Stewards very uncertain views on the ques-
ton of Mexico and our other foreign interests,
we appreheud that General Rosecrans carries
with him q pocketful of glttering generali-
lies, which may mean very little as regards
the settlement of the future of Mexico. All
things considered, the war in that country Ia
going on pretty wellas well, in fact, as can
be expected, seeing that war is a chronic dis
case there. Chief against chief and faction
against faction is the order of the hour
Afflicted with hybrid race and distracted
with the notion of State rights which was one
of the chief causes Of our civil strife, the
Mexican people must be rescued from them
selves before the country can become peaceful
or prosperous. All this General Rosecrans
understands, and looking to the policy Of the
coming administration of General Grant, be
will doubtless at once place himself in such a
position with the Mexican government as will
pave the way for the fulflment Of the mani
fest destiny of Mexico. It is not unlikely that
this destiny may bs accomplished during
Grants administration of affairs. and it might
be well to look into the rather anomalous and
disturbed condition of Cabs ut the same time,
with view to like solution Of the difficult
ties OF both countriss--ths distracted land OF
the Montezumas and the ''onoe faithful isle.

Tue DRMoRALUATroS ~ WALL STREET
The signs OF decentralization in Wall street
ara rapidly spreading, and although money
was easy at the legabrate In currency yestor-
day prices declined heavily and the stock mar
kct closed in state Of semi-panic. The
failure OF one of tho Milwaukee banks and
the run upon others in that city have excited
widespread distrust. as il is well known that
these and similar institutions elsewhere In the
West are large holders of the highly inflated
speculative stocks dealt in on the Stock Ex-
change here. The chief anxiety Of holders
of stocks is not TO be able to continue to hold
them. but to find marae. to sell out on, and
as prices are very far above the range of real
values we warn the hanks to contract their
loans on this class of collaterals. We are en-
tcring upon q period Of revulsions like that
which England passed through before the re-
sumption ofspecie payments, and all hands had
better take in sail before il Is too late.
