Two YEARS TOO LATE.-The papers of
 last week are full of the adventures of
 Gen. Rosecrans, our new Minister to Mex leo, who so far mistook his real mission as
 to attempt the part of an ambassador of the victorious Union to the defeated Con- federacy, as represented by Gen. Lee and other noted leaders of that party, at the
 Virginia Springs. The General seems to imagine that he has struck an entirely new
 plan, forgetting that what he was tryinp on
 a small scale, was attempted on a large scale at the Philadelphia Convention. Gen
 Lee thinks, as we should expect him to think, that universal suffrage must be abandoned. the old Southern aristocracv re-instated, Radicalism annihilated. before the South can have peace. Much wiser <" statesmen" than Lee said so in 1S66 Much wiser Northern Republicans than Rosecrans agreed with them. Will no one take pity on our Mexican Minister, and send him copies of the doings of the memo rable Philadelphia Convention, of John sons famous speeches as he "swung around the circle and of the decisive election re- turns of 1866
