NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Sunday, February 22, 1846. Weekly Herald. A third edition of the Weekly Herald will be issued this morning, with the late foreign news, and the full particulars of the wrecks on Squan Beach. We have been obliged to do this, in order to supply the increased demand. What is Peace !—Sunday Reflections. It would be utterly impossible to say any thing upon the blessings of peace, or in deprecation of the incalculable miseries of war, which would not be triteand common-place. All, perhaps, that can be said upon this subject has been already said a thousand times, and repeated over and over again. And yet, notwithstanding, peace is indeed a blessing, and hardly too much can be said in its favor—hardlytoo the poker and tongs. This is the definition which | much can be done for its preservation. Wise nations, as wise even as ourselves have been plunged into long and vexatious wars, which have weakened, crippled, and, eventually, ruined them, There might be such an inextricable entanglement of circumstances, such a provoking and complicated course of events, that, with every desire to maintain peace, yet we might be driven into war, and find ourselves, alniost against our will, involved in all its horrors, its blood, its cruelty, its injustice, and its devastation. If, then, as wise nations as our- selves have unnecessarily and rashly been partici- patory in the horrid deeds of war—if circumstances beyond all our control might have provoked and hurried us into war—whom have we to thank for the inappreciable and never duly appreciated blesa- ing of continuing peace, but that great and Al- mighty Power who alone controls the events and circumstances of nations and individuals, and directs the hearts and minds of all people as He wills? We have, indeed, as a nation, great cause to acknowledge His power in our behalf, and to be thankful to Him for seen and unseen, known and The Late Snow Storm—Democracy of Slelghing- A snow storm in this city is at any time a great | thing, provided it be deep enough to allow our plea- | sure-loving people an opportunity of riding a few miles without grating on the paving stones with which our streets are paved. The late storm was of this character, and we need hardly say that it was fully taken advantage of, and that every thing at all approaching a luoner in appearance was brought into requisition. One of our corps took a sleigh ride yesterday, with the intention of detailing the incidents of a de- mocratic sleighing excursion in this region, for the edification of our Southern readers—those‘unfortu- nates who have never experienced the pleasure of | sitting in a cold room, with their feet in a tub of cold water, a draft blowing in their faces, and keep- ing time to the whistling of the north wind, with the immortal Franklin applies to the exciting plea- | sure of sleighing ; but although it may have applied |to the amusement in his day, we are apt to think | that, as regards the sleighing on. the Third avenue, | this definition will not apply at the present ume. | We accordingly jumped into a Harlem sleigh, and, | With the assistance of a couple of pair of nags, reached the suburbs of the city without any serious | drawbacks. The way, thus far, was not remarka- ble; but after we had fairly got out of the city— | after the last of the brick and mortar was left halt a mile astern—ye immortals, what a scene we found ourselves a part of! Old men and young men, married and single men, crusty old bachelors and | their intended help-meets, lawyers’ clerks and doc- doctors, merchants and boot-blacks, stock-bro- kers and parsons, tinkers and tailors, and others too numerous to mention, in every kind of vehicle, from an ancient hack carriage on runners, to a wheel- | barrow on the same foundation, all agog for a sleigh tide, the last, probably, for the season. Here would be seen the Wall street speculator and his wife, with his segar in his mouth and his robes around him, Frenon Dirtomacy—Presipent Rosas anp M. Gurzor.—The readers of the Herald will remember, no doubt, that several weeks ago we published the secret correspondence of M. Guizot with President Rosas. ‘The letter from the French Minister to the President of the Argentine Republic, was carried by a certain Captain Page, a secret agent, and con- tained propositions for private arrangements, ex- ceedingly curious, and couched in terms of the | most careful diplomacy. Rosas, indignant at the deceit, published the letter to the world. We now find that there exists no doubt whatever | of the genuineness of the letter we published, nor of the facts we then related. Advices from Paris concur in establishing the authenticity of our infor- } mation ; and we find the Freach government organ in this city also confirms the truth of our statement, | by referring to the letter as authentic, under the | head of Pans correspondence. | We mention this circumstance, not merely as a | Proof of the correctness of our important state- | ments, but to call attention to the fact itself, as an | interesting portion of secret history ; which, from | ite apparent incredibility, was received with some suspicion by many, at the time we made it public. | The affairs on this continent may yet become of | ance between France and England. Very Large rrom Mexico.—We have re- ceived {by the packet ship Norma, Captain Bar- ‘ton, from Havana, the Faro Industreal to the 10th inst, It contains intelligence from the city of Mexico and Vera Cruz to the 31st of January, ten days later than our previous advices. According to these accounts, Paredes remains in the undisturbed enjoyment of the power which his military force acquired for him; and his course and conduct seem to make it appear that as far | ae regards the good government of the country, and | the honorable conduct of the government, the power could not have fallen into better hands. | All accounts of revolution, subversive of his au- unknowa services, and fora preservation in peace pretending to be enjoying the amusement, and | thority, which date prior to the Slst of January, are and wonderful prosperity hitherto. When Washing- | making believe that he was happy ; although the | falsified by the intelligence we have received. No ton led our dispirited and little armies; when an | deep cast brow told that his soul was still in the | Movement up to that date was made, or evi overwhelming enemy has been ready to sweep away, apparently, our lost and forlorn hope, how often has fle interposed, and suddenly we might sey, miraculously, raised a mist, as in one case—a each with a smile of paradise on her lips, and a | '° the reported pr sudden flood, as in another—which saved our lit- | bloom on her cheeks sufficient to tempt some one. | tle patriotic band from destruction, and baffled the well-laid plans and almost certain hopes of our enemy. If, in the present crisis of our affairs, when war, with all its evils, appeared to be inevitable—if, at such a time, the general mind has been dis- posed to a peaceiul and harmonious course, has been inclined to receive or propose con- eessions which will avert the dernier resort to havoc and bloodshed—if, in such a vibrating and | doubtful posture of affairs, circumstances have all | been caused to yield, and bend, and modify them- selves to a complexion favorable to the conserva- tion of peace—we say again, whom should we | thank but the All-wise Ruler and Disposer of all events, whose kind and watchtul care over us, has | until, whiz! a snow ball aimed by the truant achool | co; been, we believe, again signally manifested to- wards us, in this eventful juncture ? He has raised up our nation—He has kept it and preserved it—He has carried it by his blessing, to an enviable height of greatness and prosperity; and may He not only continue todo so, but may we also increase and continue in acknowledging gratefully, and compre- | hending wisely His goodness. | Yet in the face of all this, our rights must be | majntained at all hazards. National honor must be | preserved inviolable. If need be, we will fight, and | desperately, too. Oxicin or Orgcon.—In all the numberieas dis- | oussions which Oregon has given rise to, anything has been said of the meaning or origin of the word Oregon isa word of Indian origin, and signifies the High Ridge, and 1s properly the name of those | mountains which we call, not perhaps very appro priately, the Rocky Mountains. We say not appro- priately, because nothing is indicated by the term | which may exclusively characterize them, since all mountains are more or less rocky, and may claim the name as well as these. This name is also cal- | culated to mislead. Many persons are apt to ima- | gine that the Rocky Mountains are a vast ridge of rocks; whereas they are, like all others, green and | beautiful elevations, presenting all that rough variety of rich and picturesque landscape which is to be | observed among them all. The Oregon Mountains is more properly their name, and is perhaps more euphonious than their present more familiar appella- tion. These vast mountains are a continuation of that long range which constitutes an immense system of mountains, commencing at Cape Horn, the Southern extremity of the great western hemisphere, running from Cape Horn throughout the entire length of the American continent. It has been familiarly called the back-bene of America, from is analogy to that osseous ridge which runs through most animals, and which seems intended to give Strength and unity to the softer parts. In South America, that portion of these mountaine which traverses the country 1s called the Andes; in Guate- mala and Mexico, their name is changed, and they are called tho Cordilleras; north of Mexico they assume the name of the Rocky Mountains, or the Oregon, as we have shown they were originally ealied by the natives. The entire length of the whole chain is estimated to be nine thousand miles. Between the Oregon Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, is a wide strip of land which belongs, on the north, to Russia, and on the south, toMexico. The middle portion, and the least valuable of the whole, 48 it contains but one good river, and little more than one plain or valley of any fertility, called the Willamette Valley, belongs at present, by treaty, to the United States and Great Britain, by whom it is held in a sort of joint occupation. As long as this joint occupancy 18 in force, neither party can be said to have aright to the exclusive possession of the country. Hence will be perceived the justice of Mr. Polk’s views, in recommending a dissolution of this partnership, by giving the proper notice, according to the terms of the treaty. And this view may satisfy every one that the giving this notice has no necessary connection whatever with warlike intentions or demonstrations. The word Oregen having been used of late with almost nauseating frequency, this change of the subject to a geographieal and etymological direc- tion, may give some relief. In the mean time, it 1s not improbable that we have been “ barking up the wrong tree.” The monster of war, it it should ap- pear at all, will very likely arise in another and dif- ferent quarter ee | 1s a chance for you to dip yeur pencils in the | tore he would be distanced. Run away ! run away No sooner would they be well out of sight, than a thundering democratic two siory sleigh, with the ominous name of “Oregon” painted in golden let- ters, and containing a lot of the ‘‘ boys,” would be hailed, making a noise sufficient to wake the seven sleepers. Here 1s a chance for the writers of books on America. Out with your pencils, Madame Trol- lope and romantic and lie-loving Marryatt ; “de- tails” of democracy.

Do you see the careful driver, listening with attention to the conversation | of his “gues:s,” enjoying their jokes; yet man- aging his trusty steeds with the hand ot experience, boy meets his eye, and he gives up the reins to his friend to drive until he clears his daylights of the | unwelcome intruder. See with what carefulness | and regard to his passengers, his substitute avoids | that impetuous fellow, who, regardless of the in- | junctions of the livery-stable man, seems to be trot- ting against time, his sole aim, apparently, be- ing whether the segar butt in his cheek will be exhausted before he reaches Cato’s.

But we are warned to keep out of the track, and we shalldo it. Hurrah! Hurra! Here comes Pearl street clerk, in a splendid sleigh, drawn by a splendid nag, for which somebody suffers. Away he goes, a hundred rods ahead of his fellow clerk, who, with his intended in company, would die be the race is continued, until coming in contact with acharcoal box on runners, his nag dashes ahead, whilst he and his intended are dumped on the white | snow, amid a erash of timber and the jeers of the | passers by.

See how the old lady fidgets—but, heavens! they have pass- ed, and miraculously escaped meeting them. “Fifty four forty !—Hurrah!” proceeds from that large sleigh containing the Empire Club; and “54 40—54 40—and a little beyond,” is vociferated by their friends, as they pass by, in answer to the salutation. Away they go—horse-flesh and runners above par. “ What the devil is this feliow about?” “Lord, he will run into us!” “Keep the right side!” exclaims our driver. He receives in answer that they would send him to the serious resting place, and with the speed of lightning, he just touches our vehicle, and leaves us behind a mile in | an instant—while his competitor, a black-leg from Park Row, strains his animal to the utmost, in order to win the segars. But lo! who is this coming down at such a furi- ous rate, and with such a splendid establishment? No matter. This is enough to show the democracy of sleighing in New York. ous.
