The demand that we should withdraw our | troops from the country was so preposterous, that | we cannot think it was meant seriously; and we are therefore forced to the conclusion, that those | who are at the head of the administration in Mexico, instigated by pet'y vanity, and a wish to humbug the Mexican people, desire ta make a show ot further resistance before they capitulate. Santa Anna will not interfere to bring about a peace, uatil cireumstances appear to compel him to accept our terms. He is now playing the part of aman whose every action is guided by defe- rence to the will of the people; and he cannot raise his voice for peace while there is a single person of any influence in favor of war. | In this state of things, we rejoice to find that our | government are determined to carry on the war vigorously. We are now blameless before the world. After being victorious in two great bat- ues, and having the towns of the enemy in our | power, we have sent them overtures of peace.— in 9» spirit of forbearance we declined to follow | up our advantages, and assumed towards them a tone of friendly expostulation. They have spurn- ed our offer of peace, and now it becomes us to prosecute the war with all the vigor and determi- nation that characterised its commencement.: We must con the Mexican people of the fol- ly of holding out against us; Santa Anna is al- ready convinced. San Juan D’Ulloa must now | be ours. mipico must be ours; and the halls of the city of Mexico must resound to the beat of our drums, and the blast of our trumpets, before we panseagain. Forbearance must be thrown to the winds, and we must teach the Mexicans that our o: of peace are not to be trifled with. We have now to contend with the hostility of the | people, produced by the priests and foolish mili- | tary chieftains of that miserable nation. General Taylor has probably ere this occupied | | | such different pursuits and varied charactes; and when we shall hear of their arrival at the laa to which they are destined, there is little doubt bur that it will be coupled with accounts of their con- duct, which may cause the blush of pride to glow | on the cheek of every American citizen. We care very little about the colonel of the re- giment, although he has proved himself to bea very energetic man in this emergency ; all we are anxious about is the success of the regiment and the expedition. It has ever been our desire to treat all those concerned in its organization with the utmost kindness and forbearance. When we found the country in war we determined to throw no impediment in the way of the administration, and we intend to sustain the government in its vi- gorous prosecution of the war. If, in sending an expedition by sea to California, they overstep the mark, laid out by Gunter, they must answer for it before the country; not now, but atter the war. It is difficult enough to carry on a war with every assistance. It must, there- fore, be very difficult to conduct it when one poli- tical party and its press are arrayed against those in power, who are apparently doing all they can to accomplish a peace. But the California expedition sails “to-day. \ We shall be glad to see the ships on the other side of Sandy Hook. Over Crry Insrrrutions.—The report of the Alms House Commissioner presents a very com- prehensive picture of the things which remain to be done before the establishments for the paupers and criminals of this city,are reduced to order and efficiency. When party spirit shall cease its in- termeddling, we may hope to see the judicious plans of the present commissioner carried into effect, and the existing unsystematic, thriftless, and expensive arrangements converted to a well combined and eflicient system. As a first step, Mr. Leonard proposes that a well Saltillo, if he has met with no resistance between digested and sufficient code of laws shall be adopted Monterey and that city.

This will diffuse gen- eral joy throughout our gallant army and navy, for inactivity is more chafing to a soldier's spirits | than the most harassing duties of active warfare. Of the result of this vigorous prosecution of the war, nobody can entertain a doubt, and the only regret that we fear is, that Mexico has compelled us to-strike, when we had held ont Our hand to her in peace and friendship; ‘and even now, although cormpelled to hostile mea- sures, we shall not forget that our object is to con- quer peace, and not to subjugate a sister republic. En avant. ‘Tue Catrrornta Exrepition.—The vessels con- taining the regiment under Col. Stevenson’s com- mand, will sail to-day for their destination, and if all the wind that has blown out against it and its objects by « portion of the press, could be direct- ed to any good purpose, their sails will not flap for want of a breeze, till the land of promise shall be reached. The inveteracy with which every real and imagined flaw in the organization of this re- giment, has been dwelt upon and exaggerated by the personal and political enemies of the Colo- nel, may perhaps place the expedition for a time in ill-favor with a portion of the community, but ‘The other could receive temporarily, the children | course, but we have not heard of their meeting will, 1 it does now, fall far short of the injury | now at the Farms on Long Island, who will be | with any success. homeless in the. spring, and thus give the Com- intended to be effected. Even the clearances of the vessels have been searched for purposes of censure, though the re- marks of the censors display either a most lamen- table state of ignorance, or a singular desire for malicious representation. That two of the trans- port ships should have cleared for Oregon, and the otherfor Rio Janeiro “ and a market,” seems to be fabric fact, of which their last discovered mare’s nest is made; at the same time that sage queries are proposed how the Preble is to acquire the power of ubiquity, in order to convoy the ves- sels to their different ‘ termini.” that this clearing for a port and a market, is one very often adopted by trading vessels, enabling them to touch at such different harbors as they may choose ; and that the same facilities might pears we have not had such a violent gale for be open to the captains of the Loo Choo, Susan Drew, and 'T.

Mr. Leonard has anticipated the action of the Common Council, and has already about 70 paupers at work there raising vegetables for themselves and the nursery children, but another less active commission may suceeed him, and things fall back in the old train, if the plan is not made permanent by the necessary enactments The whole body of citizens are interested in this amelioration, for it benefits at once the relieved tax-payer, and the gbetter instructed and more heathfully employed pauper. The city owns two beautiful and well situated islands, most happily adapted by nature for the special wants of the metropolis. Blackwell’s Island holds already the Penitentiary and Lunatic Asylum, one at each end, and about a mile apart, and in the centre two larce buildings are in the course of erection for Alms-houses. One of these should be finished at once as a work-house, for that class of paupers who are unfit for full labor, or can be more profitably employed in trades, mon Council time to provide suitably for their per- manent establishment. Randall’s Island is proposed for the ultimate home of that division of the city charges which require space, and can be engaged to advantage in farming and gardening. If these suggestions are carried out with any thing like energy and harmony of purpose, our city institutions may become the model, as they are now the byword of our neighbors.

Tue Horse Disrempsr.—For some months past a peculiar distemper has been raging among horses on Long Island, carrying off many of the best [of them daily; and up to this time it is supposed that upwards of one thou- sand of these noble animals have fallen victims toit. Although the most celebrated veterinari- ans have given the subject their attention since the disease first made its appearance, no success- ful remedy has yet been discovered. It defiesthe course of treatment pursued in ordinary diseases, and in fatality and duration, is as dreadful and as quick as is the yellow fever with mankind, Tt is in fact a species of yellow fever, contagsious, and fatal im almost every instance. “ There is one peculiarity about it ‘ich is de- serving of attention, and that is, it att?icks in most instances, the best fed and cared for horses, and but rarely seizes on the poorly fed ur brokendown animal. It first attacks the head, and then ex- tends through the whole system, c ausing death in | afew hours. It was hoped that it would renaain confined to | the place where it originated, but we are in- formed thatit has recently broke out in West Jersey, and is destroying these animals with aw- ful rapidity in that region. Up to Saturday iast, twenty-five had died within a short distance of each other, in the town of Elsinborough'alone. It is rather a curious coincidence, that this epi- demic among horses first showed itself in Eng- land, and other European countries, simultane- ously with the rot in the potato, and wherever po- tatoes suffered most, the most horses and cattle died from it. If these animals had been fed with diseased potatoes we might be able to trace the distemper to that cause, but that is not the case, and indeed it could not be, because horses generally will not eat this vugetable. The same occurrence took place in this country, as the epidemic never showed itself Jiere till after the rotin the potato had commenced. It is probable that both diseases owe their existence to the same use, but whether it is in tae air or in the soil, it is impossible to say. Some persons are dis- posed to believe that it arises from infection in the atmosphere, like the yellow fever, and hope that, like that disease, it will vanish after the first | frost. Time will tel! whether this opinion is sor- | rect or not. At all events it is absolutely necessary for the | preservation of our noble horses, that some effec- | tual remedy be soon discovered, for if there be | not some antidote discovered soon, the epidemic | will, like the potato rot, extend through the ‘ country, and destroy property to an incalculable ‘amount. With this view, we would Suggest to | agricultural societies to give their attention to | the matter, and offer large premiums for any re- | medy that will stop its ravages.

There were two tickets run in the Eighteenth ward, one headed by Wm. A. Walker, the Alder ‘a id the other by Mr. Wm. P. Moss, a politician in the ward also. A good deal of eling was displayed between the friends of both lay, principally because of a large numer of paupers b = let out, on wae said, to vote for the Moss ticket. Several smail fights, and an occasional knock down, were the consequence, but the Waikerites succeeded in preventing the paupers from voting, except in a few instances.

The Court room was as usual crowded to excess with the “ gentler sex,” who have evinced the liveliest inter- est during this trial, and daily filled the galleries and the inner bor. During the time of recess, the galleries re. mained almost filled with the fair occupants, and many of them partook of a comfortable de jeune in the galleries, talking over the facts connected with the trial. Tur Derence concluded a Jong ‘appeal to the jury, about 12} o'clock, and commented very fully upoa the facts brought out upon the trial, eons by upon the jury not to be led away ‘by peels OF a too zealous anxiety, but to weigh wel entire facts and circumstances of the case—ieeling a deep confidence in their ermination to acquit the prisoner, The Court here took a RECESS Tue Arronxey Gexenat here rose, and in] his cpen- etrecotiserpeal to tneir jnigpiecuueees 10 ae the 5! ay to judgment hearts, He was "no orator at Brutus fs.” and should sppeal to facts—not to fancy—he was a plain, blunt ken man, and would not travel to the “far west” to find a model fora mother. The State of New Jersey, looked with a deep interest to the result of this trial. They were to determine whether jealousy, either with or with- out cause, would be a justification ofmurder. He doubt- ed not but they felt the awful responsibility that rested upon them. They had been asked by one of the coun- sel for the defence, if they would dare to find the prison- Sey tend he would ask ia reply, would they dare | toacquit? On the 16th July last, a deadly and preme- | ditated homicide was commiited within the precincts of their county—the prisoner at the bar was the person who committed it, and the victim, his wife, who had beew | described a beautifwl and lovely woman. The detence admitted the commission of the deed, and set up the plea of insanity in defence—that is, that the prisoner did not know what he was about, and had not his reason at the time of the commission of the fatal deed. But it could not have escaped the jury, that jealousy was the exci- ting cause for the commission of the deed. They had nothing to do with the character of the deceased—they were not trying the dead—but the living—they were not trying infidelity—but murder. They were not to go into the grave, o rake up the deeds of this woman; her deeds, let them be interred with her bones; she was beyond the reach of this court and this jury, belore another tribuual ; they too had nothing to do with Mr. Richardson ; his in- tercourse with the unfortunate deceased, be it criminel or otherwise; they too, w any considecations as to er’s father and “his friends ; they were not to screen the uilty because they were rich, and to punish the poor use they heppenes to be clothed in rags; this would not even be doneby a New Jersey jury. They would oxecute the laws of New Jersey, altheugh the venerable father and the highly valued and respected uncle, and the amiable and devoted sister of the prisoner, should endeavor to stand between them and the justice of the law. They would now approach the only question that was open fer their consieration—did they believe that the prisoner was insane, at the time ofthe commis- sion of the crime ; their next inquiry should be as to the degree of insavity, and next, if they determined upon this degree of insanity, was it such a degree, as would enable them to determine that the prisoner at the tine was unable to discover between what was right and what was wrong ; he next called the attention of the court to the case of Lord Ferrans, who was convicted of murder, notwithstanding his wealth and his influence ; he next called their attention to the case of Bellingham, ani others, also,the case of McNeughton, in England, and weaton to argue, that by the rules of common law, they should decide in this case; this law was based upon the principle, taat he who knows what is right, and does what is wrong, is to be heid responsible ; the law was based upon this principle, and they had on record that a child,twelve years of ag id been convicted of the crime of murder, by the laws of New Jersey ; the law presumed that every one who committed a crime was of sound mind, until evidence to the contrary, which would prove beyondall" reasonable doubt" the party commit. ‘ing it, were insane. As regarded the law, he would not dwell further upon that point, and now he would come to the question of insanity, that had been raised ; and first, asto the hereditary disease in the family. “They had shown that the grandfather of the prisoner had boen sub- ject to epileps: who it was proved had tilhe had arrived at the périod of over fort; in the testimony that had been submitted, thing to show that the prisoi the disease. He went on to say thi laid down by the defence, to pro Was completely removed. He the question of prisoner’s insanity, a: timony introduced SS senor it.” They introduced tes- timeny to show that at Albany the prisoner was mad, and that his eye was glassy ; but yet they had it, that, about this same time, he was engaged in love and poli- tics, which was enough to ‘any man mad. (Loud laughter) Mr. Sharp testified to facts in relation to this point ; and Miss Sharp came here to testify that the pri- soner must have certainly been mad ; but how did she spppest this? To support this opinion, Miss Sharp said that the prisoner one day came into the parlor where she was, aud without saying any thing to her; and because he did this, he must have been certainly mad! Loud laughter.) Counsel next adverted to the lectures on mesmerism, delivered by the prisoner, which could not, he contended, be introdiced to support the plea of in- sanity. He then referred to the testimony of Parson Day, who, if roiling eyes, or gloomy looks were to con- vict @ man of insanity, he would be very soon convicted thea they would come to the father, n afflicted with the disease un- years. But ere was NO- ner had inherited of ty. He would ask, why were not the acquaint- | ances and boys who were educated with him and ht | up with him brought here to prove he was insane? He | next called the attention of the jury to a netice which appeared in the Chilicothe Advertiser, and read there- from a long complimentary notice of the mesmeric ope- rations performed by the prisoner. In relation to pri- soner’s wanting to bathe at Mr. Strober’s baths in New Jersey, while ladies were thre, it did not prove him to be insane ; because there were many instances where ladies and gentlemen bathed together in the same bath ; and he (the learned counsel) had himself, no leas than fifty times, bathed in the same bath with ladies. (Loud laughter, in which the ladies in the galleries joined.) ‘This was a common occurrence. The Court here adjourned to this forenoon, when counsel will resume his address, at 934 o’clock ; at conclusion of which the Court will charge, and the will be given to the jury. 18 case Court yor THe Correction or Errors, Wed- nesday, Sept. 22 —Present, Lieut.
