If it means to enter a ©O'“ntry by force of arms, reize upon ite revenues and administer its goverpment, then these Arizona expedi- tions have no taint of fi'ibusterism about them. Why, the rpareely populated, degenerate and impoverished States of Sopora and Chihuahua would starve the foraging par- ties of a single regiment in three months. The churches and cathedrals can scarcely boast a dozen silyer Madonnas and gold crucifixes, and as for State revenues, the va- rious Mexican goveroments, kindly assisted by the en- terprising bande of Apaches, have most effectually wiped out almost every eource of taxation, If, however, omi- grants, who go to develope the resooreer of a coantry which pillage and murder baye long devastated, in armed bgdies and under such military orgenization as is con- sidered noceseury—ready to work peaceably while they cep, but Mght when their common rights are invaded—if euch are flibuaters, then all the Arizona and Sonora expe- ditions gotten up were emphatically Slibustering achomes.

Tesn imagine Mr. McLane, on arriving at Vera Cruz, being met bz a member of Juarez’s cabinet, and a secret con. suitation heing had. The minister of Juarez speaks of the firm hoid his party bas upon the affections of their people—tbe certainty of its ultimate success— tho similarity of the principles they ere fighting for to those so cherished by the North Americans of the United States, ond the sympsthy it should call for: th epecutiarty friendly epirit entertained by Juarez toward this mighty nation, #0 abiy represented in the person of Mr. McTene, and the mapner in which it would be strepgthened and perpetuated sy recognition on the part of the United States, &c.

The Mexican diguitary acq riesces entire- ly in thie view, but suggosie that it must inevitably bo postponed a ehort time, for even if the danger of its creat ‘ng @ vetional reversion in favor of Miramon could be risk- ed with impurity, the archives of the Land Office being in Mexico, it would be totatly imposible to consummate the sale vntil Juarez was fairly seated at the capital. Mr. McLane doce not require a treaty to be drafted for future confh mation, or compel the wily Juarez to commit him- velf, cven privately, but at once recognizes his govern- ment, reposing, in the security of his innocence, upon tho niere words of @ Mexican. Juarez isin the post‘ion of a gambler, who has staked and lost ten thousand doilars, and 18 now willing to risk bis last thousand in the hope of winning back the ten.

In anticipation of sending Mr. McLano on his trial of the powers of negotiation, General Twiggs is notified that it would be extremely inconvenient for armed Americans to embarravs our delicate relations with Mexico, and at once appears the Jackronian proclamation of that stern old veteran, which at once crushes every Arizonian moye- mont, thongh all in readiness to push on. The character of General Twiggs is too well understood to lead sensible men into attempting to trifle with or evade him, and shen he declares no armed vody of emigrants shall paes throvgb the coontry under his military jurisdiction, the prin fn the emigrant associations only shrug their thoulders, and carry forward the expenses they have in- corred to the account of profit and loss. ‘There ts but one inetance known, I believe, in which the old veteran wae outgeneraled, and as that is quite amusing, T will give it to you. Gen. Twiggs is strict disciplinarian and metes out the justice of army regu ations with but elgot tempering of mercy. A few Rho ago a private of dregeons, whose company was 8! at San Antonio, incurred a punuukment provided for an offonce he had been guilty ot, and to wreak his spite upon the Commander bimeeif. With a correct insight into the Gen- «als charpoter, he selected the tenderest point for his thrust. One night he stole into Twiggs’ stables with a razor, and shaved his favorite charger as clean as dressed leatber. No signs of the rage this mean action would naturally creato wero observable next day in the counte- nence of General Twiggn, but before night he had discoy- ered and clearly implicated the guilty party. Arresting the eoldier bimeef, he conveyed him to the stall from which the barbarously use! animal had been taken, and securely fattened him, with a halter, to tho rack, which was plevtifully supplied with hay and oats, but contained not @ scrap of ermy biscuit or a drop of grog. For two days the soldier subsisted upon this fare, until it might Dave been tuppreed he was transmuted into a centaur at least, apd the poor fellow was the subject of endless camp jokes and murunent. On the third ovening General Twiggs re-entered the otal], and with bis same stern, im- movaale expression of features, quietly stroked ai patted the shoulders of the amateur barber, exclaiming, “ fy Charley! ikere, Cuariey! stand auill sie!” The soldier iboughe to bimeelf this was ‘‘adding insult to injury,” out it was auch a capital joke, it would be unkind in him not lo aid the veteran jokor in carrying it out, So neighing eDd snorting, in true equine style, ho commenced about apd “kicked up betind,’’ fo auch @ sudlen an vigorous manner, one of his besls was planted in the General’ abdomen, and the old man bent over apoachless, rth po ws ‘coud recover breath, be called ae Ser- , FeF geaut,” aud as his orderly Came rupving fa, tho Sorsetoen Ser mbters At the thonghta of what might result trom bie friekinese, ‘Sergeant,’ gasped the General, “ect this mau loowe, Ho would raiher be a horse thaa a whi maa, by God [The tern “ white w 416 rection of the Union, when used with an emp'atl? oto. supcleMon, Means a class of beings three remuves above a gepGeman,” # ucar ae [can avcorian.} As 2004 Gd ID Poaulbor Me, MoT Sco ms W State, | in 4797, at Washington, Cereral decisive proclamation would to perate Pike's volunteer your lances for the of dowe- trodden Sovora’s hidden recources that grim wud mill stands in the way.

But enovgh of Mexican affairs, and now let us say a Word about local matters. 4 very common but not suffi. ciently dreaded epifomic has been raging lately in our State, and many aobitious and talento? men have been cut down in their pristine glory to be consigned to the un- wept tomb of obscurity. This epidemic was the political fever, though its type wus that of parusxuahip alone, no tymptoms of principle having exhibited themselves ia kby of the stages of thie disease. Ite flame is now tlick- ering low from the vncleaaliners of the fuel with which it was fed. The two rival hovges ia the democracy of Louisiana— the Capulets and Montagues—are those of Soalé and Sil- cell. While the former chieftain was engaged in diplo macy and dueling at the Court of Madrid, the latter stole such a march upon him at home that he hus retained the upper hand ever since. Soulé, the impetuous, brilliant and determined, secured the ascendancy at first; but Sli- dell, the quiet, cool headed and uotiring, won in the long race. It is something like the story of the bare and the eoail, Until the Know Nothing were routed in the ‘State the rival factions dared pot come to battle, bat io the nomination for our third representative in Oongress two summers since, their quarrel was reopened, and in the nomination for Governor and State officers last moath @ regular pitched battle wes fought, in which Slidell gained @ decleive victory, though by small odds, his fec- tion having buts majority of three efter exercising the rigbt of rejecting such delegates az pleased them.
