We have forgotten, if we ever kurw, who has the credit of having first given currency to this sage aphorism. We believe it is not found 111 toti- aem ret 6m. in rolomon s I roverlis. but it wax known, probably, before his day.' It is certainly j known as a Iruth in ours, and is properly appre- ciateo, l.y tins time, in our own Senate. An ex nipljficxtion of its force occurred iu that body. last Saturday. A Resolution waa on its second reading, allow ing to James Page, tlie Democratic Doorkeeper of the Senate lust Session regular pay for one day's service at tluj. beginning of tltist Session, and also his miieage in coming from home to Raleigh, lo wait at the dosr, until the Senate was duly organ ized. True, he was a candidate for re-election, and came for that purpose; but it was maintained by his friends, that thai made 110 difference. He was an officer of the Senate until another was ap pointed, and as such, was entitled to his pay for services performed until his successor was chosen. It was getting on swimmingly, when Mr. Francis called for the and IS ay. This meant something uobody knew what. The Democrat ic Senators rubbed their eyes and looked at Mr. Francis, and then they looked at each other, as much as to say what does all this mean? Mt. Wilson at last rose, and evidently expecting to catch something, begged to know of the Sena tor from Haywood what was in the wind now? Was not this a proper Resolution? VVas not Mr. Page entitled to his pay? Wm he not Doorkeep er of the Senate, aud obliged to perform his duties until his successor regularly took Ihe keys? Had he not come from home, and performed his duty as Doorkeeper at least for one day, and ought he not, therefore, to be paid? He frankly confessed that he was committed in this matter. Mr. Page had counselled with him, and hail been advised of the justice of hia claim. He would say the same thing, if he had come from Haywood. He desired to vote nnderstandingly. If it was uot right, and according to law and. custom, he wonld not vole for it He appealed to the Senator, to declare hia object in asking for the Yeas and Nays. . . Mf. Francis smiled, looked steadfastly at the stucco work over the Speaker's Chair, but aaid nothing. Mr. Speight aaid that he had jnrt been inform ed, by the Principal Doorkeeper, that he bad re ceived such pay heretofore, and he knew uo rea son why it should not be granted in this case. Mr. F. was again interrogated as to his intention. The Senator from over the Mountains still did not choose to answer, but he looked things unutter able. The Democrats were still more distressing, ly bewildered. The Yeas and Nays were taken Mr Albright (Whig) led the dance by voting Yea the next on the list did the same, and all, both Whigs aiu) Democrats, recorded their votes in faxor of the Resolution, until the name of Mr. Francis was called, and be voted a sonorous 'Aye." A nnile played over the faces of both sides. 'There was some joke in it It was sure to burst out somehow and somewhere, but no oue knew where or when at reast. we so judged, from the queer and' doubting looks or Senators. The Senate voted unanimously for the Resolution. When the vote was announced, Mr. F. moved a sospeueion of the Rules of die SeqP nd tl,at il Pul "l" iu i l:st J..

Wool about four miles from the city and welcomed him as a friend. Gen. Wool's army, numbering 2600 men, was iu excellent health and spirits. 11c country through whicll it passed is described a abounding iu wheat, corn, beef, niut- lo" an every necessary means of euheistance, whicll conld hmd t We price.. General Wool marched from the Presidio del Rio Grande lo Monclova, a distance of 204 miles, in eleven n,drching days. He took along with him forty days provisions for his columns, and another Iruiit with an equal amount, was a few days in his rear. These were the lust supplies he expected o receive from Port Lavacca, as he designed opening com munications with Gen. Taylor for receiving future supplies." News was received at Monclova on the 2d inst., that Col. Doniphan, of the Missouri volunteers. wno naa neen detached hy len. Kearny, nt Sanla Fe, for that duty, had taken the city of Chihuahua, with 700 men. He entered the place without impediment the town having surrendered without a gun being .fired. Col. Riley, of the 3d Infantry, has been ordered to march with the whole of his regiment upon Victoria de Tamaulipas. He had left upon lhat service when our informant left Camargo. U poo the arrival of despatches from the Uuited States Government ordering au end to be put to the armistice. Gen. Taylor despatched Maj. Gra ham to Sakillo to confer with the Mexican camp and inform them that each party whs at liberty to act as it might think fit Not an officer nor a sol dier was to be seeu at Saltillo. Maj. Graham had an interview with the Governor and iufonned him that the armistice was at an end, and requested him to despatch the intelligence to the Mexican commander-in-chief mt San Luis Potosi. The Governor desired Major Graham to proceed to San Louis and deliver his message; but that officer's in structions being peremptory, he returned to Mon terey. When Major Graham left Monterey on the 16th inst.. Gen. Worth was nnder orders to move against Saltillo. He was to have left the uext day. Gen. Taylor intended to accompany him with the Sid Regiment- Dragoons, but would return again to Monterey, leaving General Worth there. No resistance was anticipated from the enemy. Our letters continue to speuk of Santa Anna's preparations at San Luis Potosi. It waa reported that he had collected 30,000 men; but this was considered by many an exaggeration. Gen. Taylor has been compelled to throw into prison a priest detected in preaching desertion to the American troops. A letter from Cnmargo says A rumor (which I do not vouch for, but which hnot only possible but probable) says that another revolution has broken out in Mexico. The Santa Anna party declared him Dictator -anti Santa, Anna (headed by Valeucia) demurred, turned their arms against the Dictator, and drove him and his party from San Luis Potosi; and that the Dic tator was falling back ia the .direction of the city of Mexico. Things have changed siuce we came here, or else at that time were but little understood. The People are not ready to fly into the arms of our Government at the fire of the first gun, but the re Tu military aspirants are prevented by their people from makhyj a peace with the Uuited Stales. I do uot belidLfc there is a single polsa tion of their hearts, unless from interest or fear, which m with us; nor caa any man wltose views or opinions are favorable lo us rise to power or re tain it long without a revolution. The Picayune says that the Government has purchased the light draught Steamer Fashion for $45,000, and the Steamship ALabajua for $75,000. DEPAltTURE OF GkN. SCOTT FOB NkW Orleans. The N. Y.

Pkospkct of Peack. The New York Tribune of Wednesday ay: "We Fiav good authority for stating that Gen. Scott expressed the opinion, before leaviug here to take charge of the operations in Mexico, that if the supplies and other means ordered by the Gov ernment shonld rca:ri their points of destination in due time, the country ought to expect a peace with Mexico by llie middle or last of July cer tainly within the coming year."

Scott has sailed from New York fir New Orleans. The Washington Union is silent upon his being despatched to Mexico, but it tells us, that the new volunteers called into the service are organizing with great rapidity. The Pennsylvania regiment is said to be ready; North Carolina will have hers iu the field to inarch on the 1st of January; Virgiuia has near ly filled up hers; New York has hem organized, and the command has been given to Col. W. B. Buruelt, a graduate of West Point; S. Carolina has hers ulso organized, under Ihe command of Col.

But it can hardly be hoped lhat these new troops will reach Mexico before the 1st of February, and perhaps not be iu a situation to commence hostile opera tions before that mouth is far advanced. There is, no doubt, from all these preparat;ons, son re decisive attenpt to be made ou Mexico; but whereor how, is very projierly kept, so far, con cealed.

'Hie three intere.-U above alluded to are, the Catawba and Yadkin lands for agriculture, the Uwharie country for gold aud other minerals, and the sand hills for naval stores.
