the buried cabin warm, and, ho had fuel at

AID TQ MEXICO.
The report which some time ago prevailed.
that several of the South American States
M , , ... .
would take part with Mexico ,n the present
war, turns out to he unfounded. Only one
State, Honduras, has declared such a pur-
nose, and that. State will not cairv the decla-

! ANTICS OK THE ORGAN.
The Washington Union, a short time airn,
gave notice that there would be peace will)
Mexico in the course of six at all evonts. ol
twelve months; that the fighting in masses
was nearly, perhaps altogether over.
Other papers took up the matter as the
Union laid jt down, and gaVe their readers
the pleasing intelligence that peace was at
hand.
Whether "Father Ritchie" looked upon
this course of the presses alluded to a.s "steal
ing his thunder," or as hemming too official
i:i their tone, we cannot tell hut he speaks
very contemptuous y of thc '' batch of rumors"
that always precedes the usucmbling of Con
gress, and classea among them the report that
Mr. Tiiist had been instruitcd to rc-open. it
,IU r;ini negotiations for peace with Mexico.

that ilcspatchrH have been sent to order
him to return ! Leaving the puMic. to infer
that there are no hopes of peace.
All this whimsicality and buffoonery the
