Since the United States has not recognized the Mexican government it is against inter national law for It to declare war, but a .“^tate of war now exists. Thursday's dispatches carried the nows that (icneral (’arran/a re sented the action of the United {States in takinjr Vera Crti/., and in all probability th»* two factions of the Mexican Koverninent will come together in an ('IVort to drive the Americans froni that country.

Tlu‘ senate adoptre])arations were b<‘in{* madt' the various state troops were busy in drillinf' and sending in their pledges of sup])ort. In: this matter North Carolina, as' usual» was among the very first to j wire tho president that she had j 2r,d00 well drilled men that could i be ready to start to any place need ed within twenty four hours. Scenes around the national OAi)i- tal were similar to what was expe rienced just ])i’i(?r to the openinir <>f the Spanish-American war.^and a wave of patriotism is sweeping the country froni coast to coast. Tho entire south is experiencing this feeling, and in the evlmt that war comes it is certain that southern men will be the first to get there and the last to leave, as is their custom. When it comes to a mat ter v.here the national honor is at stake there is no Ma.son and Dixon line. On Tuesday afternoon the Uhited States landed a force of marines at Vera Uruz for the j)urpose of taking tlie customs hous(‘, ]>ost office and cable olVtci^f As they were marcliing through the stri‘cts the Mexicans fired upon them and a battle lasting .several hours was fought which n'salted in live Am(*ricans being kilh'd with twenty-one wounded.
