fairs was made clear. His election to the position, during the session of the Thirty-first Congress, was nearly unanimous--thirty — two votes having been given for him, to five for all others. The proposed increase of the army, however, was never made on the lines of the Cass bill. Before Congress could perfect the necessary legislation events had moved toward pacification. The flitting Government had become rooted long enough at Queretaro to propose and consider terms of peace. On July 6th President Polk laid before Congress copies of a treaty of peace between the United States and the Mexican republic, the ratifications of which had been exchanged at that city on the 30th of May previous. On April 14th a bill to provide for the repair and improvement of the dam at the head of Cumberland Island brought up, incidentally, the policy of internal improvements. Calhoun spoke in favor of the bill. Although holding to the doctrine of strict construction, he had not the slighte

of the male population has gone to Maryland for fear of being impressed in the Confederate service. A perfect reign of terror prevails here; business is suspended, and our citizens are compelled to stand on guard without board or pay. Neither friend nor foe is allowed to cross the river at this place or Hancock, but fortunately the river is very low, and we can occasionally steal away and wade across at other places, to get our mails. Two gentlemen from Maryland were arrested here yesterday and taken to Headquarters at Berkeley Springs, upon what charge I have not been able to learn. I presume they will be released to-day.
