splendid and populous region of country. The disaster at Lexington decides the fortunes of Fremont. That truculent traitor and brutal upstart must now share the fate of Scott. The North will demand a victim, and Fremont will be the unlucky beast given to the sacrifice. He is really not responsible for the calamity; but he has managed to offend the Blairs, the greatest liars of the age and continent, and they will "lie" him into disgrace and ruin. He would not support Lincoln for the Presidency, but went off to France. Lincoln remembers and will punish. The fate of Fremont will be even worse than that of Scott. An old and a young traitor, not one breast in all the world will beat one throb of sympathy for their fate. As yet, we have only the enemy's report of the incidents of the engagement. When that of our own friends shall reach us, we shall have additional cause of rejoicing. We can afford to wait for this. The enemy's account gives us "glory enough for one day."

ention to prohibit the exportation of cotton so long as foreign powers admit the validity of the Federal blockade. They hope by this threat to coerce England and France into the recognition of their national independence and sovereignty. Questions of blockade can only be determined by the law and practice of nations. No case caainst Mexico. The London Shipping Gazette, of the 11th, contains the following in relation to the position and disposition of Europe — particularly England and France--towards Mexico: The expectation that a combined Anglo French naval and military expedition is to be immediately organized, to obtain redress for the indignil permanently conciliate all rational claims. Whether the question is to be dealt with by the general combination which seems thus in prospect, or by England and France alone, it is evident that further delay is at an end. It is surmised in some quarters that it is the object of the two powers to have a strong force in the M

o mob rule, and take the conduct of affairs into their own hands. Every school-boy and school-girl, every tyro in history, well knows that the sure way to conquer an invading enemy, is to exhaust it by delays. Thus was Pyrrhus and his army overcome and ruined by the Romans. Thus was Hannibal, the greatest of warriors, after many victories, repulsed from Italy, and thus did Carthage perish. A nation that invades another, if repulsed abroad, is easy to conquer at home. The citizens of France made little or no resistance to the allied armies who invaded her territory. The defence, on the first invasion, was made by the remnant of Napoleon's veteran soldiers. In the last invasion, there was no defence at all. So Carthage, powerful in offensive warfare, became cowed and subdued in spirit by her frequent defeats in Italy, and fell an easy prey to Roman armies. When Crœsus, king of Lydia, about to invade Persia, consulted the Oracle at Delphi as to his chances of success, the
