TUJE ROUTE TO MEXICO. i
After many weeks and even months of t
speeplationas taLthe probable duration of 1
the war, the pnhlic~nindis setting downI
a long.and wearisome struggle. Great ?
hopes of peace wete built op at the North t
upon the anticipated action of Santa An
na, should he regain power in Mexico. I
Now the confident belief here is that our t
overtures for peace has been rejected' by I
him, or. what is equivaler.t. have been re- t
ferred to a Congress to assemble in Mexi
co next December. So there is no hope
in that quarter of a cessation of hostilities.
By the arrivals ot Friday reports reach
ed the city both from the camp of General
Taylor and of General Wool that the fu
ture movements would depend upon new
orders from the War Department ; that
they would lie inactive while an attempt
should be made by negotiation to bring
hostilities to a close; We place no faith
whatever in this report, and now that the
Mexican Govornment exhibits no disincli
nation to the war, we see nothing in pros
pect for us but a vigorous prosecution of
hostilities by every means in our power.
Under these circumstances, it is natural I
enough that the publi: should begin to 1
question the policy of the mode of warfare I
which we have hitherto pursued. Thus
far since the*commencement of the war
our Government has adhered rigorously to
the "soothing system." This policy was
eminently humane, and in this aspect
worthy a Christian nation and the civiliz
ation of the ninteteenth century. But what1
efect has it had upon the Mexicans whom
it was designed to conciliate ? All accounts
gree that they have become more and
more embittered, and are patiently and
hopefully waiting for some reverse to oc-.
cur to our troops before fallitng upon them.
Those who were familiar with the Mexi
can character foreaw'and foretold this;
all are now satisfied on that bead.
'The next question ii, bowshall the war
he carried on hencefoih ? Cottnedted 'iith
this sohject, we liavo beeni Interested in
reading an" article 'in the Courrier des
Eatsatnis, in woich the editor speculates
upon what he thinks the most obvious po
licy of Santa Anna. 16e ventures to pre
dict that Santa Anna, seeing: that there is
no 'hope of obtaIning peace-save by the
cession of the Californias and all the coun
try on the eastern bank of the Rio Grande,
will obstinately reject our overtures. Mex
ico, lie reasons, has everything to gain
from delay and nothing to louse by pursu
in - th'e war. -Should Mexico meet with
further riverseu, still the tertms which the
United States would exact would hardly
demancftnore thap ihe surrender of the
Californias arid ttie: country. which. we
have already c:onquered; if, on the other
hand, Santa -ina should gain some suc
cess, less onerous terms would. be imposed
upon him To sum up, thistemporizing
policy Costs'Mexico almost nothing and
leaves her at liberty to iinyrove any favor
iile opportunity for striking a blow ; while
itis -ruidous to the United States on the
scoreof expensessaed disarpoints the beptes
of the people. The. policy ihb the
Courrietnpredicted Santa Anna would pur
.ue,it is sow deemed.certain, that bie has
adopted by rejecting overtures of peace.
.W/tt then is to be done!i all are pek
ig. .eenega1. !Jyir is pressng on upon
Monterey andt halt tlo, and these' ill fall

yet easier. and all these successes cannot
be very remote. Bat as it is plain that
these achievements will bring the ivr no
Dearer to a torminfation, what is the next
step to be taken ?-we hope soon to hear
from Washington an indication of the
course to be pursued.
We would have wished that a difiarent
description of'force had been used'. to in
vade Mexico. In a country so notoriously
deficient in s'ipplies; the invading force
ought to be concentrated as 'much as pos
sible. We moana that it ought to be com
posed of well cisciplined troops. atbicb are
in efficiency, to say the least in proportion
of one.,to two, when. compared with raw
Volunteers;--and it ought to be provided c
with well trained artillerists,"and the best a
rdnance and ordnance officers. Who that
has attentively considered the details of e
he brilliant victories gained by our gallant t
irmy on the banks of the Rio Grande, will c
all to perceive that they are due more to
be superior skill and science and'material ii
if that chosen band, than even to their s
uperior energy and courage. If this de- a
isive superiority in skill, science.discipline p
md material were to be maintained during
ho campaign, and carried through the c
ong and arduous march that lies before t
hem, we should feel as much confidence
is any one in the entire success of the In- I
rauion. But, under the most favorable 4
ircumstances, we should think it the part ri
f wisdom to provide at once the means of a:
einforcing our several livisions with dis- b
iplined troops. Such a measure may be
ome necessary,even,alt hough every blow it
hould prove a victory; and if such rein- k
orcements are to join the army after it.has i
airly entered the Mexican territory, theyt
nust move forward with all the organiza- tI
ion of a regular army; not rush into the o
ield poll mell, as may be done with impu- n
lity within our own borders. At present, d
re are nearer to our own resourses than a
he ?Mexicans are to theirs; but every day's fi
narch into the enemy's country will re
erse this odvan age. i
But it is time to hring this article to a b
lose. We are embarked in a war which ti
re all desire shc-uld be terminated speed: S
ly and as gloriously as it commenced; b
ind to produce these results we must coo- I
inue to collect men and materials in such ti
tositions as may be most advantageous to it
. in ' h el n etply m
ur generals with the means of maintaining e
heir superiority, and follnwing tip their
uccesses promptly and vigorously. We' p
ire engaged in a struggle with a weaker a
adversary and must overcome him; but a
et us take care irn doing so to exhibit con-.
inually and conclusively our superiority n
n science, skill and force. We must con- b
uer a peace with Mexico; and let us put r
ill our strength to do so speedily. We ti
aught not to count upon their dissentions n
is a means of terminating this war. The i
ontending factions will unito their force v
igainst us. We must not calculate upon r
:ompelling submission, by occupying their e
emote settlements and hartassing their o
!ommerce Mexico will be less injured
>y such a proceeding than the comniercial
ttions that traded with her, ourselves
irnong the number; and that government
lerived no advantage from its distant pos- e
essions. It will be hazardous to invade d
uch a country as we have endeavored to
lescribe, in order to penetrate to the cap p
tal and dictate a peace there, without n
saving on foot a thoroughly disciplined;,
vell organized and perfectly appointed I
irmy.

and many will receive the' impressioi that
this elegati establishment.is .only.-for'tbe
accommodation of those-who make per.
chases by' the-hundreds. Such is not thi
case; Mr.-Stwartit is trui, has a stock
ou'hatnd of immense value;.but also ofthe
greatest variety. and he intends to uwe hit
own words, "to do business for a million."
Ho will always have the best of every
thing-and in all styles, so that the rich at

can make their purchases with equal ad
vantage at this "Commercial Palace,'
for such we must call it.
