John Meek delivered ahappy speeclt. and ended a toast with :a punia;-it. The iultitude was rent with shoitsiat it. Mr. A. P. Calhoun also de livered a very agreeable speech, whica was received With boisterous applause. The. oficers each in order gave a toast, snd such a roaring and waiving of hats as dbllowed, we imagine has not been since Caesar put on the purple. Col. Butler, 'HisHonor the Mayor, and several other gentlemen were also called out, and gave -pithy, warm and brief responses. Col. James S. Deas presided on the occasion." Rumors of Peace.-Rumors have been -rife at Washington that Mexico had ac cepted our proposals for peace, and had -agreed to receive an American Minister to conclude a treaty. The Baltimore Sun .publishes a letter from its correspondent at Saltillo, under date of the 21st December, which states that a report had arrived there direct from San -Louis-de Potosi, to the effect that the Mexican Congress had - agreed to accept a Miuister from the Uui ted States to treat for peace.. He also states that pei. -Worth had received on the 20th December a Fetter of a-very pa scific character from Santa Anna. The Correspondent also says that an individu a; was in Saltillo, who stated that he had seen the bill passed by the Mexican Con gress authorizing the appointment of a Commissioner to treat for peace, and that he saw it distributed in the form of a handbill and posted upin the City of Mex ico and at Sin Luis de'Potosi. In reply to all this, tie Union says that t has not b'oen advised of any such report having been oflicialfy received at Wash ington, and thinks that if it had ct tno from San Luis de Potosi, it would most proba bly have reached Gen. Taylor at Victoria. But dispatche have been received from the latter as late as January 7tn. from Victoria, in which he is entirely silent up. on the subject of any such report, but on the contrary, states that ile last accounts from Mexico were to the 19th December at w-hich time the Congress had taken no action in regar- to the war. - Still more to mistify the matter, we notice that the bill appropriating three millions of dollars, to be used by the President, in negotiating a peace, was en up in the Senate on Tuesday. In -'-tpening the debate, Mr. Sevier, whd-rom ' his position as Chairman of the Commit tee of Foreign Relations, we suppose is enabled "to speak by the card," stated that the President was satisfied by infor mation he had-received fron Mexico, that a peace coul'd be negotiated, and that he was ready to enter into such a negotiation, based on the cessation of New Mexico and California to the United .Statei. In this unceitainty, we have nothing to do, but to 'watcb this shadow ofcomiug events. Chas. Evening Neus. -Died, in Greene county, Alabana, on the 19th uit., John W.

Thad Misunderstanding at Rio.-A let ti received by the New York Journal of Commerce from Rio Janeiro, dated 25th Nov., confiris the re.ports of the ditficul ties between the Braiiarn government and our minister. The writer accounts in the .following manner for the pre'judice againist Mr. Wise: -The Brazilian government dislike Mr. Wise because he has been very -iniru mental-in breaking up the slave trade refusing to allow A merican merchant men so'ld .here notoriously for slaving, to sail under a sealed letter with the American flag. You know the laws about licensing vessels, .and understand what I mtean. Mr. Wise -has, in doing .this incurred the displeasure of the Brazilians, and hence their disposition to make difficulty and have his recall. Mr. WVise says the I . S schooner Enterprise, that was condemned at the Navy Yard (Brooklyn) 1ivo years ago, has made three successful voyages to Africa after slaves, and is now on the fotsrth. She sold for .$1,500, and in 3 months cleared hereowners, in his know I edge, $9,500." There seems to be some secrecy in the expedition now preparing at New Oi leans for Mexico. The Bulletin seys: "The utmo:,t activity prevails in the Quartermaster's and other department s in this city,; expediting troops, provisions. stores. etc., to the coast of Mrexico-a fleet of transports and store ships are now pre paring, and are to be ready by the 26th inst.-the ships are gederally of large size and among the Jinest in port-they are each to take on boardi.four month's water and provisions for 400 men-they are chartered liy the Government for 3 months, and their destination is kept perfectly se cret, nor will their-orders be opened until after they get to sea. Iat"1t would appear to be a special expe dition, that will assemble at some common rendezvous, and thr~whole force employed will be about 10,-000 toen. "We do not pretend to have Uny correct idea where the ulotme is -to burst, but we hope on the city and'4astle of vera Cruz, and as Gen. Scott has returned to the coast after visiting Monterey and seeing Gen. Taylor, we presume the expedition. whatever may be the object, will be under his immediate command." Dejection of Voluntee~e.-T wo of the companies of the. North Carolina Regi ment of Volunteers have determined not t* o enter the servtce. One pf them, the Rowan company, have disbanded and gone home; the. other, the Mecklenburg :company, have resolve~i to .ofl'er ?heir - services in the President as Dragoons in -. the regular army. *2 The'-cause of this de - fection issaid to be the action of the Leg -islature in voting the money to the volun f eers. and dissatisfaction with the field officer.-Lve.

Jayne-Dear Sir-The astonish ing and miraculous beneficial effects your val tuable EXPECTORANT had on my neig';hor, the Rev. Mr. Rushing, made sp favorable.im pression on my mind, that after consulting with several friends, and learning that you were a regular Practitioner of Medicine. I called upon you, and purchased half a dozen bottles, and told you that if I lived to take them, you should have a good report from me. I am alive and well this day ! Thanks to ;a merciful God, and your Expecturant'; and now I come forward cheerfully to fulfil my promise. For twenty long years had I oeen a constant sufferer from the effects of a hard, dry cough, pain in the breast, and difficulty of breathing ; the last five of which, chilly and fevedra, every spring and fall, added to my misery. I was worn away to a mere skeleton; with thegreat est difficulty only could I get up and down stairs; my appetite was gone, and my strength had so far failed mne, that my friends were per suaded I could not survive many weeks, unless I obtaired relief. Indeed,sir, ny situation was so perfectly miserable to myself, and so ais tressiug to my family, that I felt willing to die, whenever it should please the Master to take me home. But .I herd:ofyotr medicine, and relief came. Yes' it proved the "Balm of Gilead" to any poor afflicted body. Before I had taken osE BoTTLE, I experiennod a miti gation of all any symptoms, and to my great Joy I found in the continued use of it the hap piest reief. In short air, IT HAS MADE A PERFECT CURE OF M E-and I can truly say, I have no desire to be better. With everlasting gratitude, l am, dear sir, your obliged friend. MARV GILL.
