She brings souk thirty five passengers, among whom is the Hon j&wm James i rati stum, our minister to .Mexico, one ^ also brings if 107,090 in specie on freight. The arrival of our .Minister, Gen. Gadsden would naturally awaken expectations of sonu event of importance having occurred to induct: him so unexpectedly to quit liis po<t and re turn to the United States. We are glad to Ik 'Si able to announce that that event is the conclusion of a treaty with Mexico fur the purchase of the Messiiia \ alley. \\ u have not such full particulars tm this important subject, in the papers before us, as we should like to be able to lay before our readers this morning. - A paragraph in tiie \ era Cruz Eeo del Com mcrcio, of the 8th instant, announcing the ar rival of Gun. Gadsden in that city on tiie pre' | vious day, simply states that, according to assurances which it had received, lie was on his wayto Washington to present to the'Governynent of the United States lite treaty which he had effected with Mexico on ilie subject of the difficulties in reference to Messiiia. .N'eitiici of the two Spanish papers of the city of Mexico, which we have received?the Siglo IX. and the Omnibus?lias any notice either of the conclusion of the treaty or of the departure ol Gen. Gadsden from thexcanital. The affair, therefore, would appear to have been discreetly managed, and the departure of (Jen. Ga^ls den to have been made very quietly, if not suddenly. The vigilant and reliable Trail j! ^--> d'Union, in ifs issue of the 4th inst. has, howT* mmi* ?i nntioo (?f f Ha nvAotttinii nf' rl?,? It says: " Tlie diplomatic conferences between the Mexican and Aineiieau Plenipotentiaries have resulted in u trtaty which is iio lunger ?i secret to any one.. In selling the disputed ter. ritory of Messilla the Mexican Government has sold an embarrassment. In freeing himself from the 11 th article of the treaty o] Guadalonpe, Mr. Gadsden has got riu of an onerous duty; but in abolishing this dangerous article Senor Buii'lla has closed the door against American intervention ; for who can deny that the duty of defending a frontier involves the right of coming to it and traversing it. W\ do not know exactly what is the figure of tht sum that the Unitad States undertake to pa> Mexico: it is made to vary from 618,000,001 to 620,000.000. This intelligence has been received with joy by public oj im'on. It is lot the treasury a resource, which managed witl: wisdom and intelligence, will hasten the realiza Jg'. , tion of those ameliorations which the Cabinet contemplates. According to the Mexican accounts, which, as to results, at letist appear to be <juite reliable, the expedition of Walker has failed nearly, if not quite as badly as might have been ex pected, and quite as badly as the worst report; |hhitherto received here had represented. Ac WaT cording to the Trait d'Union the facts may he Kr thus resumed. The chief of the " pirates'1 |r finding his position at La l'az compromised, f; and fearing an attack from the in hah! tants on Jlteir recovering from their panic, set sail on HfiRWF the Gth of December, and proceeded to anchor RWEV in the cove of Todos los S.uitos, not far from KBHBw Cape Saint Lucas. This is a desert bay, like many others with which this coast is indented. j^W It was here that he planted his banner of two WBf red stars, and proclaimed his presidentship ami bis independent republic before the open sea, the coast and tho desert horizon, which had nothing to give by way of response. Counsel was taken, and it was decided to surprise Santo Toinas, a small market town, situate about forty-seven miles from the bay. Santo Tomas is an old Jesuit mission station, with a cliurch a convent, and a few houses. In the w hole district scarcely 200 armed men cuu.d be eulTbc expedition of the adventurers proceeded bv land across a dry and desert country. L completely covered with rocks and hills They had carried off from a farm situated near the hay, some horses and other beasts of burden, and were advancing without any mistrust, when the}' found themselves suddenly attacked by Captain Casttillo N*grette, the captain commandant of Santo Tomas, who had received intelligence of their movements. The disconcerted expedition retreated for the purpose of rallying at their headquarters, sustaining a loss of four men. On arriving there, they found the bay empty. The captain of the Caroline seduced by the ^offers and remonstranees ol the two Governors (Rebelledo and Espiuosa,) prisoners on board, had set sail. A despatch from Esphiosa himself announces these facts, and adds that himself and companion lie-belledo, had bC,en landed l?v the Captain of the Caroline at Capo St. Lucas. The Trait d'Lt. iiion concludes the Ja-t notice of this matter, with these remarks: 'AVhat has been tlie lot of these forty men abandoned on a hostile shore, fn the midst vof an exasperated people: .. 1 It is easy to see. It is no longer a warfare; ii is a chase." The Caroline is said to have been captured The Mexican Government lias j urehase< two steamers, destined to watch and protect the coasts of the Pacific. "They will hav< plenty tt? do," says the Trait d'Cnion. Des patches had been received at the capital of tin organization and presence of a largo force hot! L in Souora and Lower California, for t lie def<*nc< ^ A of the territory, with abundance of resources. The Trait d'Lnion quotes the l.'niversnl a confirming the report that all the diflicullie! connected with the Tehuantepec question ha been removed, and that the works were abou to he commenced without delay. The under standing, it is added, at preset, rested on tin guarantee of an Engiish house of good stand ing. In its ifsue of the 1th instant; however the Trait d'Fuion seems scarcely satisfied witl the state of the affair. "Jteflecting people,'' i says, "who interest themselves in the positiv< interests of the country, Jiave been struck bj the silence of Mr. Pierce on the subject of tin Tehuantepec afliiir. Is this from doubt, frou reserve, or on account of disapprobation ? \V< are mucli embarrassed for a reply to this three fold alternative. For our part, it is front re serve. We are assured that this importan 1 ' A *l?" I ?? r* omi .. question uas oeeu m*?ueu uumi? mt kho ?,<?.. ferences?at least it lias been touched on. Ev erybody hopes that the Senate of l!ie Lnltet ^ States will definitely settle it when it shall hi called 011 to ratify the treaty concluded clurin< the past few days." "This question of Tchuantepec," it contiu yes, "so eftci. I heu up, abandoned and n JfUjL.r" ? ! sumcd, so agitated, so distraught by uufore- j seen incidents, seems to lie bound, at length, . i to be realized and embodied in wood and iron. ; r ' Bo: however much it may lia^e been agitated, ; it is far from being exhan ted. It has a boari ing which the future alone can devtlope. The | ; discussion has hitherto embraced only thelsth: nuts, and lias not contemplated the rest; but it is time to think of it, and to say some words r on it Hero, l eriamiy, ttie muJerlaKmg id a , ? groat one, and. no matter who curries it . it will be oae of lite greatest works of the eon : i ; tury. But it' we are to be contented with lev- | eiing or piercing a route of communication lie- j ( tween the two oceans, only slight benefit will ! have been conferred on the Mexican Bepublic. j ? Mr. Sloo is about to do for Mexico what that I . physician of Moliers would do, who put the > heart on the light side. The heart of the Ke. public will no' go t?> the light side, but to the , south. .As for the interior towns, and tlie'in| r terests already established, tliev will find them. selves decentralized, ami will lose all that the, > southern provinces may gain. Before ten ! years the revolution will be, accomplished. To , neutralize so rude a change tlieie is only one i . thing to be done. Henceforth we must think . of conneuting the I>thmus with all the large . cities, and with all the centres of the interior, j j There must be railroads everywhere?from . .Mexico to Guanajuato, to Vera Cruz, Arc. Arc. i Without this precaution, God knows what di<- i i 'organization, what convulsions,"what destrue- ' i tiou landed property will undergo in twenty . ! years hence." 1 | Gen. Lnmbardini, Commandaiite of the First ! i : Military Division, and one of the chief'actors in f! the late revolution, whose illness we noticed in ' , our last intelligence from. Mexico, died on the ' . ;22dnlt. H is funeral was celebrated on the 1 . ' 24th, with all the military honors established i ; by the old Spahish statutes. His inanimate) t 1 body, decked with all his insignia, was borne ! . j along uncovered. He was very popular and , . much lamented. One of bis aides-de-camp : i having exclaimed in grief for his death, that ; the physician had killed him, the latter narrow- ) i ly escaped injury, and was insulted and men- ! . need bv some who understood the exclamation ! i to be literally intended. So says the Trait I . d'Union which pays a warm tribute to the ex i f cellencies of the. deceased, i The report of the amnesty, received by wa.vj ; ofTampieo, and published in our editions of: : yesterday, is fully corroborated. Several have; t already returned to their homes under it. The ' : Trait d'Union and others earnestly appeal for 1 > a general amnesty, extending to those who > have left the country, and it seems not impro ! ' bahle that Santa Anna will ''rant it. . # o I i 'Ihc inhaliitants of lampico having implored . the Supreme Government to allow the inlro ductiou of-1000 or 5000 barrels of foreign flour, i notwithstanding its prohibition by the tariff, in . consequence of their want of food, it is believed , the permission will be accorded. I Treaty with Mexico. The unexpected, bat most welcome arrival , here of Col. Gadsden, our Minister to ."Mexico, confirms the confident expectations'we some; time since indulged, as to the successful nego tint ion of a treaty with our u -ighboring repulr- I i lie, and li e settlement of all the vexed qnes ! ' timis then pending between it and us. We say tlie arrival of Col. Gadsden con j i firms the expectations we then indulged, be- j J cause we are sure be would not have let' the j post he has with so miicii dignity and abiPlv j filled, unless his mission had been crowned with [ j coni'dete success, so far as it lay within the 1 eon. .nss of diplomacy to effect it. i \\ i:h decorous circumspection, Col. G. per- I jmitted nothing to escape from him indicative i of the results obtained, during his journey to, ' nor while in this ci'y, babbling by the way to t , the inquisitive being out of his line, but we 1 are authorized to infer from our advice*, here- i tolbre published by us, and received from re| liable sources, that all the ditlienllics origintI ting in the eleventh ailicle of the treaty of Guadaloupe and its interpretation by the two Goverumeiits respectively, are definitely ar; arranged; that the Mesilla Valley controversy ! ! is closed by the cession by .Mexico of so much ! of the territory as will enable the United States j to preserve the faith of treaties, without the necessity of trespassing upon .Mexican soil, ' and to prosecute the railroad enterprise to the f | Pacific ; and on our part, by the pay meat to I Mexico of a sum of money in full of all claims J for depredations committed upon her citizens ! by Indians said l?? iniiaiiit uic territory uiuuii tlic jniisdictiuii of llie I nih il ."States, and I'm the tenitorv conveyed to us. In regard to Lower California, we are in, cliiied to thin!; nothing definite has yet been done in the way of its transfer to our dominion; hut it is not. improbable that Col. (iadsdcii i may have converted an informal proposition i ; for llie purchase of that region into a direct , and langih'e one, and that Santa Anna may ! have couili mnally entertained it in consequence ; 1 of recent proceedings in that quaiter, and the ; absolute uselessnoss to Mexico of that cxteu, sivc hut remote and uuproductivu region. The ! t ' Tchnaiitcpoc affair is settled, it is said, to the entire satisfaction of a'l the foreign and domes. j tic cormorants who were interested,and doubt- j I I less better than if they had been permitted to ' humbug, to the top of their bent, our own easy i . ! and, as they thought, most gullible population. 1 I The advantage to New-Orleans fiom>the t negotiation of this treaty we regard as snperi- : ; or to all she has ever heretofore obtained through federal action, and cannot fail, if judi- i : cioii'-ly talien in hand, to secure for us thai i commanding position to which nature lias so i generously aligned ns. We say geueroiish, j ' for heretofore \\e have actually done next to I ^ nothing for the advancement ol'ourselves upon 1 s the high mail to commercial supremacy so in- > ? vilingly inai l;ed out for our acceptance ami ac- i t eoniiiioilatioii. Let us not then he unmindful ' . of, or ungrateful for the nliVcliouatc solicitude 3 evinced in this case by ti?e federal government . for our interests, lirst in its.-.election of a Soulh} j ern statesman of pure metal to watch over j and protect them ; and next for its generous t I liberality in dealing with our weal; and dis3 tracted neighbor, whose indirect'prosperity, j not less than our direct, is wrapt up in tin* i ' glorious results this settlement of all liillicu!i j tics between the two nations cannot fail to J u pro luce. Santa Anna has acted with enlightnned fore - sight in these transactions, and by his moilet r-iiion and ffoud sense in meetimr tlie overtures of tin's government inn conciliatory and mag ; naninious spiiit, lias iiluniecl ihe feelings of 1 hostility which recollection of Texan wars ami j u , our own expensive hut glorious contest were I calculated to nccum'mate and keep alive. We [ hope the good feeling and cordiality Col.

T\v(? naiions arc . already ii: afrits. in the Hold, two more are just entering the arena, and so far as human judgment can foresee, the whole European community of nations will bo engaged upon one side or the other before many months shall have n passed away. The opinion has been expressed, g that in the controversies in arms in which tions in modern times engage, there must lie a 0 diversity of general national interest; tlie natures of the belligerent people must be adverse; the general course of national policy pursued * ' by the authorities of each must he antagonistic ; and it often happens that the different steps of aggression and dispute are taken for imine- '* diale partial efleet, both at home and abroad, " without regard to tiic ultimate effect upon the 11 peace of the countries. This has bee n tho- c roughly exemplified in the progress of the Res- 0 sian quarrel. Unmindful of its effect upon the I' peace uf his realm or of Europe, in the pur- *' suit of the ambitious policy which was adopted in the time of Peter the (treat, and persisted !: in by every Russian Autocrat up to the present '! day, Nicholas undertook to tritle with the great . question of the balances of European power, 11 and the world is almost in a blaze of war. tl Speculation runs liof.upou the end of the strife. 1 The different elements entering into the con- 1 stitution of European society, which have been *l to a greater or less degree antagonistic since the dark ages, all have their parts to play, and 1 their objects to pursue. The divine right of Kings, the position and power of the |>iivi-:?J Icged classes, the rights and wishes of the people, and in various portions the element of re- v Iigmus opinion, ail arc arrayed, and in tiie lime of general action may be expected to manifest a their powers. England lights for conservatism and the safety of her possessions. France, to '1 increase her own, arid to diminish the power of ' Russia. Tuskey struggles for her rights and existence. Russia continues the war because 11 she lias become engrged in it, and having com- : ? ineneed it wrong, strives l>v force of arms to j make it right. Austria, Prussia and the other powers mu.?t fight, for the reason that tiiey will 1?. be forced to. iielligercuts are not apt to be very mindful of the lights of neutrals, and cs- ? pccially are they not, when their po.-ition places them in juxlapos'tion on land. j it is true in all tin's, the dements to which 1 11 we have alluded do not appear. The nations 'l seem to be acting individually, and so they may 0 act for some time to come, but the elements > will be manifested, and I heir strength will be t! demonstrated, as evciils happen which induce ^ one or the other powers engaged to call them lortii, either to increase their own strength or : to diminish that of their opponents. From tiie general melee, when the redundancy of Euro- a pcan population is subdued, and in each state ii "the giddy minds havu had their liii of foreign 3 quanels," tiie skid d historian can clearly trace p the iiifiueiicc which each has exercised, though Ii that influence may now be shrouded in dark-1 a Hess. From the st.ite of Europe turn we now a to this new world. From the theatre of histo- h i v, wlieie has been enacted since the world he- w gaii, the greatest deeds uf warriors and states- w men, we can look to that section of this earth whose history f >r the most part is in the future. ]j Ir: all America, there is but one power which ,, In'Ids the position of a great nation. From its ( earliest existence, it has had to a greater or j, less extent, a republican teiideney. Founded j, in ilillcsvnt localities by people of die same [. race, organized upon a free basis, it has pro- n gre-se i in its ( areer, permitting no restrictions p from arbitrary power, until as a whole, it eov- p crs die half of the North American continent, c and in population, in extent, i:i resources, in p, arts and in arms, it stands eminent amongst t, i.iO nations ol tin.* earth. 1 hat which is the great, object of tlits- European statesman ? the j, preservation of the balance of power, upon tb:s tl continent, is naught. There is no balance (| amongst Amciiean nations, as sucli, ami it |, would he in vain for any combination to en t| (ieavor to cslublidi one. In America there is s hnl one nation, ami that nation, hy peaceful j, aggrandizement, the increase in population , reared upon its soil, ami ileiived from the hu ; l( man store house of the old wo.'M, its warlike ,-] victories, and the extension of its commercial intercourse, is fa.-t progressing to a grandeur, heloro which tiie most co!os<al empires hitherto Wiowii upon tin* face of the caith, in every p thing perchance, except the extent of territory, () will have been but approximations. The priti- \ ciple which has governed this onward progress! |( has been the freedom of its citizens. The i mas>es of the Caucasian races here have en-! ? joyed the rights ol liberty, and free to en if a ye r . * ' . . 11 in any enterprise; have exerted their energies || and their talents for the progress of the whole,, 1( anil nave extended tnc institutions ol tlieirj Q] laud unlil I hoy overshadow the Northern con-| n tiui'iit of the Now World. 'J"lie strength ofi thu whole being dependent upon tin: 1 alancc hot with I ho parts, ami that balance being reg- ^ iibitcd not by the negotiations of iliplomals, j or I ho deeds of armies, but by the constitution ^ of (he land, the power of the Union is that < f ' nations combined. An aerpiisiiion of ten it o- ^ ry lialauces itself in the coiifederation, anil adds ^ to the picpondcranee of the power of the j , whole against which it would he in vain for t iie world to eoiitend. America ami Ktirope, at tliis moment pre- ^ sent two v> ry different pictures. In the latter | we see one nation in the pursuance of a polit y j , long since adopted, striving to predominate [ over all others, while other* are comliiiiiiig to : prevent her suivess. They will probably pre- J . vent it; hut being prevented, peace will hardly he secured in permanence?lor the Colossus of the North cannot he weil rest rained' without the aggrandizement of the Western powers. The same combination maybe made o hereafter to restrain tlieir ambition, unless in-1 v deed, in the struggle, democracy becomes tri i S iiinphaiit, and the thrones ami institutions of! e< constitutional and despotic monarchy, all are | c< invited to a general wreck. In America on 1 n tlie other hand, we see one natlvn ex!ending e its limits and banner over the wliniK extent ol i p territory now by peaceliil negotiation, and g again by warlike conquest, again bv tho^.olun- ai tary entrance of a neighboring Slate, and^ith It no termination to its increase in prospect, less indeed inlornal discoid and fraternal strife iSi shall a'ir.r to plunge Am erica into the stab ' t: i ,liich now exists in Europe. According to recent appearances this event seems far disnnt. Yet it maybe, that those differences ,'hich sometime since threatened to convert his Ameriitnn pniifbdemov into a coil lomeratioti of potty States may again arise j disturb the peaceful prosperity of the great lepiililic. If they should, it will he the. part f those who would be truly great to use that aleiit and that prominence with which God as blessed them, to put upon them such a tamp of national anathema, that when any ther violent discussion shall arise, it shall be pott some other subject than tho.-e which have illicito aroused the fears and called loith the nergies of patriot men. -OWashington, Jan.

The Theatre was ' filled with a brilliant and intelligent audience, and after a beautiful and appropriate prayer by the Graud Chaplain, Rev. IV. B. Yates, P. G, Col. Uolekt B. Boylestox, of DeKalb Lodge, No. G, delivered a j chaste, appropriate and beautiful address, portraying the peculiarities and excellencies of the order. We were fortunate enough to get a comfortable seat, and listened with much interest to Mr. Boylestox. Tho City papers have given a faithful and extensive notice of tlie celebration, which embraces the principal points of this excellent and brilliant address, which we suppose will be put in a more enduring form, and preserved among the archives of the order in South Caroli| na. Among the distinguished Odd Fellows present, j was the venerable founder of the order in the United j State, Past Grand Sire Thomas Wildey, to whom an 1 appropriate and well deserved tribute was paid by the , orator?who said, that when the names ofheroes and I orators shall have been forgotten, tho venerable and worth}' name ot Thomas Wildey would be held in grateful remembrance by the stricken widow, and I jirattlod upon the lips of childhood and innocence.

We should certainly i prefer native melody and the concord of sweet sounds produced at home, to those strange sounds which forJ eiffn exquisites make, to the very groat delight of the | knowingor.es. Ole Bull, with SHiorina Adeline Tatj ti, the musical phenomenon, and Maurice Strakosch. ; the great pianist, are to appear on Monday and Tuesday night next, at the Theatre, to the (of course) delight of the musical and operatic connoiseurs. j The subject of deepening the bar ol Charleston, which j has so long occupied the attention of the commercial i interests of our city, is again brought to notice in the j Standard of this morning,- and is the occasion of an j excellent editorial. Wo believe with the Standard, ; that individual or private enterprise will be the surest ; test of the impracticability or practicability of this ! matter. If we expect the Federal Government to do the work, it will be like some of its other promises? hone deferred, which maketh the heart sick I The Standard concludes its article upon this subject | as follows: ' It is not onr purpose to recommend the . abandonment of this undertaking; wc believe us wo | have said, that it is vitally important, but that it shall j not fail, we wish to have applied to it the spur of indij victual interest. Lot a scheme bo devised by which ' same one of our enterprising citizens can stake his fortune upon the success of the undertaking, and our harI bor will be open to the cavie3 of the world, or Jt will be demonstrated to a perfect certainty that the thing j is impossible, and we shall feci at liberty to dismiss it from our thoughts." i * Hand, Williams & Wilcox.. I AVc take much pleasure in calling especial attention to the advertisement of these gentlemen, to be found in our columns to-day. It is well known to he one of the best houses in Charleston, and from our own experience in dealing with them, and a personal acquainj tanec with oneof the firm?Mr. Williams?we have no hesitation in expressing the opinion that they sell goods on as accommodating terms, and at as small profits as any other house in the country. One of the partners?Mr. lland?resides in New York, which gives them considerable advantage and business facilities. Terpsichorean Minstrels. Sn.\ UPLKY, with his Troupe of Terpsichorean Minstrels amused our citizens last week with a series of Concerts at Temperance Hall. We did not attend the Concerts but from the general commendation bestowed upon them, by the large audiences which they drew despite j the unfavorable weather, we have no doubt that the i admirers of their particular kind of amusement were more than remunerated for the small expense incurred in Attending their concerts. Our occupation brought us into frequent intercourse with Mr. tiiiAUPEY, the Manager, and wo lake pleasure i in hearing testimony to our broth:en of the craft, of ' a uniformly gentlemanly bearing ou his part, rarely met witu among tiie members ol ins pruiesston. Wrong Credit. Tlic paragraph published in our paper of week be* lb re last, giving an neeountoftho Masonic Celebration at Newberry should have been credited to the Weekly Xewborrian, instead of the Newberry Senticel.

John Mitchell This noble hearted and true Irish Republican hag commenced t^o publication rfjnftrr in the city of Nevf YOT^unu^rUie title of the Citizen. Having ueen urged to do so, he thus defines his position upon the slaverj* question: " We are not abolitionists?no more abolitionists than .Moses or Socrates. Wo deny 1 that it is a crime, or a wrong, or even a pec* . cadillo to bold slaves, to buy slaves, to sell J slaves, to keep slaves to their work by flogging j or other neediui coercion. 4 By your silence,' I (we are told) 'you will become a participator j j in their wrongs.' But we will not be silent I when occasion calls for speech; and as for I j being a participator in their wrongs, we, for I our part, wish we had a good plantation well : stocked with healthy negroes in Alabama. "Please Notice." ^ | Scarcely a week passes without our receiving some Northern print with the above words written or printed on the margin. Generally, we have thrown them aside, with the other rubbish of the office, but id tljis week we have received two samples, one ofwhich - * we feet inclined to "notice," if we could do so properly. It is a black, coarse article, containing some pictures and some large letters. It purports to be a newspaper, but bears more resemblauce to the wrapper of a leaky ink keg. Price 23 cents a year, and dear at that. About the Small Pox in Camden. There lias been only two cases (.Mr. Ganie| well's children) of this disease in the town, and | one (Mr. Z. Cautey's negro boy) in the ueighi borhood. It is two weeks since they were disj covered to have it, and as there has not been | a single new case, we consider that there is but little danger of it spreading. The public will be fully iuformetf if another case should occur. John Rosses-, Intendstnt. Iv. S. Moffat, "I . VV. C. Moore, ! . C. II. D.-m,/ > U nrd"nsJ. K. Wilherspoon, j L. \V. Dullard.
