S. steamer Hetzel arrived at New .Orleans late on Saturday night from Vera Cruz,,bringing the ratifica. tion of the atloption of the Treaty in the Senate by-a vote of 33 yeas to 4 nays-. being almost unanimous. This vote was taken at three o'clock p mi., on the 25th of May. Major Grahani was hourly expected at Vera Cruz with'the ratified treaty when the steamer Hetzel left, and one of the naval steamers of the squadron was 'or dered to be hold in read iness to convey him to Now Orleans or Mobile on his ar rival at Vera Cruz. The English courier, it wassaid, start ed direct from Queretaro for Vera Cruz immediately after the ratification. Gen. Kearny [says the Free Ameri can of the 28th ult.] Is ordered to the command in the city of Mexico, in plnce of Gen. Smith, who is to superintend the embarkation of the troops. Gen. Patter son, it was said, would come down to Ve ra Cruz with Gen. Smith. Great uneasiness was felt In the city of ?dexico with regard to the menacing atti tude lately assumed by the Indians, whose cries of "Death to the whites long live the ndiana!" -were heard at a recetntbull flgt In the Plaxar Atraip of wagons, escorted by Lleut.

The offi. care and others who had. been sentenced to be hanged on to-day have been respi ted by Gen. Butler, by a special order of the following substance: The sentence of death, which has been .passed upon persons by Courts of the American Army, whether Americans or MI~xsus, is hereby suspended until fur. thaiorders. -I am not aware what had idpiueneed 'tji e mmanding officer in iuspending the sentenoe ofdeath upon the ofiicers and ethere for the murder and burglary at No. 6.

RlAiCISL-ADAlS, EDiFiR, [REPEATED NT REQUEsT.) MANCH STElt AND .WILMINGTON '' A LROAD CONVENTION. We are particularly requested to call the attention of the stockholders in the Wilming ton and Manchestertail Road to the annual meeting, or Coriention ather, of the stock holders, which is to be held at Darlington Court House, on Thursday. the 22nd of June, being the third day aftor tho third Monday In this month, the tine appointed for the annual meeting. It is especially dsired and desirable that as many of the stockholders as possible should be present, and that these not able to be present should appoint and send ,proxies, that the representation should be as full as po*ible, as it' is understood that important biness will be brought before the meeting. SUMTER STOCKHOLDERS. We are requested to state that there will be a meeting of the Sumter stockhol ders in the Wilmington and Mancheter rail road, .at the Court House, on Monday next, the 19th inst., to appoint delegates or proxies to atteind the annunl convention of all the stockholers to be hld at Dcif. lington Court House, on Thursday, the 22nd inst. It is also understood that other business of importance will be brobght b'efore the meeting on the 19th. A full attenda.:ge of the Sumter stockholders is requested. SUMTER EQUITY COURT. ~ The Court of'Equity for this District, held by'Chancellor DI1NKIN, closed its session on the 10th inst. All the business before the court, we believe, was attend. ed to; and the Chancellor, on the same day, proceeded to Camden, to open- court there on the 12th inst. COTTON. Since our last! issue, the price of cot ton has decreased In the Charleston mar ket, very sblightly however, being now from 4 1.2 to 6 1-8 cents per pound. TheEuropean market seems to be full of this article, and this to be the cause of~ the present weakness of prices. PEACE.WITH MEXICO. At length the welcome 'news has ar rived that the Mexican Senate rgified the treaty on the 25th of May by a majority of 33 to 4, making the vote almost iia~ni mious.

No other resource, however, remained to the fallen republic; and it is sincerely to be', hoped that the terrible lessdOVshe'has latelVy ceived will prove to.her a .essn.iis dom as it has of experience.- Little faith is to be placed in the stability of,the Mexi. can people; yet there is reason to be1'i the present lawful government will hb a. tained, and this too by a support the most strange and unexpected.

Hence their interest makes active in the servioe of' their present emnployers, and their nume rical strength.is aglient for efrective ac tion against Mexicans. The Mexicans seem still ignorantofthe power of the United States, as is in some degree shown by the late frequent at tempts at insurrection during the occupa tion of the country consequent on the con quest both of their arms and soil. Yet it is to h~e hoped they will for a long time re tamn such afear of our arms as-. may in duce them to refrain from offensive hos tilities and to conduct themselves'with na. tional propriety towards their more ponvt erful sister repiublie. Their existence demands the observance of the treaty; and the late humiliating conquest wvill doubts less produce- good results;' though-the pre. sent feeling must be most galling tb Miexi can pride. - - THE CA NDIDATES. Gen, Cass and Gen. Taylor are now before the people as the -nominees of the democratic and whig conventions. The tlemocrats, It seems to us, have made an unfortunate choice, as it is known to the south that Gen. Cass Is unsound and un. certain on some ques~jons both theoretical ly and practically of vitalanportance to the south.
