The U. 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

whose cries of "Death to the whites

CITT or ME.2tco, May 25,... 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.

guilty of one of the grossest outrages ev

could only have been wiped out. by blood,
in a manner sanctioned by 'the laws of

THE SUMTER BANNER:

iebuncbanJunein, l858.
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.
President Polk, to all appearance, will

The Mexicans seem still ignorantofthe
power of the United States, as is in some

is to h~e hoped they will for a long time re

- 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. A mong other things, he is in favor
of allowing the territories, while such, to
determine for themselves wvhetl
