Congress. The Senate took up the bill
for the prosecution of 'the w.an with Mexico,
on. Tuesday, the 12th inst., and,- after a long
and interesting debate, passed it, with some
trifling amendments. On the evening of the
same" day, the House received the bill from the
Senate, and concurred in all its amendments.
The amendments, as mnde by the Senate, are
unimportant. They strike out "the provision
requiring the officers commanding the volun-
teers lo be chosen by the Senate. They also
reduce the pay of the private soldier to eight
dollars per month.
On the same day, the House took up and
passed, with a slijiht amendment, the bill from
the Senate, providing for the organization of
a corps of sappers, miners, and ponioniers.
A pawt of the day was also spent in discus-
sing the West PointAcudemy bill.
The bill for prosecuting the war with Mexi-
co passed the Senate by the following vote : ,

Movements at the EST.Richmo7id.
One of the largest public meetings ever held
in Richmond, says the Richmond Ennuinr of
the loth inst., is assembled at the City Hull,
forthe purpose of raising volunteers for x exas.
Charleston. An immense and enthusiastic
I meeting took place at Charleston on ihe Joth
inst,, and also on the loth, Uol. Gadsden, in
the chair, for ihe raising of volunteers for the
war. A -committee, appointed for the pur-
pose, made a report, recommending, that the
Governor of South Carolina be requested to
take sur.h measures as will anticipate or- in-
sure the immediate compliance with any call
from the General Government upon South'
Carolina. And that if any persons desire
fouhwith and before such call to tender their
services, lhat he promptly furnish all aid, en-
couragement and facilities to them, and pro-
vide and procure for them tho requisite muni-
tions and transportation.
Baltimore. Philadelphia. A very large
meeting was held at Baltimore on the l3Ji
inst., concerning the war. A committee was
appointed to wait on those who were willing
to aid in any way the volunteers about to be
enrolled for'Texas. The Fifth Regiment of
Maryland Volunteers and a number of other
companies had offered iheir services lo the
War Departmen: to take charge of Fort Mc

there, known as the Fiit Regiment, have of-
fered to volunteer. Birflctin.

guished by its military ardor. The -tragic of
the 20th notices threejiew companies on the
point of starting fo'rjhe seal of war ; one un-
der the command .of Major Finlev, another

Iclin. Mexican Loan. The Mexican Govern-
ment, says the jev York Tribune of the 12th
inst., baa tent an agent to London to Kego-
ciate a loan of two millions of dollars. One
of the firm of Manning & McIntosii, of Vera
Ciuz, bankers, passed through New Yoik a
few days since, on his way to England, via
Boston, for that purpose. hile at Washing-
ion, he had an interview with Mr. Pakenham,
uho'vias formerly Biitith Minister at Mexico,
aud, from what we can Jeain, says the 'Tri

c Note. By reference to the Calendar, opposite the County " Monday" will show the day
As mi"ht have been expected, the prompt
aiidVieorous measures of our Congress, for
ilioA chastisement of Mexican insolence, are
hailed with enthusiasm by the people. The
whole nation is- aroused and the war feeling
and before many days it may be expected,
that a lai-o emiration will ne on ttie ouier
side of the Rio Grande en route for the " Halls
of Montezuma." There is a great deal of
talk, already we notice, about the fertility of
the Mexican soil, the beauty of the country,
the amenity of the climate, and the other at-
tractions and riches of that magnificent region.
That the imagination of the people should be
excited on the eve of- such an enterprise, is not
at all surprising. Mexico is indeed ihe garden
spot of the Americas, and presents allure-
meats more tempting tban did the sunny
jilnins aud vineyards of Italy, when the north-
ern Hordes swept down, ana aruieu uk u
sjiow hlorm over the south of Europe. That
a movement, similar in some of its aspects, is
about to take place, on our continent, can now,
no longer be questioned. The folly of the
military u-urper, Parades, in forcing the Unit-
rd States inio hostilities, has sealed the doom
of Mexico. No other alternative is now left
us but lo carry " ihe war into Africa," and to
.extermiifale the power, that has so long re-
O
fused, peaceful!, ', to negotiato. By coming to
terms at a seasonable time, Mexico might have
secured an advantageous-and honorable settle-
mentofall her difficulties with this country.
But as the'oid maxim says, " whom God in
(Vmerican soil, and thereby precipitates upon
