MEXICO.

The feeling between the American and Mexican population is worse than ever. The Mcxi-

Cans, with a very few exceptions, do not like ' our Government. Should war break out with Mexico, and they be compelled to take sides, they would assuredly take the side of Old Mexico. The foundation of the netf State House is now being laid in Santa Fe, and the building,when finished, will be the first one built of stone in all New Mexico. The main burldiasf will be 146 by 56 feet, with a rear, whig of 48 by 38 feet, with a basement and two storeys above with octagonal domes, ta serve as skylights to the halls of the Legislature. Congress appropriated 20.000 dollars for the building, and a further sum of 50,000 dollars is asked for. The Apache Indians are inclined to be rather restless, and we shall probably have trouble before spring with them. The Navajos are doing well. They have about 2000 acres of corn planted, and will gather about 60,000 bushels ; about 100 acres of wheat, that will' produce 40 bushels to the acre, and will have about 250 bushels of beans. They own 250,000 sheep, 20,000 horses, and about 150 horned cattle, and any quantity of pumpkins, melons, and such vegetables as they need. The population is from 8,000 to 10,000. The revolution in Yucatan had been suppressed, after a loss of 200 men. The Spanish Minister has suspended his relations with the Mexican Government, and left the capital. The cause is not known. The ravages of the Indians continued in Durango and New Leon. Cholera is still raging in Oajaca. The battle between the Yucatan revolutionists and the Mexican troops continued 8 days. A remnant ©f the revolutionists had fled to the mountains.
