For the period of nearly 40 years this country has been in tho enjoyment of the blessings of peace, and these blessings have never been more widely or more extensively valued. The privileges of the people have been increased their burdens have been diminished; and, with an extending and prosperous commerce, wealth has been diffused throughout the country. We have lately had an exhibition of the pride, pomp, and circumstances of war, but it is impossible to think of war without reflecting at the same time upon the bloodshed it occasions, upon the prosperity it interrupts, and upon the miseries it inflicts. Awlse Parks- The message of the new Mayor of Janesville, J. BODWELL DOE, is a very creditable document in every respect; in style, matter and manner.

He remarks: "I would recommend for your candid consideration, the propriety of providing ourselves at this early day with Nothing tends more to the beautifying and. adorning of with each other in tokens of cordiality. Even the musicians had fraternized, the bands of tbe English performing the air of "Partant pour la Syrie," and the French playing "God save the Quten."

In the suburbs of New Orleans on the 2d inst, A duel was fought between Cbas Roman, son of ex-Governor Roman, and WH of a senator Louisiana of that name.

The following address to his fleet is characteristic, and quite Napoleonic in its terseness and pith: "Laos, war is declared! Ton are to meet a bold and numerous army. Should they offer battle, yon know how to dispose of Should they remain in port, we must try to get at them. Success depends on the quickness and precision of your fire.
