There is not a word of truth in any of these
tales. Since the route of the Mexieun leaders
near Medelin the dragoons have not
been able to bring them to action. Young
Santa Anna was near Santa Fe'day before
yesterday, but did not remain in the neigh
borhood Jong.
The Government of Jalapa, it is said, has
resvlved not to make any resistance at their i
city whatever. The fate of Vera Cruz is j
before them?they know that the Americans
will enter their beautiful place?and i
do not wish to sec it destroyed. Sensible '
people, those of Jalapa.
Yours, &c. O. W. K.

ble items of importance relative to affairs in
the Federal city : and if the revolution, noticed
in our last, be terminated, we have not
been advised of the fact. From what we
can gather on the subject, and we have recently
conversed with an intelligent person
familiar with the plots and counterplots
of the contending factions, the disturbances
which have recently taken place in the capital
are calculated to lead to results of no
ordinary character. Santa Anna, as usual, j
has been ploying a double game, and lias ;
been detected in it by many observant per-!
sons. He professed to Gomez Farias that
1, r n? -.1 - -1 ? ? i
ms was in iuvui ui nypomecaung uie cnurcn j
property, and induced that officer to public- i
iy advocate the measure.
At the same time he was in correspon-1
dence with the church party, and urging
them to resist the measure by an appeal to
arms; and when it was announced that
the General was approaching the city, each
party was elated with the idea of being assisted
by him. One or the other had to be
deceived, however, and it was the fate of \
Farias a second time to be deceived by the ;
same leader. For the moment, this acquisiton
ofSanta Anna's forces to that of the j
church party struck tenor to the opponents, ;
but they ralied, and at our last accounts j
were still defending themselves with viiror. i
Previous to the arrival of Santa Anna, ;
neither party had lost an inch of ground, j
and but few followers, although they had !
been at it for several days.
The revolutionary parties would ocea- j
sionally cease hostilities and demand of
each other why they did not march to the j
assistance of Vera Cruz, but it invariably !
ended in a misunderstanding-, and at it they I
went again.
Santa Anna is, no doubt, the President
of Mexico, by this act, for the time being,
although Farias was not completely routed
as we stated in our last.

uuiuu/Liiiia s victory in Ducna v lsia was j
celebrated with great pomp in the city of |
Mexico.
Camalizo, at the last accounts, was at j
Jalapa. The dilli^rencis conveying1 him to i
that place was robbed by two Mexicans. '
although it contained five or six passengers.
A Post Office has been established, and i
the necessary arrangements made to insure j
the forwarding of letters and paper from the j
army, to their friends in the States.

of business in Vera Cruz, the Eagle re-j

Easter Sunday.?On Sunday morning

and were gratified to see so full an attendance
of our officers and men. In rather
an obscure place, on the left hand side of the

Manner or Applying manure to the Soil.
There is much diflerence of opinion in regard
lo the best manner of applying ma- |
nures.?Some hold that they should always
be plowed in, and give as a reason that ma- !
nil re never goes down, but if lost at all is by i
evaporation. Others go counter to this rule i
in all respects, and contend that "surface j
manuring" is far preferable?that the valti- j
ituir prnicipius i>i ni iiiuu; taiiuui uc uiirm'u
off by the air, but are only in danger of,
being lost by "leaching." The advocates 1
of the two systems may bo regarded as in a ;
situation similar to the two knights who i
fought over the white and black shield J
both are in part wrigh', in part wrong. As
regards the position that manure is never lost !
by going downward, every man's observa- !
t.ion may have taught him it is an error !
Who-ever has examined the earth under his ;
manure heaps, or in his barn-yard, must ;
found palpable evidence that the li-rtalizing ;
elements ofmanure may penetrate to a greater
depth than is commonly reached by the
plow. In one instance within the writer's
observation, the surface ofthc ground where j
a barn had stood was carried otl'to the depth i

several years afterwards the spot, (though 1
in the midst of afield,) was plainly discov- j
crahle in the increased luxuriance iti the}
crop it produced. The cases cited may he
said to be extreme ones, but they show that
the theory to which we refer is false.
The idea that nothing can be lost from
manure by exhalation, does not seem to any
better supported by facts than the opposite ;
theory previously considered. Carbon and j
nitrogin, which constitute the chief elements j
of manure, arc both capable of assuming an ;
aeriform state. The nitrogen which exists
in manure for the most part in the form of J
.minium.i, jciiimy > UlilllK', unci OS- .
capes into the air. The escape of this sub- '
stance from manure heaps and fermenting .
urine, is readily perceived by the strong '
smell emitted. The dung dropped on pas- !
turesby cattle and horses, does comparative- :
ly but little good. It mostly dries up, and
looses its value. If all the strength soaked j
into the ground, should wo not see a great- j
er effect from it ? The mine dropped by j
animals is immediately absorbed, and the i
effect is sooner or laier strikingly seen in j
the rankness of the grass.
The true point to be observed in the in |
the application of manures, is to place them |
where none ol their value shall l>o wasted, :
ond at the same time in a situation to be !
acted on by the agents of decomposition. |
These agents are chiefly beat, air, and moisture.
Heat is required, because in its absence
substances are without change ; air
is required because oxygen, a kind of air j
and a part of the atmosphere, is the greatest i
decomposing clement in nature ; and mois- i
ture is required because its absorption by '
objects admits the entrance and action of
oxygen. Light, also, (and perhaps electricity,)
exercises some agency in decomposition.
The medicines ot* the doctor a^d.
apothecary arc sometimes decompose^ by

and may hafce seen how the souring process
is hastened by-setting the barrel wliere the
sun will shine on it, and by turning the rays
on the liquor by putting the bottle in the
bung-hole.
The influence essential to the germination
of seeds, are nearly the same as those
which promote decomposition. The seeds
of some plants will remain inert, when buried
in the soil, for an indefite period, and
on being brought near the surface, or Within
the influence of heat, air, and light, will
germinate and produce perfectly healthy
plants. Instances of this kind are within
