II ? ? ?? I I III. (Continual from first-page.) 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. From the Vera Cruz American Eagle. j Vera Cruz. Mexican Affairs. Our acquaintance i with the Mexicans of this city is yet too j iimnea 10 De lurnisnca witn any consiUera? 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. Q.j?A J T-? ir- - 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. In speaking of the general appacarance j of business in Vera Cruz, the Eagle re-j marks:?

Easter Sunday.?On Sunday morning last we entered the church on the Plaza, 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 aisle, sat Gen. Scott, and a number of his -^The .General appeared devout and not v like the many of ; ?"?^P^esf Jjj ^ ??ss a[* ... jcreAt^d'^^iittle astonishment .^^^^6','naliye^ and; he was readily known and whiskered- agoat- as thetComj The doctrine^s^p&lo^J^n pj^c|a>nied that we are the et^roiss of jthat religion held so sacred by the Mexicarfs^vbiit fwfe hope soon to convince them that' we war against nio man for hi3 religious principles, Rand nothing is better calculated to demonstrate^this fact than the presence, at places of Wdrshin. of thehlffll in rnmmnnrl nmnnn-Ql tls, whoso 'liberality of religious^ tolerance induces them to worship at any. shrine the great Gteatoir of the Universe.

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 o ? ?rl? s\r\ 1 t /\ 4 11 r.-? n %#! X* v.i^ihouii iiiuiii.'^ iu iu 17 auu yut ifir j 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 the influeiicc.-or,light, evcikwheh contained j iii yess^sKvliiciil aire perfect)^; iftipervious to j me air. it is on accouht "of ttu#ifcfluefocc that.

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 thfi nhsnrvniinn r?f ounw AA~ VA v.
