The olive branch of peace will bo tender- , cd her, but if she refuses to listen to reason, , and persists in retaining possession of New | Mexico in claim, a war will most undoubtedly ensue. , Santa Anna has lbol-luirdincss sufficient to , imagine that he can wipe out the stain, his country received at Cerro Gordo, Beuna Vis- j ta, Chcrubuxco and Chupultepec, but ho will , find himself miserably mistaken. It docs Beem as if it was the manifest des- | tiny of Mexico to become a part nnd parcel of these Uni'ed States, and it may be the only means by which the deluded, degraded , and priest ridden Mexicans may be civilized and enlightened. There can be no better country than Mexico, and once let the llolv Gospel, be preached among its inhabitants, and that with effect, a new* light will break in upon the minds of ihe poor Mexican, and he will throw off the slavish bonds of Catholicism, and see that he really is a rational and accountable being. To-day has been one of almost painful excitement our city, occasioned by the election of our city officers. M License or No license," is alao the teat, nnd the doggeriea having opened their bars, free to all without money or price, in order to defeat the temperance movement.

On motion, ordered that the Secretary publish the proceedings of this meeting, and the f!nn?titnliAit ??/ H?.l ? planting oh the South or Wcat aide of the talk, the peas when up will shade the earth around tho root of the com, and retain the moiaturo much longer, than If planted in the middle furrow, lost year I planted three varieties. The "Cureton," "Crawford," and "Pelharn," and succeeded well with each.? The former is a deep brown red, and a very hardy pea, for I noticed a few days since, that a number after lying out and in tho ground all winter, had come up. The two last are a larger pen and yellow. Those varieties may have other names, but not knowing, I have called each variety after the gentlemen from whom I obtained the aeed, I am planting the same varieties this year, but ' would give tho "Cureton" pea the prefference, had I saved sufficient seed to plant my wholo crop from that variety beforo throwing all together for feeding purposes. I remarked to n friend to-dny, that I waa now planting my pena, and he observed thut it was a very favorable time, that it waa a good timo of the moon?the light at the moon," it struck me at tho time, that I waa fortunate in being ready and planting at ? at the proper time, and plowing, and then i having the light of the moou with me. I I cannot sav what effect the mnnn m?w h?vc. but it is certainly no object! in, that being ready in all other respects, the moon ia also . with me. Peaa should be planted by the side of every hill of corn that is cultivated ; it is a crop nmde. without any additional work, is valuable ns a rich nutritous food for all kinds of r stock, especially fo.-milk cows and fattening t hogs, ft hv? no tendency to deteriorate, but . on the contrary, tends to the improvement of the soil by shading the earlh during tho hot autumnal days, retaining the moisture at the important season, it is needed to mako i and fill out the well grown ear of corn, and in the end gives b.ck to the soil, (by tho | leaves and vines which arc led to rot and be s plowed in with tho earth,) more than is ab| atracted. It is the opinion of some intelligent scientific agriculturists, that the pea crop is fed and nourished clucily by the atmosphere ; that it is to the South what the clover is to tho North?a fcrUlizcr of tho soil, by sowing broadcast and plowing in, t when in a green state. r In planting peas, a "twister" shovel plow may be used, but tire ground before the corn . was planted should be broken close and deep , with " LONG OR ADS."
