The bill lias luid two reach ings in the House, unci will como beforo the I committee of the whole of the House on If next Monday, and will certainly pass the 0 present Congress. The bill restores to the 1 pension rolls, with all arrears of pay due, a the pensioners of 'he Mexican war who were stricken from the rolls for ai^^ed die3 loyalty, and pensions all survival *t the rale of eight dollars per month frdtn date 1 of its passage. * i It appears front the argument framed by r .Judge Mackcy in support of the bill that i the Palmetto Ib giment was mustered into service on the 20th of December, 1810, i with 1.077 men. and was mustered out iu June, 1.818, with but 800 survivors, and , there are but 81 officers and utpn of that ; famous regiment now living. It is also sta 1 ted that there are but G.000 survivors of 1 tho Mexican war who are entitled to pen: sions under the bill, out of an aggregate force of 75,000. The official records from which Judge Mackcy cites at length show I that tho army fought ten general battles > and 08 engagements in the course of two years without the loss of a single stand of colors, and that they entered the City of i Mexico, the J'ulmctto llcgiiueut leading, with G,f>00 men, and dictated n peace withI in a walled city, the capital of a foreign nation, of 150,000 inhabitants. The population of Mexico at that time was 8,000,000. We arquired by our aruis 1)000,000 square miles of territory, in which are now embraced California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, nod part of the State of Nebraska. The bureau of statistics reports that from tho territory thus acquired 81.100,000,000 in gold and silver have been taken in the past thirty-two years. The soldiois ask only eight dollars a month. No such results as they secured have ever been achieved by so small an army for the country that it served. They more than doubled the territory of the I'nited States. ?iVctrs ami Courier. 1 low to Plough Wki.l.?Tn the first place have your plough sharp. Kvcii a pood workman will not be able to do good work with bad tools. It is not enough to turn over a clean furrow.

Plough an inch or so deeper each voar, and thus deepen your seed bed and hriii*' the subsoil into contact with light and air Ibr their chemical operations. You can never go too deep, provided you go slowly. Never be in a hurry at this kind of work. II' you have not the time to do your work just right make the time. One acre well ploughed is worth two acres half way done. If a rock or a root or any other obstruction is in your way stop and get rid of it entirely. 1 f it is rock put in on tho fence or throw it into a sink hole; never let it bother you again.

Exc.h<twje. j "Amazing Grace."?The following, in Harper's Mayazinr, is vouched for by one of the most reliable of Philadelphia divines: A young clergyman having agreed to supply the pulpit of an older brother absent from home, escorted to church the daughter I of the pastor, aud after seeing her safely in her father's pew, ascended to the pulpit, unconscious that this natural attention to the young lady was sufficient to excite lively imaginations and inquiries in the audience. Upon reading the hymn to he sung, the i young clergyman was surprised to pcrcievo evident efforts in the congregation to suppress laughter. The daughter of his friend possessed the mellifluous name of Grace, and, all unsuspicious of that fact, he had chosen the hymn beginning with the words Amazing grace,' and proceeding with: 'Twin grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved. How precious did (hat grace appear The hour 1 first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares 1 have already come : 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead ine home.
