EGGs.-Almos, every body loves good fresh
eggs, and with or without glasses or silver
spoons, can conlrive to cal them; whether
boiled or fried. raw or roasted, made into
custard with sugar and spices, or swallow
ed gently with bordering of old Port,
they agree with the palare and stomach;
and neatly laid out with fat slices of bacon,
they form repasl within the reach of all,
and to be despised by none. But though
most farmers keep fowls, and raise their
own eggs, there are many who have not
yet learned The difference there is in the
richness and flavor of eggs produced by
fat and we'll fed hens, and those from
birds that have been half starved through
our winters. There will be some differ
euce IN the size, but far more in the quail
ty. The yolk of one vii! be large, fine
colored, and of good consislence, and the
albumen or white, clear and pure; while
the contents Of the oIher will be warery
and meager, as though there was not vitali-
,y or substance enough in the parent fowl
to properly carry out and complete The
work that nature had sketched In order
to have good eggs, The hens should be well
fed, aud also provided during the months
they are unable to come al the ground,

of fine gravel, Gfof limestone, 80 mucht he

and prepare for digestion the food they re-

profits of the smalIfarmer. and fewcrealures
better repay the care and attention they
receive. OF eggs. those of the domestic
hen are decidedly the best; butlhose ofbolh

The encampment fthe officers ofIhe lst
Brigade, (alPickensviile,) closed on Sa'ur-
dav, we believe with the universal admi-
ration Of all present, either as officers Or
spectators. 1t was'a striking proof OF how
short a time is required 10 make militia,
good troops. We heard but one remark
from officers ofth highest rank down, aud
that was, that thew had never witnessed
such drill of militia troops. Indeed.
General McDutfie, who has just returned
from France, pronounced them equal to
French regulars General Thompson
commanded, and conducted the drill on
the day of review. We had long admired
him for his talents and eloquence, and
loved him for his thousand private virtues,
bu, had not supposed, with his olher many
avoca,ions, that he knew very much Of
military affairs but he managed The whole
affairs Of the week, and drilled with the
precision aud accuracy of one who had
been raised in camp.
The only unpleasant occurrence, was the
loss of hand by one Of the men, Captain
Robins. of Pickens District,) from the
bursting of gun. Just before the troops
were dismissed, they were addressed by
General Thompson upon the subject. and
immediately contributed upwards Of two
hundred dollars 10 the poor mans relief.

ware, and some pieces of bones--all in
tolerable preservation. They are sup
posed to refer to period anterior to the

LATEST FROM MExICo.-There have
been two arrivals here this morning from
Mexico. One bringing accounts from
Matamoras 10 The last week in July; and
the other furnishing news from Tampico
to the lst Of August.
Bv the way of Matamoras, we learn
that general Lemus had obtained arms and
ammunition, and was at The head of 1000
Federalists at Mouclova, on the 24th oi
July, and intended TO march on Monterey
where the Cenralist general Canalizo was
doing nothins,in consequence oflheleeble-
ness of his forces.
The town of Matamoras was still con-
sidered as in Stale of seige. Little or
nothing was doing in the business line
and the government officers were quarrel
ling among themselves.
The latest Tampico date We have is da.
led July 81.
Things remained quiet, and mercantile
business was very good. There was a
repor, among the English merchants, that
Mr.. Packenham would settle the dispute
between Mexico and Texas.
The English packet Rebecca sailed
from Tampico on The 25h Of July, with
663, ,569 dollars in specie on board. She
was 10 touch at Vera Cruz, before she
s,eered for England.
1t was reported that The Mexican gov
ernment had determined that no more coin
or bullion Should be exported by the way
ofTanpico. This repor, had created dis
satisfaction.
