LEGATION OF THE U. S. or AMERICA,
Mexico, 9th April, 1872
The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minis
ter Pleppotentiary of the United States of America,
has had the honor To receive the communication
which his Excelency Jose Maria dc Bocanegra, Min
ister of Foreign Relations and Government, address
ed TO him the 23d instant and begs IN reply there
to- to assure your Excellency that the Government OF
the United States has disposition to nteIpose its
protection in behalf OF any of its people who may
unite with the enemies of Mexico in making war
upon it, and still less complain when any such are
captured that they are treated as prisoners OF war
The undersigned has not understood the cases OF
the prisoners of the Santa Re expedition, and he Is
quite sure that il these cases had been looked upon
m that light by his Government, that steps what
ever would have been taken in their behalf still less
would they have been demanded as American citl-
zens The war between Texas and Mexico had
sumbered for six years, and 1t IS not remembered
that there had been any act of hostility aggression
on either side during that period. In this state oil
things an expedition purporting to be purely COM
mercal was projected to Santa Fe and whatever
other purposes may have been entertained was known
only to d few of the officers, Certain American citi-
zens for purposes Of pleasure or profit, connect
themselves with i and without having committed
one hostile act or manifested one hostile feeling to-
wards Mexico, are made prisoners Under these
circumstances their Government could rot do less
than insist upon their liberation
The undersigned IS gratitied that they have been
discharged, and he does not therefore regard II as
material to inquire the grounds upon which the most
Excellent the President of Mexico has chosen to
place this just and proper act-whether upon the
manifest Justice Of the aN itself, or disposition to
manifest his good disposition to the United States,
to its late representative, Mr. Ellis. TIE undersign-
ed assures your Excellency that all proper measures
will be taken they have been, preserve strict
neutrality between Mexico and Texas.
He hopes and believes that no case is likely again
to occur calling for the interposlton of TIM Govern
ment to protect its citizens. II none such is pre-
sented No such nterpotion will be made but if any
such does occur the undersigned need not assure
your Excellency that il unquestonaby will be.
The undersigned has the honor to renew to your
Excellency the assurance of his very distinguished
consideration.

Revolutionary Arecdote.

Towards the close of the revolutionary war, NJ
officer in the army had occasion 10 trans acl some
business with General Washington, and repaired
to Philadelphia for that purpose. Before leaving.
he received invitation to dine ith the Gener-
al, which was accepted, and upon entering the
room he found himself IN the company of large
number of ladies and gentlemen. As they were
mostly strangers to hun. and he was naturally of
modest and unassuming disposition. he took "A
seat the foot Of the table. and retained from
. taking an active part IN the conversation. Just
before The dinner was concluded, General Wash
ing Ton called him by name, and requested him 10
drink glass of wine with him.
"You vii! have tho goodness 10 excuse me,
General" was the reply, "as | have made it
rule not to take wine"
All ewes were Instantly turned upon the young
officer. and murmar OF surprise nd horror ran
around the room. That n person should be so
unsocial, and so mean to never drink wine,
was really too bad; but that he should absa from
it an occasion like that, and even when offer
ed TO him BY Washington himself, il was perfect
" intoierable!
Washington saw at once the feelings of his
guests, and promptly addressed them --.Gente-
men," said he, "Mr. - Is right. do not
wish any of my guests to partake of any thing
against their inclination, and certainly do
wish them to violate any established principle, in
their social intercourse with me. honor Mr.
for his frankness, and for his consistency in t,us
adhcrnp a n established rule which can never
do him arm. and for the adoption of which have
doubt he has good and sufficient reasons

ecdoie, ,ha; tho name assumed by the present re
fnrmers-the name OF sWashing

From the American Farmer.


Sir.--Mnny expedien's have been resor,ed Il
for the protection of fruit from the b!IghtIng IN
hucnce Of late frosts. Throwing a sheet over
the tree. hanging iron upon IT, kindllng fire un
der it, &c. have each been found to have ben
eticial influence, but none have been more eilic
ent than the experiment which am bout to de
scribe.
My friend. Mr.. Ruff, who was vrtuoso, late
Nv informed me that many years ago he il
stated in French paper, that by throwing a
hempen rope over the top of the tree, when IN
bloom near the time of blooming, and by let
ting ITS lower end touch the ground, the tree
would thus be projected from the influence of the
frost. This | thought quite rational and philo>
sophie; | accordingly made the experiment.
To prove moro fully the modus operandi took
two dishes haH filled with water, and set them a
few feet distant, under the tree, the night be-
fore an expected frost, the trees being nearly IN
full blossom. Throwing the rope over the top Of
the tree let the other end hang in the water of
of the dishes--the event prov ed the correct
ness OF The theory. There hard fros, on
the morning of the 9Th inst. and tho dish INTO
which the rope deposited, con tanned ice to
the thickness Of dollar, while that in the other
dish scarcely Of the thickness Of paper.
The philosophy Of the above experiment is
this: the rope, which was previously weted, was
a conductor of heat; the air, and of course the
limbs Of the tree became colder in the night than
the corth--ihe rope conducted the heat from the
earth to the tree, thus keeping up equilibrium
and preserving the tree from frost.
As far as my observation extends, the critical
time Tor fruit Is long before ii is IN blossom; but
II is nevertheless true. that severe and protraced
cold al that time, even later, Will destroy the
fruit. This the case last year. The fruit
killed by frost after had been firm
cd.
There is not in my mind doubt that by a.
,aching rope to each of choice fruit, and
thus letting 1t permanently remain through the
winter and Spring, that tho fruit would be
cure from the effects Of frost.
To tho incrcduous and supercilious who bal
their grist all their lives with big Stone
who, sufficiently wise, diSpisc ledge and in
structIon, the above may appear unworthy their
attention. Let such he informed that il is not
less phiIosophc than lightning rods attached to
buildings to protect them from tho influence of
