To the Editor Of the Times.
SIR:-A few hours since,I arrived here
from Vera Cuz. via New Orleans, and will
leave Immediately for Washington, to lay
before his Excelency, the President, s'the
basis" upon which the war between Mexi-
co and Texas may possibly be terminated,
which basis, or propositions emanate from
and bear the signature Of Gen. Santa Anna,
President Of Mexico.
1st. 1t is proposed that Texas should az

Cd. A general act of amnesty to be pass
&c for past acts in Texas.

From the Michigan Farmer:
Civilization Of the Onion.

u
Mr.. EDIToR;-Many have deemed the
cultivation Of the Onion too precarious. and
still consider it an uncertain crop; conse-
quently comparatively few are raised
Various causes exist, which, if rightly
understood, many easily be obviated and
overcome. The Onion, unlike other root
crops, does not require great depth of
soil, as the roots do not penetrate i; but at
a little depth. Planting too deep often
produces failure. 1t requires a modera-
tely strong soil, and a southern exposure is
the best.
After the onion beds are prepared in
the usual way, (Which should be done as
early as the season will admit, cover them
from one to two feet deep with dry straw:
burn the straw until it is reduced 10 ashes,
and rake the surface Of the beds while
they are warm SO as 10 incorporate the
ashes Of the straw with the soil. When
sufficiently cool The beds will be ready for
the seed. Sow in drills, as usual The
adva ntages Of this mode Of cultivation are
superior. as has been proven by those who
have practiced it.
e I. The heat Of the burning straw will
penetrate the soil so deep as 10 DESTROY
most Of the seeds Of weeds, so that the on
ions will appear before the weeds can get
the start of them, which will render the
cultivation more rapid and with much less
labor.
2. 1t facilitates The growth Of the seeds
planted-which should be prepared BY
soaking in moderate warm water at first
and then reduce the temperature and soak
