The St. Louis New Era has made sad blunder in speaking ofsome of the products cultivated in the vicinity of the city of Mexico.
 It says: "They cultivate extensively an ha6 call ed MscaH, which they in place ot hemp, to make bags and ropeof it's root they make very palala- ble lermented beverage called puike. It is stout urckIy plant, and makes a good hedges
 The plant spoken of is what is called in some parts of Mexico henequin, in others maguey- Agave Americana or American Aloe-lrom the leaves of which are procured what is known in commerce as "Sisal hemp." It is indigenous in man, parts of Mexico and used for hemp making without the trouble of cultivation. It is perennial and well suited for hedging, the leaves being long, stiff and slightly serrated, every point being armed will, sharp stiff thorn. Dating back to the days of the yice-rovaty, and perhaps to earlier period, ex. tensiye plantations were in cultivation in the valley of Mexico--,nore, however, for the puque, which brought handsome incomes 10 the propretors, than lermenting this beverage was obtained from the Indians At certain season, long vigorous Towering stem shoots up from the centre of the pIant the bud forming al the top. When sufficient
 y matured, It is skfulIy scooped out, thus forming basin large enough contain about quart ol the
 uice and is generally filled during the day. These basins or cups are emptied every morning even ing and their contents put suitable place for the process of fermentation This is the mode of pro- curing the pulque and not from the root as stated by the New Era.

LATER FROM MExIco.-We have later accounts from Mexlco via Pensacola, received at that place by the United States sloop of war Saratoga The letter of our correspondent, and an extract from the correspondence Of the New Orleans Bee, furnish the particulars. The report of Henera's election to the Presidency is confirmed. Gen. AlmonIe, late Min ster to the United States, is said 10 be al the head of the new cabinet. Congress adjourned without a formal declaration fwar against this country. Re- solutions were adopted auhorlsing Ihe loan of Is millions of dollars to deIay the expense of rscOnqUe
 jug Texas. Thus, all the buster of d declaration o war has eyaporated m smoke; and an attempt to re. conquer Texas is about as probable as the negota' ton of the proposed loan.

Mr. Trigueros, the late Secretary of the Treasury, and Mir.

The motion was finally carried by vote of P 10 26, and we are now likely to get possession of all the leading facts in this mysterious affair. copy of the report will be forwarded to us as soon as practicable after il is made public in Mexico, and we shall publish it for the information oi the clamsnts.''
