GFThe Mexicans claim that the terrific
ry OF the United States extends only to the
Neuces. THE federalists claim the same
thing. The Mexicans claim that the Uni
ted States have committed grievous wrongs
against their "mugnanimots" nation-that
is. just what the federalists say--they both
claim that the United States is the wrong.
Is it not clear who are the ones who oppose
their own country and take. sides with the
enemy. elalt.Fr 1.-sg.4a. -.5.',,. f..5.

LATE FROM THE ARMY
MATAMOfsAS TAKEN.

The Steamer Telegraph is just in. From
the following synopsis from the seat of war
twill be seen that the Rubicon, or Rio
Grand is crossed by the advance division-of
our gallant army, and that the enemy flies
before them; burning their towns and forts,
and permitting them to fall into the posses
sion Of our gallant little army without a
defensive shot. VA a.s 7,t%f
The glorious and well fought battles OF
the 9th and 9th have struck terror into the
enemy and decided, it would appear, the
fate ofthe campaign. This is not what

DESTRUCTION OF THE BLACK GRUB.-
This is most perverse, as well as a most
PerniciOus thing, lying snugly under the
ground, near the roots of the plants, in the
daytime, and coming out at night to eat the
plant of'at the stem, or to eat out its heart.
Lime has no power over it; nothing will
keep it of, and there are no other means
of checking its depredations than by taking
it with the hand, which may be done in
garden, by examining a little about the
ground just round the stem of every plant,
for as soon as it has destroyed one plant, it
gets ready for another for the next nights
work. The ravages Of this insect should
be particularly guarded against, as a whole
crop may be destroyed in few nights

OAT FODDER FOR HORsEs.

Alta discussion had at meeting Of the
Darlington Eng.) farmers Club, Decem.
Der 9Th, on the best and cheapest mode o.
keeping draught horses during winter, Mr..
Trotter said
"Ihave paid some attention to the SUBJ
iect of keeping draught horses during the
winter for the last three years have
adopted quite different mode to what pre-.
viously followed. My method formerly,
was to allow my draught horses each two
bushels Of oats per week, together with one
bushel of beans, and as much hay as they
could eat, generally clover hay. For the
last three winters have fed them almost
entirely on cut oat-sheaf-cut into halEinch
chafF-which has been a very great saving
to me.
ain an oat crop of about forty stocks per
acre, which might yield near sixty bushels,
the feed Of draught horse averages two
sheaves per day, or fourteen sheaves per
week, which would be about bushel and
three pecks per week, if they had been
thrashed out, which is saving of a peck
