The accounts which have already been
Igiven of Gen. Taylor& march TO the Rio
Hrande, and Of his POSITION opposite Mata-
moras are fully confirmed. The advance
guard Of his forces were were met some
seventy miles from the Rio Grardc ana
warned 10 advance no further. A.an up
on the Arroy Colorado, awrittcn notice was
received, thai any further advances would
be ,emcd an act Of hostility. Still Gen.
Taylor continued his nPrch, meeting Will.
no resistance. lie himself was waited up-
on at BraZoS Santiago, when in advance of
his army, by a deputation Of the civil au-
to retire. We haze had all these facts in
Substance before us. In spite of these
Warnings Ggn. IayiortoOk M his position
the 2@th ult. directly opposite Matamo-
moras, and within reach of the Mexican
batteries. Utterly disrcgarding these, he
proceeded to plant four IS Founders, 50
that at any moment he could batter down
the city at pleasure.
Thus affairs remained till the IItn inst,
when Gen. Ampudia arrived at Matamcras.
The following day Gen. Ampudia seat a
written notice to Gen. Taylor requiring
him to retire at oncc to the LEFT bank OF the
river Neuces, and insinuating to him that
his persistence in maintaining his position
would be deemed an overt act Of hostility.
To this Gen. Taylor replied substantially
that he had received orders from the Pres
of the United States TO take thc l,p-
sition opon the Rio Grande, and to Sc that
encroaclment was made upon our Terri
tory; that he should obey his orders, an.
repel any hostile attempt TO cG.as The river.
1T the same time he assured the Mcxic@nI
that he had no hostile designs upon the
people; that they might remain in the I'm
disturbed ~enipyment Of thcir property lad.
and tlist his sole business was. to u.

LEHIGH COUNTY BANK.

We learn from the Pennsylvania Tele-
graph, that by the examination Of the
Cashier Of this Bank, before committee
OF the House, the following facts were es-
tallished, which will, perhaps, have the
effect Of staying further proceedings a.
gainst this institution:
1st. That the capital of the Bank was
paid in 4recie or specie funds.
2a. That the Lank organized legally,
transacted business literally, and redeem
ed all hs issues in gold and silver
Sd. That seven-etghlhs or more Of the
people OF Lrhigh county were satisfied
with the conduct OF the Bank, and dcsi-
led its continuance amongstthem.
4lh That an organized conspiracy eX-
istcd among tpW TO break down the
Bank by purchasing its notes and sending
in large amounts TO be redeemed at the
Bank in specie; and who hoped by this
coulsp that the Lank would Ue unable 10
stand run.

direct application was made 10 the Ligis-
lalure to repeal the charter.

From this table it will be seen that the

have defeated an election of Governor by

almost two to one in both branches Of the

In most cases, If no. all. il will be found
that IN soils that have sufficient strength
to produce a good crop Of clover, the imme-
dia'p benefit from the turning in OF the
clover will be greater than from an appli-
cation Of lime. But on lands that have
been exhausted, or naturally deficient of
lime, a dressing OF this material will be
found necessary as well or the production
o. good clover as for wheat. The princi-
pal rrasoa why clover is more valuable
than any other crop as preparation for
wheat. is, because il ahsorls and elatora
from the earth and the air precisely the
kind Of materials that are required by the
wheat pauG and hence when buried and
decomposed it forms the most suitable food
