Position Of Affairs in Menico.- Intense in.
tercst is felt to learn the particulars of the
suspension of hostilItes by Gen. Scott and
to know the position in which il has left our
army. The correspondent of the N. D. Bull
letin, writing from Vera Cruz, says:
Proposals Ind been sent to Gen. Scott, Of.
ferIng to treat, and the fighting had been sus-
pended, though the batteries and artillery OF
the Americans were oil ready to fire on them,
and Gen. Scott had actually commenced
when the flag Of truce reached HIM.
The result was not known, though the
courier verbally reports that The American
army were actually entering the city when
he left.
Nothing farther will probably be known
until the arrival of the English courier, who
is expected on the lst Of September.
The Americans hnd cut off the supply OF
water, and the army was on both sides Of the
city. The fight that took place was with
that portion under Worth. The action last.
cd two hours, and was sanguinary and deci
sivc, as regards the Mexicans. We know
nothing as 20 the American loss.
Gen. Scott, besides his flying artillery, has
a very large battering train with him, and no
doubt is felt here lha, he has Obtained pos.
session of the city. We anxiously wal, full
details, and sincerely hope it will lead to
peace.

The PoTAro DisEAsE.-Until within q
short time farmers throughout the country
have been very sanguine that The potato
disease would not appear this year. We no
tice however, within few days, that the pa
pcrs Throughout, The country begin to record
ITS appearance. The following we clip from
the Buffalo Commercial
Many people hoped that as potatoes con
linued in a healthy condition beyond the
time when they began to loose their vgor
las, year, tho danger was diminished bu,
they did not give due weigh, To The strong
fact that potatoes, ss also oa,s and Indian
corn, are not so forward this year as they
were in 1916 The disease is later IN point
ol time, but has attacked the plant as nearly,
II not precisely, The same period OF It's growth
as in former seasons. Farmers are bringing
their potatoes into this market freely, hoping
to sell before much injury is sustained"
| We learn by a gentleman from Livingston
CO, that The disease has appeared in his
neighborhood within few days. 10 passing
through Whestland recently, we noticed
several fields in which The decay had made
It's appearance within short time. We still
hope that it may not prove destructive 10 the
crop as lost year. Roch. Amer.
The Ohio Star says:-
The Port Tobacco Times of Thursday last
says Of the crops in Charles County, Md -
| "Some Of our farmers say there has been
too much rain this season for corn. We are
told the yield will fall short the quantity ex-
pected to be made q few weeks since. Plant
ers in this neighborhood commenced some
Of them, cutting tobacco last week. This
crop has also been seriously affected by the
copious rains"
The ST. Louis Union, Of Aug. Both, says
of the crops in Missouri
"The crops in the northern parts Of this
State were never better. The farmers will
send to market not only large quantities of
whea, and corn, but beef and pork to II heavy
amount"
"This disease has made its appearance
in some fields in this vicinity. and the proba-
bIli,y seems to be that it will turn out to be
more extensive than in past years"
The Cincinnati Atlas ssys:-
"The potato rot is prevailing in this part
of the State 10 an alarming extent. We no.
iice complaints of the disease in Fairfield
Pickawuy, Ross. and Clinton countless"
The Cleveland Herald says:
"The potato disease has appeared in some

4 Noble Resistance of Sabbath DtsserGtion.--
A recent instance OF princlpled, unyieldinR
resistance TO the temptation OF violating the
Lords day, is worthy Of record. The Gree
tors of on important Western Railroad ap
piled TO a man Of we'll known energy. enter
Prise aud religious principle, To leave his
business, which was productive, and take th'
perintendence of the road. lie replied
promptly, that he could not consider The ques
iIon, inssmuch as It involved the violation o'
the Sabbath. They responded that the oh
lection was anticipated, aud It was agreed
beforehand that if he would bring his ener-
gles to their enterprise, all work should cease
on the day Of rest. With view To the
good that he might thus accomplish. bo &C
cepted the. office, and discharged it's duties
with promp,ness and fidelity, making him
self necessary to the good conduct aud pros
periiy OF the concern.
During the present season, the business OF
the road increased at such rate. that the
directors thought il could not be done IN SIX
days. Besides. il was very inconvenlent for
passengers to tarry over tho Sunday at the
intermediate places, where they must lodge
# starting on Saturday from either end o'
the road. AT first they consulted the super
lntendent, TO gain his consent, IT possible to
the running Of Sunday trains When re
fused, they sought to induce him to step aside
and let another agent do the work on that
day. lilo was still unyielding. At last q
majority Of the board resolved at oil hazards
to carry their point, and ordered the cars to
run on Sunday. The superintendent re
minded them of the express conditions or
which he LEFT O lucrative business to undertake
their work, and resigned his post. The difec-
tors reconsidered their vote restored the su
perin,e ndent and there is al end of Sabbath
dcsecralion on that important rallroad-we
hope for ever. A few such men might break
up business which is a violation Of the lave
