TRIMxIsG CRAZE YiSrs-A correspondent
has sent us a communication upon trimming
grape vines, which is reasonable but too long
for the crowded state OF our columns at the pre-
sent time. Those who have grape vines should
lose no time in having them trimmed. The
wood Of last years growth only bears grapes,
consequently in trimming the vines, as much Of
the old wood - possible should be cut away,
Too much bearing wood should not be left. but
ths number Of eyes or buds ien for bearing should
be graduated to the size of the vine. II We can

down on Santa Fe. as was minated by
our last advices. They were met by Capt.
Morris's. command in The valley of the
Moro, and totally dsteafed!! A great
number fthe enemy were killed and woun
ded aud the rest fled precipitately to the
mountains. The action was most bril-
liam, one on the part of our men and re.
fleets much credit on their coolness and
courage.

were met and routed. A party of thirty
flance-s turned of into a bye road, were
pursued by Lieuls. Lowry and Oakes and
three men, aud all but 6ve were either
dismounted or sabred. Major Sumner
and Capt. Sibley had number of Perso.

the village Of Medelin, six miles beyond

with three men. A supporting party was
sent after him, but his horse being feeter
than the Others; he first caught up with
the pursued, two of whom closed upon
him. He fought gallantly with them, bIt
received Two lance wounds in the arm and
breast, aud fell from his horse. The pur:
suit was continued two miles farther, but
uliight coming on, the party returned 10
camp, which place they reached at 8
O'clock in the morning. Major Gen. Pat

attack, but in very genllemanly manner
declined taking command but assisted 10

Y The cool judgment Of Col. Harvey in

DEATH OF ROBERT A. Joyce.

The following letter of Col. Davis, of
the Mississippi Regiment. to General
Thompson, of this place announces the
painful fact that Mr.. Joyce was amous
the slain in the battle Of. Buena Vista.
The community in Greonville District,
where he was raised, and the readers Of
our paper, who remember the interesting
letters from him to his father, which we
were permitted to publish. will unite in
regrettins that warm-heared and gallant
soldier has fallen, and that his friends are
deprived Of the contemplated pleasure Of
welcoming his return, in honor aud dis
,inction, from the army Of Gen. Taylor to
the home Of his respected parent whose
a(fliction at the death Of heroic son com
mands the deepest sympathy Of large
circle Of friends. The'letter Of Col. Davis
is trief in remark but suggests The only
consolation which kindred and friends can
realize, aud no words Of ours eau increase
