DAYS with considerable loss on our side, but much
greater on iha, Of the Mexieans. Subseq uent
accounts represent Gen. +. as having fallen
back on Monterey. The day left Camargo a
letter was received from the Alcalde Of Mier say
ing thai the Mexican troops had entered that
town iwenty-iour miles distant from the former
place and had made him prisoner in consequence
OF MS endeavoring to secreie stores leil behind
10 his charge when Lieut.. Col. McCook evacu-
ated the place. Colonel Curtis intended TO
march with his regiment for Monterey the mo.
ment Colonel Drake, with The Sd Indiana Reg.
ment, arrived from Matamoras 10 relieve him
The latter officer vas awaiting the arrival Of the
Mississippi regiment, which met on the river q
short distance below Malamoras on its way up.
This regiment and six Companies Of the Virgin
ia regiment, under Lieut.. Col. Randolph, which
arrived at Camargo the day left that place, are
the only volunteer regiments arrived on the Rio
Grunde, all the other regiments thar had arrived
having been sent below to Lobos. From what
source Gen. Taylor is to expect relief it is i'm
possible to say. Every soldier, and in fact dou.
Jle or thrice the number that now constitute the
garrisons at the different depots, are actually
necessary for their defence and no one can be
spared. Information can hardly reach General
Scott 10 time for him TO march division 10 his
relief.
In addition 10 the above. which reduces to
some order and certninty our information from
the Rio Grnnde, we learn further from DR.. Jarvis
that bearer Of dispatches had left Camargo for
Tampico. and sailed from the mouth Of the Rio
Grande On the 9th inst. on The McKim. IL the
information we give in another column from
Tampico be entirely authentic, the messenger
would not reach his destination until the depar-
parure Of all the troops which can be spared
from that point. II would seem, however, that
from Tampico by way Of Victoria, Gen. Taylor
must look for reinforcemenis.
The Mexican chzcns in the valley Of the Rio
Grande aro abandoning their homes in crowds.
Malamoras aud Camargo are stripped Of their
native inhabitants. They dread The approach
OF their own army more than the presence OF
ours.
No fears are expressed for the safety Of Ca
mnrgO, where we have vast amount Of stores.
There are 1900 fighting men in the place in.
cuding all classes. They are well armed. aud
the place so strongly fortified that it will proba.
bly, not be attempted.
We are most happy 10 say that the reported
capture Of McCulloch and his command is I'M
founded. IL harm has occurred 10 him il must
have been somewhere beyond Monterey.
We have abundant supply of reported Incl.
dents by this arrival, many oIwhch are interest
ing and would be important were they authentic;
but enough is known with certainty ofthe posi-
ton of affairs on the Rio Grande and at Satillo
to excite alarm, without aggravaling it by Mexi.

From the NeU Orleans DaIt0, March IS,
IMPORTANT FROM TAMPlCO.

BY the Pioneer, Capt. S. Brown, which arriv-
ed ut this port last evening in seven days from
Lobos Island via Tampico, we have interesting
and important news US to the embarkalion Of our
troops for the demonstration that is to be made
on the city and castle of Vera Cruz. On the 29lh
ult. between fifty and sixty sail of vessels left
Tampco and Lobos Island with hoops and mu.
nitions of war of every description for the bonn
bardment of Vera Cruz.
Every vessel in the harbor-ships, barks,
brlgs, schooners, and steamboas-in fact, every
vessel that could possibly carry men or arms,
was enlisted into the service, and departed as
soon as they could possibly be loaded. 1t was
with great difficulty that the Pioneer got away,
so anxious were the military authorities TO I'M
press her into the service.
Gen. Scott himself is reported 10 have said
that the demonstration would be commenced on
the 10Th inst. and this report was so generally
believed when tho Pioneer left, that il was moi
regarded as a mere rumor, but as "fxed fact"
We may therefore expect every day to hear the
news Of the bombardment of ,hut far. famed Mex.
icun tower of strength, the Castle Of ST. Juan de
Ulua.

SETTING THE ScIoNs.-ln n nursery you may
safely graft all the trees that are half an inch in
diameter at the surface of The ground. Those
of larger size graft at such distance above the
ground as will give astumpol aboutlhree-fourths
of an inch in diameter.
The best time TO graft in an orchard is the sec.
ond or third year after the trees are transplanted
If they are less than an inch IN diameter, a, from
five to six feet from the ground, cut off the whole
top and set the scions in the stump. If ,hey
both live cut away one the second year,
In grating large trees, select the leading and
fairest branches, and cut them off where they are
from three'iourihs Of an inch to three inches ia
diameter. Your tools must be a saw, pruning
knife, and a soft iron wedge about six inches long
for opening the cleft in the stump. Saw off the
branch where it can be split and smooth the tor
with your knife, then splitit by laying your knife
across the centre and driving it down with the
wedge the width Of the blade, then withdraw the
knife andnsert the wedgeto open the cleft enough
to admit the scons. If the stump or branch i:

To PREPARE THE ScIoN.-CuI the lower end in

centre Of the stump thinner than the other, in or
