The Home Jouandl.-Wenotice this admra-
BILE weekly frequently, and always with pleasure.
Morris & Willis, are really at home now; and
this is universally admitted to be the best paper
they ever edited. We are much pleased to hear
its great success. 1t says something for the
good taste and the good sense of the communi-
ty. The following notice from morning pa
per, conveys our opinion of the merits of the
work precisely:
MoRRls & WILLIS, in their excellent Home
Journal for the present week, have commenced
the publication of another original novelette,.
1t is entitled 'Florette, and is, says MIR. Willis,
Gin that peculiar vein which is born, and not ac
quired'. As this beautiful story will run
through several numbers, the editors have again
been compelled to increase thrir edition " to en-
able new subscribers to begin with the begin
ming" Those who commence taking the
Home Journal with the present impression are
entitled to six parts of bombay & Son in the
book form, with all the engrasngs, grabs.
The fact that the Editors are so frequently
called upon to enlarge their number of copies,
to meet the continually increasing demand for
the work, is gratifying evidence of the high
estimation in which their labors are held by the
reading public, and sure indication that well
conducted family newspaper, healthy in tone and
sound in sentiment las the Home Journal most
certainly isl cannot fail to meet with the success
it SO eminently deserves; but how so ample and
elegant weekly, with all its diversified novel.
ties and attractions. and an Extra once month.

We are indebted to Mr.. Burden, an inteligent
gentleman from Madeira, at present in this CITY,
for some information relating to the famine
which has vexed and is vexng that Island.
He says that for months past, the poor inhab-
itants of Madeira have been in as deplorable a
condition as the suffering Irish.
The Potatoe crop has failed for two wears: and
this calamity, followed by a deficiency in the
supply of Breadstsffs-in consequence of the
rise of prices in this and other countries-has
left the poor there without any of most absolute
necessaries of life to depend upon.
The mother country, Portugal, cond not aid
them, if it would. Immersed in all the evils of
rebellion, and insurrectionary riots, the Govern
ment of that country can hardly maintain itself.
probably will be compelled to call In foreign
assistance.
The Government of the Island has done all in
its power for the needy and destitute; but all
was necessarily little; for the government itself
is poor.
Our ships, speeding across the ocean upon
their errand of mercy to the suffering in Ireland
might leave part of their charitable freight at
Madeira, or vessels could be fitted out for the
exclusive purpose. The Portuguese equally with
the Irish. are our allies; and suffering makes
them equally our brethren.
The high prices of all kinds of breadstufs in
the Island would justify the sending there of
few vessels, loaded with Grain, on speculation:
and persons who cannot afford to make gratui-
tous contributions, might realize a handsome
and by no means censurable profit from the
assistance thus rendered. Tribune.

Latest from Chihuahua.-A kind friond has
favored US with perusal of letter from gen
tleman in Col. Doniphan's regiment, TO his pa
rents in this city, which was brought by spe
cial express sent by Col. Doniphan to Gen.
Tayor's camp at Monterey, and thence to this
cisy. This letter is the first communication of
the important fact that Col. Doniphan has re-
ported to Gen. Taylor. The distance between
Chihuahua and Satillo is ago miles. Col. d.
sent guard of II men who succeeded in rea-
ching Saltillo in safety and communicated with
Gen. Taylor. They left chihuahua on the 20
of March, and arrived at Saltillo in 80 days.
Col. Doniphan had sent DIR. Connolly, an
American citizen of chihuahua, to the Cover
nor who had fled to Durango, proposing to make
a treaty, and suggesting that commissioners be
appointed to agree upon terms. Accordingly
the Mexican commissioners had arrived and en-
tered upon negotiations. Col, Doniphan pro-
poses, that if the people of chihuahua will guar
anty the safety of American residents, and ira
ders in chihuahua, and will hold themselves
aloof from any participation in the war, he will
evacuate the town and proceed on his course.
The Mexicans are favorably inclined to the pro-
posed terms, and it was expected that in few
days the Army would be on Its way to join Gen
Taylor. The Americans who had fled from
chihuahua were fast returning, and business
was rescming its activity.-.N. o. Delta.

WHEAT IN WESTERN New YoRK.-We cut
The following estimate of the produce of wheat
per acre in Monroe County n. Y, from the
Rochester Democrat. We can hardly bring
ourselves to believe that the average yield there
can be anything like twenty fse bushels to the
acre. If SO, taking into consideration the ex-
cellent market afforded at Rochester, Monroe
Co. mus, be perfect paradise for the farmer !;
yet in Michigan we have many emigrants from
that and the adjoining Counties, who, almost
to man, stoutly maintain that N. Y, in the
amount of wheat produced to the acre, has no
advantage over Michigan land here, in sew
eral excellent wheat growing towns, where an
an accurate census has been taken, BY individu-
ais, we do not remember hearing of an average
yield above II bushels per acre. Yet the ag-
gregate quantity of wheat raised is immense,
and considering it in the mass we can hardly
believe the average should be so low.
We do not Affect to believe that Monroe
County produces % or more, bushels of wheat
to the acae. We feel as well assured of it as
we can be OF any matter that, in the absence of
positcre proof, rests upon collateral ecidence.-
If there be 100000 bushels of wheat manu-
iaclured INTO HOur. IN the CITY OF Rochester, and
only 1872, l43 bushels of this be deri sed from
canal and railroad, leaving ,637, S57 to be sup
piled by team, of which, according to the wri-
ter in the American, Monroe supplies but 700,
600 bushels--then our mills must absorb guam
tity over and above the product of Livingston,
and nearly equal to the combined product of
Wayne and Genesee. This we do not believe.
We believe that Monroe produces nearly if
not quite two million bushels of wheat, and that
two-thirds of it is ground in the Rochester mills
the country mills deriving their heaviest sup
plies from the neighboring counties, because in
most cases, they are more conveniently situa-
ted for 50 doing. We believe 25 bushels to the
acre the lowest estimate consistent with truth.
Western New York has, of late, been greatly
moderated, particularly by commercial and ag-
ricultural writers. We frequently see state
ments in the western papers, to the effect that
Rochester is dependent upon the west for sup
plies for her mills: whereas she does not in
fact derive one-fourth of her supplies from that
qvarter We published, in 1916, statement,
made out under the direction ofthe Comptroller,
of the amount of grain received by canal, and
the port from which each cargo was shipped. |
From this it appeared that out of more than !,
100000 bushels eff wheat received, only about
100000 bushels were shipped at Buffalo. The |
rest was western New York wheat, shipped at
intermediate ports.

From the Pittsburgh Gazette.


PRoGREss OF THE ARMY.-We are indebt-
ed to an extra of the Journal for the facts in the
following dispatch, giving news from Vera
Cruz as late as the 29th ult., and several days
later from the command of Gen. Scott.
The last news from the Army gives nforma-
ton of the occupation of Jalapa and Perote by
our troops. Gen. Worth is in command of Pc
rote with seven pieces of cannon. Canalizo
had command of Perote previously, and ADAM
doned it, after spiking the guns, and upon the
approach of Gen. Scott. Jalapa was quietly
surrendered by deputaton of the town, and
before the Army reached the city. Col. Chil1s
is Governor of this post.
Santa Anna passed through Jalapa on his
way from Cerro Gordo. He had with him six
thousand men, the remnant of his defeated Ar
nv. We have no news of his arrival at Mexi-
co. and the probability is that he will not return
for the present. He was reported at Orizaba,
endeavoring to rally the Army, which seemed
to have lost confidence in their Commander.
1t was reported that Santa Anna had been
denounced as a coward by his countryinen at
the Capitol. The Mexcans were preparing
to defend their city, and the Congress 10 remove
its place of meeting. Gen. Scott had sent a
messenger to Congress, acknowledging his
willingness to make peace, but no answer had
Deen received.
The Vera Cruz Chronicle of the 2Sth., says
that a correspondence has been seized by the
Mexican authorities, addressed by great per-
sonage, name is not given, to Senior Rejon, off
ering him certain sum to bring about peace
and declaring a readiness to place means at his
disposal to bring about that result.
Gen. Iaclan, the commandant in Puebla. was
fortifying that place, and determided to defend
Gen. Patterson had nearly recoveren f.....-
his late indisposition. Shields was still living
but his recovery is doubtful.
Santa Annals son is at the head of a nldrau-
ding party, infesting the road between Jalapa
and Vera Cruz
Mr.. Black, late American Consul at Mexico,
after being driven from the Capitol, took ref
uge in Tampico, and is now returning to the
United States,
A proposition wrs introduced to remove the
National Congress to Talpan.
Gen. Taylor was preparing to march on San
Luis. The disbandment of volunteers whoss
term of enlistment was out, was rapidly dimin-
ishing his force. The Regiments from Indiana
Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi and Ar
kansas, were about returning home.

0Erom the temperance of some of our
merchants, whose faces we have missed for a
few weeks past, we infer that an arrival of new
Goods will take place soon.
Keep dark, gentlemen, don't let any body sur
mise what you are about, for fear of alarming
consequences. Only think, a new customer
might be brought into the village, and perhaps,
being pleased with his purchases, might also
try our mechanics. Awful Or, perhaps you
might be under the necessity of sending for a
fresh supply before Fall; and by selling donb-
lie your usual quantity, you might be induced
to sell for two-thirds the usual per cent: that
would naturally bring more customers, and it
is hard to tell where the consequences pould
stop. We begin to be alarmed. Gen Scott is
about to throw down the wall around Vera Cruz,
to let in business and fresh air we wonder if
it could not be obtained to place around Ypsi-
lanti, to avert the dreadful consciousness if our
mercha nts should nj keep dark.
