AN IMPORTANT ADMISSION!

Some days since We published extracts from
two leading Wing papers in New York, The Cou.
rer and Enquirer and The Commercial Adver-
tser, fully admitting, though at a lale day, the
Justice of the war with Mexico. The Courier
conceded The Rio Grande 10 be The true boundary
OF Texas for il says tive had a perfect right 10
go there whenever we pleased" The Advertiser
spoke plainly when il said, with reference to the
Justice or injustice OF The war, we are Of opinion
that Mexico has not word 10 say" We have
argued from General Tay sleller, that he must
be of The same opinion, Tor otherwise he would
no, have advised The movement TO The Rio
Grande as the means "of fastening and tacilila-
ting a settlement OF the boundary question" The
Administration did no, insist upon more Than was
our RICH, in claiming 10 the Rio Grande, and il
followed The advice of the distinguished officer in
command of the army, in regard TO The policy Of
taking possession OF two or more points upon
that river.
That such was The opinion OF Gen. Taylor,
We are confirmed in our belief by the N. Orleans
National, jealous supporter OF Gen. Taylor
1t Iepublshes The articles from The two Wing pa
pers above alluded 10, and says, "bolh come out
strongly and boldly in defence of their country,
and r,ndieote he js,'nes Of tie Var now waging
by the United States against Mexico" The ed
iior would scarcely have spoken so positively,
were he not assured that old Rough and Ready
held the same sentiments. Yet we daily see
Wing papers quoting GIN. Taylor as sustaining
the cause Of Mexico, and denouncing the just.
ness Of the war.
The New York Mirror, the peculiar organ Of
Gen. Taylor in the Empire State, carries out the
spirit OF the Signal Letter, and, in The name OF ils
hero, continues 10 "rudely reject the embraces" o.
the Wing party. !, contains the following posi-
tive declaration:
The TRisUNE AND GENERAL TAYLoR.-The
Tribune OF this morning says
awe have labsred thus far TO moderate the
warmth of those Wings who say they will op-
pose General Taylor if nominated: We cherish
NO such sentiment. Should Gen. T. De nomina'
ted By National Convention as the Wing can
didale for President, We mean 10 do what we car
10 elect him."
The Wing papers give themselves vast dea
of unnecessary Gouble by continuing 10 discus:

FARMiNe--CoRN CRor.a--In the account Of the
great crops of corn raised in Conway, it was stat
ed, that " thick planting" was material element
in the process which led US TO the results exhibit
ions. Every farmer, il is said has way of his
own in planting corn. Bet then, there must be a
true way in this as in all other things. Experience
largely gathered ought to be the guide. At one Of
the Fairs in this State, within few years, report
was made specifically on this point An extensive
examination was gone into, in order to ascertain
the number Of hills on a rod most likely to give a
large crop. The result arrived at was, that thirty
.fre hills are about the right number for the pur-
pose. The following are the items on which the
the rod and the quantity Of corn raised

SHRINKING AND SWELLING OF MEAT in THE

for cayi; but that the moon is to be praised or
blamed for this agency, we most fully deny. The
true causes Of these changes is found in the man

animal that has been long and well fed until the

Upon the basis oil the experiments, every farmer
can form Judgment, by bringing his own practice
TO the test Of comparison. The result, here ind-
Gated, must necessarily be affected by the mode
and extent Of manuring TO the crop--in word, by
cultivation. Do farmers cultivate the corn crop
thoroughly as they should Are they as diligent
in the preparation Of manure as the interests of
this and all crops required We are persuaded that
by an energetic application Of resources-princi-
pally and almost exclusively labor--an entire revo-
luton might be effected in the business Of produc.
ing from the land and particularly in relation to
the corn CROP certainly the most important of our
crops. On and near almost every farm there is to
be found an abundance of materials for compost,
which require little, aside from labor turn to the
best account.
An experienced and enterprising farmer in the
eastern part Of our State furnishes an example.
which may be cited for instruction. During the
month Of August he commences his heap, gather
ing his materials when at leisure from other neces-
sary concerns, and generally finishing his work
towards the close Of the year. One Of his heaps
was as follows:
As loads of strong manure from the hog yard
II " meadow sods, ifsat, so much the better;
8 " loan, top soil, taken up for road;
5 " lime and hair from tan pits;
6 " decayed chips;
2 " anthracite coal ashes
Is potato vines;
2 4" refuse sizing from mandatory;
2 carcasses;
2hogsheads Of urine from stable tank
10 ofsoap boilers lye
Another eiectual mode is-to dig, early in the
season, pit fifteen feet square and three deep
fill it with sods, peat, mud &c and convey 10 it
all the wash of the house sc. occasionally sprink-
ling il with lime, plaster, ashes, charcoal &C.
keeping al under cover. In the fall, here will be
90 to 20 loads Of the very best manure, made with
but moderate outlay of labor.
These are the ways TO bring up the corn crop
and all other crops. Let all our farmers do some
thing ofthis kind and the result would be har-
vest of glory MOI 10 be approached by thousand
Mexican wars. The glory of one such war is not
TO be compared with that Of raising one Of those
Conway crops 81 corn.
This heap on being thrown over early in the
period stated, was found to be mass Of decompo-
sition, almost throughout. And thus were made
$50 loads Of first rate manure, at an expense oil
about fifty dollars With such manure, more than
double the usual crops may be raised. Other val.
liable materials may be added, or substituted where
any of the above are not 10 be found
The same farmer gives the following directions
for a compost heap. Cover space, 10 by 20 feet
with sods, one foot high; leave this TO the action oil
the sun for month or more then saturate il with
hogshead or two oflye--spread six inches of sta.
BILE manure the top Of this, and ii with DO.
tato vines, chip manure, weeds, or meadow mud
saturate this before with ye next layer of sta.
bic manure. and SO on ill the heap is seven OF
eight feet high.
