DONpUAN'S MARCH.

L AoRDINARY INLAND CITY.
The New Orleans National, in its sketch
of Col Doniphan's late remarkable cxpedi-
lion, gives tue following.
About the time Colonel Doniphan made
his treaty with the Navalos, division of
his command was entirely out of provisions,
and the Navalos supplied its wants With
llbcrality. A portion of the command re-
turned to Cuvano. Major Gilpin's COM
mand, together with Col. Doniphan, went
to the city of the Suma Indians living on
the Rio Piscow, which is supposed to be
branch of the Geyla, made treaty CT peace
between the Sumas and Navaios, and then
returned to the Rio del Norte
These Sumais, unlike the Navaios, live
i'll city, containing, probably, six thousand
inhabitants, who support themselves entire
ly by agriculture.
The city is one Of the most eXtraordina-
~ in the world. 1t is divided into four sol
i'll sqrares, having bat two streets CROSSING
It's centre at right angles. All the buildings
are two stories high, composed of sun-burnt
brick. The first story presents a solid wall
to the street, and is so constructed that each
house Joins, until one-l0urth of the city may
be said to be one building. The second sto-
ries rise from this vast solid structure, 50 as
TO designate each house, leaving room TO
walk upon the roof of the first story between
each building. The inhabitants of Sumai
enter the second story of their buildings by
ladders, which they draw up at night rs
defence against any enemy that might be
prowling about. In this city was seen some
Alblno Indians, who have, no doubt, given
rise to the story that there is living in the
Rocky Mountains tribe Of white aborlgines.
The discovery Of this city OF the Sumai will
afford the most curious spcculallons among
those who have SO long searched i'll vain for
city of the Indians who possessed the
manners and habits of the Aztecs. NO
doubt, we have here race living as did that
people when Cortez entered Mexico. 1t IS
a remarkable fact that the Sumalans have,
since the Spaniards left the country, refused
to have any intercourse with the modern
McXicans, looking upon them as an inferior
people. They have also driven from among
them the priests and other dignllaries, who
formerly had power over them, and rcsum-
ed habits and manners of their Own, thci:
Great Chief, or Governor, being the civil
and RELIGIOUS head The country round the
city Of Sumai is cultivated with great dca!
of care, and affords food not only for the III
habitants, but for large hocks OF cattle and
sheep.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

There are some things that farmers should
know.
1t is an error to plant seeds from a State
further south. In cold season only the
seed from a cold climate will ripcn well.
Often breaking up a surface keeps sol.
in health: for when it lies III hard bound
state, cnriching showers run oil, and the s1-
lubrous air cannot enter.
Weed, exhaust the strength Of the ground
ard if suffered to grow may be called gar
den sins.
The hand and the hoe are the instruTnea.s
for eradicating weeds; yet If there Is room
between the rows for the spade, II IS vel
to use it.
Never keep your cattle short; few farm
ers can afford it. If you starvc them they
viii starvc you.
Il will not do to hoe great field for z
little crop, or to NOV 30 acres for FIVE loads
Of hav. Enrich the land and il viii pay
YOU for it. Better farm thirty acres well,
than fifty acrcs By halves.
In dry pastures dig for water on the brow
of hill; springs are more frequently near
the surface on height than in vale.
Rain is cash to farmer.
The foot Of the owner is the best manure
for land.
Gut bushes that YOU wish TO destroy in
the Summer, and with sharp instrument,
they will bleed freely and die.
Never plough in bad weather, or when
the ground is very wet.
Accounts should be kept, detailing the ex-
penses and product Of each field.
When an implement is no longer wanted
for the season, lay it carefully aside, but
first let it be well cleaned.
Obtain good seed, prepare your ground
well, sow early, and pay very illle atlen
tiou 10 the moon.
