NEW YORK Bay IN HOLIDAY DREss-AQuA-
TIC SPoRr.-lf the weather is propitious, our
lovely bay will present an appearance to-day
seldom excelled. Without any preconcerted
plan this day has been selected for a great va
riety OF aquatic displays
AT nine O'Clock AM, a feet of yachts start
down the bay, the occasion being the annual
regatta OF the New York yacht club The team
boat Eureka will start from the foot of arsrlay
street, the above-menti oned hour. The steame. IS
G. Vanderbilt and Oregon start for their trial OF
speed up the North River at ten O'Clock; the new
iron steamer Magdelene makes her trial trim at
half-past one O'Clock; the new and elegant ocean
steamer Washington starts on her first VOYAGE
at half-past two o'clock PM, and, wind per-
hitting, the packet ships Switzerland, for Lon
don, Oxford for Liverpool, and st. Nicolas for
Havre, will give their canvass to the breeze. Be-
sides all these, the transient ships st. George,
and Cornelia, for Liverpool, the Angelique, for
Amsterdam, and the Clifton, for New Orleans,
will start out and help to make up the magnif-
cent picture In the midst of all, the steamer
Southerner will probably arrive, as she has al
ways been punctual, and this is her day to come
in.
In addition to these departures and arrivals,
there are host of smaller craft that go out, and
the proud steamers upon the rivers and sound,
will arrive and take their departures usual,
while the ferry boats to Bulls Ferry, Fort Lee,
Hoboken, Jersey City, Staten Island, Fort
Hamilton, the four Brooklyn ferries, Will
liamsburgh and Astoria, will keep up their regi-
lar trips like water police, and hundreds of gay
pleasure boats will fit from point to point by aid
of oar and sail.
We shall have such day as will do aquatics
good, if the winds and clouds are but inclined to
favor the various enterprises which combine to
give interest to the occasion

THE GREAT BATTLE OF THE AGE.
The Steamship Washington.
&c. &c. &c.

The first American mail steamship, the Wash
ington, Capt. Hewitt will sail at half-past two
O'Clock this afternoon for Southampton and Bre-
men. She carries the American mail, which
will close at the Post Office at one o'clock.
This magnificent steamer has astonished and
delighted every one, and we are gratifed to learn
that she, yesterday, had one hundred and twen-
ty-fve passengers engaged.
We shall publish the second edition of the
Herald for Europe at IL o'clock this morning, to
60 in her mail bags; and persons desirous of send
ing that paper to Europe can obtain single copies,
in wrappers, at sixpence each
1t will contain theloffcial dispatches, which
are given in this days Ne,c York Herald, of the
gallant officers who nobly sustained the credit
of their country on the battle field of Buena
Vista, and struck terror into the hearts of the
Mexican hosts. They are written by Gen. Wool,
Gen. Lane, Capt Bragg, Col. May, Col. Mar
shall, Lieut.. Shower, Capt. .O'Brien, &C., &C.,
and form a complete history of the most impor-
tant engagement that has thus far taken place in
the Mexican war.
After reading these documents carefully
through, our friends will turn to the engraving
of the battle field the other side of the Herald,
which forms key to the whole, and they will
soldiers against the overwhelming thousands Of
the enemy.
At first sight it appears that the American army
is locked in completely, and cannot escape from
the enemy. But the indomitabe bravery of our
soldiers, and their unAinching irmness; together
with their unerring and deadly artillery and rifles,
soon put another phase on the matter, and the
position Of the naughty Mexican general, and
his defeated army can be imagined.
1t is well known that Santa Anna was for
weeks and months making preparations, such as
he thought could not fail in turning the tide of
fortune, and achieving victory that would re-
fleet lustre on his nation and on himself. But
his hopes were disappointed; instead of achiev-
ing victory. he was glad to save himself from
total humiliation by retreat.
Our readers had better preserve this engraving
for future reference. They can, years hence,
point their children to this memorable field, and
the exact spot where Captain Bragg was directed
by General Taylor to give the enemy " little
more grape" and the positions taken by the
several regiments of the two armies.
We have not room for the complimentary
notices of the several officers who took part in
that days struggle. We do not, however, con-
slider it necessary to insert them, because every
one appreciates their skill and gallantry.

The Growing Crops.

We have made it our business to read, care
fully, the accounts OF the growing crops through
out the country, since the opening of spring, and
we have arrived at the conclusion that the pros
pect of the husbandman of reaping a good har-
vest is decidedly good. To be sure, the lateness
and GOODNESS of the season, and the hail storms 8,
have, in some places, destroyed the young cot
ton and tobacco plants but the ground which
these occupied has been generally re-planted
with corn, or something else equally as good
for the sustsnance of man.
In the west and southwest, the prospect of
an abundant yield was never better; and, if the
weather be propitious, that prolific part Of the
country will give an unlimited yield
The immense drain upon this country for food
for the past year, and the prospective demand for
the surplus Of this years harvest stimulated
many of our citizens, who never made two
blades grow where but one grew, to leave their
regular business and embark in agriculture
This, with the fact that our farmers have planted
on larger scale than they ever did, will give the
world an insight into the immense agricultural
resources of the United States.
We shall continue to watch the progress of the
crops, and record from day to day their advance
to maturity. 1t is the most important and inte-
resting intelligence that We can present to our
readers.

The REPORTED DEFEAT OF Col. DoNIpHAN-
We were informed yesterday by telegraph that
the force under Col. Doniphan had been attacked
at the pass of the Sierra Gordon, about half way
between Saltillo and chihuahua, by Mexican
force from Durango, under General Rieso, and
defeated, with the loss of seven men.and all his
artillery.
Although it ought not, perhaps, be expected
that our forces will be victorious every where,
and on every occasion, yet we cannot credit this
report. We very much mistake Col. Doniphan's
characterland the mettle of his men, if he would
surrender to any force, no matter how powerful
it was, without fighting; for, to assume the re.
port to be true it must be assumed also there was
no fight-no American officer could be defeated,
and at the same time lose all his artillery and
only seven men.
The thing is preposterous, and we cannot
believe IL
