soared-rolling upon the aerial current
and flushing back the suns beams from its
surface, until il had assembled, as we sup.
pose, a quarter of mile above the earth.
II then bore away about N. E. prescrv wing

of an hour; visible only when from its
posi,ion, as il revolved in the air, the beams
of the sun we're reflected from its surface,

The official report of Gen. Salas, who was
second in command at Coutreras, and who is
now prisoner, has been published in Next
co. He admits that his defeat was total, but
as usual lays the blame on some of his brother
officers. He says that on the afternoon of the
1sth-th's ecas whae no one uas returning
their fre)-the Mexicans fought with uncom.
mon vaIor and enthusiasm, but that early on
the morning of the Goth of August, they were
suddenly surrounded and at once thrown into
confusion, and in the end utterly routed. Sa-
las says that at the outset of the disorder he
shouted L" Victory for Mexico ordered the
trumpets to sound, and directed Gen. Iorre]on
to charge with his lancers; but according to
the same account that officer fled in the most
cowardly manner. the infantry got mixed up
with the cavalry and also fed, and the rout of
all was complete and most disastrous. Salas
saws that Gen. Valencia ran off at the COM
mencement of the fight, that he does not know
what has become of him, and for this reason
has felt himself called upon to make report

To the Farmers.

1t cannot be doubted that the large surplus of
breadstuffs, which a bountiful Providence be-
slowed upon US the past year, will be drained
off before another harvest, to supply the great
deficiency in Ireland and other parts of Eurpe, &
in view of 1t would it not be wise, not only to
to increase your usual Spring planting of corn
oats sc. but wherever the location will suit to
put in also spring crops of wheat and rye. The
writer knows that such crops will do well in
many parts of Pennsy lvania, doubtless also in
Chic, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri-better it
is presumed, in Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, North Carolina, SC.
Let no one say that this suggestion is unne-
cessary-that to morroao sviH be as this day 9.
much more abundant. Suppose the coming
harvest should be a short one III I'VE have no
right to presume it will be plentiful I'VE have
every reason to believe that there will be less
portion of the last crop left in the country than
usual. The increased spring sowing and plant
ing, might come in aid of the partial failure that
may occur from the last falls sowing.
If we consider, besides, the possibility of an
other short crop in Europe, the inducement fer
forecast and preparation greatly increased
At this very moment every species of food sho' d

SANGUINARY BATTLE.
The Americans Victorious |!
ANOTHER SHIPWRECK !!

Tampico dates of the 10th, have been receiv-
ed at New Orleans with int lllgence of the loss
of the ship Ondiakia, about thirty miles south
of Tampico, having on board the I'd regiment OF
PENNSYLVANIA volunteers under Col. DE Rassy.
The troops and crew got safe on shore, and have
since arrived at Tampico, except the Capt. OF
the ship. 1t is not known that he left the ship
at all. Iii said but not believed, that part OF
the volunteers fell into the hands of the MexI-
cans. On hearing of the loss of the o., the
steamer Undine, with the 8th company of the
Sd artillery was despatched from Tampico to
render assistance. The U. had not returned,
Blu. it was rumored that this company was cut
off by body of 500 of the enemys cavalry, and
another rumor is, that the Mexicans attacked
the volunteers after landing. and that this led to
dispersal of our forces, and a force march to
Tampico. These rumors are doubted, as they
come through different channels. Two ships
were off Tampico with 600 troops on board.
A report had been received at Tampico by a
commercial house of fierce encounter at Chi
huahua, between superior force of Mexicans,
and portion of Gen. Kearney's command. m
der Gen. Price, and it is said long anu san
culinary battle was fought,n which the strength
on both sides is said to have been very great,
surprising in numbers any that has yet been
| fought. Ultimately the Americans were victo-
rious, and took possession of the town. Letters
received at N. Orleans also mention battle
near Chihuahua, and partially confirming the
news received, which is entitled to more credit
than Mexican news hitherto put in circulation.
Rumors had reached Tampico, understood to
have come from the squadron, that commissions
ers had been sent from Mexico to arrange the
difficulties between the two governments.
| 1t was supposed that Gen. Scott would not
be eeady to leave Tampico under two or three
weeks.
Orders were received at Tampco, on the 9th
inst, supposed to be from Gen. Scott, to ge
all the wagons in readiness. The Quartz
Master was very busy, and the wagons at hanC
were sufficient to transport the baggage ant
provisions of the entire force at Tampico.-

Burning of the Steamer National

THIS steamer was burned on last Saturday
night, near the mouth of the Kentucky river
She was OH her voyage, we understand, from
Evansvll to this city, with full cargo, one
item of which was 100 tons of Pork in Salt
The fire originated in the hold, said to have
been from a candle left burning in the hold
After it was discovered, she was kept running
for about four miles, but finally landed on the
Kentucky side, soon after which. all attempts
to extinguish 1t having failed, she was scnttled
and sunk, but not before her upper works were
burned of. The boat was commanded by Capt
WIN. Dean. is owned principally in this city,
and is partly, if not wholly insured.
Whether any of the cargo was insured we
do rot know-the Pork alluded to above, was
not. 1t belonged to gentlemen in Wheeling.
A few hhds of it on deck, were saved. TO
what extent the remainder of the cage was i'll
iured, we have not ascertaned.
This case recalls to mind an expedlient which
we suggested to our steamboat man last year,
viz: having scape pipe by which the steam
could be turned into the hold at any time. In
case of fire, the matches being battered down
and the steam turned in, it would be an intense
confagration to withstand being smothered.-
This is no experiment. 1t has been tried. We
cited case in which this expedient was resor-
ted to with speedy and perfect success, on the
Mississippi river. 1t is cheap safeguard which
underwriters should insist on having applied to
every boat they insure.-PiHsburg Oh Garette.
