Tho RevoIutiS1 In Mexico.

i'll HH HEr &
The States of chihuahua, Coahiuls, New
Leon and Tamaulipas seem 10 be in open
rebellion against the Federal government Of
Mexico. We know not what are their griev-
ances, or where the movement will end,
but need no ghost 10 tell us that nothing less
than a radical, sweeping change can save
the Mexican nation from dissolution. o.
pressed with debt foreign and domestic,
without a revenue, with an overgrown
Church, a rich, selfish, f~ac,ious landed aris.
tocracy, and an ignsrant, imbscile p~epulaes,
the Mexican nation seems TO be III the last
stage Of decay, and on the point Of dissolu.
tion. And if it should fall into fragments,
each of them will become an independent
State, in. continual war with eli i,s neighbors.
Such has been the fate of oil the resi- of
Spanish America excepting Chill, ever since
its separation from Spain, Paraguay, Peru,
Terra Firma, Central America, divided into
petty States, alternately ruled by different
factions are types of what Mexico is des.
tined 70 be, a, least for a time, upon the ex-
of its Federal Government. IL il
cannot be united again, the Northern States
will be Isranized, or absorbed BY our con.
federacy; and this once effected, the re-
mainder will follow their example, till 'man.
ilested destiny covers the whole. We
have always predicted this and during the
war, distinctly and frequently ex-
a wish for its accomplishment, If i,
could be done gradually, and by jus,iiable
means. But We have no wish TO accelerate
by lawless, p%iratical inyasions, involving
violation of treaties. .oa

Such returns as have been received we

Ploughing by Steam.

Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, an opulent
and practical culiivator of the Grimsihorpe
Estate, near Bourne, England, has recently
made sevefal most successful experiments
in opening and pulverizing the soil by an
engine. A writer in the London News, de-
them, says that steam-ploughing is
now no longer a problem. The field selec.
ted for the last experiment. had grown q
whea, crop, and was Of good tillable soil
The engine was placed on a movable train
road at The end of the field. By way of
testing the relative powers, the plough, q
double one, with reversed shares and coul-
tiers, was drawn in one direction by horses,
and contrarily by Team The horses, four
very powerful animals, had much labor to
drag the implement, and that only at "a slow
pace whilst the engine, of 26 horse power,
hurried il back as fast as a man could fairly
walk 10 conduct the plough. After several
shouts, /" subsoil plough was attached to a
gage Of nine and afterwards twelve inches.
This additional burden, which the horses
could not possibly have drawn, evidently
steadied and improved the motion, and left
the work in a most satisfactory manner.
Harrows were afterwards appended with an
equally pleasing result. The ploughing took
place across old land, which showed in
some places considerable dips. Two en-
gines placed parallel at each end Of the
field would. without difficulty, with only a
double plough, complete four acres of land
in ten hours, and, if required, suSsoil i, too.
The relative expense of ploughing "a acres
of land is given as follows, by horse 60 12s,
BY steam &c ies. By steam power the
twenty-four acres would be completed in a
week, 1t would require at least ten horses
to plough it in the same period.-Lsdgo.

The foreign papers Of the latest dates
give the following account of a tragedy
brought on by morbid French romance
"a commercial traveller, whose business
frequently called him from Orleans 10 Paris,
NJ. Edmund D., was accustomed 10 20
to an hotel with the landlord of which he
was acquainted. He arrived a few days
ago at The hotel where he was in the habit
of staying. On Thursday evening, after
supper, he invited the people or tho hotel 10
go 10 his chamber to take coffee, and he
promised to tell a Tale full Of dram atic incl
dent. On entering the room his guests saw
on the bed, near which he seated himself,
a pair Of pistols. MY story said he, has a
sad denouement, and I require the pistols to
make it clearly understood AS he had al
ways been accustomed, in telling his tales,
to indulge in expressive pantomine, And to
take up anything which lay handy %calcula-
ted 10 add 10 the effect, no surprise was fell
at his having prepared pistols. He began

young man. They had both, he said, prom

long absence. While he was away, he re.

himself berore her, he learned that, in com
pliance with The wishes of her family, she
had just married a wealthy merchant. The
young mau thereupon took a terrible resolu'
ton. HE purchased a pair of pistols like
