ARMY OF THE RESTORATION OF LIBERTY.
Camp near Perig,ino, ApfiI 80, 1854

/
EXCELLENT SIR: With the greatest satisfac-
ton, have the honor to communicate to you
that, with the brigade under my command, de-
feated on the morning of this day the rear Of
the division of General Santa Anna, capturing
the greater part Of his convoy, and killing in
the action some persons Of high rank.
There still remains force of one thousand
men in Vente del Perigrno, surrounded by the
section under the command Of Colonel Don
incarnation Alvarez, who has kept continual
fire on the enemy for more than two hours,
and which, should they remain, intend to at
tack with my brigade, which will be joined with
the section under the command of Colonel
Ojendis.
As am before the enemy, and when the
conflict which is to take place tomorrow is
over, / shall furnish your excellency with
minute account of the same, as also that of
this day. God and libertyl
THos. MORENO.
From private letter we extract the follow.
ing, which we add to the foregoing official bul.
letin: " At a quarter to ii o clock this morning,
we came up with the rear of the enemy. After
the firing had ceased in the Perigrino, and
which we heard little further up the Hugua
Hedlsendo, and after an hour and half's hard
fghting, we drove the enemy from the advan

SO much so, that they ran most shamefully,
leaving In our possession one hundred and forty
pack mules, a large number Of horses and arms,
a lot OF clothing, provisions, and other articles,
which will be of great service and benefit to
our troops"

THE PREss.-The St. Joseph Gazette states
that u memorial has been forwarded to Wash
ington, petioning Government for permission to
establish newspaper at Fort Leavenworth the
designated capital Of the new territory of Kansas.
4 coincident fact is the establishment of smart
daily newspaper at st. Paul, Minnesota, where
a territorial government has only been organized
two or three years, and where several weekly
papers are now printed. 1t is thus that the pen
and the axe go together on peaceful mission
of conquest in the Western wilds, as the pen
and the sword disturbed the stagnant ideas of
the Mexieans during the late war with Mexico.
Americans cannot live beyond the shadow Of a
printing press.

How TO MAKE HENS DO THEIR DUTY-The
b.npiest DAYS in our virtuous life have been
snen, in the country. There's where We
fastened virtue on Us, drove in the nails and
cinched them on the inside, to make sure
thing of it. This virtue is great thing
and among other good effects, it leads US to
40 all the good we can to assist our fellows
10 the fruits of our experience. The follow.
ing may be serviceable to our farmer
friends:
One day, in our youth, while on the mag
nifcent farm of Mrs Nancy Smalleye, we
watched her struggling with a fractions
hen biddy, which she had seized by the legs,
and was resolutey bearing from the hen
roost. The screams of the fowl were truly
awful and she spread her feathers some, and
INDUCED in sundry fierce pecks at the
under-pinnings of Mrs. Smalleye, evidently
dissatisfied with the undigni6ed mode of
her conveyance.
"What are you going to do with her %
asked we; "going to have a stew for
dinnerw
"a stew! No, child" was the answer.
"Fetch me a tub from the shed, and I'll
show YOU"
The tub was speedily brought.
"Turn it upside-down," said she.
We did as we were bid, wondering what
was to be done with the biddy.
Immediately Mrs. Smalleye clapped the
enraged hen under the tub, and with a
triumphant voice exclaimed, "There now,
stay there you pesky critter. I'll have it
out of you to-day, or You shan't have
mouthful of whites"
"Have what out of herr" inquired we, in
a petfect cloud Of innocent uns0phlstlcatl-
city.
THE egg, of course" said she.
"Why, you can't make hen lay an egg,
can yous"
aPoor child!w said Mrs. Smalleye, with
uplifted eyes and a compassionate smile
upon our ignorance. "You don't know how
do it. You see, dear Willie, hens will get
lazy like other folks, and shirk their duty
and don't lay. as if we could afford to keep
them for nothing. Some folks will put up
with it; but I won't; won't be imposed
upon by no hen-no, indeed. know their
eggs, and can tell as sure as ever was, who
does lay and who don't. Them that lays, |
let have their liberty, and 60 around and
pick andscratch and court the ROSTERS and
tantalize each other, and do just about what
they please But them that don't, alters
put under the tub. The handles, you see,
dear, have just crack enoug b for them to see
the other hens, enjoying themselves-and
it's aggravating enough, | know. Some
times they're mighty stubborn, and won't
give in; but eventually they come to their
milk: as the saying is, and lay an egg-and
then lie, 'em out. This hen is the contra
REST hen I've ever seen. don't much
expect to get an egg out Of her before four
o'clock! But its got to come out. Yes,
iudeedw
Luckily for the hen, it did "come out "
in the course of an hour, and she was libe-
rated, and went off cack!ing proudly,
evidently cheered by the pleasing con-
seriousness of having done her duty.

WASHING A LITTLE SwEARER's MoUTH-The
California Christian Advertiser says: ''An in
telligent lady of our acquaintance, whose little
boy was beginning this strange talk, anxious to
express to her child her horror of profanity,
hit the novel process Of washing out his mouth
with soap suds whenever he swore. 1t was an
efeetual cure. The boy understood his mother s
sense of the corruption of an oath, and the taste
Of suds, which together produced the desired
result. We can heartily commend this ingenuity
of the mother. She is about as famous for in
ventions, in our eyes, as those steam gods Watt
