pay or two since we announced that His Serene
Highness Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana had fed
from Mexico, signed hs abdication at Perote, and
arrived in Vera Cruz just in time to catch the boat
for Havana where he will spend some time enjoy.
ing the sweets Of classic retirement and the refined
amusements of the cockpit and montetable.
Santa Anna Is most remarkable military hero.
He never had parallel in history; and as his name
Is in the United States as familiar In the mouth az
household words" we have compiled brief sketch
Of his career.
Antonio Lopez, afterwards called de Santa Ana,
was born at Vera Cruz about 1870. Little is known
Of his ancestry, and he may he called a self-made
man. He joined the Spanish service In 1912, and
early distinguished himself; in 1891 he held the rank
Of Lieutenant Colonel. AT about this time General
Iturbide proclaimed the plan Of "Iguala," and
Santa Ana joined his party lie commanded the
cavalry at the battle Of Cordova, and afterwards
took Vera Cruz, where he was appointed military
Governor. The Spanish forces retreated into the
castle Of San Juan d'Ulloa, and ultimately went
home.
Itnrbide assumed the imperial purple, and Santa
Ana, reasoning that, as he had conquered the Empe

A USEFUL MIssIoN-A great many Of our re-
representatives. abroad have been Of the lightest
kind Of timber, and it seems to have been the
ambition of all our politicians who have been
nuisances at home, to secure few years Of ig-
noble ease by getting place on the diplomatic
or consular staff. As an offset to this purely
ornamental class of persons, we perceive that
Mr.. Browne, the manager of the agricultural
division Of the Patent Ohice, will sail for Eu-
rope in the steamer Of the 18th September. Mr.
Browne viii bring back large number of
seeds, and will endeavor to introduce the sea
cane, which protects the shores of scaboard
places from the unwclcomc visits Of Neptune.
Ii is very useful in Holland.
Mr. Brownies mission is very useful one,
and he deserves credit for his devotion 10 ag-
ricu.tural science 1t is singular fact that
nearly every seed that has been brought here
and we have had them from all parts of the
world--has fourished. The only exception to
this rule that we are aware Of is the case of the
Japan bean. which would not positively grow
either in city or country. The Japanese did
not give their seed rice to the officers of the
American squadron, which fully accounts for
the fact that nothing has been done for that
Our country contains SO many varieties of eli
mate and topography that We can raise any
thing that grows in any part of the world. So
we say success to Mr.. Browne His department
is a most important one and we trust that Con-
gress will be liberal in granting appropriations
for its support.

GOSSIP IN POLITICAL CIRCLEs-PR0BABLE ACTION
or THE SOFT SHELL sTArR CONVENTIONS.
ALBANY, Aug. "a, 1855.
The political circles Of this city full Of reia
tive the probable action OF the Soft Shell Democratic
Convention which Ia called TO meet at Syracuse on We'd
ncsday next
There is no doubt that majority Of the convention Is
in favor Of fusion with the hards and is stated
that the hard platform viii be adopted IN toto, aud that
several persons that ticket will be taken up by the
softs including Messrs Seden and Willard for Judges of
the Court Of Appeals and Mr. Cole for State Engineer
II this course should be adopted the convention may
split the rock many Of the delegates from the
rural districts will not endorse the Nebraska BILL 1t
only by great oratorical effort the part OF John
Cochrane that the half way endorsement was carried
through last year. The leaders Of the republican con-
yention are helping along this disaaection among
the softs, and will promise the outsiders the
nomination Of william C. Bryant, editor Of the
New York Ereng Post secretary of State, and DAVID
Dudley Field Attorney General This is probably all
humbug but st they may make the country people be-
ieve It until after Wednesday.
II is further said here that State matters were lost
sight Of the late hard convention and that the whole
affair was contest between the friends of Dickinson and
Buchanan rival candidates for the Presidency. The
Dickinson men, largely in the majority, bitterly OPP
posed to fusion and beat the ten Buchananes all out o.
the field.
