SPAIN.

The insurrection in Spain appears to
be finally at an end. General Prim, find
ing that the army did not join him and
the Ptogressistas did not rise, crossed the
frontiers to Portugal, and will take re-
iuge ia Paris. The 6meute has therefore
ended without a battle, and Marshal
O'DonneII is indefinitely stronger than
before. The Spanish public, moreover,
has a new excitement, the papers all
crying loudly for war Il Foutrance with
Chill, which has insuIted the mother
country by the capture of the C0radonga.
The Chilians are called parricides, and
the Government ad jured to lombard Val
paraiso, and take Santiago, and destroy
the CHILEAN fleet, and do other dreadful
things. without reference to the inter
ests either of "shopkeeping England
or Of the United States. Meanwhile, it is
said the Spanish Admiral has great diff
Guilty in provisioning his fleet.
A Madrid letter of the 18th, published
in the MoniteNr, contains the followinc:-
"The military insurrection may now be
considered as terminated. The rebels,
discouraged, scattered, and suffering from
hunger and fatigue, are in full retreat,
and anxious TO find a refuge beyond the
Portuguese frontier. The divisions Of
General Zabala and Echague, with the
troops under Colonel Anca, are pursu-
ing them SO closely that they cannot halt
long enough to rest. Their horses are
consequently knocked up and are left be-
hind. After staying a few hours at Bel
Wade Ia Java, and subsequently at the
Village del Arzobispo, General Prim,
convinced of the impossibility of crossing
the Tagus at the bridges, which are oil
guarded, determined to pass that river at
the ford of Azancort. Every way his
position is very critical. If he remains
in the south, on the left bank, to reach
the defle of San Vicente, leading into
Portugal, he will come in contact with
the troops cautioned at Logrosan, TruiiIlo,
Caceres and Valencia de Alcantara. IF,
on the contrary, he succeeds in crossing
the river, he will be pursued not only by
the flying columns, but also by the forces
stationed at Placentia, Coria, Alcantara
and Gotta, as well as by the numerous
attachments OF gendarmery (guGrdia coil

From the Spectator, January, 27.)
MEXICO.

A great deal of correspondence be-
tween France and America about Mexico
has been published this week, and the
general drift Of it is this. The Govern
ment Of Washington persist in applying
to that Of Paris for the redress Of Mexi-
can grievances, and M. Drouyn de Lhuys
replies that Mexico governs herself, and
the Union must seek redress from Maxi
milan. The French Government would
willingly withdraw its troops, provided
that Mr.. Johnson by recognizing the En-
peror Of Mexico abandOns the idea of
directly attacking the new monarchy.
This condition Mr.. Seward distinctly re-
fuses to accept. 1t seems certain that
Napoleon will withdraw as soon as he
decentIy can, and that the Uuited States
will wait TRANQUILITY till he does.
PARIS, Jan. 20.
The dispatches exchanged between
France and the United States on the SUBJ
iact of Mexico are in conformity with
the declarations made in the Emperor's
speech at the opening of the Corps Legis-
latif, and in the eTpOs6 Of the condition Of
the Empire. A Despatch from NJ. Drouyn
de Lhuys 10 the Marquis de MonthoIon,
dated the 9th Of January, replying TO a
communication from Mr.. Seward, dated tie
10th Of December, after announcing that
this reply had been submitted 10 the En-
peror, expresses the conviction that
"The divergence Of views between the
two Cabinets is the result Of an errone-
Gus appreciation of the intentions of
France"
NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys proceeds TO state
that France seeks the realization of no
ambitious ideas, and says -
"Now that there is a regular Govern
ment in Mexico, the legitimate object of
our expedition will be attained. We are
endeavouring, while satisfying our inter-
ests and our dignity, to make arrange
ments which will enable US to consider
the mission of our army in Mexico as
terminated"
Another despatch of M. Drouyn de Lhuys,
dated January 25 1866, to the French
Minister at Washington, relates o CONVEX
sation of the former with Mr.. Bigelow.
On that occasion M. Drouyn de Lhuys
declined all official controversy upon the
measures taken by the Emperor Maximi-
liam, stating that he could only receive
Mr.. Bigelow's communications on that
subject as simple information. This re-
servation established, the French Minis
ter observed in the course of conversation
that the measures pointed out were of a
purely administrative order, and did not
appear TO him 10 constitute any of those
exceptional ~derogations that might per-

Summnritaiiuns
To the Editor Of the St. CrOix Avis I!
Dear Sir,

Dear Sir,
There is certainly something very alarm
ing after such a calamltous fire not to
hear or see anything done, towards the
forming of an efficient fire brigade except
the attempt the other day to form a volun-
teer brigade, which seems not to have
succeeded, no doubt because not started
by men of more influence in the commu-
nifty.
Now / have heard that his Excellency
the Governor, should in the last meet
ing of the Colonial Council have expressed
his prediction for the volunteer element
to be used in the Brand Corps to the al
most utter exclusion of being used other
wise. In my simple opinion no volun-
teers of any responsibility will offer their
services in this corps unless they could
form a separate division thereof, command
ed by officers of their own choosing, of
course under the command of the chief Of
the corps. If he then can get a proper
chief a good brigade may thus be formed.
Everybody who l have spoken with
have named Captain Holstein as most sui
table for such a post, and the objections
started that it would jar with his other
duties, I cannot admit, as his men are by a
fire, but doing the duties of other firemen,
and if he has more men under him, so
much the better. Should these remarks
have any beneficial result, l shall be most
happy.
Yours, truly,
One interested in the matter.

Sir,
1t may be somewhat strange 10 hear
that the members of the two committees,
appointed at the public meeting which
was held on the 18th inst. at the house of
Mr.. c.. E. Bryan, have not as yet done
anything and it may be said that they
are careless and have been inactive but
/ have authority TO contradict any such
statement should they be made.
Two ofthe members having been obliged
TO go to st. Thomas on important bust
ness of a private character nothing could
properly be entered into. The commit
tees will be both complete next week,
and I think we can then expect to see
them discharging their duties.

agricultural,
Old Orchards.

If there is anything upon farm that
calls forth an anathema on its owner, it
is an old orchard going to decay, and no
young trees to supply the places OF those
about to be consigned to oblivion. Here
in Oneida county we see scores OF such
orchards, that were planted SO years ago.
and now show unmistakable signs of soon
passing into that genealogical bourne,
whence no fruit tree ever returns.
The owners of such orchards generally
profess to be men of ordinary common
sense and some OF them are considered
rather "sharp" in their dealings, saving
every penny that can be secured on honest
principles yet they are SO blind TO their
own interests, to the interest Of their chill
dren--to posterity, as to go down into
their graves with scarcely a sound apple
Tree upon their farms! Such men are not
eon,pos mentis-not ofsound mind, or they
would not throw away the opportunity
TO produce young orchard of good
grated fruit, to come into bearing when
the old one should fail, through age, to
produce its golden harvest.
Farmers of this class, for what do you
live? Is it for wealth? Then why were
the young orchards neglected to be plant
ed, in these days of choice, high priced
fruit Do you live for the enjoyment of
the good things of this world? Then
how could you suffer your families to be
deprived of an ample store of Baldwins,
Greetings, Spitzenburgs, SC ? We tell
you plainly you are lazy, improvldent
class, and only allowed to exist, as tares
among wheat.
A good way to set a young orchard is
to plow up the old one, and plant it to
potatoes, and the next spring set young
trees between the old ones, and keep the
land cultivated for several years, till the
trees get good growth, and when the
old ones cease to bear probably, cut them
down as cumberers OF the ground..-Er.
APPLY MANURE ABUNDANTLY.-A
full supply of manure is perhaps the most
important requisite for comfort and salts
faction at this season of the year. With
plenty of manure, the farmer seems to
have command of the situation, so to
speak. He can do what he wants. Ma
nure will give him crops that will make
the heart rejoice to look at. But don't
try to make it 60 too far. Better manure
one lot thoroughly than half manure the
whole farm. Not that we would treat
one lot to bounriful supply to the neg
lecI of other parts of the farm. Make
your calculation to distribute it as judi
cously as possible, aloting to each piece
all that it needs, not only to carry the
crop, but to manure the land and prepare
it as soon as possible to lay down in a
proper manner, and do not attempt to lay
down piece that is not in suitable con-
dtion. 1t will only have to come up
again all the sooner-.MaSsachnsetts

How To DRY SWEET CoRN.--When
the corn is in good condition for eating,
the grazing being fully grown, boil "a
quantity of ears just enough to cook the
starch, and then let them cool and dry
few hours, and then shell or cut off all the
grains and spread them in the sun till
dried. The best way to dry the corn is
to nail diece of cloth of very open tex
ture on frame, which if two feet wide
and five feet long, will be of convenient
size to handle. 1.-THE corn is spread upon
this cloth it will dry quickly, without
souring. 1t should be covered with
mosquito netting to keep off the flies.

Reasons Why the
AMERICAN WATCH
MADE AT
WALTHAM. MASS.

is TIE BEST.
Ii is made on the best principle. Its frame is
composed Of SOLID PLATES. No jar can inter-
fere with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock can damage its machinery Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Itself
famous for its novelty, MS well as for its eff
fectveness) and is therefore properly made
The watch is what all mechanism should be-
ACCURATE, SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECO
NOMICAL. Except some high grades too cost
" for general use, foreign watches are chiefly
made by women and boys. Such watches are
composed of several hundred pieces, screwed and
riveted together, and require constant repairs to
keep them in any kind Of order. All persons
who have carried ''ancres," 'lepines" and
"English Patent Levers" are perfectly well
aware of the truth Of this statement.
AT the beginning of our enterprise, more than
ten years ago, it was our first object to make
thoroughly good low-prced watch for the mil
lion, to take the place Of these foreign impo-
sitions--the refuse Of foreign tuctories-which
were entirely unsaleable at home and perfectly
worthless everywhere.
How we'll we have accomplished this may be
understood from the fact, that after SO many
years of public trial, we now make MORE THAN
HALF OF THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES, and that no others have
ever given such universal satisfaction. While
this department of our business is continued
with increased facilities for perfect work, We are
at present engaged in the manufacture Of watches
Of the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO
CHRONOMETRY, uncqualled by anything
hitherto made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by
anything made in the world. For this purpose
we have the amplest facilities. We have erect
ed an addition to our main building expressly
for this branch of our business, and have filed it
with the best worknen in our service. New
machines and appliances have been constructed,
which perform their work with consummate deli
cacy and eXactpess. The choicest and most ap-
proved materials only are used, and we challenge
comparison between this grade of our work and
the finest imported chronometers. We do not
pretend to sell our watches for less money than
foreign watches, but we do assert without fear
of contradiction that for the same money our
product is incomparably superior. All our
watches Of whatever grade are fully warranted,
and this warrantee is good at all times against
us or our agents in all parts of the world.
CAuTION.-Thc public are cautioned to buy
only Of respectable dealers. All persons selling
countcrfeits will be prosecuted.
