 ROASTING EARS. Thursday last, We were cooked. primcd and ready Co take shot at our farmers Tor not bringing roasting ears to town, when our anger was appeased by the arrival of plenty of it from Round Valley and the Lower Agua Frio.

Animals could not pack enough shoes to last them month, and without shoes they : could not travel over the rocks for more than a week.

Criticadcu is bigger "cod G-h" than Devin. and ii may ease the minds Of the military growlcrs to inform them that Gen. Deyiu made that trip agans. his inclination. in obed ianee to pcremp. tory orders from Gen. Criuenden. We are no apologist for the military. and believe they might have done better in the past but growing at them is not likely to make them moro energetic.
