Our NeighbOr Mexico.

As every reader of the papers may readily judge for himself, our neighbor Mexico, IS in & deplorable state of civil war. In fact the whole country is in cue state of revolution. This does not seem to be divided between two parties or two chiefs, but into many, although the grand ohject of the revolutionists papers to be the rejection of Benito Juarez as President of the republic fer another term of four years, upon the ground "that he has already presided over four teen years-a period len yhtened con- trary to the spirit if not the letter of the constitution, and that he has just se- cured his nominal and illegal reelection by using clements which pertain to the whole nation, and by violently stamping out the rights of free people entitled to free suffrage"
 While the revolutiontists are divide d among themselves as to who will be Juarez' successor there is no doubt of theii unity against the President. It is fact to which attention should be called that the military men POW engaged in this revolution are the anne men-2enerals, colonels and officers of lower grade-who sustained M. Jaurez in the contest ageirst the French intervention and who most distinguished themselves in the engagements which took place be tween the liberal forces and those of the French, Austrians and Imperial Mexl- cans.
 The revolution appears to be general to frightful extent. Armed bands are securing the country, levying contribu- tions and committing outrages of every nature. The whole country is flooded with "proclamations," issued by chiefs of these bands, and our unhappy neigh bor is suffering more severly than ever before. Press gangs are everywhere en. gaged in forcing men into the ''armies, '' and life and property are nowhere safe.

Beyond the clouds 'tis golden day, Soft airs Of heaven about me play, They wait all weariness away. Dear friends see no longer here Are with me I can feel them near; So tendtrly they come to cheer And there in secret life is fed, Till full in flower it lifts the head, With al, it's leaves to heaven outspresd. And by tho peace within my breast: All stormy passions rockt to rest; know that God hath been my guest.

TRIALS OF SUeAR-BEEr. In May lasts, q package of sugar-beet was sent from Germany to the editor of the Tribune, It was divided in half-pound parcels, and sent to ten different States for trial.
 Edward Poole of East Stroudsbourg, PeM,., was one of the experimenters, and he has sent box of h1s beets, with 0 statement of the soil, cultivation, and yield. The field was a gravelly loam, in Q region where blue limestone is com m,n, strong soil quite well dressed with stable manure, and three bushels of wool ashes. They grew to thu average size of about three inches across the top. and tho yield was at the rate of 200 bushels per acre. Some of them have been sent to the Agricultural College of New Jersey for analysis. the object being to learn the percentage of sugar.
 Mir. Wells of Connecticut, MT. Elder of Ohio, MT. Daws of New Jersey, and other farmers to whom seed was sent, are requested to report as to soil, cul- ture, maturing, size, yield, and if they will send O small package for analysis so the relative amount of sugar can be known, the experiments may result in some advantage. The problem is to find out what parts of the country will grow, not the biggest, but the sweetest beets. AN IGNORANT Doa.-An old farmer went out one day looking over his broad acres, with an ax on his shoulder aud q small dog at his heels. They espied a wooEchuck. The dog gave chase and drove him into stone wall, where ac- tion immediately commenced. The dog would draw the woodchuck partly out from the wall, and the woodchuck would take the dog back. The old farmers sympathy getting high on the side of the dog, he thought he must help him. So. putting himself in position, with az above the dog, he waited for the attrac- ton of the woodchuck, when he would cut him down. So an opportunity offer cred, and the old man struck, but tht woodchuck gathered up at the same time took the dog in far enough to receive the blow, and the dog was killed on th' spot. Forty years after, the old man, il relating the story, would always add

THE NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.

The attention of the whole country seems
now to be directed to the North Carolina elec-
tion, which will take place on Thursday next.
Importance is attached to the election from
the fact that it is the first one to occur after
the Inauguration of the Presidential cam
paign, and additional interest is manifested
by the people of the State in consequence of
the apparent disinterested manner in which
they are instructed by distinguished politi-
clans of both parties from abroad-including
members of Grants Cabinet-who have come
all the way to North Carolina for the pur-
pose of enlightening them as to the best and
surest way to save the country in this her
supposed hour of peril.
What the effect of this will be, or as to
how the State will vote, can at this time be
only conjecture. Of course, the representa-
tives and mouth-pieces of both parties claim
equally the most fattering chances of success.
Boutwell,, on his return to Washington, after
making two speeches in the State, reports
that the Republicans will carry the election
by from 10000 to $4,000 majority, while the
Democracy profess to be equally sanguine.
The one party has the money-the other the
eloquence; but whether Radical dollars will
outweigh Democratic rhetoric is yet to be

on which the genuine notes are printed has
been initiated by scratchy lines engraved on
the counterfeit plate. On examination with
a glass, it will be seen that the entire work
differs from the genuine.
