On the second. bottoms or high prawi 'es as they are called, the soil is a darklor4 y: clay, and it' Its strong and fertile as the low , r groands. . Some yel-* low gravelly sand. is found high up the.river;, but it embraces but +mall proportionof the valley. The ability ,of the soil fo produak is best'ascertained b ennsitlerini the crops which are annuallypaken fronitheland.— Under the present sy c stem of cultivation; the; average amount of iwheat` taken - :from - the English acre, is, froth . twenty-five.-- to thirty bushels. The amount of labor required to accomplish this, is comparativelyAritling.— The writer has foratrly resided in the great. wheat growing country of Genesee, in the state of New York and understalds the amount of labor n<cessary to raise a thou sand bushels of whetlifin that country ; and' from. observations i Oregon, be has. been brought to the con clusion; that it requires much less labor to'rtii'se it thousand bushels in-the latter countiy, -than it does in any wt Of Genesee Fla. The prairies of the Wallamette . and 'otter valleys are unlike any thing that can he found in any other country. They arelnatur Ily very' mellow, and-appear as one is passi g over ; them, as though it had been tout a . ear or two since they were cultivated. T ey are swarded over with a thick -turf, as in the Western States, but they chn lel. easily ploughed with one good pair 4f horSes, and with once ploughing are readto receive the heed, and seldom fail even with the'first crop, bounti fully to reward the liusbandman. The firsterop, hOwever, is never so_good as the succeeding oyes . ft isnot an uncom mon thing for fanners, without using any extraordinary men* to take from fifty to sixty bushels of wtteat ft‘oni an acre, and this has been the siveragie through entire fields. Doubtless, if fatmets 'wield take more pains in cultivating he land, they would re alize much more from the acre than they do now; but, if thfrlosii any thing in this respect, they gain iiirecprimknt in the im mense nuniberof ases they nitivate. The amount of English grain raised by the differ ent farmers in the cpuntty varies from 50 to .300 acres each. As wheat never suffers from Night, and al there are no insects to trouble it, a good chop is as sure to reward the husbandman who sows his seed,' as day and night tocontin uil until harvest time. This certainty-of a good 4ropr is owing as much to the nature of the 41irnaie, as to the quality of the soil. Some ;other crops are not so! certain. Potatoes frequently suffer from drought, as also Inclian corn. But the soil and climate are well adaped to raising mel ons, cucumbers, liters, Cabbages, and all kinds of garden vegOtablesl Apples, peaches, .and all kinds of fruits which abound in ri New York, floush* far as they have been - eultivated,.'and willsoon become abundant. The soil of the niidclle region differs ma terially front that of the high country. It bears one gen eralj chanicter, and consists •of a yellow sandy cltiy. it It produces in great abu nd'ance a kind Of blineh grass, as also a variety of sm all shiebbery, and the prickly pear.

The City of Mexico Pronounced for Santa Anna—tParedes Deserted by his Troops. Correspondence of the Phil. Ledger. WASHINGTON, Aug. 1846. Official information has been received in the Navy Department from Commodore Conner,hat the city of Mexico has pro nounced IQ r Santa Anna. Paredes had left at the head of a; small army, for the army at the North, but his troops deserted, and he and Gendr at Bravo were left without a tail, and their 'leads were never yeti' formidable. A few stragglers are all that have remained faithful td, their arms. The Vera Cruz pa pers are all peace,, and it is supposed that Santa Anpa himself even feels disposed to treat. It is now a very fortunate circumstance that Mr. Ouch anau s despatches have not reached lera Cruz before; they will now be addressed to the Secretary of - Foreigh Af fairs under Santa -Anna. The ill wind which prevented the Captain of the United States vessel from reaching her destined port sooner, blew somebody some. good. News from the Santa Fe Expedition: An express, as we learn froni a St. Louis paper of the 21st inst., from Gen. Kearney's camp, at Bent's Fort, arrived at Fort Lea venworth!on the 14th Aligust. The express left Gen. "Kearney on the Illth of July.— General !!,Kearney, with his command, set out from !cent's Fort for Santa Fe on the is day August. The troops were all in e cellentthealth and spirits-L-there had been but one ideath. A general stampede took place among the horses two days before the exprqss left, and at the time of his leav ing, oho:it fifty horses, chiefly belonging to volunteer's, were missing, and it was feared they woidd not be recovered. This will op erate severely on those who have lost their horses, fdr in the event of their not recover ing themi they will have to travel on foot- A short time-before the express left, Captain Moore, 1f the U. S. Dragooni, captured three spies, who had been sent out from Santa Fe to ascertain the_charantor_ arty's!. ux Lae united ascertain torce. After their purpose isms ascertained, by the orders of General Kearney, they were shown all over army, and after they had seen every thing, they were dismissed and permitted to return to Santa "'e. From these men, and also from other sources, it has been ascertained satisfactdrily, that there would be no resist ance made to Gen. Kearney's taking posses sion of Santa Fe. In fact, it is said, the Mexicans were anxiously awaiting the arri val of the army, believing that it would fur nish then a harvest in the way of trade, and protectiok from the troublesotne Indians in their vicinity. There were no troops at Santa Fe, nor in the upper provinces, and none weie expected. Gov. Amijo had is sued a proclamation, that the existing hos tilities bqtween the United States trod 'Mex ico will not interrupt the trade between the U. State's and Santa Fe ; that in all respects it shall be conducted as if the -war did not . exist. This of itself is a sufficient indica tion thatiGov. Armijo does not intend to of fer resistknce to Gen. Kearney. It is said that Get). Kearney will stop at Santa - Fe until Oil. Price's regiment arrives there : that,_upiin-their arrival, that regiment, Or a portion of it, will be - left to occupy Santa Fe and cithen important points in the vicini ly, and Gen. Kearney, with the residue of the force, will proceed immediately to Cali fornia. ',The five hundred Mormon infantry, under tile command of Lieut. Col. Allen, were peogressing rapidly. They made thirty-eight miles in two days. It was be lieved they would reach Bent's Fort nearly as soon as Col. Price's regiment, and quite as soon s the purpose of their enlistment required; A great many traders and a very large amount of goods are going out. They are scattered all along therouje. The road is repres l ented as in. splendid -condition.— There *re a number of traders, we believe all but those whom Capt. 'Moore failed to , overtake', at Bent's Fort, and would move on to Sa'nt'a Fe with the army. They are quite discouraged , with the prospect before them.lhey will arrive several months later th they anticipated,land the prospect , of trade )s by no means flattering after they reach thkre.

HeOes as his reason for calling out the "posse crditatus," that his life would he endangered were he . to enter Nauvoo without protection. There is every prospect, 'says another I paper, of fthther difficulties between the Mormons arid the anti-Mormons in Hancock county. The ankles are reported to'be organizing a large pty in the vicinity of Green Plains, about similes back of Warsaw. They have al taken out writs fora number of Mormons who nre in and about Nauvoo. The at tetopt to serve those writs will, we suppose, be the. signal for attack. The large Mor men vote cast in Nanvoo - at the last election has convinced the anti-Mormons that there .are more Mormons in and about Nauvoo than was previously represented. These they wjll endeavor to drive ourof the coun try. The Mormon's, or rather the citizens of Nauvoo, are anticipating at attack, and are organizing the citizens into armed com panies and preparing for resistance. The time in which the Mormons stipulated to leave the State having expired, and there being but few, if any, leaving at this time, the matter will soon be brought to an issue. —4. N. Y. News.
