c The importanc; of this great subject is ef
"lectually amusing the attention of the liter
ary and scientific men of the country e and
the success already .experienced is drawing
to Attie researches' minds qualified for the
Tabor, and energies equal to its rapid ad
vancement. The progress made is bringing
together the unsettled mind of the country,
and producing-the 'very general , impression
that the time has arrived when the founda
tion-of a new systematical and practical ag-,_
ricultural education should be laid, and the
superstructure commenced.
It is universally conceded that agricul
ture has shared but lightly in the fostering
r care and government patronage which have
been liberally extended to commerce and
manufactures, nor is it believed that addi
tiomtl public expenditure is necessary to en
able the state to do all that can reasonably
' be required of it, to accomplish this great
object. Our educational funds are rich, and
the colleges, academies and common schools
orthe State share liberally in the distribu
tiOn of them, while a normal school, for the
education of teachers, instituted at the seat
of government, is also mainly mainly sup
ported from these funds. These institutions
present the organization, through 'which,
perhaps better. than through any indepen
dent channel, this instruction can be univer- I
sally disseminated among the agricultural I
('population of the State. The annual addi
tions to the sehdol district libraries may be
made with reference to this branch of edu
'cation, and thus place within the read] of
all, the discoveries as the progress, and the
rules of husbandry deduced from them, as
' they shall be settled and given to the public
from the peas of the competent professors
engtigedin - -pursuing the reserches.
-This society, and like associations, may,
through appropriate committees, llen cor
responding secretaries, public spirite coat.:
-- -mercial men, and otherwise, collect and em
' body in their transaction, facts and infOrma
riot) respecting the•markets,-foreign and do- '
• maybe t the present and probable supply of
'agricultural precincts ; the Mode andwanner
of presenting the principal productions= in
1 various markets in the most acceptable form;
-• the *state and Prospects ortrade at botne and
abroad, and the changes present and pros
' pective in the commercial policy of our own
and other countries, with the probable idle- .
ence upon the agricultural market. The
commercial 'and itorictiltural 'press will
-doubtless come powe;ftilly to the aid of the
associations, in all efforts of this character,
and having these great objects in view. .
In this way the foundation may be grad
ually laid, and the materials collected for
the commencement of those agricultural stu
dies, which tithe -and application, with the
constant evidence of their-utility
-in practice,
would-ripen into a system, to be engrafted

Worth-encamped tut San Augustin, on the
Acppulco road, and.-moved down on the 18th
two and a half miles, in front of San ! Anto..
nio, to make riimnifor the other diviSion to
cloie tipon him. The .18th, was devoted to
reccinnowances. San Antonio was situated
sirriilarly.toiMexicalcingo. „ Batteries com
manded the causeway in„frant, and ;swept
aver the marshes . ; to the left ,as far as the
lithe. The pedregal or volcanic rocks, ren
dered the right impassible for everything blit
infantry, and difficult for them. One and
a half miles in the rear were situated the de
fences of Churubuiteci, commanding the ap
proach over the pedregal, and by the way
of Mexiealcingo. „A route lives disciwered
west from San Augustin over the spurs of
the mountain, to the Sauget road, by , which
these positions could .be turned, General
Twiggs' division coming tip on the morning
of the 19th, Was. thrown forward do this
route, to cover the, working' parties formed
fro ni Pillow's division. By 1, P. M., we
had surmounted the hills, and approached
the two divisions of the army, with their field
batteries ike:., within cannon range ofiViden
cia s A entrenchments, situated on the San
Angel road,
,and commanding the only ap
proach -through the pedregal, or volcanic
rocks. - The working parties were returned
to their regiments, the tools packed, and
preparations, made to dislodge the enemy,
before continuing the road further. On ap
proaching his front within canister. Tange,
and driving in his advanced parties,,posted
behind breastworks across the road, with
Megruder's ',and the .howitzer batteries, it
'was found that tha,ground on the left offered
the greatest advantages for the attack. He
lay entrenched on; rising ground, behind a
deep ravine, about, midway between us, to
which the ground gently descended from
both directions. His front was defended by
four 8-inch howitzers, and three lohg 16-
pounders, one 18-pounder, and some .of
smaller calibre. llis right was almost equal
ly strong; and, after crossing the ravine,
approached over smoath ground in the form
of a natural glacis, and taken in reverse by
a body of rancheros and lancers. The heads
of the different diTisions were accordingly
changed to the right; and, each leaving
their horses and :batteries behind,..slowly
wended their way 'among they:olmile rocks,
to the ravine, which they passed in front of
the small village of San- Raymond,, out of
gunshot of Volencitt's batteries. They were.
now on the firm San Angel ro.id, between
Valencia and•relief; but Santa Antra com
ing out to his support with seven thOusand ,
infantry and cavalry, drew up in battle ar
ray on th e hills of Contreras, to o 0 r.,s . iidr.--s
Col. Riley's brigade, that had been'moved
to, the right earlier in the day, to 'Co-oper
ate with a• front attack, and had passed be
yond the Sari Angel road, now falling. back
upon the' village Which we had taken pos.
ession of, Gen. Smith at once determined
to:drive away the fOrce threatening our right.
By the time•his diSpositions were nnole,.'the
sun had set; - and ;night drawing on, it was
feared we should not have light enough for'
the work. The attack was therefore sus
pended until morning. The troops bivouck-,
ed around the village, without food, without
shelter, and without fire. It was afterwards
determined to return to theoriginal intention
of assaulting Valencia's :entretichnie tits, as
theff dispersion of Santa Anna's force-a ected
but little our principal object. -;*
At 3 A. M., Col. Riley Is brigade vas put
in motion, followed by Gen. Snuiles and
Gen. Cadwallader's ; Gcn. Shields holdiny
the village. Dunn, the night, the 9th and
12th regiments, will . ; a compiiny of rifles arid
some detatehments that had been thrown
, out the previous day, were moved to a ra
-1 tine in front of the enemy's position, and, af-
I ter driving in their picquets in the gray of
the morning, filed OIT to the right, and took
a sheltered position on their left, ready to
co-operate with the attacking force, in rear.
; This force moving arouni4. the base of the
hill on which the batters placed, cover
ed from their view and fire, began about
sunrise to show themselves over its crest.--
t
Col. Riley's brigade, sweeping around their
rear and right, moved down with great itn
petuosity, while Gen. Smith attacked their
left from the rear. In the meantime Col.
Ransom, pushing across the ravine the force
; in front, opened bis fire upon their front and
leo. The enemy finding himself thus at
melted, and apprehending the main attack
from the direction in which we approached
the previous day, opened his - heavy battery
on his front. But Riley's brigade, carrying
nil before them, drove them out between. the
tries of Smith and Ransom upon that of
' Shields. 'They broke at all points, abort

Many a flue, saddle was emptied by the dis

on seeing the success of his plans, was load
and vociferous. It must have shaken the
IHalls of Montezuma's." Their enthusiasm
seemed to cheer the Mexican officers in
their captivity._ The army has implicit con
-1 findence in him, and apprehend -nothing
i where lie commands. He sees everything;
and calculates the cost of every measure ;
fled they know and feel that their lives and
labor will, not be uselessly expended. Du
ring the day, we took '2700 prisoners, eight
generals, thirty-seven pieces of arplery, and
ammunition enough fora , whole 'campaign.
Their defences were completely turned, and
their plans upset. We could have entered
Mexico that evening or the next morning,
at our pleasure, so complete was the disor-
Iganization of their army of 32,000 men.—
We learn that 27,000 men were opposed to
us at all points on the 20th, and they ac
knowledge in killed and wounded 5000.
' On the 31st, as the Imlay was in motion to
wards the city, General Scott was met by n
proposition for a ce..;saition of hostilities,. for
1 the purpose. if taking care of the killed and
wounded. This he refused ;but in the Cra
ning agreed to an armistice, to enable com
missioners to meet Mr. Trist, to treat for
peace. This armistice has been officially
ratified. It is difficult to foresee the result;
,hough I can very well see that it is f r San
ta Ainia's — adv*antage to make peace. So
fur I can trust him.
The Lieutentant Johnson killed, was the
nephew of Lieut. Col. Johnson, of the volti
geurs. I was
.standing by him when his
leg was carried off above the knee by a can
non ball. He was a gallant little fellow, and
415 merry over his work all the morning as
a boy at play. He fell by the side of the
glut he had been effectively, serving, and
died that night, the 19;11 instant. The COL
did nut hear of his death until next morn
ing. He was standing in Valencia's cap
tured entrenchments, flushed with the re
cent victory ; his frame shrunk and eluvered
with agony, and 1 wept to witness his arief.
It 1.9 the living for wham we el Id maurii,

service on both days; nor was the engineer
company behind in any undertaking.

The steamship Yacht, Capt. Crime, ar
rived on Tuesday, bringing Texas papers of

A mountain near the Couches river has
been discovered, that consists entirely of,
iron ore. The qunntity of metal which it
contains is probably inexhaustible.
Large-numbers of families have removed
from the Rio Grande to Dexar, in order to.
avoid the oppressive exactions of the punier..
mot guerrilla parties that infest 'all the
Eastern States of Mexico. These families
are treated with great kindness.
The number of Mexican votes that will

in November next, is estimated at abou t .
3,000.
Several thousand sheep have lately been
