The following particulars wore obtained from Mr, Collins, who has recently nrrived from Chihnuhua as hrnrerol IXfoiatchcH for thr Ibivernmrnt, nt Washing ton. Santa Cruz de Kona lea in 22 leagues from Chihua* hua, and the result of the battle gave Geu. Price, un disputed possession of the latterplice. * PH** being.t El Pnsso.and learning that Don Angel a riis, Governor of Durango, was ut Chihnuhua, with a ocnsiderahle force endeavoring to incite the Mexicans to attack the Americans, determined to make a forced march upon Chihuahua nnd surprise the town. He accordingly left El Pnsso on the Ist of March with 700 men, nnd made the inarch in theex traordinary short space of seven days, the distance bc \ wig three hundred miles. 1 “As soon n Gen. Price arrived before Chihuahua, and was preparing to attack the place, Governor Tri as got a lunnednml retreated out of tle tow n, with his i whole force. Leaving a small force to occupy Chihua bun. (Jen. Price started in pursuit of Trias, and follow ed him up to the well built and defensible tow r n of San ta Cruz de Rosales. On demanding the surrender of the place,lie was informed by Trias that he could not enter the town, ns a treaty of peace or armistice had been agreed upon between the United States nnd Mex ico. Negotiations then ensued, (Jen Price consenting to wait four days for the return of a special messenger who had been despatched to the Citu of Mexico, for a copy of thealledged treat/or nrmwtice—He was in duced to grant this delay, in order to bring up some of Ins troops, which he had left behind, as the town pre sented a very formidable appearance, being well defen ded with cannon, and a large body of troops. On the 7th day of the negotiations, the express messenger not having returned and Gen. Price being reinforced with more troops and artillery, he began his preparations to attack the town. “ Early on the eighth day after his arrival nt Santa j Cruz, the cannonading commenced, and was kept up jon both sides for some time very briskly. At 12 of that day, Gen. Price arranged his forces to storm the , mace, wh-n a rumor reached him that a force of 900 Inneers were about to attack him in the rear, which caused hi in to draw- off his forces to protect his wag ons. The report turning out to be untrue, the General again advanced against the town in threp divisions, | commanded severally by Cols. Bollc nnd Lane, nnd | Major Walker, who assaulted at three different points. I ‘Fhe town, likeall Mexican towns b ingwell adopted | for defence, the streets being raked by cannon ana the j turrets of the houses covered with the enemy, was able Ito make onite a vigorous resistance. But it was vain, against the indomitable courage nnd energy of our , brave western boys, who pushed on regardless of the constant fire of the enemy’s artillery, and having enter- I ed the town reverted to the plan of operations so suc cessfully employed ot Monterey, of cutting into and through the houses, driving the enemy from the tops. In this way our troops finally succeeded in cooping i l he enemy up in the public Plaza where they were com pletely surrounded, and after a short resistance,surren dered at discretion. Among the prisoners were Gov. ‘Frias and the other official dignitaries, and forty-two officers. Fourteen fine brass pieces, four wall guns, and a large quantity of small arms were captured, and about 100 Mexicans were killed in the action. The loss of the Americans was five killed and twenty woun ded—two of whom afterwards died. The prisoners were all released except the Governor and Staff officers. Gen. Price, the next day after the battle, returned to Chihuahua, leaving Col. Bolles with six companies in charge of Santa Cruz de Rosales. Wh<*n Mr. Collins left Chihuahua everything was quiet there. It’s an Easy Thing. “ It’s an easy thing,” says the sailor to the carpenter, “ to have nothing to ao but just rub that plane of yours, along a hoard all day .', Let the sailor try it, and ns ea sy as it looks, “ he’ll soon find out that he not got to trie nack to make it so very easy. “ It’s an easy thin®,” says the carpenter to the sailor, *■ to sit still on hoard of that vessel and let the wind blow you along.” Let the former try it.and he’ll find night-watches, tricks at the helm, taking in and mak ing sail, not so very easy, to say nothing of gales of w ind, lee shores, stowing cargo, breaking out. and worst of all—shoveling wheat in a hold, or stagering over a deck load of frozen hogs in a squall at night, with all their legs sticking up just where they were not expect ed, and cutting shins and breeches just where you don't like it pretty much,and that is about everywhere It is st) with almost ♦ very thing. No man feels the difficulties of another’s occupation until lie tries it ! Lawyer and doctor, judge and lury, farmer and sailor, i all seem to have ease work to their neighbors, until the | said neighbors try on the iob, and then they give it up. i But there is one kind of w ork that people don’t give up as not easy on the first trial. “ It’s an easy thing,” ; Mr. Most-every-body, “to edit a paper,just to j sit down and write a letter now and then when you feel inclined ; and when you don’t, why jusi to cut out from the newspapers a little here and a little there to till up, and then it’s so pleasant, too, to have nothing to do but just to tumble over so many papers that you get for no thing and that every one else has to pay lor.” To say nothing of the assumption in th.* latter part ot the sentence, that every-body has to pay for their pa pers, which is unfortunately rather wide ol the remark ; the easy part of the business is yet to be discovered by those who have fairly tried the operation. “ Oh, but,'’ soys Mr. Every-body-else, “ 1 have tried it fairly. I used to write a great deal for the “Roilroad ot Republican and Cataract of Freedom,” published nt ; Bellows Fall Windup county. I used to w rite a col umn or so almost every weeK, and point out lots of good thing to extract—more, indeed, than the editor ever got in. I kuow all about it.” Indeed ? But did you ever try it alone ? Did you ever edit a paperfor three or four months, select and reject, write and refuse, measure what you could put in, think what you could not reject, do things that you knew would be unpleasant to many ol your suljscribers,but that you believed ought to be done, and refuse to do what they wanted and thought ought not to *} ono indeed. There is many a man who thinks he knows juat how a paper ought to be edited, could give just the advice wanted, but who w ould in , one hule week,ay, ere his pen’s nib was old, find out | that there were troubles in the editorial life that he had never dreamt of. | It is not the mere writing that makes the Double, even ! Wlth the written portion, but it is the necessity to write I just at the exact time when your writing is wanted, to write uncertain subjects that you p< rhnps don’t wish to touch just then, to write on some you don’t care about at all. In selecting, too, you are not to please your own taste merely, though your own taste must be used even when you are selecting those things that you care not for, but that are liked by others.— Sell must be but little consulted in your paper.—You don't make a paper for your own rending or to your own tate, though by your own taste you must guided in what is tor otlteis, ami you ni'ist, too, uo belter than they could, or they will even under value your labors then But when these difficulties are overcome, you ait* not at the end. There are hundreds of advisers who want you to do hundred* ol things to grauly then angry passion*, that it they are done, will injure your paper, and ensure the contempt of the advisers. No men have to be more careful than editors All their wordsure weighed—and it is right they should Is*—and a slip on their part is never to he forgiven. Men who are denouncing their political enemies in gross.-st lan guage will not forgive an editor for even hinting that tneir friends are not perfect. They can repeat jokes against their enemies, but a joke at their friend* makes them tndignir t at the gross abuse of me pre**. —The men moi violent in their übuse of others, most careless of what severe or even unfounded things they assert, are always the most ready to be bitterly indignant when n word is said against tliem, their principles or tlieir mo tives. Even generalities cannot nans with them. They insist that they know who and what the editor meant, and will not bear such abuse It is not an easy (lung to edit a paper, but it ia an easy thing,and one ul the easiest hi the wmld to abuse a pnpei— tell how outrageously wrong it is, decry ii in every way,and still easier to aay where nis wrong when you are determined it must always be wrong, except when it agrees with you Hue me Adi For Mon Unit Think* | Bitbstary Walker estimates the Cotton crop of ’ the United Slates to be worth seventy-two millions of dollars, which ia putting it at about seven rents a j |K>und This was the price to the planter fiefore me inti-American policy of 1816 was adapted.

A most moving incident in illustration of the extra ordinary strength as well as attachment of the Arabi an horses is given by Lamartine in his beautiful travels ‘ in the East. | “An Arab chief, with his tribe, attacked in the night I a caravan of Damn’s and plundered it, when loaded j with their spoil, however the robbers were overtaken 1 on their return by some horsemen of the Pacha of Acre, I who killed several, and bound the remainder with cords, j in this state of bondage ihey brought one of the prison- i ers named Aboil el March, to Acre, and laid hnn hound \ I hand and foot, wounded as he was, at the entrance of i 1 their tent. I “As they slept during the night. the Arab kept awake i by the pain of his wounds, heard his horse’s neigh at a distance, and being desirous to stroke for the last time | j the companion of his life,he dragged himself hound as , he wns. to the horse, which was picketed at n little dis- j I l J nc '; I‘P<K>r 1 ‘ P<K>r frien( E’ id he, ‘what will you do among j | hp * ur * M ?

If lam to lie a slave, at least may you go tree Go—return to our tent which you know so well; I tell my wife, that Abouel March will return no more ; | but put your head still into the folds of the tent, lick the hands of my beioved children ’ With these words, as his han<is were tied, he untied with his teeth thefet-j ters which held the courser bound, and set him at lib- ; erty ; hut the noble animal, on recovering its freedom, instead of hounding its way to the desert, bent its head over its master, and seeing him in fetters on the ground j took his clothes gently iu his teeth, lifted him up and set offal full speed towards home. Without ever rest ing he made straight for th distant but well known tent in the mountains of Arnhin He arrived in safety, and laid his master down at the feet of his wile and children, and immediately dropped down dead with fatigue The whole tribe mourned him, the poet* celebrated his fidelity, and ins name is still constantly in the mouths of the Arabs of Jericho.” This beautiful an rdote paints the manners and the horses of Arabia, better than a thousand volumes. It is unnecessary to say, after it, that the Arabs are and ever will be the finest horsemen, nndfetvr the finest race of horses in the world.— Child* mend. Metallic Fire-proof Paint.

The twenty millions of pairs made every year in Massachu settsare not sufficient lor the western market ; and we learn from lire Rochester American, that western deal ers are compelled to leave their orders ahead, or go w ithout the articles Many dealers west of the lakes found the market so limited this fall, that they were un able to get their usual supply. ‘1 he Canada tariff of 1846 placed a duty on the American articles at so high a rale, that it amounts to prohibition. The i ankees, however, were not to be outdone by its operation. Messis. Brown &, Childs, of Montreal, have opened an extensive manufactory there, and e , ployed some 400 workmen from Massachusetts. They are now supplying the dealers in the upper and lower provinces.

The number of hands employed in oil the various branches, from the tanner to the finisher of the finest manufacture ol leather, is estimated at 275,000 ; while the wages paid amount to about A‘7,O(H),(XX) sterling, or nearly $34,000,000.

The following recipe for making a cheap paint with out oil, is copied from the American Parmer , publish ed in Baltimore. It was furnished by James Boyle Esq. oi Annapolis, .Maryland. It i* pronounced the very best ever given. To make puiut without white lead or oil, take 2 quarts skimmed milk 2 ounces fresh slocked lime 5 pounds w hiting. Fut the lime into a stoneware v**?sel, pour upon it a sufficient quantity -of milk, to make a mixture, resem bling cream, the remainder of the milk is then to be ad ded ; and lastly the whiting is then to be crumbled and (•pre-nd on tbrmirhoe of the fluid, in wlncli it gradual ly sinks At this fxriod it must be well stirred in or ground, us you wouid other paint, and it is fit for use. 1 here may be added any coloring matter that suits the fancy. It is to be applied in if** same manner as other paint, and in a few hours it will become perfectly dry. Anoth er coot may then he added, and so on, until the work is completed. This paint is of great tenacity, and pos sesses a slight elasticity, which enables it to bear rub bing even with a course woolen cloth, without being in the least degree injured it has little or no srneil even when wet and when dry w perfectly inodorous, it is not subject to be blackened by sulphurous or anunal vapors and is not injurious to health. All which qualities give its decided advantage over while lead. Tht quuntiiy above mentioned is sufficient lor cov erutg xv square yards with one coat. To Preserve Beefsteaks.

Varieties of Beans* Nothing in more important than that the relative vul ue ofnll the most valuable varieties of vegetables, which are commonly cultivated for the table, should be well known ; this is paiticularly important ns regards their comparative ear linen: of the great number of kinds denominated eariy, probably the period of maturity va ries from one to four weeks ; and it will be thus seen how importnnt to the individual who wishes to produce successive crops, is that information which accurately gives their relative ear line*. A few years since, we gave an article of this character upon peas, in which, by a series of experiments, we ascertained their relative earl mess, &lc. I’he same trial we have made the last year with several varieties of the bean, and we are glnd to have the opportunity to present our readers with the details of the experiment which we trust. will ena ble them to select auch varieties as will afford a succes sion crop the whole season. On the 20th of May, 1847, the following eight kinds were planted. The soil in which they were planted was rather heavy and moist,and, in consequence of this,* the sow ing was deferred rather later than usual.

From this table it will be seen, that the China Dwarf and \ ellow Six Weeks are of about equal value as re gards their car linens, hut that the others, with the excep tion of the Mohawk, vary from one to four weeks in the period of their growth for stringing, and something more in the ripening of their crop. The season, last year, was wet and rather cool just after the beans were out of the ground, and, as the soil was rather stiff, they did not come forward so rapidly-as they would have done in a more favorable situation. But tor that, we pre sume the China Dwarf and Yellow Six Week*would have produced pods for stringing in about six weeks. There is considerable difference in the growth and habit of the different varieties above mentioned. The China Dwarl produces its crop at once, and, in a week or two after, the pods are sufficiently full to shell, the whole of them are quite dry, and the vines ready to pull, thus clearing the ground at once tor any other crop The Yellow Six Weeks, o#i the oontruiy, though pro ducing as early as the China Dwarf, ripen their crop gradually, and even when some of the pods are dry, there will be others but just beginning to H>l up. This, too, is the case, in a greater or less de- Sree, with the others, especially the Marrow. The ►war! Horticultural is a tine variety, having all the ex cellence of the running kind, and fully ns awarl as the Cranberry ; it is alse a grent bearer, and ripens in suc cession. It desTves-to find a place in every garden.— The large White Kidney is late, and keeps up the suc cession to the end of tho season The cultivation of bean? is so simple that we need say but little on this point. A light and not too rich a soil suits them best, and the situation should be one not liable to be over-saturated w ith moisture, which often causes mildew. It is not safe to plant too early, for a chilly night or two, just about the time the young plants enieige from the giound, will injure mem. even and the temperature does not fail to the freezing point. ‘lo amateurs who are desirous of an curly crop, and do not mind a little extra labor, the mode of producing them which we advised for Luna Bea sin a previous voiumn.dl. p. 401,) may be recommended ; this ta, to sow the I>eans on inverted soda in an old hot-bed, or in one in which there is not too great a heat• when the plants have put out their first rough leaves.they may he planted out, it all danger of cold ii'ghtsis past, though this is not very safe until the last pari ul May or first of June The sods may then be removed carefully from the bed, and broken to pieces with one, two, or more plants upon each, and, the soil being prepared, they may be set out in rows, placing hsm sufficiently deep to earth up the stems, which will throw out fresh roots.
