Chr. Cent. Coin Mexico. Tlie news from Mexico to the 8th inst., represents the rebellion as still nncrushed. The Government has gained advantages in the State of Uticrrara, but the larger half of the States of Ptiebla and Vera Cruz were in the hands of tlie 1 'evolutionists. Domiiigurzar, the 1 tevolutiotmry Commander, was iu the State of Vera Crux It is gen erally believed that Gov. Felix Diaz, whose body was brought to Pachulta on the 23d ult., was assassinated. Juarez is gradually increasing his powers into a Dic tatorship. It is reported, says the telegram, that lie has applied to President Grant for assistance, and that Grant replied that he would support Juarez as a last alterna tive. The number of revolutionists now iu the field is estimated at 30, 000, the largest ever in arms. The bulk of the federal forces are con centrating in Gunaguato and in the Capital. Tlie revolutionists have captured Aquaz. A plan is proposed for Juarez to retire or resign and permit Mejia, his Minis ter of War, to assume the Presi dency. A largo force of revolu tionists was marching on Guada lajara, and consternation prevailed there. Small pox is pronounced an epi demic at Ediuburg. wr with urtmt Britain.

Many ot the articles of pro duction, the surplus of which now finds its way into European mark ets, such as corn, cotton and wheat, would accumulate on producers' hands, and prices be affected accord ingly. It is true our privateers would sweep tlie seas, and English commerce would suffer nearly, if not quite, as much as our own ; but privateers could not protect our norts fivnn' blockade bv English I o men-of-war our coast commerce from entire destruction. Oregon, for example, would have to detend our overland transportation, as no shipments could be made safely from Portland to San Francisco, or vice vena. The influence of such a war, then, from a financial stand point, would Ire evil and that con tinually, increasing the burdens of taxation and interrupting the pro gress of public improvements. Such a war, however, would prove most injurious to those ideas of progress ive thought and civilization, which are now at work among na tions, moulding intelligence and fra terirty. The United States ami Great Britain arc nearly allied in thought, language, sympathy and interest, and rank first in tlie march of progressive civilization. Their example is most potent upon the destinies of other nations. War is always demoralizing, being the out growth of passion. England is a powerful nation iu war, so is the United States. The courage and fierceness of the two peoples will increase with the resistance, and the contest will become most sanguin ary and bloody, developing a thirst for blood and revenge in pro portion as this prevails. In this ratio, too, will deterioration iu the march of civilization be experienced. We would not countenance peace at the expense of our national honor; but let there be prudence, delibera tion, wisdom, justice; these four ex ercised, then if war comes, we will not be iu the wrong.

Severe Storm. This winter has Ireen prolific in severe storms in different parts of tlie country. On Tuesday of last week a terrible storm visited Iowa, in the region of .Sioux City. The weather at six o'clock in the after noon was mild and pleasant, when,1 without a moment's warning, a storm came on which raged with great fury. Tlie wind blew a hurricane, prostrating the telegraph wires in every direction, and doing damage to buildings. The ther mometer fell forty degrees in two hours, the weather becoming very cold. All the trains on the wes tern division of the Illinois Central were snowed iu, and it was feared that the suffering and loss of life would exceed that caused by any previous storm. Mr. Samuel Elban was known to have frozen to death on his way home iu the storm. Other deaths were reported. At last accounts tho weather stood eighteen degrees below zero.

I am In clined to think that in our climate, and for ordinary farm management, these grade sheep will prove more profita ble than the pure long-wooled sheep. Tho latter require better treatment than many farmers arc willing to be stow. If they were prepared to give the reqnsite feed and care, no sheep, where money is iu demand, would pay so well. But they certainly will not bear neglect as well as Merinos. This is true of all good stock, it is a truth which farmers need to know and feel and act upon. These grade Cols-wold-Meri no sheep requtrc better treat ment than Merinos, but nothing that any tanner can not readily bestow without changing his rotation or man agement, it is easy to produce such heavy lambs, if the ewes are fed well during the whiter and spring.
