The Jacelligencer publishes a translation of 2 Costa Rican proclamation announcing the termination of the filibuster war in Nicaragua, the points of which it sums upas follows. Viz: “President Mora, of Costa Rica, has issued a roclamation announcing the close of the war and a oclaring that there are no longer any filibusters in Nicaragua. He advises, however, that the people remain armed, so as to meet the future confidence wit! ; and invokes their generosit: their good citizenship, and spontaneous contr! z earned their pay.’*? tion ‘those braves who haveso heroically The Union urges Congress to give efficient military protection to the overland mail to Cali- fornia, and publishes @ communication to the same end, which recommends a mounted force for the purpose, to be modeled after the plan of the French Zouaves. It strikes us that the plan arged in Congress, if we remember correctly, two or three years ago, will prove quite as efficient and far less ex- pensive. That is, to accord to whoever may eontract for the transportation of the overland mail the right of preemption toa considerable body of land—say three or foursections—around each of their stations or starting places, which must necessarily be located within some thirty miles of each other, on condition that they cause them to be settled up in a given time. A set- tlement of a dozen American families every thirty miles along the route, and the constant passing and repassing of the immense stream of emigration and returning parties that will ne- cessarily seek the route for protce io—which will be so great that every emigrant party will constantly be in sight of others in advance of and behind it—will form the best conceivable protection from the savages throughout the whole route.

There are men who, though they will not enter the regular service, will at any moment shoulder the rifle and accord more effectual protection than the whole infantry of the army cyuld afford under similar cireumstances One or two com- panies or battalions of dragoons (regulars) to act as patrols, passing constantly over the route, or acting where their presence may be particular- ly needed for the time being, will complete a system of protection for the route which we be- lieve will cost the treasury not a tithe of the expense of any other plan conceivable, and at the same time afford far more security to the contractors and emigration than by any other plan we have so far seen explained in print. ———————+2 NOTES BY THE WAY. (Bditorial Correspondence of The Star.) STEAMING ON THE ROAD—PENNED BY STEAM. Juxx 6, 1857. I closed my last while “speculating” (that’s the term in the West,) over the want of water in this vast prairie, over which the locomotive is drawing me, which by the by extends with few intervals of timber and broken ground the whole length of this vast State. Just now their cattle look admirably; for all the water-holes are full, and the spring grass has not com- menced to wither under the scorching rays of the summer sun. In twomonths, however, all the cattle of four-fifths of all the farmers on the line of this road must necessarily depend on being watered from wells; as they (the cattle) must be thus provided for since the prairie is chequered with fences in all directions. Ten years ago cattle were marked and branded, and turned loose here, to be penned only twice a year, as twenty years ago through- out all Texas. No fences then prevented them from getting to water and grass wherever they knew well both were to be had. Now, every man must keep his stock on his own land for the most part, and must provide water for them throughout the droughts of summer; al- ways much more severely felt on the prairie than any where else. Here they resort to wells. Yet I have not so far seen what seemed to me to be a sufficient supply of wells fora farm destitute of any other facilities fur obtain- ing water. That is, fur such stocks as such farms should keep. Labor and the expendi- ture of mgney is evidently avoided for any and every thing but raising crops of wheat and corn. Families. cultivating perhaps five hundred acres of this so fruitful soil, live in shanties costing probably not over two hundred dollars, the price of the “‘ cullings” out of which most of them are knocked up being perhaps $25 per thousand at the spot where the shanty is raised. Not a tree casts shade over one inten of them. and their out-buildings with few exceptions, are almost as mush bebind their shanty dwellings, in comfort fur stock, as their shanty dwellings are behind the houses in which farmers live, east of the Alleghanies. Under such circumstances I am not surprised that one does not see a good well in every field of the Illinois farm not on runoing water, as there should he; though I hear that throughout the State a fair supply of water is obtainable at from ten to thirty feet from the earth’s surface. In no other country in the world will windmills answer so uniform- ly and surely for power with which to raise water. Thus, for at most $100, (or a dollar per zere,)can anample supply be raised for any number of cattle a hundred sere field of this delta will graze at any season of the year. One dollar per acre as an investment fora sure and ample supply of this necessary, with, at most, six cents per acre per annum tokeepit up, isa mere bagatelle I must do these peo- pie the justice to write, that after getting in their firstcrop and fencing it. they nearly all of them seek to planf the beginning of an orchard and a few shade trees. If they will next turn their attention to well-digging and wind-mill building they will perform an act of substantial philanthropy towards their cattle, and will, at bss gape insuring for themselves hea- vier profits Saw @ great many Michi, “ breaking up’ ploughs at work ioe: fu tka first time. They are large skimming machines, to cut off the surface to a depth of from one and a half to two inches, and a width of twenty inches, and then to turn it bottom upwards with great regularity. Five yoke of heavy omen are required to drag one, and its execution ig from three to four acres a day, depending on the in- dustry and skill of the driver, the strength of the team, de. One hand only is required, who drives. A small truck on wheels at the end of the beam, geared so as to regn- late the depth and direction of the furrow (or rather shaving) does away with neces- sity for a man to hold the handle, as in all other Ploughs. It is certainly the most valuable im- plement conceivable for the country in which it is used, answering its purpose perfectly. These implements cost an average of $35, and their proprietors charge $3 per acre (for the Services of driver, five yoke of oxen, and tho plough.) As their use is required but once on any prairie soil, few farmers keep them at home. They are geared intentionally to shave off the thinest slice of soil that will hold together to be turned over regularly, because the Prairie grass roots lie all very near the surface and will not fot in a single season, unless exposed to the sun, sir and rains without considerable covering of soil. After being once broken up, these prairies are as cultivable with an ordinary two-horse plough as light land east of the Alleganies that bas known the plough for a century.
