FROM THE BT. LOUIS Osississon) ENQUIRER, OCT. 19.
Corros.—Since we have taken notice of the growth
of this article in ibis State. we have received accounts
from various places which prove that it grows well both
in this State and Illinois, even as far north as the 46th
degree of latitude. Crops are now growing in the Sal.
River country, a degree and a half above St. Louis, on
the Illinois river as high up as Fort Clark, and on the
Wabash above Vinceuues. At Boonslick it is raised in
quantity. We'llear of one farmer who is gathering a
crop 0123,0601b5. and another is gathering 12,000, and
a large proportion of the farmers are making enough
for their own use, and some to spar*. Many parcels of
homegrown cotton are now advertised in the St. Louis
market for sale.—(PAiloitelphia National Gareue,)
SANTA Ft ExrEntztows.—it is not erne as published
some weeks ago, that Col. Cooper's party were robbed
by the Indians on their way to Santa Fe. Bin's."( and
the greater part of his company have retnrned, having
successfully accomplished the objects of their journey,
which were entirely commercial. They drove three
loaded waggons from Boons-lick into the town of Santa
Fe: a novel spectacle to the Spaniards of that place:
and truly characteristic of the spirit of the western
people. They say they bad no difficulty in getting along
with these waggons, the country being open and level and
abounding with grass for their horaes.Fifteen years ago,
Baron Humboldt said that carriages would one day tun
from the city of Mexico to Philadelphia : his prediction
is accomplished, bet not exactly in the way that he ex.
petted. In return for their meta:iodise, Col. Cooper's
party brought back specie and POlllO hundred mules,
having lost five or six dozen of these animals by getting
dispersed by a herd of buffalos.
While at Santa Fe the American character displayed
another of its traits: an expedition was going against
the Catnancle Indians; it was a chance not to be lost;
anti several of Col. Cooper's vonng men joined it. In
the action which followed, all fighting to the admiration
of the Spaniards, ono of them (a son of Uel. Coopteii)
was killed.
The party report that they met with the hest treatment
foie the people of Santa Fe, who shrived great desire
for a commercial intercourse with Missouri, and enquired
for Mr. Baird, formerly thrir prisoner, who had engaged
to return with merchandise. [Mr. B. left this place
about a month ago with a caravan of sixty pack home]
These things comp..l the reflecting mind to pause and
reflect upon the wonderful advagtages of our country'
Two years ago this paper laboured to prove that Mis
sand would have a commerce with the people of New
Mexico for their silver, with the Indians of the Rocky
Mountain* for their furs, and with China and Spain for
the rich productions of the East Indies. Stich sugges-
tions were treated by many as chimerical. In site mean
while the two first are accomplished, and the third nill
accomplish itself in the same way : that it ro Pay, by the
bold and silent enterrize oftlie West, while the learned
prejudiceof the East is ifgning that the thing is impost!
