EROA1 TEXAS.

The New Orleans Bulletin Of 4th inst.
contains the following news from Texas.
BY the steam packet Cuba, from Gal
weston, we are in receipt of The Houston
Telegraph of tho 9th ultimo. 1t men
tions the arrival at Houston of several
Mexican traders from MatamoraS. They
state thai the Federalist army before lhac
place had recently received large REIN
forcemen,s from the upper settlements of
the Rio Grande, aud number of pieces
of artillery from Tampico. A severe bat
tie had recently heen fought near thai city,
in which according to the statements of
the Federal party, 300 Cenraists were
killed.. and only Is Federalists. Felisola,
il is said, had left the city, and gone OIL
board of one Of the vessels of the Frencf,
squadron. On the 2lsi instant, at Hous
ton, public dinner was given in honor
to Gen. Hamilton. He addressed his hos
pltahe entertainers in long and eloquent
speech, and closed with complimentary
toast to Texas. We learn that General
Hamilton and Ex-Gov. Butler, of South
Carolina, and Joseph Nj. White, of Flori-
da, have filed their declarations recording
their intention 10 become citizens of Texas.
The Telegraph describes the Western
counties of Texas as III condition re-.
markably hourishing. Between the Qua
dalonpe and Colorado, new farms arc
opened in every direction, and hundreds
of enlerprisius emigrants are constantly
arriving, AMI adding new confidence and
energy to the settlers in that quarer,--
The settlements were extending several
miles above Gonzales. and such was the
confidence of The people in that section
thar they were making locations high up
the 81. Marks. in region that only few
months ago was entirely deserted or ac-
count Of the Indians.

the farmer wishes TO change his crop, may
be seen from The fact, thar with the use Of
a plough. The trees on this section ofland,
1890 in number, were turned out Of the
ground in 30 minutes. An hour more was
sufficient to cart them from the ground.
Every one who has taken up the cul-
ture Of silk, is surprised at the ease and
certainty with which it is produced; and
of this experiment it may he observed,
that none Of The persons who took care of
The trees, gathered the leaves or fed the
worms, had ever seen tree or silk worm
before.
l am not acquainted with the compare
tive merits of the Morus Mulricauls, and
other kinds of the mulberry; hut large as
has been the estimate of some culliyalors,
OF The produce and value of the former,
believe its astonishing power of re-produ-
cling foliage, its tenacity of life, and the
great ease with which it is multiplied,
have never been overraled. A friend in
forms ne that field of roofs. deprived of
their tops last fall, remained in the ground
during winter, and that from the new
shoots, which started as early as any 9TH
er vegetation, he was able to feed from
one 10 Two months earlier than from 9th
ers planted the following May. From
these collected facts, we may form an idea
OF the quantity Of leaves, and the conse
quent weight of silk that may be obtained
from the Morus Mullicaulis, when il shall
Fave attained greater age, evens in this
latitude.
am not able to name the cost ofraising
silk; hut an intelligent cul'urisl Of my ac-
quaintance, from a proof of three succes-
sive years, rates it at 50 per b. exclusive
OF The cost of The trees and the ilIage; res
pectins the latter, am of opinion the la
hor bestowed on field of mulberry, need
not be more than field of Indian corn.
1t appears, therefore, that nearly all the
labor of raising silk, viz. pIucking the
leaves, feeding the worms, and reeline it
into servings, may be performed by the fe-
males OF family, and thus he product be
considered clear gain, like that of amy
other collateral branch of farming. The
growing of silk needs but to be look d into.
to be appreciated; and if lU0 ponnds can
be produced the first year Of planting,
worth SIS, The pound in raw silk, or So,
when in servings, what other crop, it may
be asked, can be named coming near it
for profit!
| will only add, gentlemen, that it is
cheering to see The interest the American
Institute ha, taken in his all important
subject, and 10 express the hope, thai the
coming exhibition, from our silk growers.
aud the increased patronage of the Ius!i-
,utc. may give 10 it a fresh interest.

PoTAToE Soar FOR WASHING was
discovered by French chemist many
years ago, that potatoes only three parts
boiled, make better soap for washing, than
the Troublesome. caustic, and expensive
article usually made use of by our wash
women. They make the clothes cleaner
and without any injury. Let me give you
the result Of the experience of my family
which is a large hiie.
The soilcd clothes are first soaked in
tub Of clean water about an hour. They
are then transferred to copper Of hot wa
ter; from which they are taken piece by
piece. to be thoroughly rubbed with the
potatoes, the same as with soap. The
whole thus prepared, after having been
well rubbed, rolled and ruug, are second
time plunged into the copper, together
with quantity of potatoes ia the above.
After boiling for about half an hour. the
linen or cloths are again taken out-turn.
cd, thoroughly rubbed well over. and
wrung. and afterwards again thrown into
The copper for some minutes. The clothes
are then well rinsed in clean cold water,
and hung up 10 dry; the whole process oc-
cupying TWO hours and hall.
The linen thus washed, is perfectly
clean. the kitchen garments free from all
grease, and perfectly sweet. though in the
old way they usually retain greasy smell.

STATE lNDEDrEDNEss.-The large a.
mount of debt owing by several of tho
States in Europe. usually denominared the
permanent debt, in contradiction to the
commercial debt, will be likely to prove
more embarrassing to the people of,he U.
States than is generally supposed. The
principle of the debt amounts now to
somewhere about l70 millions of dollars
the annual payment ofthe interest may
not press Oh the available resources of the
States 10 any injurious extent. But as the
period approaches for the discharge of the
principal, the redemption will become
serious matter. The loans have general
ly to run ahou ten years from the period
OF negotiation. Should the payments OF
any considerable portion of the principal
fall due about the same period in several
OF the States, extensive private bankrupt
cies must he the consequence. The alb

and produce lrightful revrllsions. 1t is
lime for The States to discontinue this
system of borrowing on scale so gigantic.
Many OF The amounts have been obtained
for Internal Improvements. About 100
millions are duo in bunds for this objecl..-.
The period is too short for which they
have been borrowed to realize advantages

vestments, and the misfortune is, so init
mate is the chain of pecuniary depend
ence between the States, that thnse who
have prudently avoided plunging into this
abyss will be drawn into the vortex. in

ted the most largely in the system.
