Galveston Courier, "from intelligence
received lately by the sloop Phenix, from
Corpus Christi bay, that there has been
no serious collision between Arista (Ceh.
tralist) and Canales. Federal.) AT the
latest accounts Canales was making rapid
marches from town to town, in the direc-
ton of Tampico, and exery place he vi-
sited declaring in favor of the Constitu-
ton of 1924 and joining in his cause" "
The presidents message gives aatter-
ing account Of the growth Of the young
republic, in population and resources
The harvest have been abundant, and ag-
riculture is extending itself in every dr.
rec,ion, promising rich rewards to tine
toll Of The husbandman, and giving ear
nest of the future importance and power
Of the republic.
The government, as well as the people,
have experienced great embarrassmenis
and unsleadiness Of their currency. The
loan commissioners had not yet been able
to effect sale of bonds. One Of them
was at the Hague, for the double purpose
of procuring the recognition of Texas
upon the part of Holland and opening a
treaty for loan with the bankers of that
country.
The President depreca.es a war with
Mexico, as calculated still further to en-
barrass the commissioners in negotiating
loan, and as involving the nation in
great distress, on account Of its Pecun'a-
~ difficulties: for which reasons he re-
commends further attempt 10 reconcile
the mother country by negotiation.
The commissioners to run the bounda-
ry line between Texas and the United
States, hau been compelled to suspend
opera,ions for want of means.
The President had kept the navy aHoat
because he had reason to believe that
Mexico was having built in some foreign
port, a steam ship, and other vesseels of
war, for the purpose of harrassing the
commerce of Texas.

in any attempt to initiate prices by stlmula'

under such circumstances will only pro-
tract the present uncertainty of affairs,
and will eyentuate inevitably in another

The prospect Of resumption on the
part Of the Philadelphia banks is becom-
ing daily less probable-the merchantile
c community, both here and at the east
ward, have no confidence in the stability
of the resumption, brought about by the
means proposed. All that the merchants
of this city want is steady currency, OF
one, the position OF which they under
stand and can provide against its contin-
cies. The resumption will indeed make
the currency uniform, but merchants have
already been twice deceived in the Nor
thern banks. Twice they have sold i'm
ported goods and manufactures to large
amount in the South and Southwest, ta-
king notes payable in the currency of
those sections, and running the risk Of the
exchange. in full confidence of the sta
bilty Of the banks. Twice has this con.
6dence been abused. If the currency
again becomes uniform by means of re-
sumption based upon borrowing opera
lions, it is in vain to suppose that mer-
chants will again run the risk of being
again robbed Uhe expression is not too
strong,) by the incapacity of the banks
to maintain their position. The banks Of
this city will take the risk Of Southern
collections on the faith of Philadelphia
honesty. If the banks do resume, the
rule for mercantile paper must be short

Southern insolvent banks will gain no.
thing by such a state of things. They

PRor1T OF MANURE.-We understand

PRor1r OF MANuRE.-We understand
that a respectable planter Of an adjoining
district formerly planted $50 acres in cot
ton. and never was able to md ke more
than fifty bales. He determined to ma.
nurc; and to enable him to make trial,
he planted 10 acres less, that is lao acres.
From these with the manure he was able
to make, he gathered 81 bales. "A small
gain, but il was a gain. The next year
hepian,ed 13C acres, and manured a little
more, with still small increase OF crop.
The pas! season he planted only 120 acres,
sill increasing the application ofmanure,
and made 6s bales. He is confident that if
the season had been good, he would have
made rs bales; or an increase of 30 per
cent, rom merely lcsseniog the quantity
of land planted to enable him to manure.
His intention is, next year TO plant only
100 acres. and he will doubtless increase
his crop in much greater proportion than
he lessons the land in cultivation Ii he
woud now, proceeding as cautiously as
he has done thus far, gradually introduce
the culture of roots, or grass, or both, to
enable him to enlarge his stock of cattle,
he might derive from the increased quan.
tiiy Of manure profit that would COM
pcnsatc him for the labor, whilst the ad-
ditionsl cattle would be clear gain.
