DEAR BENNETT
Yours is the most extraordinary paper in the uni
verse. 1t knows and publishes every thing IN ad
vance of all other papers. We think we get Texas
news first. but we had hardly finished reading ou
cracked paper the Bulletin" last tuesday, wher
your spirit came over US, and announces the inva
SION OF the Mexcans. twelve days IN advance al.
though we say we had just received II the night
before. II this is not necromancy or witchcraft,
don't know what Is and take care you are not
burnt for it yet. San Antonio, with her lawyers
and mdges, is certainly taken, and no joke. But
Houston is out with his troops, and will make an
other San Jaclnto affair OF the Mexlcans. So pre-
pare to announce victory
This is "a great city for newspapers. We are
about to have another called the " Tropic," with
the flag of Harry of the West flying at the mast
head. The fnanciers have hitched their boat to
her and abandoned the poor Bulletin"
Alas, for the shade OF Yorke (now in France); it
is pity that he is not here to join the ranks OF those
who once welded the destinies of the Merchants
Exchange and Atchafalaya Banks. He certainly
has shown more delicacy of feeling than the rest,
who are determined to brew beat the community
and rampe the laws under their feet II Is sand that

give you $500, and all expenses paid. Look out,

the notorious Atchafalaya Bank have lately been
sued for nearly three hundred thousand dollars ex-
cess of issues and will shortly, doubt be making
tracks. This beats old Nick himself. have always
told you that this was the city for nanclering with
a vengeance.
Morality is at an end here, unless Parson Clapp
can bring il back We are going to advertise tor a
dozen good preachers with strong lungs, to preach
here this winter, as the place needs It, Roguery
and rascality appears now to be the order OF the
day, but if we could only get little morality and
religion showed in edgeways, think the city weuld
yet be saved. As she now stands, don't think ten
righteous men could be found in it. want TO leave
this winter, if can raise the wind, tor am sure
h is doomed city.
Some of our banks are in little better condition,
but not much. Few will be able to open their
vaults on the 9th December, and those few will
not dare to do much business for fear of run tor
specie. 80
Capitalists from the North, If they will only bring
the silver dollars here this winter, will 90 strong
business. But wouldn't advise financierst TO come
out unless they want a coat OF tar and feathers
The cotton that has been sent to the city is OF an
excellent quality, but am afraid the heavy rains
are going to do great deal OF mischief For this
article the demand is yet very limited, and there Is
now a fine field for SPECTATORS Goods and stran-
gers ere arriving every day by the ship load. We
shortly expect a French operate company. Cald-

he will only let politics alone, and stick to theatre
GALS he will yet make another fortune. We shall
have host of stars here this winter Yellow fever
now dead, and we are going TO bury him tomorrow
Strangers can now come with IMMUNITY into the
city. The Citizens Bank is, (and one or two
others it is said will be,) enjoined issue any
more notes. What is going to come next can't
tell, but as soon as hear will let you know.
