LATE FROM TEXAS.

The arrival at New Orleans ofthe Nep
tune from Galveston on the 3lsi, bring
ing news from Texas as late as the 10Th,
puts US in possession Of several items OF
interest.
The war spirit is breathed freely, and
altho' Great Britain has offered 10 negO'
ciate for peace between Mexico and Tex.
as, on condition that the Latter shall aboI'
ish slavery within her limits, there is no
prospect of The acceptance of Britain's

ed, as the citizens Of Texas well know,
without some sinister des ign lurking al
the bottom Of all her boasted philanthro-
py.
Gen. Rusk, who recently took chief
command the army, addresses the peo
pie through the Houston Star, and de-
cIares his intention, if they will sustain
him, to prosecute vigorously the offensive
war. Felix Houston, who battled so mans
fully in the first war with Mexico, and
then retired to the peaceful fresde ofhis
own home, is again ready to buckle on
his old armor and march TO the con-
test.
The escape ofthe Mier prisoners is
doubted by the Honston Star. Letters
received from the Texian prisoners ia
ken at San Antonio, confirm the account
of their most unhuman treatment, which
Moorish barbarity could scarcely surpass.
| One Of the OYisoneTs writes:
"Three days since, myself and FIVE
others we're put 10 the cart and made TO
draw 100 lbs Of lime from the Castle 10

promised prosperity are quite flattering

inches long, The peices Of turf are remov.

PLouGHLNG FOR CORN.

The. American Farmer, says-In
ploughing up corn and oats ground, the
farmer should neither spare his team or
his plough, as the deeper he goes the
better prepared will his soil be to sus.
tainthe crop sown apOn it. 1t is fact
which cannot be disputed, that corn al.
ways stands drought better, looks green
and healthy longer and nine times out Of
ten will yield more fodder and moro
grain, than that which is planted in shall
low ploughed ground. There isno mys.
terry as that two and two make four.
The roots penetrate beyond the depth
at which, by evaporation, the earth be-
comes deprived of its moisture, and
there find in store for them that necessa,
ry ingredient to healthful vegetation, and
thus escape from the evil eibeing parched
up for want of water.
