News from New Orleans-Twenty-four
Hours In Advance OF the Mails.
Oar special express arrived yesterday afternoon
from Mobile and New Orleans with papers from
the former city to the 22t, and from the latter to
the 2lst instant, inclusive, ore day ahead Of the
mail.
There is very little news Of interest; nothing fur
her from Mexico.
# was generally thought in New Orleansthat the
intelligence of the defeat and capture OF Santa
| Anna would prove to be correct.
| The Coneordia Intelligence states that a number
of the smaller planters are determined TO abandon
the culture of cotton and turn their attention 10
| raising corn, stock, &C. The st. Augustine (Flor
ida) Ne1Us says that, owing to the low price OF cot
ton, many Of the planters In that Territory intend
| to cultivate tobacco in future.
! The Mobile Herald OF the 22d says:-By pas
| sengers who arrived yesterday from the interior
we are informed that the late heavy rains have
raised the rivers very considerably The Alabama
particularly IS "up and a-booning, and even to go
great an extent that persons having cotton on Its
banks are obliged to ship to save 1t from floating
| away.
| If the news published by us yesterday, says the
Nc,o Orleans Bee OF the 2lst inst OF the defeat
| and capture Of Santa Anna, may be relied on, and
we have no reason to question It's correctness, the
career Of the Mexican Dictator has probably, ere
this, been brought TO bloody close. The fate OF
fallen tyrant IN country like Mexico, alternate
ly swayed by factions and subject TO a military
despotism, needs little conjecture. The axe and
| the headsman, the cord, or peradventure the more
honorable doom OF soldier, will quickly termi-
/ nate his mortal cares.

SAG HARBoR-Ths important commercial place,
with upwards of one hundred sail of vessels, and
aboundng in wealth, has yet scarcely been known.
Situated at distance from New York but little
exceeding one hundred miles, the communication
has been rare, and the journey so aborious, that
dire necessity only has taken them there until the
recent opening Of the railroad to Greenport, twelve
miles distant. The wealthy men of the place-the
Howells, the States, and Gardners, and others
have awoke, and are now negotiating with the
Long Island Railroad Company for communica
ton with the city four times day, by the Comp
ny's steamers, twelve miles to Greenport, and
thence by railroad ninety-six miles, joining the re
guar Boston trains, which daily run the distance
through in three hours and forty minutes. They
also negotiating to transmit by this conveyance
all their bulky freight, consisting of oil, whale
bone, DC
New Yorker would be surprised at the SINH
larity of the equipages here to those in New York,
and would only discover difference in the splen-
did blood horses of Long Island breed, in which
they SO much pride themselves in possessing.
