A NEW ARTICLE or ExPoRr.-We are told that
Yankee broom-makcr in Ohio has leased twelve
hundred acres Of bottom land on the Scioto river,
near Columbus, and planted the entire plot in broom
corn, with view to export the crop to England,
where he intends to proceed himself, and engage ex-
tensively in the manufacturing of brooms, taking
with him the wood for the handles and the ma
chinery used for the purpose. Brooms made from
the American broom-corn are so much superior, for
various uses TO anything to be had in England that
they have become, within few years past, quite in
favor in that country, and now exported thithsr
in large quantities. The duty and freight on the
manufactured article add largely TO the cost of do
livery in England but, by shipping the unmanu-
featured materials in compact shape, these two
items Of expense are rendered merely nominal.
This new enterprise is one of the phases in which
the ingenuity and industry of our countrymcn ex-
hib themselves and no doubt il will prove profitable.
We want nothing but freedom Of trade 70 develop
the manifold resources ofthis country. Who would
have dreamed, a few years since, Of the "raw ma
terial" of broom-corn becoming an article Of ex-
tcnsive export?

ANNEXATION RATIFIED BY TEXAS.

The intelligence from Texas, published in another
column, of the highest interest and Importance.
Texas accepts annexation as proffered by the joint
resolutions Of the Congress of the United tatcs,
promptly, and with entire unanimity. The Senate
Of the Texian republic also rejects with equal unan-
unity the propositions Of Mexico through the agen
cy Of the English and French diplomatic agents.
The question Of neraiion therefore, may be regarded
as seitied Texas will come in, probably, immedi-
ateiy after the assemblage of the convention on the
4,h inst, and the ratification of its doings by the
people, with all the attributes and associations of
State Of this republic. We congratulate the friends
of this great movement everywhere, upon this aus
picious result.
The intelligence from Mexico is also Of high in
terest That country il subject to further agitation
and revolutionary or nsurrectionary movements.
What the course of that government will be, under
the recent results in Texas, and the summary re-
lection Of its proers Of he recognition of Texan in
dependence, conditioned that the latter shall refuse
annexation, remains TO be seen. We can scarcely
think that Mexico, however chagrined by the course
of things, will rashly rush into hostties with the
United States. Passion or popular feeling may
prompt it; but every consideration of government
policy not to say justice and good scnes, points to
different result.-.1ibany .9rgus.

THE NEW POSTAGE LAw.-We are happy to learn,
an we do at the post office, that, yet there is but
little il any falling off from the immense impulse at
given to the business of the Post Office Depart.
ment by the cheap postage law, which went into Of
feet on the LIST inst The amount of correspondence
between this city, Boston, and Philadelphia, has
become multiplied nearly fve-fod and that between
New York and all other points, has increased from
three and half to FIVE hundred per cent. in the num-
Der of letters. The great difference produced by the
new law in the postage Of letters composed OF more
than one sheet Of paper, however, occasions dimi-
mutton of revenue, which the numerical increase Of
letters, great is, yet fails to meet and very
large deficit in the aggregate receipts Of the depart
ment for some months TO come, as compared with
previous receipts, must be expected. A very shor,
space of time will suffice, however, to extend
amongst and confirm in hundreds of thousands o.
the inhabitants or our widespread republic, spirit
and habit Of correspondence, hitherto rendered., by
exorbi,ant postage, luxury altogether too expen-
sive for general indulgence; which will not only
make good all deficiencies from all causes but add
greatly to the prosperity of the department, as well
as immeasurably to the prosperity and happiness Of
our twenty millions ofinhabitants.
