Mastodon Cotton.

A sample Of this Cotton can be seen at
the store of the Messrs Wardlaw's. 1t
was received in letter from friend, ac-
comPanied with some of the seed. This
kind Of Cotton sold for sixteen cents in
other Cottons of superior quality sold for
eight cents. Competent judges have pro-
nounced the Mastodon to be equal to the
Sea Island Cotton, both in beauty of tex
turc and length Of fibre, and with this
greater advantage, that it will mature well
on the Uplands of the Cotton growing
States. A few seed can be obtained by
the Farmers for experiment, by an early
application to MIR. Selleck, in said store.

Fifty Cents to the Groom for each mare.
AS to Pedigree, it is unnecessary to say

be produced.
Any person who can, or will show, at

ship answers as frankly; "that the mill.
tary preparations of England, while
they do not look directly to a probable
rupture with the United States upon the
Oregon question, are regarded as being
useful in the event of such contingent
cy," &C. In the mean time, on the
other side of the water, Mr.. Pakenham
proposes that the respective shares Of
the two nations in the Oregon territory
be determined by reference to some So
vereign or State agreed upon by both
parties. His proposal, however, is re-
jected, and that in language which the
New York Courier & Enquirer Justly
stigmatises as offensive. Mr.. Buchanan
writes -" The President declines the
offer Of arbitration. Mr.. Pakenham had
assumed that the title of England was
valid to at least a portion Of the disputed
territory, whereas the President had as
sumed the the title of the United States
to be clear and unquestionable to the
whole Of Oregon. This was sufficient
reason to decline the overture"
In a second letter, Mr.. Pakenham
proposes, "to submit the title itself to ar
bitration, and ifa friendly sovereign or
State is Objectionable to the United
States, then to mixed commission of
eminent jurists, civilians, &c. If the IT,
tie of neither party should prove clear
and satisfactory, then the arbitration
may divide the territory"
TO this Mr.. Buchanan answers, that
ne has no faith in arbitration. His an
swer is dated February the 4th. On the
9TH the correspondence was laid before
Congress. This, with the comments of
the press up 10 the 9th gives US the pre-
sent data for the formation Of opinion to
the upshot.

LATER FROM TEXAS.
By the arrival late last evening of the
steamship Galveston, Capt Wright,
from Galveston, we have received files
TO the Isl inst. from that city. The
Galveston made the trip in So hours.

which took place on Monday last, result

S. M. Williams, 449; Judge Pilsbury,

The Galveston Civilian makes the
following extract from letter to the
editor Of the Corpus Christi Gazette, da-
ted Matamoros, March 18th. The Ci-
william thinks the most is made of the
Mexican forces upon the Rio Grande:
Gen. Mejia is now at Matamoros. AS
soon as he was informed Of the arrival
Of the detachment from your army, un-
der Capt Hardee and Lieut. Hamilton
-theaaae opposite Brazos Santiago, via
Isla Padra, the other by the old Ma
tamoros road, near San Colorado-he
mustered every soldier here. and crossed
the Rio Grande in person, under the
impression that he should meet the ad-
vance of your army. He marched as
far as the Colorado Creek, with the ut
most possible despatch, and discovered
that both these detachments had re-
turned to the camp of Corpus Christi.
His anger at this unexpected ono find
you there" knew no bounds-as he had
boasted upon his departure from Mata-
moros, of the laurels he and his troops
would win before their return to their
old quarters His excellency was,
however, compelled to put back without
single trophy to grace his unwelcome
return.
All the forces, late under the COM
mand Of Gen. Aris!a, at Montery, and
now under the orders of Gen. La Vega,
about 1900 strong, have arrived at Ma
tamoros, and it is said will march forth
with for the Salt Lakes and the Sal Colo
RADIO, to arrest the March of Gen. Tay-
lor upon the Rio Grande. Gen. Canales,
of Comargo, with his regiment, nearly
1000 strong, has received orders to form
the advance of our forces, to watch the
movements fyour army, and is now oc-
cupying position in direct line be-
tween Comargo and Corpus Christi,
about 22 leagues from the former place,
at the northwestern extremity Of the
great salt lake. Gen. Ampudia-the
gentleman who boiled Sentmaaat's head
lis within two days march of us, with
$500 men, mostly cavalry. We know
very little of what is going on in the in
terror as General Paroles has stopped
the transmission Of all newspapers as
dangerous.
You who know pretty well all the
movements upon the political draft
board, will be able to judge of the times
by the signs. What is here stated is
true, and you may assure your friends
Of that fact. I might state many other
matters, but they are too delicate for dis
cussion at this moment. In my mex,
you will have further particulars, and
