LATEST FROM THE RIO GRANDE.

The steamer Fashion from Brasos Santsgo,
arrived at New Orleans the 18th ult, she left
the Sunday evening previous. She landed the
volunteers she took from New Orleans who were
kindly greeted by their fellow soldiers.
The only news she brings is report received
on the eve of starting, that the town of Roinoso
against which the expedition under Col. Wilson
had started, was surrendered without resistance.
Gov. Henderson, at the head of about one thou
sand Texan troops, reached the banks of the Rio
Grande on the 10Th inst. Seventeen warriors of
the Tonkaway tribe of Indians accompanied the
Texans.
The sight of these Indians created much alarm
to the inhabitants Of Matamoras and it's vic Inity.

THE WAREHOUSING SYSTEM

HE WAREdOUSlNG SYSTEM.
The Bill reported by Senator Dix of New
York, and recommended by Mr.. Secretary Wal.
ker, is one of the most important measures before
Congress. We have ever been in favor of this
system which gives the man of limited capital, the
same facilities, as the man Of wealth. The New
York Franco american Of the 18th inst, uses the
following arguments in its favor, which the New
York Sun had translated from that able Demo
cratic Republican Journal
"Tbe great mass Of importers, consumers, man
ufacturers, and the residents of our Atlantic cities.
are all moro or less interested in the passage of
sach law. Commerce first, on account of the
advantages it would give alike to large and small
capitalists, by permitting entries of goods in par
GELS of small amount, whether for the home mar
ket or expectation Under such law we should
more see, as we do now, few favored firms
enjoying a monopoly produced by their large a
mount of capital, to the great injury of very re-
spectacle houses who are not equally wealthy,
and cannot with equal facility procure the means
for immediate cash payments of duties on their
mportations, and thus find themselves by the un-
fair workings Of the law placed in an anti demo-
cratic position ofinequaty. Financial operations
would become more regular, as the demands for
cash duties would only be coequal with the actual
demand for merchandise. Purchasers would even
often pay the duties on their purchases, and i'm
porters would not often be driven, they are now,
to make forced sales and dangerous credits
Sales by auction, that bane Of American trade, so
often used TO raise means for tho payment of cash
duties, would become rare occurrences, and more
healthy and regular state of things would establish
itself in the now uctuatng state Of prices Of for
eign goods. The trade with Mexico, South
America and the West Indies, now almost entire
ly lost, would soon be restored to us, when pur-
chasers for those markets will find themselves
able to procure an assortment in our government
warehouses without the necessity Of purchasing
large aud valuable packages Of articles Of the same
sort, or under the present system, to enjoy the
benefit Of drawback, and at the saving of the time
and expenditure of European trip which many
Of them are nov compelled to perform once every
year. The American consumer would purchase
foreign goods at 30 much cheaper rate than the
amount of interest on the capital necessary for cash
duties and also the amount of sacrifices to be

A LESSON FOR APPRENTICES.

The editor of The Cincinnati Gazette, give an
account OF young apprentice in that Office, whose
traits are so remarkable, and so worthy withal of
imitation by our more youthful readers-especial-
ly those who conscious of the necessity of
working their own way through life, that we
have concluded to place the facts in prominent
place.
1t seems the youth in question was only about
eighteen months ago, a common "Carrier. -
While thus employed, he used his leisure mo-
ments in the procurement of the needful degree of
education, for the part of compositor." He
has already acquired such proficiency combined
with and stimulated BY the spirit of Industry that
he has set up, in single week. $4,000 ems, COM
mencing the week with empty cases, and distri-
butlng the whole of his letter. He received the
ordinary run of matter, made clean proofs and
spaced evenly. The regular weeks work of a
Journeyman is from $4,000 to SO, ZOO ems, and
more fall short of the lesser amount than exceed
1t.
This exhibits extraordinary rapidity as a com
position, and is worthy of notice for several reasons
stated in the Gazette, viz LIST, at journeyman's
wages $4,000 ems, amount to $50; Cd, this APP
prentice has his weekly task, &c 900 ems, for all
over which he is paid full price; Sd, he has had
no opportunities beyond those of apprentices gene
rally; no special favors were shown him in the
distribution of copy, nor is he blessed with better
health or stronger constitution than those of the
generality of boys Of his age. He has formed
good habits for himself, works regular; and with
industry is true to his employers, and faithful to
noble resolve he has made-to become in word
and in deed man. He is also making good use
OF his earnings. About a year ago he bought of
one of the proprietors of the Gazette, piece of
real estate-a lot large enough to build dwelling
house upon-whch he has already half paid for
by his overwork; and that without depriying
himself of rational recreation, or injuring his
health.
Boys! do you hear that2 Cheer up! amid
whatever Encouragement, keeping in view the
proberb, which declares, that " whenever there
is will there is way!''
