From the Rio Grands.

The Savannah Georgian of Thursday last says:
"The steamer Monmouth, Capt. Freeborn, has ar
rived from Indian river We are informed by a
passenger that Just previous to the sailing Of the
steamer an express had arrived TO General Twiggs,
from the Rio Grande, stating that the Camanche
Indians, in great numbers had attacked the United
States forces on the Rio Grande, and killed one
hundred and thirty men We have no certain in
formation and hope that the report is exaggerated
although we fear our troops in that quarter have
suffered greatly.

WHAT CAN BE DONE ON ONE AcnE or LAND
The editor Of the Maine C,dtipotor published few
days ago his management Of one acre OF ground,
from which we gather the following results. One
third Of an acre in corn usually produces thirty
bushels of sound corn for grinding, besides some
refuse. The quantity was sufficient for family use,
and for fatting one large or two small hogs. From
the same ground he obtained two or three hundred
pumpkins and his family supply Of beans. From
bed Of six rods square, he usually obtained sixty
bushels of onions; these he had sold at one dollar
per busbel, and the amount purchased his Hour.
Thus from one third Of an acre and an onion bed,
he obtained his breadstus. The rest OF the ground
was appropriated TO all sorts Of vegetables for sum
nor and winter use; potatoes bcets, parsnps, cab
bage, green corn, peas, beans, cucumbers, melons,
squashes &C.; with fifty sixty bushels OF bees and
carrots for the food of COW. Then he had also How
er-gardcn, raspberries, currants and gooseberries
in great variety, and few choice apple pear, plum
cherry, peach, and ounce trees. II family can be
supported from acre Of ground in Maine, the
same can be done in every State and county in the
Union.

MANUFACTURES AT THE SouTH.-The growth of
the manufacturing interests of the South is one OF
the most gratifying evidences of our increasing
prosperity. Few, even among our intelligent citi-
zens, aware of the extent to which our people
are engaging in this branch of industry; and no
one acquainted with the Importance of manufac-
turing establishments in developing all the varied
interests of the country fail to in the
ment greater degree of prosperity than has here
tofore characterized the southern States, while con-
ining themselves chiefly to the production Of raw
material
But the most gratifying fact connected with this
growing interest, especially to Georgians, is
the lead which our State is taking. 1t has been
estimated that there now in operation in Geor-
gia forty cotton mills, employing near $4,000 spin.
dies, and consuming IS 600 bales of cotton annu-
ally In this estimate, which seems to US to be be-
low the true mark, no calculation is made of our
paper mills, bucket factories, iron establishments,
Touring mills, &C. In Tennessee, il has been re-
ported to the Secretary of the Treasury that there
are thirty factories, employing SO, 600 spndes In
South Carolina, the Hon. William Gregg says there
are sixteen factories, containing $500 spindles,
and about seven hundred LOOMS consuming 8 900
bales ofcotton per annum. He estimates the CAPT
tai invested in these establishments at about one
million Of dollars, and the number of operatives
they give employment to, at 900. There arc in
Alabama twelve factories, with capital OF
S5OO,000, containing 1880 spindles and three
hundred looms, and consuming about 800 bales
OF cotton annually. II is said that machinery for
others is contracted for sufficient to make the num-
Der Oh splnules ZO,OOu, anu ue IOOlns ooO
Thus we have in four States ninety eight manu-
factories of various descriptions Of cotton goods
| containing 1000 spindles. There doubles.
many other cotton mills in the other southern
States, which would swell the number somewhat.
In addition to these, there others going up not
only in this State but everywhere else at the South
We hazard but little in saying, that at the end Of
the next five years there will be perhaps two hun
dred cotton factories in operation in the southern
States, consuming two hundred and fifty thou
| sand bales Of cotton per annum, and giving en-
ployment to twenty five thirty thousand opera
lives The effect Of such diversion of labor upon
the productions Of the South, the price Of cotton
and the habits Of those who will likely be employed
| as operatives, must be immense. All the cost Of
| the transportation of the material TO England
of its manufacture there, and its transportation
back TO this country, will be saved to our people
The general price of cotton will be increased by the
competition which will ensue between the manufac.
turing establishments Of Europe and the northern
and southern States and great good TO society must
result from the employment Of Thousands Of idle
| and immoral persons, who consumers and
not producers Savannah Republican.

LOCAL MATTERS.

FIRE.-At about two O'Clock yesterday morning
frame dwelling, fronting on an alley between G
street and New York avenue, and 18th and 18th
streets, (owned by David Jones, very worthy
colored man, and occupied by his son. set on
fire on the outside by some wretch, and entirely
destroyed. The poor family had barely time to
save themselves and portion of their furniture.
There was insurance. The fine new brick house
of Mr.. Charles Gardner, fronting on G street, was
at one time thought to be in great danger, but sus
tanned no serious damage.
ANOTHER. Yesterday morning, about an hour
after the above occurrence, frame building on
10th street, between the avenue and street, was
fired by an incendiary, is believed. The build
ing belonged to DIR. William Jones, and was in
sured; but the tenants, Mr.. Valentine, carpenter,
Mr. Mccormack, cabinet maker, and Messrs.
Cook and Dwyer, painters, all sustained consider
able loss. MIR. Bonce, late tenant, had left fine
morticing machine in one of the shops, which was
also destroyed. The handsome brick dwelling ad-
joining, occupied by Mrs. Dyson, and owned by
the Misses Mast, suffered scorching. but pro-
baby not more than months rent will repair.
The adjacent property in both instances
saved by the timely presence and noble exertions Of
our excellent iremcn.
MORE LAND WARRANT RooUERy.-On Friday
last Emil Rothschid was brought from Baltimore TO
this city by officer Keith to answer certain charges
preferred against him. On Saturday he appeared
before Justice Dom, and was examined Ii appears
that in February or March, Is49, German came to
this city, claiming be the father and sole inhertor
of John and Henry Banff, two young Germans who
fell in the Mexican war. His identity was sworn
to by Rothschld and another German and he
ceeded in obtaining the land warrants and extra
pay due the estates Of the two brothers. But, it
afterwards appeared that the father of these men
was living in Germany, and had been in this
country, wary police were on the lookout for
the conspirators and perjurors by whom the Gov
eminent had been defrauded and Mr.. Rothschild's
arrest made in consequence. But this gentle
man says that he is not Emil Rothschild but Lewis
and that the guilty Emil, his brother, is not about
To make sure of this, and to get the right story
about some other matters, Justice Dom committed
him for further examination on Friday next. There
is equally crooked affair, il is said, in which Mr..
Rothschild had some hand respecting certain claims
of one Henry Miller, the true history Of which will
| no doubt be elected.
You've OFFKSDERs.-We reported on Thursday
last the Of Archibald Sterrt youth Of about

day, the 18th instant II has subsequently appeared
that the auction store of Messrs. Martin & Son
short time ago robbed by this same lad, and per-

party of them awaiting further examination by
Justice Dom before being committed for trial.
