Later from Texas,

The steamship Mexico, Capt Lawless, arrived yes
terday morning from Indianola via Galveston.
The Galveston News Of Saturday says: a..
We learn that the Brazos has fallen Or feet and
is still falling, but that there is still water enough for
4 good navigation. ltf- r,- = #
From the commercial article of the Civilian of Fri
day, we extract the following: "4Ts ~
E CoTToN-The receipts of Galveston, the week end
ing this morning have been 1884 bales. The exports
1896 bales. The market, previous to the receipt Of
the news by Monday nights mail, from Europe, the
North, and New Orleans, exhibited some signs of
languor but rallied under the influence of this in
teigence, though it still partakes somewhat Of the
feeling prevailing at the great cotton portzof the
South nearly always the regulator for the smaller
markets. The sales of the week amount to some 2700
bales, at an average Of about s}o per lb.
The Indianola Bulletin of Saturday says
For the last several days the weather has been ex
ceedingly fne and if we are to judge from the large
trains of cotton wagons that constantly coming in
the roads must be in an improved condition, We
counted on Thursday, seventeen wagons and carts in
one train heavily laden with cotton If the weather
should continue good Q few days we apprehend that
the remainder of the crop will all be sent forward.
/ The Houston Telegraph states hatWithin the past
twelve months not less than 1000 slaves have been in

There is but little Indian news. A number Of Ger:
mans recently surprised four indians encamped at
Post OAK Hl near the Clbolo, and Killed them all.
The San Antonio Ledger says:5o u Ia js
On the 18th of last month, Col. johnson command
ing at Fort Mason directed Can't Oaks and party to
scour the San Saba and Lano rivers. After securing
the former to within short distance Of Fort MeKl-
vett, he met the guide belonging to that post, who
informed him that party of four Indians had at
tempted to steal horses from the Fort the previous
night. He accordingly proceeded there, when he
learned that small parties Of Indians had several times
visited them during the previous week Capt. Cakes
divided his force directing Lieut. Shaaf to SO to the
head-waters of the Coneho, while he himself followed
a trail which led in the direction Of the upper Lano
The trail was soon lost but continuing in the general
direction for some days, it was again found after
suffering greatly from the want of water and the IN
clemency of the weather. they, on the fourth q day,

THE CAMDEN MuRDER.-The persons who have
been arrested for killing Mr.. Hatch, near Camden,
New Jersey, were Frenehmen, and not Germans,
and are represented to be quiet, harmless men; but
Hatch, the man who owned the ground where the
Frenchmen were amusing themselves, is reported to
have attacked the strangers and by force wanted to
deprive them Of their guns instead of explaining to
them the law which is rather stringent in jersey and
in wrestling the gun from the trespasser it went off
and killed Hatch. One of them, however, confesses
that he fired the gun, but in seledefance

BUsINEss.-Business is active on the'Ievee though
not so brisk as at some special periods during last
month and in December, yet there is an inlrnensity
Of produce being received and an almost incredible
amount of merchandise going forward There are
boats loading for Vicksburg, Memphis and all land
ings below there are boats for Red river as high as
they can CO., which is not quite up to the Rocky
Mountains; boats for Texas via Lakes Caddo and
Soto; boats for Lake Bisteneau, another direction
boats for Bayou Teche, Bayoude Gaize Bayou Rouge,
Bayou Gros Tete, Bayou Vernillion, Ouachita river,
Bayou Bartholomew, Bayou Tensas, Saline river
and Black river Then, if these are not sufficient,
there are boats for Arkansas and White rivers Yazoo
Yalabousha and Tallahatchie rivers. With the leyee
filed with merchandise for all these various Places it
may be considered there is an active business going
on in our city, To the above places may be added
boats for Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Louisville and
the hundreds of intermediate towns cities and land
ings, departing every day-sometimes two Or three
daily. Then it must not be overlooked that there are
two score of boats engaged in the ST. Louis trade and
as soon as the ice breaks up the Upper Mississippi
there will be boats departing for the Falls of ST. An
thony. we have no room for other Details but merely
suggest to conservative friend from Paris to say
if he ever saw the sights in Paris that he can now
witness on the leyee in New Orleans.

NAVAL NEws.-An officer on board the United
States ship Macedonian, under date of Hong Kong,
January 18th, says:
The Vandalia is just down from Annoy, and will
sail soon for Manila. The movements of the Mace
donian are not yet certain. When this reaches you
both ships will have been absent from the United
States over three years. and the terms of service of
all their original crews must have then expired and
they, without exception will be receiving the one
quarter additional pay allowed to men kept over their
time. F
The Macedonian started from the United States
with two hundred and seventy souls on board-but
now, Notwithstanding she has been constantly re-
cruiting her crew by new enlistments, she has but
two hundred and twenty aboard. The deficiency is
to be accounted for by deaths, desertons, and the
occurred, and about fifty nvalided and returned to
the United States

THE LIQUOR Law UNCONSTITUTIONAL Court
of Appeals in Albany, N. Y, has rendered decision
adverse to the constitutonality of the search and
seizure clause of the prohibitory liquor law In an
other case in which Judgment was rendered by the
lower court in favor of the constitutonaty of the
prohbitory principle, the Court of Appeals has re-
versed the judgment, thus declaring not only the
search and seizure clause, but even the general prn
ciple of prohibition, unconstitutional.

WATER ON THE TEXAN PLAINs.--We learn that
the efforts made by direction of government to pro-
cure water on the great plains from Texas to the
Pacific have thus far proved successful 1t is stated
that in one instance near the Pecos river-about the
SD paralle-at the depth of $50 feet the greatest
abundance of pure WATERWAYS obtained. Besides this,
the operation developed the existence of coal beds,
easily accessible and far as the experiments have
progressed, evidently underlying the whole Of that

EB We have received from the Superintendent,
Capt James Stockton of the Upper Canal and Basin,
the following statistics of the inward trade of the

very small share Of these receipts came from other

make two hundred and twenty-six thousand dollars.
Though thousands and thousands Of dollars in value
of sugar, molasses coffee, -four, bacon, in fact all
kinds of produce have been exported for Alabama,

A TUNNEL CAvED MA few days ago a portion
