FILLMORE IN New YoRK.-The Albany Statesman
tells us that almost universally it is the fact that
wherever the Americans were overborne in the late
elections in New York, it was effected by the united
forces of Democrats and Republicansm 1t adds the
following cheering news:
"To the close observer the fact is apparent the
unclouded at noon.day, that the American Party
will carry the Empire State next fall. There is no
earthly power that can preventits having large pu
raity, if not clear majority in the State. To nobody
is this SO apparent as to the Republicans and Demo
Gratis. While to them it is fact disheartening and
chilling, to Americans it is full of hope and well cal
culated to inspire confidence and renewed energy for
the good cause"

The San Antonio Ledger Of the 18th says
The weather continues TO be delightful, and we
trust that win yet atone for the severity Of the past
winter We. have of late observed numerous cart
loads Of hides passing through town to the coast
and as many thousands of cattle have pesished from
cold and want of subsistence, we much fear that
stoek=raisefs .l have suffered severely.
Black Cat, the only living child Of tie far- famed
Iecunseh, says the Washing ton American, now en-
camped, Witha few followers, near that place.
Capt. Keoedy, Of Brazoria county, is trying sea
island cotton as an experiment, and has planted
seyenty-ive acres with seed from Florida.
The cotton crop, says the Columbia Democrat, il
promising excellenty we'll but rain was much wanted
At an election in Austin, on the 7th inst, for one
Magistrate and two Aldermen, the American candii-
dates were elected. VI
Ex-Governor Horton, and many others who have
Travelled over Texas thinks there viii be sugar crop
there this season The sudden transition from winter
to summer, without any intermediate spring weather
has been fatal to the, cane. V a88

bine that brig Yves seen ashore the coast about
twenty miles East Of Point Bolivar I is feared that
this is the brig Mary Hamilton, from New York.
Trinity Ripefs letters from Magnolia, of the 10th
inst, represent the Trinity river as down low.
The amount OF cotton yet to be forwarded from the
Trinity valley estimated at about 600 bales and
q rise in the river is very much desired, but many
persons think there is little hope for this season
