From the Rio Grande.

By the arrival yesterday Of the steamship Robert
Waterman, from Brazos Santiago, we have the
Brownsville Flag of the 7th inst. From that paper
we extract the following intelligence:
Our river is in fine boating order. Trade is brisk
Lead hides and various commodities from Mexico
and this side of the river, being shipped every
vessels of larger draft lay in readiness to transport
those valuable articles OF trade to different ports.
Notwithstanding the past drought, the produce for
TRANSPORTATION has been comparatively great and our
river trade has not fallen off very much from the
same season of last year. The present crop of corn
lust maturing is said to be parts of the river
great deal better than the first, and consequently
there will be large supplies for other markets.
We noticed some heavy machinery brought up by
the Grampus the other day for the Vallecilio Mining
Co., which speaks well for their enterprise This
machinery will enable them to carry on their mining
operations extensively. -
1t is said that Gov vidaurr has contracted for the
colonization Of 500 Seminole Indians on the vacant
lands OF Nuevo Leon with the object of having these
Florida sayages as barrier to the nroads of the CO.
manches. We fear he will find the remedy worse
than the evil
We learn from private letter received by young
man in our city, that the citizens of the town OF
Nombre de Dios, Zaeateeas Mexico, were attacked
about the latter part of last month by party OF ban
ditti composed Of about thirty men, supposed to be
robbery occurred in the night, and these ruffans
bound them with cords in their houses while taking
their property. 1t is said over $4,000 in money, be
sides large amount OF property, was carried away
Preparations soon made by the alcalde OF thai
place to arrest those suspected of being accomplice
in the affair ,and it was thought by the writer from
that place that the robbers would be apprehended.

Louisiana Intelligence,


The Caddo Gazette of the Sd inst. has the follow
ing:
The first part of the past week was dry and plea
sant such as the planters at this time delight to see
but within the last two or three days it has been
cloudy, with some, though not great deal Of rain
The planters are engaged actively in picking cotton
and are doing first rate work. If there should be
frost before the 2Oth the crop of this at least the
hills will far exceed that of last year. Amounts
brought in daily through the week will not, we un-
derstand, exceed an average for each day, of more
than one hundred bales. Next week, however, we
and roads are thronged with wagons heavily adened
with the great peace maker of the world-his I'm.
perial Majesty the cotton bale.
Samuel Wells, Esq, who returned from Monroe a
few days snce states that as many as two responsible
bids had been made for the work on the western
division of the railroad, extending from Shreveport
to the Texas line. The bids will be considered by
the company, and one Of them probably accepted.
The Claiborne Advocate says:
During the last ten days the weather has been au-
tunmke, cool and delightfully."- pleasant and our plan
ters have been turning it to advantage in pushing
forward their cotton picking. Cotton is now open
ing very fast in this seCtiOn and week or two more
of good weather will enable them to get out an ex-
tensive lot of beautiful cotton We are gratified to
learn that the general health of parish is greatly
improved and the prospect now is that all disease
will soon disappear from our midst.
The Baton Rouge Sugar Planter Of Saturday last
says:
For the last few days, the Rain God has been as
prolific as usual with his favors. 1t will have the
effect of delaying somewhat grinding operations fol
the present. If such weather continues we fear il
will retard our sugar making until later day than
usual. Several planters in our vicinity have beer
| complaining that the cane had begun to ." hollow,
and they feared falling off of the estimated crop il
| consequence.
Since writing the above, the weather has become
| balmy, bright and clear.

The Lexington Advertiser, of Friday last

The Lexington Advertiser, of Friday last, says:
The weather during the first part of the week was
decidedly disagreeabe 1t raned for two days without
intercession-the only benefit therefrom was the lay
ing of the dust and the cultivation no doubt, of
new "crop' of chills and fever patients.
The Pamela Star, of the 7th nst relates the follow
ing singular incident: b.
A young man, whose name we did not learn, was
shot by his dog, in this county last week. in the fol
lowing singular manner. He was riding mule and
carrying shot gun. He tied the end Of rope by
which he was leading his dog, to the gun. The mule
became alarmed at something and threw him off the
dog started to run, and dragged the gun after him.
when it went off and shot the young man in the leg.
We did not understand whether he was seriously hurt
or not.
The same paper has also the following:
Early on Monday morning we had heavy showers
Of rain which continued during the day till evening,
when it cleared off, but commenced again about Ii
O'Clock at night when it poured down briskly for a
short time. Yesterday morning it rained again, and
continued to do so during the day. These rains, we
hope will prove beneficial to the farmers. The at.
mosphere is pleasantly COOL and the dust entirely laid
The Carroll county Democrat Of Friday last says
For two days during the early part of the week we
have had rain continuously which will result very
injurionsly to the cotton crop. Cotton opening
very well for week prior to the rain, and the weather
had been favorable for picking. The rain will dimn.
ish the quantity of the crop and affect the quality
| materially of that portion not gathered.

TUESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER ls. 1857.
Talk on 'e;hange.

Talk on Change is one thing, talk on the street ia
another but the way the latter increased yesterday
may be considered problem, particularly as II re-
suited in good and we well satisfied there was
harm done as that is already completed. It ia idle
for people to be talking about banks they are not
going to suspend. As the great jackson said when
the committee Of the doubtful Legislature Of our
State in December, 1914, called on him the plains
Of Chalmette, to know what he would do in case the
British forced his lines and compelled him to retreat
he replied that they (he Legislature) would have
pretty warm time Of it, as be, no doubt, would have
burned the city before it fell into the enemys hands.
So with our banks, we think our commercial COM
munity will have pretty warm time before our
banks surrender Is it not supremely ridiculous to
hear Of bank suspensions7 Our community will get
through without any real further trouble The crisis
we verify believe past and it is useless to talk any
further regarding it. So may as well all go to
work. and do the balance Of the talking next Jolly
and August. ~ .5. 81
The receipts of cotton yesterday were by the Prin
cess, from vicksburg, 3o99 bales John Simonds,
from Memphis, 2575 Judah Touro, from vicksburg,
4s4; Capitol, from Fishers landing 62l National,
254. Total, 7038 bales.
It is the talk In some circles that much cotton will
be held back by the planters until the market assumes
a higher stand. We cannot expect that the prices
which were realized to.day--say ten cents-wil be
acceded to by the mass of the growers Those who
have anticipated these returns at this early period Of
the season, must suffer. The more we reflect the
innovation of old fogy" former modes Of trans
acting business, the more we astonished at the
amount of responsibilities forced our factors for
the month of October-a month of all others which
was in " old fogy times' considered one only the
preparing for the seasons business This position Of
affairs forms good deal of the talk among old
citizens
The telegraph yesterday brought advices of tht
arrival of the Collins steamer Atlantic, after fine
passage, with four days later advices from Liverpool
The news if news it can be called, is not of import
ance. The telegraph also brings advices Of soms
more bank stoppages.
| While there is SO much said about stoppages ani
failures we have to announce the sudden stoppag'
of one of our most eminent and substantial mer
chants. This occurred yesterday precisely at forty
five minutes past IL O'Clock A. N. It was too trying
to wait till o'clock, when worthy citizen stopped
into the ST. Charles Hotel and took glass of brand
and water-and Gen. Palfrey's old clock stopped a
meridian. These are the only important stoppage
yesterday, and there is soundness in them thai
in seventyfve per cent. of the telegraph dispatches
