$ Troops-FurtIler from St. Domingo.
MONTGOMERY, April 2.-William II. Ward, editor
Of the "Key Of the Gof,' has arrived here from
Pensacola, and states that on the 25th ult. the
steamer General Rusk arrived at Key West with
two hundred U. S. troops for Key West and one
hundred for Tortugas. The steamer Crusader
reached Key West with sealed orders, under charge
of Captain Craven, with the U. S. Marines on
board. The soop-ofwar Brooklyn was going in to
Key West on the 26th and no doubt she left her
troops at Fort Pickens
The Texas Commissioners stipulated that the
troops from that State on board the steamer Rusk,
should be landed at New York. The commanders
of the three companies on board the steamer signed
a document generating Captain Smith, of the
steamer Rusk, of all blame for the deception.
Mr. Ward further states that by an arrival at
Spanish flag had been hoisted at st. Domingo by
the French and Spanish residents.
The Spanish residents had previously written to
Havana, stating that if Spanish forces we're not
sent thither the Spaniards would hoist the Spanish
flag, whereupon five Spanish war vessels, with one
thousand men, sailed from Havana, and took for
NAL possession of St. Domingo, aided by a French
corvette.
Ex.Presdent Miramon was at Havana endeavor.
ing to raise force for the purpose of invading
Mexico. The Spanish and French authorities seem
to sympathize in the movement. 1t was believed
at Havana the 29th that those Governments
would, by squadrons, aid the landing at Vera Cruz
of such an expedition.
1t was affirmed at Havana that the English and
! French fleet had sailed for Vera Cruz. Object un-

"OUR CARRIERS ARE FULL"-The great size and
humber of the grain warehouses in Chicago are the
wonder of all visitors And yet vast as they are
two of them alfording room for 700, 900 bushels
there is not room in the city for another weeks
receipts. Vessels and propelIers are in request
for loading in order to receive and make room for
what is arriving. AS receiving from sixty
to hundred thousand bushels daily, tits plain that
unless navigation opens within two or three weeks
eur railway snagers will be obliged to send per-
emptory orders to the country to stop shipments.
Our tables published week ago show that we
have now in the city at least 300 900 bushels
grain. The amount is probably greater by the re-
ceipts of last week. Of this we have $50 900 bush
els of wheat and 100000 bushels of corn Taking
the amount in store, BY "ciphering" a few mo-
ments some very curious results will be reached
Allowing GO bushels to the load, nearly double what
the farmers team hauls, and it would take II ,666
teams to draw it; and if each team occupy twenty
feet, it would take 365 miles of road to give them
standing room. This is exactly the distance be-
tween Chicago and Cairo. And, again, it will re-
quire 287 vessels and propeers to clear out our
warehouses if each one take load of Is 600 bush
els. And yet all we have in store is not tithe of
what farmers will send forward during the
season, if satisfactory prices realized Chicago
