The editor of the Planter says, that corn is exported
from New York to the British West Indiaslslands, and
a profit make on it, even though the first cost in N. York
amounts" to 50 or 55 cents a bushel, and in addition to this
freight, duties and other expenses are paid. If this be
true the merchants at Galveston and other Texian ports
rnfaht open a very profitable trade with'those Islands this
year: for corn can readily be purchased on the Trinity,
Brazos and Colorado for 25 or 30 cents a bushel, and it
conldbo delivered in the W.est Indies at a fair profit even
at fifty; centsta bushel. It is well known, however, that
corn can generally be purchased in the market of New
Orleanst a cheaper rate than in New York, and if the
trade with the West ladies would be profitable it is a
little surprising that the merchants of New Orleans have
not already taken advantage of it. and driven the N. York
merchants from the West India markets. As they can trade
with those Islands upon equal terms with regard to duties os
theNorlhern merchants, they surely would have the ad-
vantage in the facility of communication, the cheapness of
command other produce and the cheapness of freight.
"Whenever the price of corn in Texas however, is less
thaat New Orleans, there is no doubt that a profitable
trade in this article can be opned with the West Indies.
Bexab? Several gentleman have lately arrived in
town from Bexar. They state that Capt. Hays surprised
asmalKpfrty of Mexicans on the Rio Frio a few weeks
ago, captured one of them and wounded another. The
wounded Mexican was Lenndro Garza, a noted spy and"
traitor. His horse was shot under him. and he was shot
through the shoulder witba rifle ball: but even in that
condition he effected his escape into the bottom of the Rio
Frio. The prisoner was sent to Bexar. It is'not known
whether this party was a spy company from a detachment
stationed on the Nueces, or merely a band of robbers.
There were only four or five in the party. Capt. Hays
has gone on to the Nueces to ascertain wheiher any large
body of Mexican troops is stationed on that river. He
will probably return in ten or twelve days. The trade of
Bexar continues exceedingly dull. The intercourse with
the Rio Grande is almost entirely suspended. The few
traders who have lately visited Bexar came in by night as
if by stealth and set out on their return in the night. They
find it so difficult to avoid the Mexican troops on the Rio
Grande, that they a re" afraid to bring in any large quanti-
ty of specie, and generally purchase goods only to the
amount of five or six hundred dollars. There is an abun-
dance or corn at Bexar, and it is now selling at about 25
cents a bushel. -'
.Winter. The snow fell four inches deep at Troy,
N. Y., on the 23d of September. The Albany Evening
Journal of the 23d of September, says "snow commenced
falling quite steadily about 10 o'clock last night, and con-
tinued until noon to-day. The air is raw, and every thing
wears a wintry look."
There was a snow storm at 'Yazoo city (Mississippi) on
the 27th of September.
The people of the parishes of Lonisiana adjoining
Texas, are uniting in a petition to the Congress of the
United States for remounting the 2d regiment of Dragoons
which were disbanded about-right months ago, Should
this regiment be remounted it will probab'Iybe stafibned
near Fort Towson, on the North-eastern frontier of
Texas.
Red River. There hasbeenanolher freshet in Red
River. Gn the418th ult, it was nearly as high as it was
during the great freshet last spring. At Alexandria, on
theJJ8tbjjuIt, the river was so high" that steamboats could
Teauily pass over the falls. Extensive improvements
have been made in this river this season. The Caddo
Gazette says :
,CapL Hall, who has charge of the hands now operat-
ing on the river below, was in town on Monday, and we
learnedVrom him that he has progressed downwards about
thirty miles, and that he would continue until the 1st of
November, when the limcfor which the hands were em-
ployed will have expired. The nature of this work con-
tinues to be, that of removing the overhanging and other
timber for ten feet back-spreading down abrupt points and
making cut-offs by digging ditches across the most im
portant bends. At 'The Devil's Elbow which every one
wbVhas travelled up Red River must have noticed, two
ditches have been cut in such a manner that the entire
point may be swept -a way by the action of the water. Capt.
Hall further states that bis method of operating and the
labor performed have given much satisfaction to the set-
tlers on the river."
Appointments William M. Hurt. Esq, has been
appointed by the President, Collector of Customs for the
Districtof Sin Augustine; and Henry Redmond, Collec-
tor for'the District of Aransas.
The Vindicator has appeared again. Its editor ap-
pears to be in some danger of starting. He says:
"We must live. Every expenditure attached to a press,
requires cash. Howthen, itnny be asked, can we expect
10 sustain a press? Only in one way. Let every sub-
scriber in Montgomery and Washington, who is a planter,
pay their subscriptions in cotton, delivered at some Gin,
at such price as the merchants are giving. Let other sub-
scribers, in produce, deliver their articles promptly at such
point as may be agreed upon, and we can exist without
it we fail."
Many of the Indians who lately assembled at Bird's
Fort, were attacked by fevers, and a large number of them
died. The Indians were ill provided with provisions or
clothing, and appeared very poor and djected. They
have suffered greatly during the wars with our frontier
settlers.
Colony in the Cross Timbers. We have heard
many conflicting accounts relative to the settlement estab-
lished by Messrs. Peters & Co , in the Cross Timbers
A few months since we learned that two or three hundred
emigrants from Kentucky intended to remove to that sec-
tion, and we confidently expected that there would be two
or three hundred" families in this colony this Autumn.
m We however have recently learned that the number of
families now settled within the limits of the colony is only
twenty-five. These are settled near the mouth of Elm
creek, and the houses are scattered from Bird's Fort to
Dallas, a distance of 17 miles, along the east bank of the
river. Bird's Fort is situated about 12 miles above the
mouth of Elm Fork, and Dallas five miles below it. The
distance from Dallas to a point due north to Red River is
only 70 miles, and the country between the two points is
undulating, and could easily be travelled by wagons. It
Is believed that the Trinity can with little difficulty be
made navigable to Dallas. The late freshets in the Trin
ity have swept away a large portion of the rafts that ob-
structed the navigation. Col. Bryant and Mr. Beaman,
who reside at Dallas, set fire to the main raft last June,
and it continued burning for" several days. A correspon-
dent of the Northern Standard mentions that they entertain-
ed no doubt that the raft could easily be reduced by fire so
that the next freshet would remove it, and thus the navi-
gation of the river would be opened to the mouth of Elm
Fork. Should these expectations be realised, the upper
Trinity will soon become one of the most desirable situa-
tions of Texas, and the colony in the Cross Timbers will
become the centre of flourishing settlements. Much of
the trade of Fannin county and the adjoining counties on
Red River would be directed through the Trinity to Gal-
veston. Apples. The crop of Apples at the North has been
quite abundant this year, and large quantities of this excel-
lent fruit are now collected in the market of New Orleans.
Few have yet been brought to this city, and the few that
have arrived have found a ready sale.

THE PRESIDENCY.
Mr. Editor, 1 noticed sometime since in the Red
Lander, a lengthy communication which closely resem-
bles in diction some documents that have emanated from
the State Department, advocating the claims of A. Jones,
Secretary of Slate for the Presidency ! The writer has
attempted to give a history of Dr. Jonrs from the period
that he emigrated from Louisiana to Texas. He ought
to have gone further back, and given his history from the
time he emigrated from his native village among the
bleak hills of Herkimer county in New York, where sev
eral political pedlars commenced their career. Dr. Jones I
have been informtd is a countryman of Martin Van Bu-
rei; but perhaps like a noted officer who has long been i
ridiculed for his vanity, the writer wishes to create the im- .
pression that he is a son of the chivalrous South. Shame I
to the man who is ashamed of his birth place.

bv anv brilliant or useful Dublic act: his
foibles mi"ht be overlooked: but unfortunately like one
ofhis countrymen he depends on political juggling rather
than merit for success. The language that the venerable
Hugh L. W hite applied with prophetic accuracy to Van
Bun-n, is peculiarly applicable to him :
"He is nothing but a mere tuft of political misleloc.
having no root ofhis own, adhering to and supported by
the hmb of a distant trunk altogether, and must as infal
libly perish wheuever thai trunk ceases to nourish him, as
the tuft on yonder oak, whenever that oak shall have de-
cayed and fallen."
