THE ARMY OF GENERAL TAYLOR. (From the New Orleans Picayune, Aug. 6.) E.The steamer Ohio, Capt. J. Swiler, jun., arrived yes- terday morning from Brazos Santiago, touching at Gal veston, She left the Brazos on Saturday, the Bist ult., and Galveston on the 2d inst. Eby this arrival we have the Matamoros Flag of the th ult. The Flag says that Col. Gorman, with fourcompanies of Indiana voluuteers passed up the river on the 24th ult., on the Big Hatchee ; Lieut. Col. E. Dumont, with two companies of the 26th, on the Col. Hunt ; and the remaining four were on the Col. McKee, at the mouth of the river, all bound for the Camp of Instruction, The regiment is nearly 1000 strong, and has suffered a loss of but four men since leaving Indiana. A letter was received on Monday, by our commandant, (the Third Dragoons) from Gen, Hopping, stating that he had received information that Gen, Urrea was on this side of the mountains with some four thousand men, and requesting a squadron of dragoons—but we learn that their colonel chooses to remain here until he has re- ceived bis complement of hores, in the meantime dril- ling his men as thoroughly as could be done elsuwhters. A company of mounted men from Ohio, who had recently arrived here, was, therefore, sent up by the first boat, and will report to Gen Hopp.ng immediately for duty ‘We understand from several sources entited to credit that this worthy (Col, Carvajal.) was on Friday last at a rancho called La Vasuria, some twenty-five leagues dis- tant, on the road to Linares, with a force numbering about 260 men, having been joined by Galan, another guerilla chief | They are said to have detained a large number of mules loadad with cora, soap, sugar, and other produce, destined for this place, besides one hun- dred cargoes of goods which had been’ sent from here to Monterey. They appear determined to spare neither friends nor foes, but confiscate all they can intercept ax fuir booty—looking upon those interested as giving “ aid and comfort’ to the enemy. ty of sixty men are reported to have been, a few days since, within two or three leagues of this place, picking up deserters from the Mexican army, and impressing others into their service from the various ranchos in our neighborhood. A squadron of mounted men could soon open the way for the traders ; and we understand that our commandant has an eye upon the proceedings of these commissioned parties, and we hope soon to hear that the roads are red and made safe for the transmission of merch dise of all descriptions. Capt. E. A Ogden has been relieved at his own request from the post of quartermaster at the mouth of the Rio Grande, and Major Anderson assigned to duty at that place, The occasion of Capt, Ogden's retirement do- mands of us a word in praise ofthe zeal and untiring industry he has displayed in the discharge of the duties which have devolved upon him since the commencement of the war. In taking charge of the affairs of the depart- ment at the mouth of the river, a world of obstacles had to be encountered and a yast responsibility assumed, How he has discharged the trust reposed in him, the ro- gularity and order with which every thing has been con- ducted gives sufficient evidence. An uninterrupted na- vigation of the Rio Grande from the mouth ef the river to Camargo has been kept up throughout the whole year, against obstacles which by nearly every one were considered insurmountable. In the transportation of troops and supplies there has been no delay; they have been forwarded with a despatch and safety deserving the highest commendation. At his immediate post the energy of the man shows more apparent. One year ago the post at the mouth of the Rio Grande was a barren sand-beach, and millions of dollars’ worth of public pro- perty was being landed there without any protection from weather, and immense losses wore sustained in conse- quence. In a brief space of time commodions and se cure storehouses were erected; and us we viewed the place a few days ao, it has the appearance of a thriving commercial town. with an industrious population busied at their various avocations, A substantiallog wharf, seve ral hundred feet long, has been completed, a ship-yard for the repair of steamboats and vessels is in operation, and nothing seems to have been left undone which it was in Capt. Ogden’s power to accomplish for theadvancement of the government interest. ‘The zeal he has displayed inthe discharge of his muitifarious duties Is the theme of universal praise; and as a memento of the esteem in which he is held by the commanders of steamboats, we understand it is contemplated by them to present bim with a silver pitcher, suitably inscribed, in token of their regard. Major Anderson, the successor of Capt. Ogden, in gentleman every vay worthy to succeed him Capt. Jack R, Everitt has given the name of Everitt- ation for a city which he has projected on the T 1 of the Rio Grande, opposite Mier. Steam- boat navigation to this point is unobstructed, and its proximity to «thickly populated and well cultivated section of Mexico,will give it advantages possessed by no other location which has yet been seleoted for a town on the west bank of the Rio Grande Besides its advan- tages in commercial point of view, the location is pictu- resque and healthy. and the surrounding country ex- ceedingly fertile. Directly opposite, on the Mexican ride of the river, are the Sulphur Springs, selected by Gon. Hopping for luis eneampment or * military school Everittville is destined to grow rapidly It will most assuredly command an extensive trade. and merchants and business men would be studying their intererts by directing their attention to it immediately. Goods shipped to the new city will meet with a ready sale, and b pt from the duty imposed by Seeretary Wal- ‘ ville to @ lo ker’ bill of abominations.’’ and its enterprising projector. Came Buena Vista, June 18, 1817, I arrived at Saltillo from Monterey on Friday at noon, in company with Gen Cushing and suite, and came out here tocamp in the afternoon, ‘The general comes to agsume command of his brigade, consisting of the ad Mississippi, Virginia, and North Carolina’ regiments The encampment really presents a most beautiful and picturesque appearance, spreading over a vast plain just faficiently inclined to enable the water to run off rupidiy. ‘The volunteer brigade is encamped according to regula- tion, and every tent and camp-tire is in its uppropriate lace, The artillery and dragoons are on the leit of the eid, Gen. Wool and staff in the centre, and the intantry brigade on the right. ‘the discipline of Gen. Wool is ex- tremely strict, and enforced; and discipline is nine points in the game, especially where voluutevra are concerned Company drills take place every morning, battalion and regimental drills every afternoon, and brignde reviews every Sunday As regards the climate, it suits me, being an Eastern man, toa degree—the aie being delightfully cool and bracing at all times, except during the micdly of the day for a few hours; « shower lays the dus. nl- most every afteruvon. with respect to the health of ths troops, I regret to say that tho Sussissippt aad N Carolina regiments are suffering seveMly, and have b for some time, frou chilis aad fevers aud diwerheoes, put principally the latter, The average vuaber of aeatte in each regiment is about three a dey for # fortuight; the sick list of the North Carolina regiment is now about Success to Everittyille 160—that of the Mississippi regiment anout 100. There are about 120 on the sick list of the Virginia regiment, but they are disorders that yiell readily to mesicine not oue death bas ovcurred during the turer weeks they have been up here ship gickuwss 18 uiaiily attr bute ble to the imprudence of the officers and men in eating too heartily of fruit, which abounds here now, and keep- ing up the practice after they are attacked.’ Recently Gen. Wool, has prohibited fruit from being brought in- to camp, and the beneficial effects of this proceeding have begun to be felt, the sick list decreasing gradually every day. It seems rather a hard matter to deprive the men of fruit, which if eaten in moderation would prove beneficial, but as the men will not take ct of them- selves they must be taken care of. It does really seem as if they required as much looking after as children. MInformation was received here not long since, that a forco was marching down uponjParras to occupy that place for the Purpose of preventing our forces here from dsawing supplies from that quarter. The inhabitants, dreadiog their own troops more than ours, dyspatched this intelligence, and a company of Texan rangers was sent to occupy the place and scour the country in its vicinity. A squadron of dragoons, under command of Capt. Rucker, and two pieces of artillery, were also des- patched to V.azapil, from whom intelligence was receiv- od yesterday that all was perfectly quiet. and they will be back here by the 20th. The Phonix Company of mounted cavalry, numbering about one hundred com- manded by Capt. Meera, late Neutenant-colonel of the Arkansas cavalry. are stationed in th» Palomos Pass, be- low Saltillo, to prevent a surprise from that quarter — Viekets are stationed on the road to Agua Nueva. and every vigilance is exercised to guard against any sudden movement in this direction, And now for rumors _[t is xeported that Urrea has goneto Matehualn, and that Minon’s cavalry aro on their 'way to Potosi, a smuli place about seventy-five miles froin hereon the San Luis route. It is also stated on good Mexican authority, that the troops which have been occupying San Luis, joined by 2000 from Zacate- cua, are on the march to the city of Mexico. Some degree of credit is attached to these reports, and they are not at all improbable. Various other reports are in circulation touching the movements of the enemy in this direction which are not generally credited or entitled to credit. Among the most important of these { may mention that Gen. Reys, or Raes, is said to be on the march for Sultillo with a force of 3000 strong, and that troops are moving on to Parras. From the re. sult of the reconnoissance of Captain Rucker, which | have noticed above, this latter report is undoubtedly false. Sunpay Nia, July 18, 1847 Since writing my letter of this morning, Captain Rucker has returned from his expedition to Mazapil, and confirms the report received from him. He found no troops there, but had every reason to believe that Minon’s cavalry (under whose command is not known) were at or in the neighborhood of Matehuala, An express was despatched by the Mexicans at Ma- zapil, immediately upon the approach of Capt R., to the enemy wherever he was, informing them of hia approach, that they might be cut off. Capt. R. saw nothing of them on his return, although | have no doubt it would have afforded him infinite satisfaction todoso. Information has been received from Parras to-day tothe effect that Don Manuel Ibarra had re- ceived an express two days since, announcing the approach of a body of upwards of 300 Indians, who had burned and destroyed three ranchos on their way, and killed threw hundred Mexicans. It is very likely that this report is correct, as it was known that @ large body of Indians were in the neighborhood. The num- ber of killed is probably greatly ated. 1 sus pect that the force at Pars, one comjany of Texans, will be increased. An extravrdinary sieaican express has arrived in town from San Luis Potosi, en route for some point west of the mouptains, but what its purport is, of course has not leaked out It is thought that a movement is on foot. ‘The arrival of this egpress is only known to a very few, but that a courier has arrived there is no doudt. A great portion of the supplies of corn, flour and cattle are derived from Parras, and you will be sur- prised to hear that an English house ‘there, claiming protection of the flag of their goverament, go into the market and buy up everything that we can want, fore- talling us completely, as they immediately demand higher and unreasonable rates, in some instances amounting to exorbitancy, such as our government never ought and probably’ will not pay. If they do not consent to take reasonable rates their produce ought to be seized, and their claims left to goversment to settle. The Mexicans who have produce to sell fear the puniahment of their own government if they supply our forces with provision, and actually pay certain English merchants there a heavy premium to have fthe sale made through them, or else sell them ut reduced prices. Corn brings now $3 a faneyi, and $16 is demanded for corn a carga, about 300 pounds ; ld is considered a fair price, but the speculators are seeking for $20, and will not sell for less. The wheat and corn crops are coming in well,and there is every prospect of un sbundaat crop. I neglected to mention that Maj Chevalie has nearly recovered from the effects of his fall. ‘The fit was occasioned by an overdose of camphor for a cramp cholic ARMY. The steamer Rainbow, Capt. Selleck, arrived yester- day, brought down from Baton Rouge, Capt. Sheppard and twenty-five men, belonging to the 8th regiment United States infantry, and landed them at the barracks. N. O.

The gentlemen who have recently arrived from Ore- gon, huve placed at our disposal a file of the Oregon Spectator, from March 4th, to April 29th, They are filled with discussions upon the relative merits of par- ticular routes of travel, and matters purely local in their character. We notice the appointment of J. Quinn Thornton, formerly of this State, and more recently of Quiney, I, to be Supreme Judge’ of Oregon territory, vice P. H. Burnet, resigned. William Hibbert, lately of Illinois, died at Oregon city on the 18th of March. An election was to be held on the first Mouday of June, for Governor, county officers. and members of the Legislature. A. L. Lovejoy is announced as a candidate for Governor. D. E White, Indian agent for the Oregon Territory, who was in the States in the early portion of last year, and took his departure for Oregon in July or Auguat. by the way of Panama, had not reached Oregon city, when these gentlemen left, and fears were entertained for his safety. We ought to have stated, yesterday, that, all the per- sons composing the family ofthe Donners, of Springfield, IM. perished in the California mountains last winter. Tho Orvgonians are determined to have a steam tow- boat. so that vessels may be brought up the Columbia river with safety. The currents are strong, and sail ves- sels cannot depend on the winds to stem the current The followtug Perritorial officers were elected by the Legislature :—Frederick Prige. Secretary ot the Terri tory ; Alonzo Skinner, Circuit Judge; H. M, Knighton, Marshal ; John H. Couch, Treasurer ; George W.

Lumber, tar, pitch, flax und hemp can be hereafter supplied, if a demand should be created f¢ hem. It asks for confirmation of locations already made, for grants of lands for educa- tional purposes, and for a steam tow-boat on the Colum- bia ; and recommends a railroad to the States, The wind blows down the river five months of the year, and vessels are said to be two months in sailing up one hun- dred miles, whilst the difficulty could be easily overcome by steam, and a large trade opened with the Pacific. Indian and American Cotton. [From the London News, July 6.) At the meeting of the statistical section of the British Association, on Monday, the 28th of June, a paper was read by Professor Royle, on the statisties of the cotton trade. As thisis a subject always of great importance, and now attracting great public attention, we have ob- tained the substance of the statements. ‘The paper was entitled “On the imports of Indian, as compared with the prices of American cotton,” and commenced by re- ferring to the extensive and expensive experiments which had been made by the East India Company for the im- provement of the culture and cleaning of cotton in India. He stated that the experiments in the north-west of India had failed from the excessive dryness of the seasons during which they had been made; but he still thought that cotton might be successfully cultivated in Bundiecund, and with the aid of irrigation, in the Ganges and Jumna Doab, asin the similar climate of Egypt, when the great canal now making is completed. One pinnter having been removed to Goruckpor, and an- other to Rungpore, no deficiency of moisture was ex- perienced, but the plants suffered, asin Broach, from the great power of the sun at the end of the rainy season, and from the depredations of innumerable insects. In the peninsula of India, on the contrary, the success has been considerable. In Tinnivelly, Mr. Hugheslong cul tivated Bourbon cotton; and Mr. Finnie is wow estab- lished there. Dr. White ascribes the superiority of cot- ton grown on the Coimbatone farms to the suitable ction of the sowing season, and to the valley par- ticipating in the rains of both monsoons. From 500 to 1,000 Iba. of seed cotton have been obtained from the Now Orleans seed, imported in 1840, This, he thinks, can be landed at Liverpool, costing about 3%¢d a pound, as the expenses of conveyance from Coimbatone to Cochin are not more than a \<d per pound, and must be loss from Tinnivelly to Tuticorin. He states that the Ryots only want ‘‘ purchasers and honest prices,’ and thata rise of only a ‘4d per pound in the local market would greatly extend the culture of cotton. It is an im- portant fact that the above cotton, sent to Liverpool to the extent of 34 bales, has been valued at 64d a pound, and considered equal to “fair New Orleans,” which was selling at the same price. In the Southern Mahratta country, especially near Dharwar, the culture has attained complete success un. der Mr. Mercer, the intelligent American planter, The natives, encouraged by the goverament experiments, where they saw that not ouly was more cotton produced per acre with New Orleans seed, but a better price ob- tained for every pound of cotton wool, even feom the weavers in the interior, extended their cultivation last year to about 30,000 acres, and have suceeeded in clean- ing this cotton by the improved saw gin; so that some of tho former years’ crop, to the extent of 162 bales, has been valued at Liverpool at 6d and 634d. Here the climate is considered by Mr. Mercer to be like that of America, and the ssed he found returning t Mexican character. Ie also states that t lance of land fitted for cotton culture, which pays from 8 to 14 annas per acre, and nothing is required but a regular demand to have the country covered with cotton ‘The Ryots sell their own cotton for 40 rupees « candy of 74ibs, which is about Lgdalb, Their New New Or- leans cotton they have sold for 66 rupees the candy; a further expense of 16 rupees wax incurred in conveying it by land and water to Bombay, making a total of 82 rupees. 207 bales of this cotton were sold at Bombay on the 20th of Mareh last, for 113 rupees per candy, and some for 120 rupees. At the same time that some cotton from Broach cotton, cultivated and cleaned in the same manner, sold for 125 rupees; and 12 bales grown by Mr. Blunt, at Julgaum, tor 132 rupves Indian cotton is known to be possaased of certain good qualities, such as its colour, the readiness with which it takes colour in dying, also swelling in the process of bleaching; both the latter effects are probably owing to ita being grown ina comparatively dry climate. Such being thy qualities of Indian cotton, it might be ex- pected that it would have been imported in increasing Instond of, a4 is usually stated, in anuually decreasing quantities Various causes have been assigned for the decrease Dr. Royle considered these ax undatiafactory and coutredictory, The chief cause which prevents the ready consumption of oot in our manufactures is the dirty «tate in which it is sent to market, The cultivator picks his cotton aarcleasly enough, but he sella it ina comparatively clean state to the Wakaria or mi-idie man who wishing to inecease the profits of his purchysw. do-# fo by fnerounog Its woteht wod invets a fail in prive by ® suit ther nduleeration with inferiur voi tou Olt DD reed. pevd, Une rand be In @rartdortog the statisties of the eotton trade, Dr. Roy 9 Ares relerred to the great fall whien b » yj riee ' wing f the former were 6%4 641 in 184s th © about 44d Liverpool for 4% A, Utintn fe balued ot Bowl bout Uhe swan y With reference to the statement that a gradual de- crease had taken place in the imports of Indian cotton, the author observed that this did not appear, if we took an average of every five years, in order to get rid of the irregularities of occasional and to observe only the in- fluence of permanent causes. Thus the average ii of the five years previous to 1826 were 39,697 in 1844 not less than 238,438 bates, though the average sunk to 185,119 in 1846, but will no doubt rise again during 1847 But, in observing the imports of individual years, great discrepancies were observed and clearly shown in the diagrams which were exhibited; and in which, after the fashion of meteorological tables, the average prices of both Indian and of American cottons were given from the year 1806 to 1846, together with the imports of both for the same years. In these curves, distinguished by different colours, it was seen, that as the quantities of the American imports had increased, so the prices had decreased, with the exception of 1525, when there was a rapid increase, followed by as sudden a fall; and again from 1833 to 1836. ‘The imports of Indian cotton were shown to have followed a different course. Thus, the high prices of 1803 and °9 were followed by an arrival in 1810 of nearly 80 000 bales, having been ouly about 15,000 in 1803. So in 1818, about 250,000 bales were imported in consequence of the high prices from 1814 to 1817, though the imports had ouly been about 3,600 bales in 1816 Again. the high prices of 1886 were accompanied with an import of nearly 220,000 bales, and the low prices of 1333 sunk the import to 102.000 bales. The only ex ceptions Observable are during the Chinese war, when large import of Indian cotton took place, as much 274,000 bales. in 181, but that year the export cutton from Bombay to China were diminished to extent of about 30 millions of pounds It thus appears that tho irregularity of the trade is much more conspicuous than either increase or decrease, and thes» casual supplies in increased quanties are only obtuinable, because immense quantities of cotton are ways required for the consumption of the natives them- selves, and some for export to China. If it were not for the great internal consumption, no increased supply would ever be obtained when sudden demands are made in consequence of the sudden rise in price of American cotton, {tis this irregularity of demand, accompanied with great uncertainty of price, which chiefly limits cultivation as well as more careful picking and cleaning on the part of the Ryot, who, though requiring to grow acertain quantity of cotton for his regular rotation of crops, is otten unwilling to do so from the uncertainty of a purchaser; while he can readily sell any quantity of grain which he may grow. The little cot on he does «row is generally sold by advances to the village banker or Wakaria. Kor these advances he pays from 24 to 30 per cent af interest. The English merchant at Bombay is unable to make any arrangement with the cuttivator, for he depends upon orders and prices from this coun- try; and these, it is well known. depend upon the Ameri- cin corps, the state of exchange, ke. So that when an order does come .he buys what is in the market, say of Bombay, without the cultivator being at all benefited Dr Royle concluded his observations by stating that, as the cultivation in the west and in central India was ilfully conducted by the natives, the cotton of good quality, and the price moderate, it required only the in- ‘tment of capital by those interested in the impro ment and extension of the cotton culture of India, #0 that the cotton, as grown, might at once be bought and cleaned by Mercer's improved saw-gin, Great improve- ment would thus certainly take place, and the Ryot be encouraged to increase his cultivation, which he is every- where ready todo, ifa purchaser can’ be found for his produce at fair prices. By such means, Dr. Royle was of opinion, that cotton enough might be obtained from India to keep in check the price of American cotton.
