Affairs In Texas. RAVIGATION OF THE COLORADO—TRAGEDY AT RUSK— s hoger pa Towa cige rae From the fouston uly We ie happy to learn that the efforts that have Deep made by a number of the most enterprising elci- zens in the Colorado vi to procure funds to remove the raft in that river. are likely to be entirely success- ful. The raft is considered difficult to remove than was at first expected, and many are c ot tbat the expense of zomoving will not exceed twenty thousand dears. When obstruetion is removed the river will probably be navigable thro: ut the year as far as the shoals near Celambus, ai ‘hen these are removed it may be rendered navigable as far as La Gran The shoals in Colorado are formed ebiefly by ledges of soft sand stone, which may be easily ited. The only difficulty to be appre- hended is this, that the removal of one shoal by causing ‘the surface of the river to fall above, may bi other shoals to the view that are now coneesled. Forta- nately, however, as the bed of the river where these shouls may be found is com: d of soft sand stone, they can be removed with little difficulty, and when ‘the water is confined to @ narrow channel, the depth may be sufficient to allow a steamer of light draft to run throughout the year. We are pained to announce that Mr. Rufus Chandler was killed on Sunday morning, the 10th ult., in the street of Rusk, by General Joseph L. Hogg. The Rusk Pioneer furnishes the following account of this lamen- table tragedy :— ‘Some five or six months ago,a diffeulty occurred here between these two men which came near re- * sulting fatally. From that time until the time of the Killing, General Hi was n@& known to make his appearance in town. mn Sunday moraing, just after suprise, Mr. Chandler was porting from his office to the tavern; in doigg which he had to pass at a right angle with a long fow of buildings on the street; just fe bo passed the back end vf these bull , from a distance of about thirty steps, Gen. Hogg fired upon him a double barrelled shot gun, which felled him to the ground; three other shots were then fired at him as ‘ay, literally tearing him te pieces. Gen. Hogg, with two or three other men, armed with double-barrelled shot guns, and who were with him at the time of the firing, immediately left town. He has since sent word into town that he was willing to give himself up and submit to the law, provided his person could be secure from @ mob. In the death of Mr, Chandler, the commu- nity bas lost a highly esteemed and useful mao; and kis friends bave sustained a loss which canuot be aired. In point of talent he stood high; in honesty, integrity and morality, he was scarcely excelled. Some zo he came to this place, from the army in lotbeless and penniless, a long way from his hative State. (Maine) sud ina land of strangers. By 4 course of untiring perseverance, industry aud devo- tion to his profession as a lawyer, he was fast gainiog distinction and reputation at th» bar.”” During the yeur 1838, the Rio Grande ehanged its ebannel, and now flows several miles soutn- westward of its former course. The oid channel still carriesa stream of +mail size, sluggish and shallow. The Mexicans call it Rio Puerco, or Dirty River. The ieland, formed by the mutation, is probably twenty-five miles in length, ‘and from eight to ten in breadth. El Presidio de San Eleuzario, Socorro, and Isleta, are the names of three villages standing upon it. The first, as its name indi- cater, is the site of a fort which is built of adohes (sua dried brick) Itis at present unoccupied. The Mexi- ean government formerly bad a garrison there. When the Missourians under Doniphan approached the place, during the late war, the invincibles of the magnani- mous nation sloped. The houses are of the same mate- rial as the fort—in general, small and low. A pig pen, with, sometim an one small porker ti by the neck, er hard by him, ‘an enclosure for goats nd a stable, are all in proximity to In close con- tiguity . the vineyard and garden. The grapes ara fine—they ripen in August, The El Paso wine is made of th Pear, peach, and other fruit trees, grow in everv “rection about town. Pears are ripe in Ser*ember—are dried and constitute an article of traf. fic. The better class of citizens have fleldsin the vici- nity of the town, where wheat, Indian corn, beans and like articles are grown. Flour is four dollars per bushel, Indian corn the same price; frijolis (beans) one dollar andabalf. The vineyards and fields are irrigated; for this purpose large ditehes are cut and pass through every streetin town, The levee, erected for preserving the ‘villages from inundation during high water, fre- quently gives tig A ‘The Mexicans say this is caused by the river being higher than the towa—probably not £0. The produetiveness of the soil is lessened by small ralt marshes, which found scattered, in great num- Der, in the flelds a1 ineyards. Don Iguacio Contre- ras, a well informed Bhd clever Mexican, affirms that sue as not the case, before the river formed a new bed for itself. He furthermore says, that the place is more subject to disease than previously. Chills, con+ re tive and bilious fevers, visit them every season. he T <¢ matic affections are prevalent. inbabitants are friendly to strangers, and ex- well disposed towards the government of the United states; th y are citizens of the confederacy bye choice, They have been informed of the claim Texas sets up to the country, and are auxious theState should extend the laws over them. They are quite inquisitive in relation to our laws—ask that tl be trans- Jated and sent to them. Their alcaldes pointed by authority of the United States government. The elealde bas a sberiff and other inferior officers, who are charged with the execution of hisorders. It is the Dbounden duty ofthe next Legislature to make some evactment in favor of these people. The twe other towns are very similar in every way to the one de- scribed. San Eleazario is twenty miles below El Paso ; Socorro and Isleta lie absve the former. The population of the three is four thousand or up- ward ‘he Apaches make forays upon them, and car- ry off every thing they can lay their hands on.

But where we have seen whole fields of healthy cotton two axd # half and three feet in height, well limbed, and covered with blooms, and then suddenly change to where it would scarcely average ten inches high and but few blossoms, we might well say there is very poor cotton. In corn, we are also very far ahead; our whole fields are of that dark, | healthy looking green which is generally found on good | land. and shows that our planters attend to their land, without suffering it to become impsverished, for want of attention in replacing, through some means, what | had been taken from it. Another advantage, we think, isto be found in the fact, that our planters generally carry on an extensive system of drainage. which has | alwiys proved a benefit. Mavy of the fields, in other districts through which we passed, were completely in- undated and where this is the case the planters must suffer, and in cotton particularly. The St. Francisville (La) Chronicle, of the 14th inst., says:—The weather hereabouts has been anything but agreeable for some duys past Some of our planters complain that they have not had sufficient rain, while others have had more than is necessary. The crops, both sugar and cotton, look remarkably Well, all things considered. peller, of the 25th inst., says:—The q ach the potatoes, and unless speedi- ly followed by heavier showers. this necessary esculent will be scarce and dear again for the coming year. The New Orleans Picayune, of the 18th ins! ys: — We have been informed that Messrs. Maunsel Whit & Co. yesterday sold “Old Zack's” cottonat eight conts per pound, reund. This we consider a tip-top price, and we are glad it is so as he is one of the greatest suf- ferers by the late overflow. The Winchester Virginian, of the 25th inst. says:— We are beginning to be scorched by persisting dry weather. The pastures and corn suffer greatly; in- deed, if ratn do not come soon, the latter crop will be seriously curtailed. We hear of showers at distant oints, but none of any account visit our neighbor- Booa. ‘The corn on the famous South Branch bottoms, | now suffering greatly, cannot, we are told, under any circumstances, make more than half a crop.

M, The bears have things all their own way in Wall street among the fancies, Nearly every stock in the list fell off fraction to-day, and the market closed heavy. When such a state of thiogs exists, with mo- ney at four per cent, and plenty at that rate, what are we to expect when money gets to be worth seven and eight per cent? That question can be more easily an- swered by the bears than the bulls. The bulls have, within the past day or two, been making desperate ef- forts to sustain fancies, An effort wasmade by a party or parties, located not#far from the Directors’ room of the Erie Railroad Company. to withdraw two thousand shares of Erie railroad stock from the market, for the pur- pose of putting up prices.

The Recent Arsault on the Servant of the Mexican Minister—An, Investigation into the Afair, and the Result. — * , & It is already kaown that on the night if the 17th inst., between ten and eleven o'clock, @ violent agéault was made upon Manuel! Paralti, a servant in the house of Senor Rosas, the’ Mexican’ Mi- nis » near this government. On ‘Thursday, ‘the police’ arrested Henry Pleasants, a messenger in the Department ot the Interior, and Edward Hall, a hack driver, both colored, as being the guilty parties; and yesterday an examination was com- menced in the court house, before Justices God- dard and Grubb, to elicit all the facts connected with the affuur, Mr. Rosas, the day after the oc- currence, addressed Mr. Clayton, the Secretary of State, a letter, asking for an investigation, and said he was desirous of knowing whether or not Paralit: was in fault. Accordingly, Mr. Feadall, the United States District Attorney, was directed to attend. Mr. Carlisle appeared for Pleasants, and Mr. Radclifie for Hnil, whose case was the first proceeded with. ‘Two negro girls and a yel- low man, the coachman of General Jesup, were examined, and their combined testimony simply amounted to this—that Hall had stopped with his hack near the comer of F and Thirteenth streets, and but a hundred yards from theMinister’s resi- dence; that he w: several yellow girls te ride with him, and th refused 5 that, subsequently tnere appeared to be five men near the hack, anda woman, who endeavored. to restrain Hall fro: throwing a stone at somebody, as he violent threatened, and a voice was heard saying » You threw snuff in my face;” that, the “Spanish man,” Sista, the steward, was there, and struck H. the hack driver, a violent blow with his fist, hard enough to kill him, and that Hall was not seen to resent it. Afterwards, the steward absented him- self, and returned with a companion, (Paralti, and something like a fuss was going on, a a strange pimeney Neither of the Mexicans could speak English. The fact that Hall and Pleas sants were on the premises was fully proven, bat nothing tending to criminate the latter; and on this round, Mr. Carlisle eloquently argued for his re- lease from custody; but the Justices refused the ap- plication, because all the testimony had not been neard, Pleasants gave bail for his appearance this morning, and Hall was remanded to jail. Further peneecl sie were dispensed with, to enable the district Attorney to procure the attendance of Sista, who was with his unfortunate companien when he was assaulted, andis the steward of the Mexican M Feeney bh i ; ccording to the testimony of Dr. Frederick May, when called in to Paralti, he found him in.the garret room, his garments dreached with blood; and he must have lost at least two quarts of blood. The pulse was nearly gone, and the skull fractured from two and a half to three inches in diameter. The broken fragments were driven into the brain. A piece ef bone, as round and large as a shilling, was knocked out of the centre. The man Was in the deepest distress, and insensible ; snored hea- vily, and had a rattling in h throat. The bone was raised all around, and relief directly followed ; the pulse became stronger, and on the next day it had fallen from a hundred and forty beats aminute to ninety-five or ninety-six. Although the condi- tion of the man is much improved, he is in a eriti- cal state, inflammation of the brain being feared. The doctor remarked that he had never seen a worse fracture for a man to live. To-day, at noon, the examination was resumed. ‘The first witness questioned was Sista, the stew- ard of the Mexican minister; and through an in- Parpreier, he said that— He was coming from Pennsylvania avenue on the night of the 17th instant, towards his home; snd, on reaching the corner where the store is, he saw three men near @ carriage; in passing, one of the forward, and laid his hand on and held him; the others said something, but he did not understand them, not Deing acquainted with the English langnage; he bo- Heved that the man who put bis hand on him was Hall; he did not know Pleasants, and has an acquaintance with Thomas, but he was not of the three; one of them said one or two words in Spanish; Sista did not recol- leet wi words in Spanish were; he requested the man to let him go. but, not doing #0, he (Sita) struck him and knocked him down; he then went home, he saying nothing to the men, nor they to him; afterwards he went out with Paralti (the wounded man) to pur- chase segars, but did not go into the store, because he saw the men waiting for bim there; he thinks there were four, but one held himself aloof; they a and bad not prone more than eight paces, when a tiraid that the men were following him and his com- panion; Sista and Paralti stopped for the men to come up; Paralti asked them, in English, what they wanted. /nstead of answering. they began to stone him; the same man who atruck Paralt!, throw two stones at the witness, which he golgsd, Another of the party gt cs Laie ae I ey 77 ke bag aps arm; be did not know who struck [aralti, but the person passed fowr or five times before the minister's house previous- ly; he looked like Vleasants; after the seeond stono Was thrown, Varalti started witness running after the othe: ing the ‘opposite eor on Paralti sitting on teps, head; the wi did not see women were thrown; Paraiti, in reply to said that the men did strike head, as he was iu pursuit an bour after, he contraticted this, and e had bi ruck; he was ii w dirt, about two fame man (Hall) thet, in ards from the gutter, the the first instanee, took hold Tha testimony appeared to be alittle contradictory, and the witness, although further questioned aud cross- questioned, did not throw much light on the subject. Mr Exexios Simms said that on the night of the as- sault, he saw three coloured men opposite the window of Mr. Joyce; this was about » quarter before ten; after he had been in his chamber half an hour (the houre adjoins that of the Mexioon Minister) he heard — strike «frame house, known a4 the carpenter's al Constaus Cranes (eolored) the eoachman of the Mexison Minister, saw Hall on that evening, at six O'clock; Hall passed by the house, and looked into the dining room window; one of the servants asked bim what be wanted; he said nothing; Hall passed by a dozen steps aud thea returced; he repeatedly passed the min! house; the witness stayed in the minis- (rlcek; be then bade steward) was re-enlled, fom. said that Hail As say ot the maa wi! ly passed the miaister's house: yes tee tine who did pass, was the one who vtrack Paralti; Sita War sitting in the bavmeut dining room with the ead (Clark) when the man fooked in at the jennes were interrogated as to the color m by Hall, on Teenday might. the thas The evidence was contradictory.
