ANEw O.jaVs, Sept. 12. Lates from Teras.-The steamer Sa rab Burnes. Captain Franklin, arrived yesterday from Galveston. From ihe pa penswhich she brought we make the rot wing synopsis of news: The Texan re venue cutter Santa An na, from Matamoras, has brought despat ches from Mexico. Their contents are are not publicly known, but it Is believed they give ground to anticipate a peace favorable to Texa. Col. Warleld has arrived at Washing . ton, and reports, that after following the traders some distance on the Santa l''e road. be ascertained that they had formed ajunction with the army, and as they numbered five or six hundred, and he had only sixty men, he deemed it prudent to return to the settlements, % hich lie effec ted wtb safety. The colonel expresbes himself to be familiar with the country, and that the command of Col. Saively has also arrived in Fannin county a few weeks since. He isabout to publisha re port of the whole expedition. The British sloop of war Scylla return ed to Galveston from Vera Cruz, on the 28th uIt. She brought, as is reported, depatches for the B ritish Mioister. at Galveston.. It is learned by reports which she brought, that the Texan prisoners are to be marched to the Rio Grande in a bo dy, and there liberated. We hope this may prove to be true, but we have doubts of its authenticity. The Commissioners who went out for the purpose of forming a treaty with the Indians. had not been heard of for some days. It was feared the Indians would play them false. They failed to meet them in two places--at La Grange and Bird's Fort. * The crop of Cotton on the Colorado and the Caney is abundant.

The unpropiteous seasonl for planting the injury sustained by nue Cotton in its early growth, and its consequent back y'ardoess--the influenco these circum stances have upon the prouuction of al plants, not excepting this. renders it im possible wyithotut taking in vie w the chances oflan early frost, that a full crop of Gottor can he made, and shr~w indeed, that it w ill he very much less than the crop of Iast year. If the crop he but 1,800,000O bales, there mast he considerable improvemet in prices. and the prospects of the planter are cheering and should not be hastily thrown away by a too precipitate rush into the market. And when tho vast in crease in the consumption which has lately taken place (the necessary consequence of low prices.) is constdered, is it unreasona ble to expect that the prices of Cotton will go to 10, to 12 cents. or even higher ? 'The great increase in this crop arose in a mess from the large quantity of the preri eserop held back. B.ea' fMare.-The agent of Mr. Bommer -a here a few days ago, and had a heap constructed in Mr. liussell's vegetable garden.

Withont being sangnine in our expec tations that this system of making manure will prove to be of great benelit in t'.Je South, we think. nevertheless, that it hat snicient testimony in its favor to rendet it worthy of investigation on the part of planters.
