500 bushels of corn, and 2455 bushels of barley
Soaking s total of 949^54 bushels of grain
passing our light boose during twenty-four
hours.

haps, no parallel in the history of the world.
* Nearly a million of bushels, mainly wheat,
were poured in in twenty-four hours.

The br gVeineo from Vera Cruz, whieh is
now ashore at the S. W. Pass of the Mississip-
pi confirms the report of the final condemnation
and confiscation of the Spanish bark Maria
Concepcton, by the authorities at Vera Cruz.
The commadder of the Spanish war steamer
Yelasco demanded the immediate restitution of
the condemned vessel and the payment of dam-
ages, otherwise the city of Vera Cruz would at
once be bombarded. As compliance with this
demand bad been formally declined, and the
last note ws conceived in the most perempto-
ry lerms, its contents were at once commnni-
¿>eated to Capt. Jarvis, of the U. S. sloop-of-
war Savannah, and flag officer of the Home
Squadron. Capt. Jarvis passed a note to the
Spanish Commodore, In which he not only con-
demned bis course but concluded with declar-
ing, as the report says, "that be would consid-
er the first shot fired upon Vera Cruz as a shot
fired npon the American Squadron."
In consequence of this note all further action
in the matter was suspended.
The New OrWss papers o Uin still further
accounts of the efcet of tbe U* storm, hex-
tendedas fSr as Canton, Mississippi, which is
the most distant point yet heard from, at the
telegraph wires sredown, and the Jackson rail-
road brrkenKp. The gale was the most vio-
lent of the season f bat, although the destruc-
tion of property was great, but few lives ap-
pear to have been lost.
The damage at the month of the Mississippi
was not so great as in the previous storms,
consisting mainly in the blowing ashore of sev-
eral fishing smacks, and the falling of trees
and fences belonging to different plantations.
At Mobile, although the wind was strong and
the tide b:gh, but little damage was dime.
In the sugar region of Louisiana the injory
is great. The cane is prostrated, and sugar
houses blown down, and the machinery broken
op and rendered unfit for use. Three sugar
houses were blown down in the parish of Little
Callón, fire in Terrebonne, five in Bayou Black,
and nineteen,^ Lafourche, aa far as reported.
Twenty-oné coal boats were sunk in the vi-
cinity of Baton Rouge; also the steamboat
Henrietta, and a number of barges. In the
town of Baton Rouge, no damage to any con
siderable amount occurred, except the unroofing
of the Harney House. No damage was sus-
tained by any of the numerous villages along
the coast, though several sugar hotis ;s were
blown over in the neighborhood of each.
The Delta says that the Parishes of St Ber
nard, Plaquemines, Lafourche Interior, and Ter
rebonne, never before received such a visitation.
The greater part of Plaquemines parish was
submerged by the overflow of the Gulf; Point-
a-la Ilace was almost entirely ruined ; and
the ruin and distress were general everywhere
below the city and near the Gulf.
A note from a planter on Jones' Creek, s<>m<¡
twelve miles from Baton Rouge, says that the
heaviest loss is in the cotton crop. The stalk
is completely stripped of the open cotton. The
corn is flat on the ground, an J the da na> «* to
stock is great. The mads and won*!- i«- lull
of fallen timber. The can.? liy b -iiijj prorat-
ed, is seriously endangered. Every joint that
touebes the gr-mn-l, if tbe wetther continues
warm, will ?«>oii throw out rootlets ami com-
mence to grow, destroying all the saccharine
properties of the cane, ami rendering it useless
in the present crop.
The vinfence of the wind was the cause of
delay to the trains on the Jackson Road, from
Jackson to Frenier station, creating the appre-
hension that the best cotton district, at least of
Mississippi, has felt the full force of the storm
experienced in this city and vicinity.
We have already reported the main incidents
of the storm about New Orleans-
The damage by the fall of Mr. Tulane's build-
ings on Camp street is estimated at sixty or sev-
enty thousand dollars. Dr. McPherson's drug
store is a complete loss, and is estimated at fif-
teen thansand dollars. A house on Claiborne
street was blown down.
The rise of tne water in the lake oversowed
all that part of the rear oi" the First and Sec-
ond Districts between thn two canals (about a
mile) and between the rear settlements and ihe
ridge (about a mile and a half.) The water
was from two to three feet deep on the shell
roads.
The U. S. Marine Hospital, the Hotel Dieu,
Dr. Stone's Hospital,Claiborne market,aud the
whole of the large residential district beyond
Claiborne street, were entirely encompassed by
the water. The scene was similar to that of the
great crevasse of 1849, Those who lived in
two-story houses were going to and fro in skills,
wading, poling along on rafts, etc., the hun-
dreds and huudreds of jioor families living in
one-story houses were :u the gi en test distress,
moving in boats and in wa<rons hub-deep iu the
water.
The Mreets, were inundated as far in as Clai-
borne. Rut many of the streets we'e canals of
water, reaching in as far as Rampart street.
Not to sjieak of the great damage done to the
homes and garden-patches of thousands of peo-
ple, the city and its contractors are very heav-
ily injured. All the shell roads were entirely
under water.
A crevasse occured at the levee tui the lower
side of ihe Old, or Carondelet Canal, Mr. Pilie,
the City Surveyor, and his assistants, and a
gang of latxirers, went earnestly to work, and
the crevasse was stopped With bags of dirt, Um-
bers, an-1 loose ntudv Out whilst the breach
existe<V>t flooded a lAge part of the city, as
far in as Miro street, and as Car lown as the
Bayou Road.
The Metairie Road was under water all the
truj rmnrBaynu Bridge to tlie Half-way House
nn the upper Canal, and some ol the cemetries
were badly flooded.
The distance between the waters of the lake
and river was not over three fourths of a mile.
At Carrollton the steamer Silver Heel was
sunk.
Much anxiety is felt to hear how far the
storm extended on the Gulf, and whether it
reacbetT to the Atlantic.
The brig Vines from Vera Cruz, has arrived
at New Orleans, and reports heavy gales from
Sept 24 to Oct. 2, when slie arrived at Belize
iu the hurricane.
' Florida.—We hare some scattering returns
of the State election in Florida. In Essambia
coutfty, Hopkiqp, the Union candidate for Gov-
ernor, had 396 rotes, and Aulton, the Demo-
cratic nominee 151; for Congress, Allen,
Union,399 ; Hilton, Democrat 172. For the
Legislature the results were about the same.
In fire precincts'in-Santa Rosa, Hopkins 320 ;
Milton 171 ; Alen 201, Hilton 202. Fernandina,
in Nassan county, gires Milton a majority over
Hopkins of 150; also Hilton, for Congress, a
majority over (Allen of 155. Baldwyn and
President, in Duval county, give the Breckin
ridge candidates a majority over the Opposi
tion.
In the Pensacola Observer, of the 3d, we find
partial returns from the adjoining county of
Santa Rosa, "the Whig banner county of Flo-
rida," which would seem to indicate that the
Opposition have lost there about as much as
they hare gained in Essambia. These returns
.show Hilton, Breckinridge candidate for Con-
gress, to be one vote ahead of Allen.
Thx-Losdok Cabmen have a "Sabbath Rest
Association," whose title sufficiently indicates
its object. The whole expenses of the society
for the year fast were only about $5*0. The
London caiyaeu, •> class, are very sober and
orderly men, and this movement, originated by
themselves, is exceedingly .«teresting.

The Agricultural Capacity of
Western Texas.
Tbe common reason given why there is no
more cultivation of the soil in Western Texas
is, that drouths are common to the country.—
But that is not satisfactory to tbe practical
agriculturalist, who sees luxuriant grasses
growing there every year, upon what is univer-
sally admitted to be tbe richest kind of soil,
knowing as be does that there is no crop culti-
vated by the farmer, which requires more rain
than grass.
No prairie country can be free from drouths;
but some soils sro better adapted to such cir-
cumstances than others. Where the soil cracks
very much, showing the effects of drouth more
plainly, which is the case in Western Texas,
tbe casual observer attributes it to tbe extent
of tbe drouth, without considering at-tbe same
time, the indication of an extensive capacity in
tbe soil toabsorb water in a wet time and im-
part it to vegetation when dry.
Observing this capacity, and being anxious
to see to what extent it prevailed, 1 took ten
pounds of the most prevalent sub-soil in tbe
country, which underlies what is termed "hog-
wallow prairie," partially dried, and added to it
by degrees, six and a half pounds of water. In
the space of fifteen minutes every drop was ab-
sorbed, showing conclusively, that tbe tenden-
cy of the soil to crack is due to the large
amount af water in it, and not the extent of the
drouth, as some other kinds of soil in tbe same
vicinity do not crack at all, however severe the
drouth. "
If we look still further, we shsll plainly see
the trae reasons why such a beautiful country,
with a climate so delightful, is not more exten-
sively cultivated.
In the first place, it is situated on the borders
of civilization, consequently has been subject
to savage invasions more or less, until quite re-
cently. In the next place, the business of stock
raising is, and will be,so much more profitable
than any other business can be,nntil the amount
of stock in the country shall require more than
the spontaneous growth of grass, that the pre-
sent inhabitants are inclined to f vor the reports
circulated in other parts of the great West,
that Western Texas cannot be cultivated to ad-
vantage. Tbe stock raisers evidently think it
good policy to discourage emigration, as every
acre of land fenced and cultivated curtails their
range.
A person who hears these prejudical reports
from the numerous speculators and their agents
in other parts ot the West, notwithstanding
the verdict of bis better judgment when he sees
the country will be prepared to receive the tes-
timony of the actual settlers, and the cracks in
the soil, and convincing testimony against it,
without considering the latter to b e direct and
positive in its favor; for if there were not a
large quantity of water in tbe soil at some time
in the year, it conld not shrink and crack, as it
does at any other time by the long absence of
rain.
That Oiere is plenty of rain during the year,
for the production of one good crop at least, no
one will deny, which is all that should be re-
quired of any land in any climate; then all
there is to do is to properly prepare the soil,
and plant at a proper tune, which may be easi
ly ascertained. A farmer from the North must
consider the difference of climate and soil, as
indicating the necessity of a corresponding dif-
ference in his practice. Seeds should be plant-
ed much deeper where the soil is warmer below
than at the surface, which is frequently the case
at the proper time for planting in this country,
there net being winter enough to cool the soil
as it has been warmed by tbe compara-
tively long and hot summers.
Tbe soil should also be cultivated much deep-
er ; it being richer below than on the surface,
tbe operation of the sun and rain for so long a
had the effect on the prairie lands to
dMpate the gases and drench the salts from
the surface, while tbe cracks in the soil admit
all tbe dry grass and other vegetable matter
under tbe influence of the wind in a dry time,
and the water when rainy. The rains then
gradually cíese the cracks, and secure the rich
spoils of vegetable matter which the wet and
dry aeaaona have conspired to plunder from the

COMMERCIAL.
Satttrdat, October 6th, 1860.
Our last weekly statement of tbe Liverpool
cotton market was dated Sept. 14. Tbe sales of
cotton for tbe «reek ending that date amounted
to 116,000 bales, of wbicb speculators took
25,000, and exporters 9,500.
Tbe steamer Glasgow brings five days later
news, and reports tbe sales since September 14,
amounted to 22,000 bales. Tbe market closed
steady at previous prices.
Tbe following were the quotations at tbe end
of tbe week, as authorized by tbe Rrokers
Circular :
Fair Orleans..7J^d. Middling Orleans.6J£d.
Fair Mobile. ..7j^d. Middling Mobile.-SJ^d.
Fair L'plauds..7d. Middling Uplands.6%d.
The quantity of cotton in the port of Liver-
pool sums up 995,000 bales, of which 735,000
are of American production.
G alvkston.—The Market bas been well sus-
tained during the week with a slight advance,
the higher grades of Cotton commanding full
figures, a brisk enquiry ; inferior grades are
not much enquired for, but maintain last week's
quotations. The receipts of cotton for the week
have been 4,107 bales; and exports amount to
2,454 bales : and the sales to 2,735 bales. We
quote:

at the recent advance, but owing to limited and

have Leeu received during the week ; while the

Cotton—To-day holders have claimed still fuller
prices, and with a poorly assorted stock offering, tbe
business has again fallen off to about 6000 balea, mak-
ing a total for the week of 54,500 bales, the market
closing firm at the range of our amended quotations

ltullway:
OFFICE OF THE G. It it H. R. R. CO.,i
Galveston, 3d October, 1860. ¡
T TNDERSTANDING from many of our Merchants,
LJ tliut their correspondents complain, that Goods
sent by tliis Road to be forwarded over the Central
Road, are detained at our Houston Depot, in con-
sequence of the inability of our Agent there to
procure drays to carry the freight to the Central Road ;
and believing that such report, if suffered to go uncon-
tradicted, is calculated to have a very injurious effect
on the business of our Road, induces me to take this
means of assuring those interested, that in no instance
since the opening of this Road, has freight been detain-
ed at our Depot twenty-four hours after its reception,
from want of facilities to transfer it to the Central
Road. On Saturday last, however, we were compelled
to suspend receiving freight, destined for points on the
line of the Central, because our Warehouses here aud
at Houston, and all our Ilousa Cars were filled, aud
the Central Road unable to carry it, or receive it,
from us. We shall continue to send our drays to the
latter Road, daily, and use our l*st efforts to send our
freight forward as rapidly as the Central Company
will receive it. I fear, however, that Merchants in the
interior, are doomed to serious Inconvenience, if not
loss, from these unexjiected delays—as, from the accu
mutation of Merchandise at this place, it would appear
improbable, with the present facilities for transporta
tion, that it will reach its destination at a very early
day. The Warehouses of our Forwarding Merchante
are full to overflowing ; and I understand the Wharf
at Houston, ia also crowded with Goods, carried up by
the Houston Steam Boat Company;—all awaltiug
transportation over Die Central Itoad.
I embrace ibis opportunity to say, that this Couipa
ny is prepared to carry, daily, and deliver u ith quick
des)>atch, at the depots of the Contra! anil other Roads
connecting with ours, five times the quantity of freight
that lias yet passed over this Road io any one day ; and
if delays occur, they should not attributed to any
neglect of ours ; nor to our inability to carry all tlie
freight consigned to us.
1 regret tliat I cannot suggest a remedy for the ex-
isting state of things, other than the connection of this
Road with the Central, and which, at present, is im-
practicable. A. F. JAMES,
oct4:d2t:wl. President.

Without further Dressing.
The gin power used oy planter* is perfectly adapted
to drive the Exoelsior Mill, as also tlie ordinary end-
less chain horae power in use by farmers, and for sale
at tbe above agency.
From actual experiment, made with Wheeler's End-
less Chain Power, we are prepared to say, that with
one horse. Three Bushels of Jine Indian ileal per
hour, can be ground from the hardest com, which
is equal to the work or four and a half feet flat stone
Mill, under an eight feet head of water on a horizon-
tal wheel. These are facts wortliy the attention of
Planters, Farmers and millers.
With flve-horse steam power, the Excelsior Mill will
grind from six to eighteen bushels of corn per hour,
according to fineness. It is only thirty-six inches long,
eighteen wide andeighteen high, weighs three hundred
pounds. It is in use in several States, giving perfect
satisfaction, bringing us orders, and such flattering
testimonials as lead us to believe tliat it will supersede
all other Mills as soon as its real value is known.
The Prices will be as Follows:
For a Mill, with bolt, that will make the best
quality of flour, incomplete running order...
