It is not generally known tho im-
value of the water .privileges
afforded by the San Marcos, the Coiual,
Hamilton's Creek, and tho great Falls
of the Qolorado. The abovo mentioned
four localities present advantages, sel-
dom to bo found so intimately combined.
Here, witli inexhaustible water power
to drive any quantity of machinery,
we have the lands to produce all the
cotton they require without the trouble
Or expense of bailing, shipping, com-
pressing and without the charges at-
tendant of shipment surh as freight,
insurance, handling, wharfage, and the
endless etceteras to bo found in bills of
charges furnished" by our New York
merchants to our planters—as tho cot-
ton could be sent direet finm tho fields
to tho gin and factory. Besides this,
innumerable flocks of sheep could be
raised in the immediate vicinity of
these points, while at tho same time
wo could supply tho factories with tho
raw materials, wo could produce the
breud and meat in tho immediate vicin-
ity to support the operatives ; and,
what is quito as essential, we have a
home market to absorb all tho produc-
tions of a reasonable number of mills.
Let those avho ore about investing their
means in manufactures in the Northern
States, turn their attention to Texus,
.and examine for themselves tho Super
ior advantages we can offer, and we
arc satisfied that they will give the.
above named points tho decided prefer
ence.
To show the immense advantages re-
sulting on tho establishing of cotton
factories in Texas, wo give tho estima-
ted charges on a bale of cotton from
tho timo it is ginned until it is mj!<1 in

there will be an additional saving of at
loast ouo cent and a half a pound in the

would be an additional profit to the en-
terprising manufacturer, who would es-
tablish a manufactory of Cotton goods

Robukkiks.—Several robberies have
been committed in the course of the
week. Each morning would aoora to
furnish the details of a fresh one.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, two in
dividual wore robbed, in difloreiit parts
of tho town, of all tho monoy they had
about them. Pistols were presented,
and tho partios ordered to Btand and
deliver on puin of deu'th. Tho command
and threat bcinp uttered in English, wo
question much if.the perpetrators were
" Mexicans from across tho Rio Orando,"
as suggested by a correspondent iu yes-
terday's llcruhi. On tho last mentioned
uiglit tho atore of Mr. Zork, ou commerce
street, was broken into, and goods
stolon to the value of $400. A valuable
horae was also stolen from tho stable
of Capt. Beck, on the East sido of the
river.
Our citizens arc patient, and long suf-
fering, but it is high time that some-
thing was dono to put a stop to this un-
fortunate- state of affairs. Wo would
suggest that a public mooting should
bo called with the view of considering
what atep* should, under the circmn-
stances, be adopted; Our city is fast
acquiring a moat unenviable notoriety.
Mr Governor Marcy has arrived in
this city from Washington,and has ta-
ken rooms at tho Clarendon Hotel. We

ANN C. ALLEN el at
vs. }■ 1253.
JAS. W RUSSELL,
Ch. Justice Hemphill.—Certain slaves
had been levied upon as the property ot
one Jesse Allen—and this is a proceed-
ing under the statute to try tlie right
which the heirs of ouo Richard Crowder
set up to said slaves.
It appears by an instrument of writ-
ing exhibited in the cause, that the
sluves had been loaned by Richard
Crowder to Jesse Allen and Ann Eliza
Allen, daughter of said Crowder, to
havo the use and labor of said slaves
during the.r natural lives, with a oovc-
uant not to transfer or soil said slaves ;
and that said slaves, with their increase,
should bo equally divided between the
legal heirs of Anu Eliza's body, wife of
Jesse Allen, (in the wording of the in
strument.)
" The before mentioned property, the
right and title is ill the said Richard
Crowder, and is to be used and divided
aceordidg to his will."
It is not necessary in this causo to
give construction to tho various clauses
of this instrument. With reference to
the rights of the parties, so tar ns tliev
aro involved iu this issue, it is eufficjent
that by the instrument a joint use in
the property is vested iu Jesse Align
the defendant in oxecution and his wife,
Ann Eliza Allen, during their natural
lives, and that consequently* the hus-
band Jesse, has such nu interest as may
be subjected to execution.
If tho heirs of Richard1 Crowder have
any right, (aud upon this subject it is
not necessary that any opinion should
be formed or expressed,) it is only by
reversion or 'remainder, ami cannot be
assorted or secured by this form of pro
ceedinj*.
The instrument was executed in Ten-
nessee, and tho interest which tho wife
has in said slaves, under a joint gift to
her and her husband, must depend upou
the laws of that State. But whether she
has any, an I how they should bo pro-
tected, cannot in this suit be tho sub
jeet of inquiry. Tho htrita of R. Crow-
der, who are tho claimants, have no
siteh interest (if they havo any,) as
wctuld save tho property from liability
under these executions. Judgment af-
firmed.
• EKrecrs or Intermabbuoe.—Speaking
of the effect of intermarriage among
blood relations, tho Fredericksburg
News says : In this county in whicl
wo nro riiised, for twenty generations
back, certain families of wealth ami
respectability havo intermarried, until
there cannot be found in three or four
of them a sound man or woman 1 One
has sore eyes, another scrofula, a third
is an idiot; a fourth blind, a fifth bandy
legged a sixth with a head about the
size of a turnip, with not one out of the
number exempt from physical defects of
some kind or other.

E. 0. Perriii, formerly of Tennessee,

Fifty-nine Filibusters, shot.—Tho
Mexican " Hvtatidarto Nacional," of the.
6th hist. states that tho government had
just receive^ dispatches from Gen. Ya-
netc, the commander of tho Mexican for-
ces at Sonora, informing them that the
fifty-nine filibusters who wero taken
prisoners after tho recent battle,' had
been shot. Tho dispatch adds that the
loss of tho Senoriana in the engagement
was forty killed and a still larger num.
her wounded.
Scicids.—A passenger by tho stage
which loft San Antonio on Wednesday
night committed suicide by shooting
himself through the head, shortly after
the arrival of tho stage at Seguiré
While crossing tho Guadalupe he
jumped into the river and attempted to
drown himself, but was rescued by tho
passengers,—and proceeded to Seguin.
Here he refused to Idavc tho coach and
took advantage of the absence' of the
passengers to commit tho deed. We
understand thnt he was brother to a
siorekeeper in this town, and had only
lately returned from California,—S. A,
