f POUT C AVAL. tO.
THE undersigned agent for the proprietors Would
respectfully inform the public that a sale of lots
in I'orl Carallo'vciU take place on the 20th day of Oc-
tober next.
The large and increasing importations into "Western
Texas through the entrance into Matagorda bar and
the inconvenience and delay heretofore experienced in
landing goodsat the various important points upon it
as welt as Labacca bay have shown the absolute ne-
cessity which exists for a place of general deposit
where vessels of the largest class capable of entering
. the pass can approach without difficulty discharge
their cargoes reload and lake their departure with fa-
cility and despatch; all will readily concede that a
place of this kind is demanded) for the convenience of
tne emicrration wnicn tlic superior advantages of ecu
ual and "Western Texas are at last attracting as wrll
as for the heavy trade which is now required to supply
the wants ol the citizens of the "West and the Mexicans
on and near the Rio Grande who of late have been
principally supplied by importation received through
this channel.
The undersigned confidently believes that all who
have an acquaintance with the geography of the coast
of "Western Texas the entrances from "the Gulf into
the several baj-s and the many points upon them will
unhesitatingly admit that nalnrc lias pointed out Port
Cavallo as the mast eligible site for such a purpose.
Port Cavallo is situated on the extreme Smith "West-
cm end of the Peninsula dividing Matagorda bay from
the Gulf of Mexico so well known to navigators as
Dccrows point and form the Eastern shore of Pass CaJ
vallo the'only entrance into Matagorda and Labacca
bays. The Northern front orilic-Oiiy will be immedi-
ately on the bay where vessels have a commodious
and'complctclv sheltered haruour at all times.afTording
excellent holding ground in four to five fathoms water
and can lay at the wharf of only sixty feet in length in
twelve feet water.
Such being the situation of Port Cavallo it is cer-
tain that it will eventually concentrate thctrade oflhe
rich valleys of the Colorado Cancy Live Oak Labac-
ca Navidad Trcspalacios Karankawa andGarcitas
rivers all of which empty into Matagorda and Labac-
ca bays the produce and supplies for all this country
must of necessity pass and repass within and through
this harbour. Immediately opposite this place about
two miles distant there is an inside channel one mile in
length communicating wilhEspiritu Santo bay and its
tributary rivers the Guadeloupe and San Antonio which
is the only direct ontlct loihe Gnlfbf Mexico affording
ample water for steamboat navigation the distance to
the mouth of the Guadeloupe river into which the San
Antonio empties is twenty-eight miles from Port Ca-
vallo. To sum up this brief description of a portion of
the ad vantages of Port Cavallo the subscriber would

As a refined and elegant repository o f the lellts letters
embracing even' subject within the'range of polile lit-
erature and the fine arts the New-York Mirror has re-
ceived the spontaneous and universal commendation
not only oflhe press oflhe United States but of Great
Britain.
The first numbet of. anew volume of this beautiful
narlour iourna . will be issued on ticcnlu-setenlh day of
lune next at which lime as the work is generally
boundatthc endol ihe year it is desirable mai new
subscribers should commence their subscription. As
it is Ihe intention oflhe proprietor to print no more co-
pics thanshnll be required lhis early notice is given in
order to prevent the disappointment that usually takes
place in applications for the first numbers of a new vol-
ume. The New-York" Mirror is the oldest; and unques-
tionably ihc cheapest periodical in America. Every
number c:ntains a great variety of tisuful interesting
and amusing matter on every subject connected with
polite literature and the fine arts; and they form at the

and sixteen imperial aiifl auorto pages vignette title
page table of contents splendid engravings and fifty
pieces of popular music arranged lor the piano-forte
guitar etc. a library in itself and all this is afforded
at the verv trilling cosl of five dollars a year a sum al-
most inacfeqate for the extraordinary equivalent render-
ed tmsulxcribers.
Our friends are more numerous our resources more
ample and our exertions to render the Mirror the first
ofpenodicals shall be es unfofgin as ever. At home
we have a list of nearly two hundred contributors cm-
bracing most of the talent and genius of America; and
Ave havecstablished a'permanent corrcs: ondcnccboih in
London and Paris.
Four superb engravings will be given in Ihc course
of the new volume from originul designs painted and
tngraved expressly for the work by the most eminent
artists. Ansmber of curious etchings ojj wood will
also be given.
In catering for the gaieral taste we shall never omil
to set aside a due proportion of space for the especial
amusement and cdiheation ofour fair and gentle conn-
try women in the sunshine of whose favor the Mirror
has so long flourished as a favorite journal.
In issuing this new volume we. feel confident that
while we continue to merit we shall continue to re-
ceive the liberal support which we take this occasion
to acknowledge; and we shall commence a new vol-
ume with rcnewcdspirit.and a steady determination to
render the Mirroi all that its most ardent friends could
wish.

BY J. GREGG WILSON & CO.
5j"This Papkr which already enjoys a very large
circulation commends itself to general patronage by
the extent of its ample pages its tasteful arrangement
and beauty of mechanical execution as well-as by the
spirit variety and ability of its contents. The novelty
of the arrangement of its columns under the emblems
of the several States most beautifully execnted has at-
tracted almost universal attcnlintion and draws forth
the warmest commendations from the press and ihe
reading public. The plan also of combining sound
political discussions with literary and misc'ellaneous
readin". is also generally approved; as no one in times
like the present cah he suppose-." lu ScindiiTsjcnttonub-
lie affairs. A brief outline of ihe plan adtptcd is. here
given:
Politics. The "Empire Stale?' like the noble com-
monwealth from which it takes its title will give its
earnest support to sound Democratic Whip Principlcsas
the only secure basis of Freedom ml Prosperity. It
will give a warm support to the Patriot Farmer and
Statesman Gen. Harrison for the Presidency. The
aid of experienced and veteran vriteis has been secu-
red ihe most simple correspondence established and
every arrangement raade; whereby a journafworthy of
ilnf:niri( nml Listen! the aire and combining ihe advan
tages both of the best political and neutral papers that
can be produced. In addition 10 full andvigerous edito-
rial discussions and correspondence the best speeches
of our most distinguished public men on the great
questions of the day will from time to time be given.

out a rival. No paper published in the country devotes
so large a space to the concerns of ihe States or pres-
ents at an earlierdate more accurate full and interest-
ing details of new'Forcign and Domestic.
Congressional Debates will form a distinct feature
in this paper.
The design of the publishers is to present a valuable

laneous and amusing matter as shall render the Empire

FROSPECTUS
OB THE
MISSISSIPPI FARMER.
THE undersigned intend to publish at the least for
twelve mouths by way of experiment an agricul-
tural to be entitled "The Mississippi Farmer."
The aid of many intelligent planters in Hinds and the

d'ersigura; ZZ'l il 'S hoped that in every part oflhe state
correspodences will be established both to extend the
circulation of the journal and to furnish matter ol in-
terest and value for its pages.
One of the main objects of the "Farmer will be to
develope our local peculanties. Abstract essays there-
fore will not be desired but all information as to the
productions oflhe State the modes of culture the stock
the" capabilities of the soil the comparative adaption of
different portions of the State lo different pursuits-Kind
allolher matters taught bv experience and ti long-residence
in the State will be most Industriously sought
afler. In a word the work will be a nnivcrsal farmer
but as its name imports a "Mississippi Farmer"
promoting first and foremost the special interests of
our own planters and farmers.
The "Farmer" will be published in a form of four
large quarto pages semi-mcnthly. At the end of the
years title page and index will be forwarded lo the sub-
scrirJersthus making a handsome and convenient vol-
ume for bindingup as a permanent record of useful ag-
ricultural history.
Pnicn rive dollars per annum in advance. ISo va-
riation from the terms will be allowed except that for
every twenty dollars paid by any one individual five

same proportion.
