From Teras.-By the arrival Of the
steamship Neptune, in 80 hours from Gal
weston, we have recived Texas papers to
the Cd inst. The manifest of tho Neptune
states that news had been received from
Austin at Galveston, that the loan had
been negotiated at IS cents, at Paris
This mustbe mistake, as the negotiations
which, were to DECIDE the per centage to, be
given ON The bonds were not terminated at
the last European dates.
The French Corvette Sabine, was still
at Galveston.
Corn was selling OH the Colorado at 25
cents per bushel.

the Austin papers, that a skirmish took
place near Larado. on the 9Th OF April, be-
tween company Of Texian spies, under
CaptJohn c. Hays, and amarauding par

We have been visited by cold, heavy
rains, nearly every second day for the last
month, which have operated greallyto the
disadvantage Of the farmers of The middle
and upper districts. In the lower country
it has been impossible to get good stand
of cotton, and we have heard the same
complaint made in this district in regard
to corn. Small grain generally looks well;
and the prospec, never was better for
great abundance of fruit, of all kinds, than
at present t-Greenville Mount'r. 14th inst.

From The Charleston Courier,

Extract of letter from large Cotton
planter in the upper country, dated Union
District, May l, and received here on sa-
turday last:
"The prospects for Cotton crop this
year, are very bad hereabouts. We have
had remarkably cold spring. with much
wind and cold rains, which have prevented
the cotton seed from coming up, and the
ground is baked 80 hard on the seed that
il never will come up; and some are plough
ing up the land and planting over, aud ma
ny more would do this ifthey had seed. /
shall be compelled to plough up some OF
my fields, and plant corn instead ofcotton.
What I have stated is general thing over
this section as far as | have heard-and If
known in Europe would or ought 10 raise
the present price of cotton"

CATERplLLARS.

TAKE care Of these foul consumers of the orch
ard foliage. Much injury to the trees is often done
by them, but it is the owners fault if they harm
him to any great extent. A few hours labor will
suffice for clearing the orchard of them. When
they are on limbs that can be conyenlly reached it
is well to tear off the nest and tread uponit. When
the nests are above the arms reach light pole
with swab upon the end answers as sufficient
instrument for their destruction The work is more
eilec,uay done if the swah is dipped in soap-suds,
fish oil, or any liquid which will destroy the worm
without injury to the tree But the hour of the day
at which this work is to be done, must be regarded
Take only those times when the whole family are
in the nest. This is the case from early morning
until or s o'clock. From that time until near
O'Clock, they are out upon the limbs and leaves
taking their morning meal. Their nap at noon is
usually from II o'clock until 2, p. NJ. Atths time
they are easily taken and eiiectually destroyed
In the afternoon they go out again to feed, but
toward evening they may again be caught This
work of destruction should be commenced early in
the season. while the leaves of,he trees are so small
as not to screen them from sight, and before they
have perpetraied their ravages. And while proiec-
ting the orchard, it is well to look ut The wild cherry
and all the wild scrub apple trees upon the farm,
for these iavoriie abodcs of the caterpillar, ifun
disturbed, will send out swans of breeders to fur
nish numerous progeny to people the neghbor
the next season. As matter of taste too, we pre-
fer the sight of green leaves on even the worthless
bush to the huge white house and its crawling in
mates and for Appearances sake we would lay a
ruthless hand upon the raising colony.

TO PRESERVE HAMS FROM FLIES, & c

For score Of hams, take about quarts Of
salt, pint Of molasses, l-ith of pound of black
pepper, and ounces of salt petrc puverzed /;
mix well together; lay the hams on a table with the
rind donwards; rub the mixture over them with
the hand take care to apply it to every part where
there is no rind lei them lay week, and rub
them over with clear salt, which continue once
week for four or six weeks, according to the size
of the hams; and they are ready to smoke; or if
YOU choose after the mixture is sufficiently struck
in, put them into brine for two or three weeks and
smoke; when smoked, hang them in a dry place
We hang ours in the garrett, where they will keep
all summer, secure from flies When ham is
Gu, for use, hang it or lay where you please the
flies will not touch it. We have practiced this
method for several years, and have no reason to
abandon it.
We have fed our mich cows about a peck of
carrots per day each, through the winter, and the
butter is as yellow as that made in summer,
and equally good.
Great improvements have been made in swine in
this section by the introduction of the Berkshires.

THE LAST TEAR SHED.
ny ROBERT JOssELYE.

THE last tear shed was the warm one that fell
AS kissed thee, dear mother, and babe thee FAREWELL
When saw the deep anguish impressed on thy face,
And felt, for the last time, mothers Embrace
And heard thy choked accents impassoned and wild,
God bless thee forever, God bless thee my child
thought ormy boyhood, thy kindness to me-
When youngest and dearest, sat on thy knee;
Orthy love to me fondly expressed,
As grew up to manhood, unconscious how bcst
or thy praises when right and thy Chdings when wrong
While maynard with passions mycldng and strong.
thought of thy counsels, unheedcd or spurned,
As mrth had cnvened or anger had burned,
And how when by sickness all helpless | lay,
Thou dldst and sooth me by night and by day.
How much had been both thy sorrow and joy,
Aud my feelings oerhowed, and wept like boy.
Years, years of endurance have vanished, and now
There is pain in my heart, there is my brow;
The visions Hope and of Fancy are gomez
And careless travel e's pathway aone
Alone! aye, anune, though some kind ones there he,
There none here to love me- 10 love me like thee.
Ny mother, dear mother, cold-hearled they deem
Thy offspring, but OH am not what seem;
Though, calmly and fearless, all changes bear,
Could they look in my bosom, the feeling is there!
And now, sad and lonely, as memory recalls
The blessing at parting, again the tear falls.
