PROSPECT OF THE COTTON CROP
In ItXAS

We learn from many sections of the inter ior,
that the cold and rainy weather that has IRE.
vailed for ,be last two months, has Injured the
oP TO great extent. A great deal of the
corn and cotton that was planted last month,
has ro!ted IN the ground, and the heavy rams
have in many sections, washed out the corn and
cotton plants that had attained a considerable
size. Many plantations on the Brazos, between
Dan Felipe and Nashville, have been inunda-
ted, and It will be necessary to replant them.
1t is fortunate for the planters that these disas.
tiers have occurred so early in the season; for it
is yet in their power in great measure to
remedy the evil by replan,ing the fields that
have been thus devastated. II has often been
noticed when similar disasters have occurred,
that the aggregate crop of the country SELDOM
falls short 10 the fall; for the summer is almost
invariably favorable when the rains prevail late
in the Spring. We learn from our exchanges
that the season has been quite backward in
Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi, and the ed
itors predict that the cotton crop will be far be.
low an average in those States. II the summer
however should be favorable, these predictions
will no, be verified Houston Teas telegram.

driven over with the same ease. 1t was said
that troop Of horse arriving at night at river
where this bridge was. and seeing it stretched

sion that il was common bridge. The great
advantage Of this bridge is its portahleness. all
