Crops in Texas

The Galveston journal, OF the
18th ult. says:
1.-THE Northern and Eastern coun-
ties of this State have had seasonal
bic rains, and the corn and wheat
crops are said to be very promising,
and saved from further injury by
drought. Cheering accounts of the
colt on crop come from all parts of
the State, and it is generally believed
that Texas will produce, this year, a
far greater crop than she has any one
season heretofore An acquaintance
of ours, a. planter from Liberty coun-
ty, gives a most favorable account of
the prospects of a heavy yield ofcot-
ton in that section"
The Houston Beacon, of the 18th,
says:
From every direction the accounts
of thepew Cotton crop are cheering.
| Notwithstanding the drought, the
prospect is most favorable for a large
crop.
The present appearance of the
Cotton crop on the Guadalupe river
lis very hattering, and every indica-
ton of heavy crops being made
The Lagrange Monument informs
US that refreshing showers have late
ly fallen in that county, though al
most too late to be of much benefit
to the early Corn, which has been
seriously injured by drought. The
Cotton crop and the late Corn are
promising.
a gentleman at Houston, writing
to the publishers of the Austin
State Gazette, under date of the
30th ult. says: We anticipate the
heaviest fall and winter business ever
done in Houston. The cotton, corn
and wheat crops on the upper Trinity
were never better. The cotton crops
on the Brazos are said to be unusu-
ally fine. Corn has suffered from
the drought.
The Port Lavaca Courier Of the
10Th says:
The web worm is doing great dam
age to the cotton crop above.
Wherever the rains have been most
abundant the worms have appeared
in great numbers, places where there
has been but little rain have SO far
escaped. We understand they have
also made their appearance III the
neighborhood of Goliad; the, cotton
crop in this portion of the country
was fine, and promised an abundant
yield until the ravages Of this de-
structive insect commenced.
We have seen a fine specimen Of
cotton gathered on the 18th inst. on
the plantation of Col. Fitzpatrick,
some II miles above this place
The Colonel informs US that he will
have a bale in market during the
course of next week.

of July 18th, says
Several persons who have lately
visited the towns of Santa Rosa, Mo-
frelos and the Preside, for the pur-
pose of re-capturing runaway slaves,
have returned, and report that the
! fugitive slaves are harbored by the
Mexicans, and in some instances
force has been used to prevent on i
citizens from reeapturing these'slaves.
This has Sc exasperated many of the
settlers at the West, that they are de-
Itermined to raise 9 force sufficient TO
overpower all opposition, and recap
ture their slaves at all hazards. AT
the last accounts a large party d
armed Texans had assembled near
Preside, and threatened to attack
the town if the fugitive slaves were
not given up. 1t is intimated that
there are not less than two thousand
fugitive slaves in the Mexican towns
between the mouth Of the Rio Grande
and Preside. IN Santa Rosa, there
are forty tugitives who escaped from
one plantation in Arkansas. The
owner of them has made many efforts
to induqe them to return to Arkan4
sas, but in vain. They boast that
they are in a free country, and per-
mitted to EMO y equal privileges with
the Mexicans. We have been in
formed that about two hundred fugi-
tives from Texas crossed at one of
the principal ferries on the Rio
Grande, during the last two years.
Ii is evident that these things will
not long be tolerated by our citizens,
+ and unless some measures are adopted
by our government to prevent the
mischief, the citizens will arm them
selves and make foray upon the
Mexican towns to recover their prop
erty. We have much reason to fear
that difficulties of a very serious
character are springing up on that
frontier, and unless a fugitive slave
treaty be concluded with Mexico, an
other war may, ere long be ineyita-
BILE. We are informed that a compa-
my of ninety men, well armed and
equipped, will soon be marched into
Santa Rosa, if certain slaves are not
given up, and we should not be sur
prised if five hundred or thousand
m en- should follow them, should they
meet with opposition from the Mexi
can authorities Our information is
derived from such respectable sour
ces, that we think there can be little
doubt that difficulties are brewing on
our Western frontier, that maysproye
far more serious than those relating
to the Cuban invasion. 1t may be
well for the government to look well
to this subject, and take timely pre-
cautions to prevent another rupture
with Mexico.

! The II heat Cran.
The Cincinnati Chronicle says:

The advices from all parts of this
State show chat the Wheat crop Of
the present Season will be the largest
ever grown in this State.
In New York, Indiana, Michigan
and Wisconsin the yield is also very
large, and the Wheat of t!lesa4ry
best quality.
The Detroit Free Press says it has
Conformation from all parts of the
State that crops of every description
promise an abundant yield to the
farmer Wheat harvest has already
common ced in many places, and the
yield exe eeds anything ever known,
even in Michigan. II, the Northern
and Western parts Of the State, and
also in the Southern tier of counties,
/ the Wheat crop is said to reach from
one quarter to one-third higher than
on any previous season. Corn is a
little backward, but no fears are en-
.ertained for its safety while summer
grains of every description promise
an abund ant yield"
In Northern and Central Hi
nois heavy rains have destroyed a
portion Of the crop, but inthe South
ern portion of the STD tie it will be
abundant!
+ The reports from oil the grain
growing parts of the Union indicate
that the Wheat harvest Of 1857 will
be the he yiest even raised.
