The Neirs learns from a gentleman Just from
Corpus Christi that they have had abundant rains
on the Nucces and Rio Grande. In all that region
the crops are very fine, and in many places have
| suffered rather from excess of rain than from
drought.
A friend writes to the Journal from Cincinnati,
Walker county, under date of July 2d
There have been through this section of country
few slight but partial showers. Some neighbor-
hoods have Jared pretty well; some have light
shower or two; while the greater portion have not
had sufficient rain to wet the ground half an inch,
and we are all suffering much, aud Of course many
neighborhoods worse; there having been no rain
in some places for eight weeks, and not more than
one or two good showers during that time at any
one point near here"

machinery. which were new, were saved"
On the subject of the crops the CiUiiian says:
although we have had but little rain in Cal
weston for the two months last past, fine showers
have visited nearly every portion of the interior
from which we have accounts. The corn crop
was somewhat injured from dry weather at a crin
cal period in the formation of the grain; but cot

Local Matters.

DOUBLE CASE OF CoNsoiENcE.-Mr. Whittle-
sey, the General Agent of the National Monument
Society, acknowledges the receipt OF contribution
of one hundred dollars, from clerk in the Second
Comptroller's Office, towards the erection of the
monument. The money was enclosed and sent to
him in letter. through the post office, anony-
mously signed, cas- small compensation for SER
vices rendered out of office hours" The gift was
prompted by conscientious feeling that the clerk
was entitled to remuneration. But it seems that
the conscience of the clerk would not permit him
to apply the money to his own use; for in letter
to MIR. Whittlesey he says 1" Being paid by the
Government salary for my official services, and
believing that the tendency of public officers tax
ing pay from individuals for attending to official
business out of Office hours would be corrupting
and dangerous, do not feel at liberty to appro
pirate the money to my own use. therefore APP
propratc it to the great and noble public purpose
of aiding the society in erecting monument. to
commemorate the distinguished services and char
