g 2sW FATHER AND Crops. From the Montgomery
fAfa.) Journal of the 26th ult:
"The crops have suffered materially in this sec
ton early ia the season by drought and rain, and
within the last few weeks the bottom and middle
crop, which was mainly relied on has been damaged
extensively by the worm and the rot, produced by
the continued wet weather.
From the Claiborne (Ala.) Southerner, of the2 oath
ult:
Another heavy rain descended on Monday after
noon. Worse and worse for planters. We shall
have full river but little cotton to freight the
steamers with.
One fact is worthy of notice with regard to the
short crop the planters of this county are the
iorty of them, out of debt, and it makes little differ
in their appearance whether the crop is short
full one.
From the insufficient crop this season, good prices
will be realized; if not early in the winter, we may
expect them in the spring"
From the Camden (Ala.) Republic, of the Oath ult:
1t has been for several days past remarkably dry
and cool Our planters making hay while the
shines, being actively engaged in gathering their
crops; but from all we hear, suppose the worm
and caterpiler are equally active"
From the Clayton (Ala) Banner, of the Oath ult
'tThe weather at this time is delightfully."- bracing
and evidently making start for fall. We have had
good deal of rain lately, and of planters
complain about the cotton sprouting and rotting;
yet many will say, when you press down on them,
that they will make good crops"

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY. On Saturday evening, the Sd
utimo., there happened, at place called the -Four
mile Spring" about four miles from Shreveport, a
terrible affair." in which two men lost their lives. The
parties were Sydney Kerley, who resided at the
Springs, and Thomas Gvens, drover from Texas
The circumstances, aswe gather from the testimony
given on the occasion, follows: Mr.. Kerley
kept house of entertainment, and Mr. Givens reach
ed there few days previous with drove of cattle
consisting of about twenty head. On Saturday they
had settlement and Givens about to leave but,
being intoxicated abruptly inquired of Kerley if he
would swear that he had been there five days. Ker
ley told him to leave the house, and take his cattle
with him, and he would make him present of the
bill, if he not satisfied. Givens swore that he
would not stand such an insult. Kerley took down
his shot gun and informed Owens that if he repeated
what he said he would shoot him. Owens placed his
hand on his revolver and deliberately repeated the Of
fence Kerley discharged his gun instantly, the
tents entering the chest, wounding the stomach, v
er, and heart. But, Notwithstanding the dreadful
character of the wounds he advanced two steps and
discharged his revolver three times at Kerley, two
shot only taking effect in the and the other
in the abdomen, three inches below the naval. Both
parties fell Gvens lived about twenty minutes and
Kerley about two hours and half
