The Galveston News, Of the 18th, says
We believe we have had rain every day fol
the last two or perhaps three weeks, and during
| the past three or four days we have had CON
| tinued succession Of heavy showers day ant
| night. We cannot recollect q time when 81
| much rain has fallen in SO short time.
these rains extend through the country general
", as We fear they do, the effect must be disas
trous to our farmers. It is now week since
we heard the corn in many places was begin
ming to sprout on the stalk There is, therefore
reason to fear that by this time much of it is
chance for it to get dry. We shall expect soon
to hear of the worm in cotton, though it is ra-
Their early yet. We hope, however, the country
has escaped the deluging rains which have in
undated this island.
The Laraca Register, of the Sd, says:
The dull season is upon us, and, Of course,
business is tagging. But few wagons are ar
irving from up country, and we may expect but
few transactions in the commercial line till
business is resumed in September or October.
Our merchants have good stocks of provisions,
produce, ETC., on hand The lumber market
also seems to be well supplied. Several cargoes
of lumber are daily expected, and orders from
the country can be filled without difficulty.
The Leon Pioneer rebukes the mania for ex-
cessive cotton raising, and recommends the cul-
ture Of more corn, wheat and meat
The Gonzales Enquirer has the following ac-
count of murderous afray:
On Monday morning last, an ARRAY took place
at Duncan's Ferry, on the San Marcos river,
about one and half miles above this town, in
which Mr.. BENZ. Duncan, Mr.. T. s. Netherly,
Mr.. John Duncan, Mr.. 7. Berry, Mr.. R. H.
Bass end Mr.. B. F. Means participated In the
afray various instruments of warfare were used
freely, and one Of the party, Mr. John Duncan,
was shot dead by Mr.. Netherly Two or three
others were more or less injured from blows in
hieted with hoe, club and the butt end of
whip. Mr.. Netherly has since fled and has net
yet been heard from. Two of the parties, Mr.
Bass and Mr.. Means, surrendered themselves on
Wednesday morning, and the trial of the former
was entered into before Justices Pilgrim and
Goss
Accounts Of the crops in different parts of the
State continue toebe highly encouraging.
An ARRAY occurred in Rusk county, between
man named Magee and two Sweatmens,
Gather and SON. Both of the latter were
killed
Monroe Black shot q man named Barnes
through the head, at Fort Graham, because he
was trying to get him to go home and avoid
difficulty. Black threw the lifeless body into
some bushes and fled Half mile from the
Fort he met Thomas Harrison, Esq, whom he
compelled to deliver up his money and his
horse. Mr.. Harrison pursued Black SO close
that he left his horse.
In Rusk county, there are thirty candidates
before the people, to fill ten Offices So says the
Redlander.
