THE CROPS-THE WEATHER.

HI-On Sunday last, says the Independent
Of Catalonia we had light showers during the
greater part of the day, but not sufficiently
copious to wet the ground below the surface
Still however, the rain was evidently of much
service. Crops look well, and, with timely
rains, the prospect Of an abundant yield was
never greater. Low and falling, in reference
to all the water courses, is still the cry. e."
s&-The Houston Telegraph, of the 18th,
says:-Our exchanges from all parts Of the
State, bring US the gratifying intelligence, that
the late rains we're general throughout the
State, and the prospect is that the grain crop
will be fully equal to that of last year
RAIN IN EASTERN TExAs.-We hear Of heavy
rains at Tyler, and in Upshur county, Texas,
on the lst inst . uoI ss .Ha.
D@rThe Shreveport Democrat, Of the 10th
inst, says:-The weather is cloudy and cool;
some prospect ofrain. The stand of cotton is
said not to be good, otherwise the crops is said
to be doing well, considering the drought.
The river is still receding. Small boats get
along with difficulty. On Wednesday night of
last week there was heavy rain in several OF
the eastern counties ofTexas, extending as far
north as Hampstead county, Arkansas. On
Wednesday night last, there was another rain
in same direction, extending somewhat into
this parish.
NJ The Opelousas Patriot, Of Saturday
last, says:-Since our last issue we had a very
general and refreshing rain, which did incalcu
liable benefit to the crops. The earth was SC
dry, however, that tseffects have passed away
and we are experiencing the drought in all Of
its severity. The progress ofvegetation, there
fore, is very slow, and the prospects Of the
planters still gloomy. As for navigation we
have none-arge alligators even finding il
difficult to navigate the Courtableau in the
neghborhood Of washington.
A0-The Alexandria Democrat, of Wednes
day last, says:--Rain fell on Sunday last il
some portions Of the parish. On Bayou BGu
we. hear of substantial shower Of pretty
general character In the upper end of the par
ish and along the river, the benefit from THU
source was meagre. Buta few drops fell
We want steady, powerful rain of ten o.
twelve hours duration to give us good hopes
for the crops. Nothing short Of this will b.
effectual. The river has fallen rapidly within
the last few days, and the water is receding

No WoNDER.-The Known Nothing press are
making much ado over letter from the Rev.
Dr. Robert Breckenridge, Of Kentucky, in ia
vor of their party. OF course. Dr. Brecken-
ridge hates slavery and approves any movement
that promises to extirpate the evil" He is
an old and inveterate Wing; was candidate
for the last Reform Convention in Kentucky;
took ground in the canvass in favor Of eman-
cipating the slaves and was badly beaten upon
that issue. Now he is q Known othing.-
There is no inconsistency in his conduct. He
has only changed the mode Of his warfare
against slavery, He is fighting now with a
more effective weapon. p"

DEATH OF AN ORATOR AND STATESMAN
Hon. Walter T. CoLoUETT, died at Ma
con, Ga, on the 9TH inst. The deceased
was born in Virginia but was brought by
his parents at an early ageto Georgia.
He was educated at Princeton College
New Jersey, where he gave signal promise
Of the reputation he has since acquired as
q statesman and advocate. He filed in
Georgia, successfully, the Offices Of Judge
Of the supreme court, member Of Congress
and U. s. Senator; and was distinguished
in EACH But he was most at home on the
stump and in the courtroom. As most
popular orator, he might justly be compared
to Patrick Henry; playing upon the human
heart with master hand and evoking smiles
and tears at his will, as he passed from
broadest humor to irresistible pathos. As
a politician, he was States Rights Repub.
lican, and never deserted the faith of'9S,
though he had sometimes to break with
his friends. bAf8 I'D BY,

PAY Your BILLs.--.An Incentive. Some
years ago, farmer in Frederick county,
Md, owed neighbor of his $50, and as
soon as he could realize the sum he prompt
ly paid it over. The morning he called to
pay it his friend appeared to beverly thankful
remarking that he was also in debt to an
other person who needed the money, and
he would at once take it to him. This
remark started train Of thought in the
mind Of the first person, who said to him.
self--why here is 500 paid with $50. |
will at once follow up this matter and see
where it will end. He then followed up
payments Of the debts by this one note Of
$50, until he traced it to the large amount
Of 50, $50 when it got out Of his reach
Now here is the moral: A owes B a bill,
which if he pays promptly, will be paid by
B to c, and SO on through the whole alpha
bet and it will be surprising to every one,
what small amount is necessary to pay
off hundreds of thousands by keeping the
eagles on the wing" Now, when the
money market is so tight and the banks
are unable tie discount all thepaper offered,
let persons begin to pay their bills, and by
so doing, they, themselves, will be paid
back in turn. 1t is machine which feeds
itself, and propels, by its own offal, the
execution Of great exploits. AS word
to the wise is ever sufficient, we think
it only necessary to give this hint to our
business men, who will be able, at once, to
see the vast amount Of good the payment
Of even a small bill will accomplish in the
