FRosTs AND FAMINE IN TExAs.-We have letters
from San Antonio and Indianola, Texas, dated re-
spectively on the 7th and 9Th inst, from which we
make the following interesting extracts:
1--WE hoped to have had fine gardens, but this
year the frosts have been severe. On last night
(April 6th) we had frost that killed every garden
in this part of Texas We have all to plant over
again. While at Indianola saw one of the camels
tried with couple of 500 pound bales of cotton. He
moved off with them with much a mule
would with a sack of corn The natives looked as.
tonished He could have carried another bale. am
satisfied, with perfect ease"
I'VE have wretched prospect before US for the
summer. Two frosts-thc last two days ago-have
cut down the corn, cotton, vegetables and all the
fruit For the want Of rain the ground is now too
dry to plant. Unless it rains in two weeks there is
danger of famine. No grass is up for pasture; the
streams are dry that get so; the cattle are, some
OF them starving and have to be thrown out to
the calves, so that we shall soon be without milk
while butter is already forty cents per pound, and
rising 1t is lamentable prospect which mercul
Providence can alone avert the realization Of"

SMALL SnvER.-One of the interesting features of
the United States coinage operations Of late years
is that of the smaller silver coins, which, by the
recent action of Congress, will hereafter form the
principal part of our currency, in lieu of the old
Spanish COINS OF the new coins, over twenty-five
millions in value have been coined during the four
years 1885, and the product of domestic silver
is now over $500, 900 annually. The new coins hav-
ing legal value of five to ten per cent above their
value as metal, will not be absorbed or essshed
hereafter for export or for manufacturing purposes

RAILROAD NETTING IN LYNCHBuRG.-A meeting of
the citizens of Lynchburg was held in Masonic Hall
on Saturday evening last to appoint delegates to the
Winston On. G. Convention) which is to assemble
sometime in June next, and to give some expression
OF the public sentiment in that community relative
to the proposed Railway connection between Lynch
burg and North Carolina A report and resolutions
were adopted highly approbatory of the said Improve
ment, and twenty-five delegates were appointed to
represent the city in the Winston Convention.
This movement is designed to open the way for an
extension of the railroad about to be constructed
from High Point, on the North Carolina Central
Road, to the Virginia line in Stokes county, through
the counties of Patrick, Opposite Stokes) Franklin,
and Bedford to some point, we presume, the Vir-
ginia and Tennessee Railroad, so as to connect the
North Carolina Central with Alexandria, Washing
ton, Baltimore &c, via Lynchburg and Charlottes-
VILE The North Carolina Legislature at it's last ses-
sion passed an act granting charter for the road
from High Point in Stokes county to the Virginia line
and an effort is now being made to continue it from
its terminus there to the Virginia and Tennessee
Road, so as to divert the through travel between
North and South from the present lines to the new
route. Should this scheme and its object be accom-.
plished the Wilmington and Manchester, Whining
ton and Weldon, Petersburg. Richmond and Peters.
burg, and Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroads will, all of them, be liable to suffer.
Nut FOR ABoLITIoNIsM.-In January last, the
Schr. Emily, bound from Charleston to this port,
was abandoned at sea and all the survivors, six in
number, were taken on board the Ship ambassador,
aud carried to Liverpool. Among those thus res
cued were two slaves, owned in this place In
telligent active and capable of getting living any
where, perfectly aware that they could not be forced
to return, they have voluntarily signied their pre-
ference for slavery and are now on their way to
charleston (most probably there) their return
to their owners Such facts as these are worth the
raVings OF thousand Beechers or Greelys.
