Later from Texas.

By the steamship Mexico, Capt. Lawess, we have
Galveston papers to Sunday last.
The News of Saturday says:
Never have we known, during residence OF more
than twenty years in Texas so sudden and so total
change in the agricultural prospects of our State as
has taken place this spring. We have never before
had so many and rosts at so late period as
have had this spring, compelling our farmers and
planters to repant three and even four times over,
until universal gloom seemed to ovelspread the
whole State with the most alarming apprehensions
that a famine would be the inevitable result And
yet, at this moment all the accounts that reach us
from eastern, northern and middle Texas go to show
that the prospects for splendid crops OF corn cotton
and sugar cane better, if as good as now.
In all parts of Texas, except some OF the western
countless there have been fine rains, and even in the
west told the crops not suffering but will
be good if they have rains week or two hence.
The Civilian of Saturday has the following:

Cold Of powderhorn, and Mr.. Brown, our junior, ac-
companied the party in the hope OF recognizing
of the remains of those whom they knew.

The Telegraph, in its commercial article, says:
The feeling is becoming more and more settled il
view Of the frequent disasters to our Gnf steamer
