We have received, via Berwick's Bay, Galveston
papers to Thursday last.
The Herald has = letter from Eagle Lake, Colorado
county, which says
n this immediate neighborhood the crops, though
some twenty days behiud, are promising and as we
have had three good rains lately, hope that we will
he plenty Of If there is not toe much rain
think that Che cotton crop will be fair perhaps
not quite an average. know nothing Of t ne crops
thers they will not make bread perhaps this is an
sexzggeation.
The Washington County Star, Of the 18th inst
says:
I The crops could not be in q more discouraging
condition in that immediate neighborhood. It says
that in gardens the stocks have been cut down
to make fodder Of while in other cases large fields Of
corn look as though it would burn like dry prairie
grass. In some portions Of that county good crops
are anticipated. One gentleman expects to make
Brazos bottom land 5000 bushels Of corn without
any more rain.
a late number Of the Richmond Reporter says:
There have been several rains recently in different
parts Of Fort Bend county, and some plantations
have received an abundant supply while others are
still needing rain.

The Course of the Administration in Kansas
Affairs.
The course Of the Administration, in relation to
Kansas affairs, as Swallowed forth by the Washington
Union is at once disngenuous in itself and offensive
to the South It processes to be faithfully carrying out
the policy of the KansasN Nebraska bill, namely, Con
& gressiona non-interYention with the question of
slavery in Kansas, and yet openly and without stint
or measure endorses Governor Walkers inaugural and
other demonstrations in Kansas; and, at the same
time rebukes Southern opposion to Walkers treason
as emanating from the politicians, and not from the
people Of the South.
The question lies in nutshell. The South objects
not to any action Of the people Of Kansas or OF the
Convention Of Kansas, free from Congressional or
Executive interference. II the Convention Of Kansas
should adopt anti.slavery constitution entirely of
its own motion and free will, and by it's own final ac
ton, or, if, of its own motion and free will it should
submit the constitution it may frame, whether pro-
slavery antisavery, for final ratification to the peo
pie however adverse and unpaatable the result the
South would acquiesce in and abide by it, in good
faith, without complaint or murmur. Gov Walker
has, however, most ofensvely and dctatoriay inter
fered with the affairs of Kansas, to the extent
Of attempting to control the action of the approach
ing Convention the representative Of the sovereignty
Of Kansas
/. In q close struggle for the mastery between the
lawabiding prosavery party, and the rebeous anti
slavery party he has nterered in acor of the latter,
by declaring, cathedral that nature has forbidden
Kansas to be saveholding State.
Q. He has endorsed and proclaimed the odious
principle squatter sovereignty. by pronouncing it
to be the Inherent, fundamental and unaienable
right Of the people, rather of the actual resident
settlers of Kansas at the moment of the final vote,
to pass finally any constitution which the Conven
ton may adopt-and all this with the avowed or at
least plain purpose, of foling, neutralzing, pre-
venting, the pro slavery action OF proslavery Con-
vention-intererence most rank and offensive.
8. He has insolenty threatened the Convention
with Congressional rejection of any constitution it
may adopt unless they shall submit it to the people,
the actual resident settlers OF Kansas for that rat
Y fcatien-- interference most rank and dictatorial.
We demand Of the administration, or OF the Union,
its organ whether it does or does not endorse the
course of Gov Walker in all either of the forego-
ing particulars? Let it not indulge, it has done
hitherto in the utterance of bare generates or I'M
say whether it holds with Gov. Walker that nature
has forbidden the doestcaton of slavery in Kansas
whether it holds with him, that final ratification of
Constitution is an inherent fundamental and unalena
BILE right of the people actual resident settlers Of
Kansas; and finally, whether it holds that Congress
should veto the Constitution of Kansas. unless sub
mitted for final ratification, according to the pro-
gramme and edict of that functonary.
Suchare Gov. Walkers views-does the Buchanan
administration approve, endorse and mean to enforce
them? If it does, we venture to say that, notwith-
standing the detection of Virginia, the rule Of that
administration will in the South aye, with the
peokie as well as with the politicians. We, at least
Although neutral, in party politics, we hailed the
ecton OF MI. Buchanan his inaugural, the compost
ton of his cabinet and his incipient measures as
suspicious to the South and to the Union, and we
freely and honestly rendered him an independent sup
port. But we see, in Gov. Walkers course, and in
that Of the administration, in indorsing and sustain
ing him, and especially in denouncing those who
treachery to the South, Of the most signal char
acter, combining ingrattude with bad faith. That
Executive interference, ninat0ry of Congressional
intervention, should cause the politicians of Kan
sas, assembled in convention, to "bend the preg
nant hinges of the knee that thrift may follow fawn
ing, we hold to be as volative Of the principle O
the Kansas Nebraska act, as would be direct Con
gressional interference, and to be more offensive ii
itself than direct Congressional action and we war;
Gov. Walker that, whether he obtains or not sub
mission to his dictation by the Kansas Convention
either far to ignore the subject of slavery in tn
Kansas constitution or to yield the final ratification
of that instrument to other hands, he will find tina
the confidence of the South is clean gone from him
and from his Cabinet hackers, irrecoyeraby and for
ever. charleston Courier, 18th inst
