Editors Crescent: Accept my thanks for conEin-
ued ayors since my arrival here in the shape Of The
Crescent. BY way Of reciprocity will give you the
result Of my observations in regard to the agrcultu
raj prospects Of Texas particularly Of this portion Of
the State. The fact is Texas Is in thriving condi-
ton, and her prospects for abundant harvest we're
never brighter. Crops throughout the State are
generally good. This portion Of it has been more
unfortunate than any other having suffered severely
from the rayages Of the grasshoppers. In eonse-
qaence Of these ryages crops in this section Of the
State are just maturing while those in other sections
are made Such is the state OF crops generally fur.
ther west But more tiatteFing prospect was never
seen in this section than at this time notwithstand
ing the crops are from six to eight weeks later than
usual Empty granaries, caused by partial failures
the two previous years, and the continued good
season, stimulated and encouraged planters to exer
else greater amount Of industry than usual. No
sooner wond the destroyers pass over the uxurantly
growing fields, removing every yestige OF vegetation
than our planters would set to work replowing and
re-planting, which many had to do three and four
times. The last planting was mostly cotton By
this time the destroyers had matured and winged
their way to other parts. By their utirng exertions
good stand of cotton and corn was obtained which

to grow rapidly, until during the scorching rays Of

The following extract from letter from most
respectable source we present to our readers, be.
lieving that any information on the allengrossing
subject of the crops will prove of interest to them
YAzoo RIVER, Carroll county, Miss, July a.
" AS have not much to do except to watch the high
water and knowing that you are interested and that
you will have many rumors ail0at in reference to the
overflow, / will give you plain statement;
From the lower end Of Honey Island as high as
Cold Water, the plantations back Of the Island are
all covered from onehalf 10 seyeneighths and many
entirely From the head of the Island to Greenwood,
they are about half covered, with the exception of
four plantations, three Of which but little and one
entirely free.
The settlers back from the river with the excep-
ton Of four are said to be entirely eoveredthe four
are hurt but little.
The Tallahatchie river plantations are said to be
entirely covered, with few exceptions-say three
fourths of the land in cultivation is under water
On the Cold Water river, report states that there
is not single plantation which is not submerged.
The corn is all in full roasting ear and some of it
getting hard. don't know how the water will effect
it, but the cotton is entirely killed wherever it
is under water. The river here has fallen four
inches, but is still rising on the back land. The ma.

The Recent Fire in MohIie.

The Tribune gives the following particulars of the
destructive fire which occurred in Mobile on Sunday
night last;
AT about twenty minutes before 70 o'clock on Sat
urday night last, fire broke out in the back part of
Mr. Jas. Kellys livery stables St. Joseph street.
which was Immediately consumed. The flames then
communicated with the Franklin Hall, the upper
story being occupid by the Masonic fraternity which
was also destroyed The fire then wended its way to
the rear, burning the barroom occupied by Mr.. Nick
Thompson and the kitchen adjoining, attached to the
restaurat of Mr.. George johnson.
The south portion Of the new Custom. House is yerv
badly damaged, great portion of the cOrnce above
and several blocks OF granite below, having split off
in flakes owing to the intense heat The stability Of
the building, however, is not at all injured. The
damage done cannot be repaired for less than O00
We learn that Mr.. Kelly was insured on his stables
and stock to the amount of $4,000. The Franklin
Hall was only partly insured, and was owned by the
two societies. The masons had an insurance of
81 500 the building but the loss to furniture and
other matters in the room will amount to at least
$780,
The franklin Society we learn-had no insur.
anCe on their portion of the building. They saved
portion Of their library and several paintings but the
best portion Of the furniture was DESTROYED. The
loss is estimated at about 5000 besides the building
Mr.. Thompson was insured for $4,000 on his stock
and everything appertaining to his business great
part of which was saved, The building, We learn
belongs to Messrs r. Fl. Redwood, W. H. Redwood
and Col Dunn. It was fully insured.
Mr.. Johnson's loss is about $1,000, with no insur-
ance
The fire is generally believed to be the work of an
incendiary That portion of the building which was
at first observed to be fire has never had any fire
near it for any purpose of the stable. A negro boy
was seen a few minutes before the alarm was given
