The Galveston News Of Thursday last says:
During the last week, we have been afflicted with
though he showers Of he last few days have done
some little towards refreshing the atmosphere. Late
showers throughout the State have proved very &C.
ceptabe to the farmers, whose crops were beginning
to suffer severely from the long-continued drouth.
We learn direct from Washington county, that very
heavy rain fell there on the 18th, completely satu
rating the earth, and that prospects both for
and cotton were never better. Rains have also fallen
in Houston, and In most places from which we have
heard.
The Houston Telegraph Of Wednesday last says :
For several days past, we have been favored with
the most refreshing showers in fact much rain has
fallen, and continues to fall that expect soon to
hear the people crying out for dry weather. The
copious rains have been of great advantage TO the
growing crops, and accounts from all portions Of the
State are favorable
The Washington Rambler of the 18th says that
corn crops in that county were greatly suffering for
rain and that another week Of dry weather and most
Of the corn will be parched up beyond redemption.
The Crockett Printer, Of the 9Th, says that they
have not had drop of rain at Crockett for the last
month past and the blue jay, tanned by thirst crowd
around their wells to partake with the poultry, and
return thanks with song.
The Printer states that their plum and peach trees
are loaded down with fruit their fig trees were all
killed by the frost of winter before last, and the
rpening Of their berries checked by the present
drouth.
The Bastrop Advertiser complains of the great
want Of rain there lately and says that the cotton has
stood 1t thus far, though the corn crop is suffering
| very much.
The Frontier News, published at weatherford,
Parker county, under date of June 9th, says:
| Owing to the continued depredations by the In.
dams, and the failure Of the Government to afford
protection to the citizens the whole country west ia
breaking up. Our streets are crowded with wagons
and stock from Jack and Pao Pinto counties going
east. Some are stopping with u.s. bad state Of
| affairs. aDaM
This is confirmed by the Collin county Messenger
Of the 10th ns published the northern frontier
| which says:
The attempt against the Reserves has been aban.
doned at least for the present. and the citizens with
the exception of scouting party of eighty men, have
dispersed and returned to their homes Numbers are
engaged in removing their families from the frontier
to places OF safety. Jack county is almost entirely
depopulated The settlers in their anxious socitude
for the safety of their wives and children, have left
their all of worldly comforts the wheat to rot in the
| fields the growing corn to perish for want of cu
ture their granaries and meat houses to be robbed
and their dwellings, in some instances. with nearly
all their contents to be ried and burned by the saw
age foe all, all they leaving for the sake of pac
ing those dearer to them than life ITSELF where they
will receive that protection which our inefficient Exec
utive is either unable, unwilling to extend them
Depredatons continue to be the order of the day. and
we are informed by persons who have visited the suf
ferlng counties and investigated for hemseves-gen
| tlemen who stand as high as any in the State ani
whom we know to be reliable-that the suferings O
the frontier settlers have passed the bounds of human
endurance, and that there is not the shadow Of
doubt but that the pet Reserves are the guilt,
parties.
The San Antonio Texan of the 10th SAYS:
learn that two companies from Van Dorn's camp ar
rived at the Brazos Agency on the LIST of June, ant
that they were prepared for hard fight, should oc
casion require it. Baylors force, consisting of SOM
500 men, were encamped about fifteen miles distant
and affairs still bore threatening aspect.
The editor of the Bolton Independent has seen ,
gentleman just from the of the Indian troubles
who states that the frontermen were dispensing, ant
nothing more could be done at present. He further
more said ten men had agreed to assist Capt. Baylo
in gathering his cattle.
The Independent states that Gov. Runnels has dis
patched some four Or five men to the Reserve, to Sc
if peace cannot De made between the contendin
forces at that place. DR.. Steiner of Austin, Capt
Brown, of Bolton, Capt Smith and Capt. Erath, {
Waco, have been appointed.
The Independent states that the black tongue hs
attacked several cattle in that vicinity, though br
one or two have died.
The Collins County Messenger, of the 10TH says
The wheat crop in our county this year. thong
somewhat damaged by late frosts, is abundant, an
we presume does not fall short of It's 900 busbel
and possibly exceeds 100000. The oat crop is yer
heavy, and on yesterday we heard farmer speak {
shelled oats being offered at twenty-five cents
bushel. This ia entirely too cheap, and shows tbs
we must have railroad to carry off the surplus pr
duce. Corn was perhaps never more promising
this season of the year, and with one or two NOR
rains, the yield will be greater than it has been fc
several years past.
