A View Of Texas.

The following is an extract of a letter
from gentleman who has resided in Texas
for years, and seen much Of the country =
"SAN ANTONIO, Aug. Is, lS59.-So here we
all are, sweltering in a temperature OF 100
Fab. in this great caloric OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
gasping for breath during the day, and bust
ly employed all night in catching the sitali-
ty lost during daylight; and when we get
up in the morning, SO tired with such hard
work, that we are almost unequal to the
efforts Of the next twenty-four hours. Elk
istence here, you perceive is labor, keep
ing one actively employed in a climate
where rest is So necessary. Hence, ! sup
pose, the reason people are considered 50
lazy here. allowance not being made for that
severe work of existence, which eX!iausts
the energies. have become quite envious
OF the chamelionS and other carmjHs re-
joicimg in hot sun. We are again burnt
up this summer-no rain since Apri-no
crops or grass, and the prospect Of cannl-
balism rapidly approaching, rs unless they
eat up each other see no prospect, at pre-
sent, Of other products being afforded | am
30 glad that D did not come to this
country. as you would all have starved. If
YOU can raise any thing else in Virginia,
the crop of black and whortleberrics, cher
ries, &C., is always good, wherein you have
greatly the advantage over Texas.
How | would ike Ia sit under one OF your
shade trees, look III Il high cool peak OF the
Blue Ridge, and eat biz plate full OF
whortleberrieS, with u chunk Of lee III IT,
and between mouthiuls. rest my foot within
the glow OF IL hot iron, To bring more torci-
bly, to my mind, the delightful contrast be-
tween enjoyment there and in Texas-nn-
less forgctfulness Of present purgatorlal ex-
istence should prove still more pleasant
For all our dlscomiurtS, too we pay higher
than we should for iururies elsewhcre-the
worst part of the bargain. For instance,
for sweet potatoes in this season Of their
greatest plenty, we arc paying Si.D"; Tor
Irish do. Toe. ! h.. for ice soc. { H.. Tor
servants SIS to $50 per month-wilh such
items you can imagine it 10 be hard to make
both ends meet.
In fine. the heat, drouth. and dust are
such as to render il almost impossible to
take exercise on foot This. added to the
inability to get scarcely any meat or any
thing else 10 eat, but beef; and corn meal Of
ten two dollars and fifty cts. per bushel
and suffering from the discomforts OF bad
houses and persecution from ants, mos
quitoes, &C., &C., with the absence OF
churches and good schools, makes me doubt
full whether | shall not become disguised
with the country, by the time | add II dozen
more to the catalogue of liSayrerab(cS."

Loss of tho Fulton.

We find the following extract ir"ma private
letter in the Washington Star, concerning
the loss Of the L. States steamer Fulton
"S,iember t. lSj9.--The Fulton sailed
from Kew West on Saturday last, tloth Sep
tember) for the coast Of Cuba. The captain
was sick with fever when we lett. rs also The
master and one or two others On the Eth
the captain broke down, but refused to give
IN command Of the vessel among the Cuban
reefs. He consented that evening, however.
to have the first lieutenant take the vessel t"
Tortugas islands, the nearest healthy home
port. We made for them accordingly, but
the weather began TO threaten and We could
get no sights and were exposed 10 bathing
currents and did not reach our port rs eX-
pected On the morning of the 18th, In the
Cult Stream, to leeward Of the T"rtngaS. 1t
began to blow, and it was doubtful II we
could reach them twas necessary to bat!en
down matches to keep out the seas. The lieu
tenant thought we could reach Pensacola,
az the wind was fair for that port; 50 on the
evening of the 18th We kept off for 1t. The
gale increased and began very violent, and
we had to scud before it without sights the
l4th and 18th.
"Last night it blew with fury, ard the seas
were more dangerous. CLEARED we were
approaching land. and council was held to
decide what to do. 1t was determined that
If the attempt was made to lay her = she
would be lost; OH the other hand. II there
had been no current we should be more than
one hundred miles from land, and our best
chance was to run on i'll hope Of not reaching
land before day lu mid-watch, the gale in
crcasing still it was again consulted about
and at Il o'clock, A. NJ, while every one was
up and anxiously canvassing our fortunes,
the vessel slid ashore in the smoothest and cas-
lest manner possible, upon the sandy beach
When day dawned we were lying broadside
to the shore, which was only about twenty
yards distant, with fearful surge heating
against Us outside The kind hand of Provi
dencc only has saved Us. Not II soul is lost
or hurt We are getting our men and proNl-
sions ashore rs fast as possible

To INCREASE rnE SIZE OF FRUIT.-A soln-
ton of copperas applied TO apples, &c. it is
said bv a French author, will cause them to
grow much larger than usual. 1t should be
employed three or four times during the sea
son. commencing when the fruit first sets,
and being repeated at periods before the fruit
begins maturing, The applications should
made after Sunsct--never III sunshiny day.
Sulphate ofiron, (copperas,) lis well known,
induces rapidity of absorption. The use OF
sulphate Of iron has been prescribed as a
specific against the black knot in plum trees.
1t must be applied after the knot has been
removed bv cxcisicn.

rREsurr IL HARDY CouNTr.-On Satur-
tlay last this section Of country was visited hy
n tremendous i'reshet The oldest inhuhi-
tant' never saw anything like il. There was
more water in the South Branch than there
has been for wears before. The rain that
produced it commenced falling on Friday
morning and continued, with short intervals.
till II o'clock on Saturday. The river over
flowed it's banks about 10 o'clock on Sa-
turday.
The destruction to property is immense
In fact no correct estimate OF the amount OF
damage done can be formed The reslstlesS
tide carried every thing that was in its course
before it. The face of the water was covered
with mass of floating timber. We might
with truth affirm that thousands OF rails
nassed down the river The fcnccsfnr miles
along the river banks were swept away by
the flaming current. The corn along the
bottoms suffered immensely. Fortunately
for our farmers their corn was not cut up, Tor II
it had been, the greater portion Of their crops
would have been carried of by the immense
BODY of water. As it is the corn has been
laid fat on the ground and covered with sra'
vel and sand.
We have heard Of one individual who was
drowned in little stream near WardensViiie
in this county. -Hardy County wing.
