The Drought and Crops In Texas.
The Nacogdoches Chronicle Of the l7lh nil.

The Nacogdoches Chronicle Of the 17lh ut.,
says:
4 drouth like the present in Eastern Te1asis
mol within the remembrance Of man. For over
two months hare we looked and prophesied tor
rain, but in vain. During the past week the
mercury stood at from lDuto llU deg ees. Sucl
intensely hot we4sher WAS never known here
bslore. So parched has aiI vegetation become,
and 10 barrea the nurface Of the earth, and thu
Temperature Of ever. thing so great, that the
strong GUNNER breeze, which We have aIways
heretofore cou1ted for its cooluess, and nerve
bracing elect, now sweeps orcr the country
With dr5ness and whitening effect Of sirocco,
and We seek 10 aroid its evil, as much as VIZ
heretofore sought it's good effects. The con>e.
quence il most disastrous; the people End i:
difficult to procure the necessary supply Of wa
ter; cattle and horses su1Ier, md in some i5-
stances perish from want Of it fields Of carr,
have ~itbered and become bl.ghted witltou.
producing an eAr, while thousands Of acres vii!
not yield The amount Of seed that was required
to plant them.
The cotton crops, which r.ual'y withstand all
aroughts, are alike Victims to it. The fores.
trees, unable to draw moisture from the earth
70 supply themselves With necessary sap, Ere
dropping and prematurely shedding their foil.
age; and still the ~itner'ng curse prevails.
The Brenhan Enquirer Of the 2ls. says:
The drought atill continues. The corn crop
u made, a2d truly small one it is, yet it is
thought sufficient for home consumption. The
cotton plant is seriously injured; uil the boil
are opened and the prospect Of further growth
cut OF without Butli:'ent and timely rain. The
present prospect IL about 400 pounds seed COT
ton per acre, equivalent to IN entire failure.
