SCARCITY IN TExAs.-The San Augustine Express
says this is the first season. for many years. that the
Red Lands have failed to produce good crops.
Not only is there probability of there being a
scarcity of provisions at ruinousy high prices, but
our wells are drying up so FAST that it Is seriously
feared that the people will be both thirsty and
hungry before they obtain RELIEF. County meetings
should Immediately be called and some measure put
foot make preparations for the dull dry times,
which are now upon US, and are daily assuming =
more threatening aspect. However unpleasant it
may be to recite our own misfortunes hear the
woes of others, we deem it due to the emigrants
from other States, to home debtors and foreign
creditors, that these facts should be known.
The Red Lands are much worse off, according to
this than any other portion of the State. The New
Orleans Picdyrne says 1t has not heard of any
thing like prospective want anywhere in Western
Texas

Ex-Governor Morehead, of Kentucky, who adj

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 1st.-Advices from Ore
gon by the California Express, state that
two Senators will probably be elected by a
coalition of the Douglas party and the Re-
publicans. Col. Baker has received the Re-
publican nomination in caucus, and will be
one of the Senators if there is any election
at ALL This is generally conceded on all
sides. Both Houses had adjourned until
Monday, September 18th.
AS the stage passed through Corvallis on
Friday night the l4th, the sergeant-at-arms
of the Senate was there with posse of cit
liens searching for Ascending Senators,
who, on the arrival of the officers, had tax
en- to the bush and scattered in various di-
rectons to avoid arrest. They had all been
stopping at Corvallis ever since leaving the
Senate. One was arrested by deputy, but
subsequently escaped.
