Mississippi Nsexns.

Crops-The reports from the river
counties, so far as upland crops are
concerned, are unfavorable. The Cour-
Ter, (Natchez,) the Vicksburg Wing
and other journals speak of loss FROM
the late drouth, and other causes, that
cannot be remedied. A similar condi-
ton of things is reported of the inte-
rior of the State, in the following para
graphs from the Holly Springs Herald {:
A few weeks ago the prospect for q
full crop of cotton in Marshall county
was as fattering as we had ever known
it before at this season of the year :;
but from various causes we are now
firmly of tho opinion that the cotton
crop of this county, as well as most of
the other counties in the State that we
have heard from recently, will be cut
short from one third to one-half.
The rust and botl-worm are making
sad havoc with many crops. A few
days ago Col. L. N. Davis, one of our
largest and most successful planters,
brought into our Office quite a number
of bolls from the size of pea to one
full grown, all of which were pierced by
the worm. He informed us that they
were doing immense injury to his crop,
and if their ravages were continued
that he would not make half crop.
Hundreds of other crops are attacked
in the same way, and we feel assured
that the drought, the rust and the cut or
boll-worm, will blast the cotton pros
poets in this county and probably
throughout the State, at least ne-third
if not half.
The Southern Star tells US the same
tale:
Up to the 6rst of this month, the pros
pect for an abundant cotton crop was never
better in the prairies OF Noxubee, but with
in that brief time the drouths, the worm,
the mayfiy, and at last, the untimely rains
have almost destroyed it.
NoXubee county will not make half a
crop,of cotton this year; add to this the
almost entire failure of the cotton crop for
several counties below this, and the fail
uFe of at least one-half of the planters to
make corn enough to do them, and the
prospects looks indeed gloomy.
For the failure in he cotton crop there
is no renedy, save it be in the consequent
increase in the price OF the article, and

Walker. Expedition 90 Honduras.

Walkers Expedition 90 Honduras.
We have (says the New Orleans
Pieayune of Wednesday last,) received
from gentleman personally acquainted
with the country. the following COM
munication ia reference to affairs in
Honduras, where Walker is now estab-
lished. It was called out by commu-
nication from another gentleman, but
the independent statements of the
writer give to it its chief interest;
Editors Picdyune.-~Having noticed
an article headed Politics in Honduras
from the pen of VIM. C. Burchard, an
inhabitant of that country, and knowing
it to contain many misstatements, l de-
sire to correct the same through the
columns of. your widely circulated
journal.
Your present correspondent is not Il
Hondurian, nor is he identified, politi-
cally, with the centending parties of
that unhappy country; consequently,
he has no Inducements to make er pGrte
statements, either of a civil, religious
or political character. Suffice it to say,
however, he has in his possession sutfi-
cient reliable data to correct public
opinion in this country, so far as it may
have been misled by the gentleman
referred to, who is really in the interest
of Santos Guardiola, at Comayagua.
MIR. B. begins by admitting that there
is a Liberal party in Honduras" True ;
but he makes no exposition of its political
principies--a strange omission, as his ar
ticle parports to be purely political. A fall
exposition would not have suited his pur-
pose. However, wall supply the omis-
sion.
The Liberals are in favor of 4 confed :
Grafton of. the five Central American
Statss with one President, one army, and
one navy. a tariff ON importations adequate
TO the wants of the Government. eGonom-
icaity administered: immigration, parti-
cularly of North Americans; encourage
ment of the arts and sciences; no export
duties no forced loans, but, instead, a
uniform system of taxation, based on as
sessment, and religious Soleration.
Mr.. B, moreover, makes SO alIusion to
the political principles efshiS own party
the Services. The contrast would have
been too marked, and would have furnish
cd the t est retutation 81 his statements.

AS IT SHOULD BE.-We are glad
to see that one of the Yankee States,
at least, has some morality yet remain
ing, even if the moral inhabitants of
the city of Boston did present the
Champion with a purse sufficient to
alleviate the sufferings of a number of
their matlue paupers:
Heenan IN Connecticut.-'T The boy
does not seem to prosper in his exploit
tation of the Yankee States. He tried
it on in New Haven, Conn, on the 2sth
ult., he and his associates going through
a series of their pugilistic perform
ances; but says the N. H. journal,
of the 29th, it was apparently that
they had greatly mistaken the character
of this community, for there were COM
paratETeiy but few persons present.
During the day there was a growing
indignation that such performances
We're tolerated, when the statutes so
positively forbid it, as follows: Re
vised Statutes, page $50, last section,
reads as follows: Every mountebank,
tumbler, ETC., etc, puppet shows, or
teats of uncommon dexterity or agility
of body, who shall exhibit or cause to
be exhibited on any public stage, ETC.,
shall forfeit and pay for each such
offence a sum not exceeding 5000 nor
less than $780, etc. We understand
that certain citizens, not being inclined
10 submit to violation of this law, COM
menced proceedings, and Heenan was
arrested, whereapon he gave bonds to
appear before Justice HOLSTER, at nine
O'Clock this morning, to answer to the
complaint.

Robbery at Grenada.-We copy the
following from the Grenada Republican ::
On Friday morning, the 2lst ult the
agent of the Mississippi railroad, at Gren-

broken open the night previous and rified
Of eleven hundred dollars in money
From circumstances that had previously
transpired suspicion was directed toward
youth named Robert Collins, formerly
in the employ Of the Illinois Central rail-
road, at Cairo, Illinois. Collins was in
the act of getting his trunk checked for
Chicago when he was arrested. Upon
searching his trunk one thousand dollars
Of the missing money was recovered, skei-
eton keys, pick-pockets, and miscellane-
GUS assortment of burglars tools were
found in his possession. He was placed
in the Coffeeville Jail to await an exams

D The showers Of some days back
have somewhat impeded the progress
of the Smelling of the Avenue Road.
1t is, however, again progressing as
fast as possible, and will, weather and
other circumstances permitting, reach
the end at no very distant day.
Speaking of the Shell Road, we would
inquire, where are the .jj3ys, hundreds,
t,Do, threes aud .tfve hundreds of dollars
which have formerly been spoken OF
as donation towards it's building? We
fael confident the full amount would
be quite acceptable just now, and that
the proper city authorities could ex-
pend it to the best advantage.

STATE LOTTERIES, sc.

In this State as well as some others, ii
is an offeace against existing laws to traf-
fic in orNend lottery tickets, there being no
grant extended by the State to any ndivi-
dual or company to carry sd the business
by authority; yet it will scarcely be doubt
ed that an equal, if not a greater amount
of money is daily invested in lottery tick
cts coming from other states and from
Cuba, than was the case here prior to the
prohibitory attachments of the Legislature
having been passed.
Since the prohibition of all lotteries
within this State, the sales of foreign tick
cts have increased here beyond the cal
culation of anyone who is not familiar
with the tra&c~N whether the said act of
our Legislature to prevent all lotteries
was either wise. well-timed, or beneficial
to the interests of the community at large
is doubted by many of our most able and
judicious law-givers and number of our
Legislators.
BE that as it may, We are of the opinion
that some of our citizens who are in the
practice OF dealing in lottery tickets from

The Telegraph at Helena.--Early
telegraphic communication with Helena
now appears to be fixed fact. The
Shield of the LIST says:
Mr.. Montgomery, of Memphis, the
partner of Mr.. Coleman in the telegraph
business, reached here few days since
and commenced work on the Helena
and Memphis line, and in the streets Of
our city can now be seen the tall poles
to support the lightning wires; and in a
few weeks we expect to receive a dis
patch from our friend Coleman, of Mem
phis, that the line is working through
to the Atlantic cities. This will be
appropriately celebrated at the Shield
River and Weather at Little Rock
The Gazette says:
The river, after rising some nine
inches during the past week, is again
falling with barely sufficient water in
the channel to float the very ighfest
boats. III
Heavy rain fell in the early poft8n
of the week, which may benefit The
turnip crop, but will have very inju-
rious effect on the cotton and sweet
potatoes now maturing in the bottoms.
Clifton Walker, Esq, of
this city, reached home on yesterday
morning from Alabama, (says tlle
Helena Shelby where he has been
spending several weeks. Mr.. w. brings
good news for the friends of Senator
Douglas, of whom he is an ardent sup
porter.

changes express hopes of rise in the
Arkansas river before long. We most
sincerely hope they may not be disap-
pointed.
.Abolitiomist Hung-The Montgomery
(Ala.) Mail has the following:
We learn, through a gentleman just
from the up-country, that on Tuesday
night last (28th August) the citizens of
Talladega took from the Jail at that
place the white man who was the ring
leader in the lately discovered plot
among the negroes of that vicinity,
and hung him. Yesterday morning he
was gracefully pendant to a Pride OF
China tree. We did not learn his
name.

Texas Items.

Short of Corn.-The Huntsville item
says that it will require fifteen to TWEEN
thousand bushels of corn to supply the
deficit in Walker county this year.
The Item urges that the people club
together and send an agent North for
it.
An Overflow. The San Antonio
Herald is informed by persons living
on the Cibolo, 1hat the rain of last Sug-
day raised that stream higher than it
has been known for many years. Fences
were swept away in many places sup
posed to be above the highest floods,
and considerable damage was done.
The Caleveras creek assumed the dim
ensions of a lage river-being half a
mile wide in some places, as will as deep
and rapid. s.. 81
The Corpus Christi Ranchero says
that Sea Island cotton has been injured
but very little by the dry weather.
The late rains have given the grass on
the prairies new star, and agriculture
there is generally prosperous.
More Killing-The Courier also has
the following:
We learn that teamster was killed,
few nights ago, near Victoria. We
have no particulars, except that the
murdered man was one of q company
of four belonging to Mexican train.
The Mexicans say that party of Amer
leans had camped near them, and had
killed the man. They were put in Jail
to await further evidence.
We learn also that one Mexican killed
another, few days ago. on the Qua
dalupe, in the Vicinity of Green Lake.
Weather, Business, Crops.--The In
lianola Courier says: The weather has
been generally pleasant this week,
though opening with very heavy
rain. With the exception of one or two
slight showers. there has been no rain
since Sunday, and we may be said now
to be in the enjoyment of delightful
weather-with an abundance of fresh
water end green grass. The roads are
improving faster than was expected,
and are now in very passable condition.
Business has been tolerably good.
though we have noticed nothing to brag
of in the way of trade. The general
health of the city cotinues good.
From the crops, we hear that the
prospect of 1.-The re-planting is good,
though tits too soon to predicate the re-
suit upon appearances.
