of our force sick, or pretending to be. Well,
will give you sample Of to-day's annoyances: ::
H. * comes in snd says he don't want Loudon, he
il entirely worthless; Rosa lays up because it is
Iret day (slight sprinkle before breakfast this
morning); Jackson is down with bilious attack
Jim is sick-always sick when there is any hard
Job like rolling logs on hand; Steve has gone TO
Court; the two Henrys and Dick are frst-rate
hands, but they are gone, too, as witnesses in a
case of quarrel between the two ladies' Emma

The Houston (Texss) Telegraph, of the 18th
instant, says: 'sWe had heavy shower last night,
beneficial to those crops which clean; likely to
prove, in conjunction with the late rains, which
we learn have been general, rather disastrous to
those fields which are in the grass and weeds
Unfortunately, most Of the cotton fields are in the
latter condition. 1t is duty to state, as truth
full chroniclers that the reports from the cotton
growing districts are not favorable. Most cotton
fields are in the grass, and in some districts We
are informed that the freedmen are not working
we'll as hitherto. The corn crops are 30 far ad-
vanced-being on many plantations already made
that they may be considered safe, as this crop is
secured. But our anticipations OF the cotton
crop are considerably less favorable than they
were."
