Crop Prospects in Texas.

Our accounts from the country, says
the Galveston News Price Current, of
June ID, are even more discourag
inc in regard to the prospects for the
growing crops, than heretofore From
all quarters we hear of heavy rains
and Overlooking rivers and creeks, in
undating the plantations on the bot
tom lands.
The passengers by the little steamer
Royal Arch, which arrived from the
Trinity day before yesterday, report
that the Trinity bottom lands are
nearly all overlooked. and the crops of
that fertile valley nearly all destroyed.
The water is said to extend to a width
ranging from three to eight or ten
miles The water was rising at the
rate of four inches in twenty four
hours at Liberty early this week. Our
accounts from Dallas and other points
of the upper Trinity are equally disas-
trous, and the wide spread desolation
is truly disheartening.
Heavy losses Of crops, stock, fences,
and in some. cases of buildings, are re
ported on Red River by overflow The
loss of property, beside the loss Of
crops. is said to be immense. SINH
lar devastation by crevasses in the
Mississippi and the overflow of the
bayous of Louisiana, is reported to
have extended over a large part of
Louisiana The cotton States east Of
the Mississippi have also suffered more
or less from the same cause, and every
account we have received is to the eff
feet that the cotton crop throughout
the South is cut OFT to the extent of
fully one half what was expected two
months ago.
Western Texas is represented as not
having suffered as much from heavy
rains. and in many places the cotton
crop is said to be very promising, and
doubtless there are many portions of
the other cotton States where pretty
fair crops may vet be made. But such
general devastation by rains and over
flows and hailstorms has not been
known before for more than twenty
years, and half crop of cotton is now
believed to be the extent of all that
can he made, for throughout the South
our accounts are the same, namely -
That the grass is Outgrowing the cot
ton, and in many instances the cotton
is hid by grass and weeds. Many
planters have abandoned large
portions of their cotton to the grass
finding it impossible to cultivate it all
with such labor as they now have. A
planter in Grimes SAYS he knows Of
but one man who has been able to
cultivate all his ground, and he has
done so only because he had secured
about twice as many hands as the
work would have required formerly
Another gentleman, just from Brazos,
says he saw but one plantation on that
river that was free from grass Simi-
larreports of the great damage being
done by the grass comes to US from
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi

very scarce in that region, and loose
