Crop Prospects In Texas,
tf1om 'ne saiVeston News Price Current June 2dl
Our accounts from the country are even more
discouraging in regard to the prospect for tht
growing crops than heretofore. From all quar-
eers we hear OF heavy rains and overlooking river;
and creeks, inundating the plantations ON the bot
som 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 0yerowed and the crops Of that fertile
valley nearly all destroyed. The water IS sald e
extend to width ranging from three to eight or
ten miles The water was rising at the rate Of
four inches in twentyfour hours At liberty carry
this week. Our accounts from Dallas and other
points Of the upper Trinity are equaily disastrous,
and the wide spread des0lalon Is truly dlshearten
ing.
Heavy losses Of crops, stock, fences, ana 6 II
some cases of buildings, are reported on Red Rivel
by overflow Ths loss of property, beside the los
OF crops, is said to be immense. Similar deFasta

of our city are not probably aware Of the large

some other direction. It Womb seem as If a dna
consideration of this matter should prompt 10 some
speedy action to remedy the evil.
Ieis truly gratifying 10 learn al We d. of The
satisfaction Gem Kiddoo;s lata order
has given our planters. Ali tbe planters We have
seen speak Of that order in the same terms They
saw it has had a most happy effeet upon the ne-
groes, for every planter mas made it his business
% read it to all his hands 1t has impressed them
for the first time wish the conviction that the
.reedmenis bureauis no longer to be an "a l1ag1e
tribunal for their exclusive benefit, but that, here
after, they as well as fhe white peonle win he
sunallg required to adhere to- their contracts and
sgually punished for their violation The conse-
lnehce Is manifest everywhere They have now
3eased TO quit their employers as heretofore, and
hose that had done SO are returning hack for fear
If punishment. and all 60 to work now eheerfully,
ind work much better. Several planters express
he opinion that if that order had been issued two
months ago, it would have been the means of in
'ressng the cotton crop Of Texas fully fifty thou
saad bales beyond what can now be made.
