CROPS IN TEXAS.

J. +. Power, a former resident of this
city, writes to friend in this city from
Bell county Texas, as follows: "There
never has been a more favorable season for
crops. In regard to my own corn crop
can see nothing to prevent me from raising
IS bushels per acre, and in the county
throughout the average will be upwards of
so bushels to the acre. Cotton looks as
well as corn, though not so nearly matured,
being only in the bloom. 1t is generally
knee high, and from present appearances
q bale to the acre will be a short crop.
large amount Of stock is being driven from
this country, and the result is, horses and
cattle are much higher than they were
year ago. Overfve hundred thousand head
have been driven ,over a single rosd In this
county within the last three months 1t Is
evident that this business is to fill the coun-
trv with money. With half a mIllion bales
of cotton this year, which bring us forty
million dollars, coupled with our extern
sive cattle trade, you will see that our pro-
auctions must reach near one hundred
millions. / mean of course our produc-
tions for shipping. Consider with all this
that emigration is pouring in from every
quarter very rapidly, and that the extent Of
our territory is sufficient to accommodate
them without any inconvenience by the
hundreds of thousands, for many years yet,
and you viii perceive that if let alone poll
| tically, we will soon be the Empire State
Of the Union. -----.-.E

A Hundred Negro COnvicts Attempt

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, VA, July H.
The negro convict force, 100 hundred in
number, under contractors of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad, near Millboro,
Rockbridge county, made simultaneous
attempts to escape yesterday afternoon,
by rushing upon the guards. The fellows
seized the gun of one of the guards, and
shot Lewis F. Swaltz, white man, killing
him, after which several shots were fred,
wounding four convicts, but none mortal.
ALI were arrested except two who are now
at large.
Great excitement prevails among the
citizens. The supposed convict who fired
the fatal shot, is wounded and now in Gus
tody. 1t is with difficulty that the citizens
have been restrained from executing pris-
oners. This is the second attempt made
by the convicts to escape.

Funding bill.
New YORK, Jnly 12.-Affairs in Wall
street were comparatively quiet during the
morning, although gold was extremely
sensitive owing to cable reports concern
ing the prospect of war. London tele-
grams at the opening of business reported
an Improved feeling and a general recovery
in prices, 520's of '62 being quoted
at 8S4. This was owing to a London
report that Leopold had declined the Span
ish throne. Later kilograms, dated 2
o'clock, denied this report, and said an
unsettled feeling again prevails, 5-2O's of
'62 having declined to S7a.
Foreign bankers whose transaction now
control the gold premium were sellers on
early dispatches and buyers on adj

transactionswere at 1I344 /, after which there
was an advance to 113s, a decline to 1134

In the afternoon the excitement in the

Immediately accepted this as meaning

At this junction the report was revived
that Leopold had withdrawn. This caused
a tumble to lib, when the downward
course was arrested by the announcement
from Washington that the funding bill
had been defeated in the House. Under
this news the market quivered for
time between 11344 and 1873, but itwassoon

by the Geographic name of Morse, and he
was yesterday srraigned and tried before
Justice Brien on the serious charge, pre-
ferred by persons of the colored class, that
his conduct toward dusky female had
not been as chaste and elegant as public
morals and the Code require The fact
would be written with emotions of sorrow,
but for the additional fact that after full
hearing of the evidence Morse was honora-

The Annual Battle of the BOync-
Hundreds Wounded and Several
Killed.
While the Orangemen were celebrating
the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne
at Elm Park to-day they were attacked by
800 Irish laborers whose anger had been
rousad by expressions made by the Orange
men insulting to their nationality aud
faith. The assailants used stones and the
implements with which they had been
working. The Orangemen defended them
selves with their pistols.
Thomas Grady was shot in the head and
instantly killed, as also John Brady, four
teen years old, together with man whose
name is unknown. -Four others, Patrick

and succeeded, by a vigorous use of their

Renewal of the Fight
Subsequently the cars conveying the
Orangemen down town was attacked and
several persons wounded and the cars badly
damaged.
Thomas Kane was met by Orangemen in
Central Park and fatally stabbed, The
affair created the widest confusion in
the neighborhood of its occurrence.
Later-The Riot "a Serious, and Ia
tally Extensive Affair.
From accounts received at the police
Headquarters to midnight, it appears the
riot assumed more serious proportions
than at first supposed. There are different
versions of its origin.
Superintendent Jordan states that the
Orangemen played party tunes, used in
sulting and opprobrious epithets, and II.
nslly threw stones at the workmen and
fred several shots before attack was made
upon them. The workmen then assaulted
the Orangemen with spades, shovels, and
every available weapon. The Orangemen
used revolvers, with which nearly all were
armed.
Capt. Hilme states that the workmer
were the assailants, and after two or three
hundred of them had stormed the Park
and driven the three thousand Orangemen
out, the fighting was carried on in a scatter
ing manner all over the country.
During these skirmishes some hundreds
were wounded and several killed, but foil
particulars are not yet ascertained. Three
workmen are known to be killed, and five
we're taken to Bellevue Hospital in an IN
sensible condition.
The wounded Orangemen were takeI
from the field of conflict in carriages, ant
it is, therefore, impossible to ascertain
their number. But so far it is believed
no Orsngemen were killed.

The Funding Bill.
The prediction so often made that the
Secretary of the Treasury would secure in
a conference committee in the last days of
the session q funding bill that would be
acceptable to him, and that he could sue
cessfully enforce, was realized by an agree
ment on bill for funding fifteen hundred
millions of the present bonded debt into
three new classes of bonds, as follows:
L A ten year bond at five per cent, of
which ten hundred millions are to be
issued.
2. A fifteen year bond at four per cent,
of which three hundred millions are to be
issued
8. A thirty year bond, of which one
thousand millions are to be issued bearing
four per cent interest.
The principal and interest of these bonds
are to be paid in gold, and to be exempt
from all taxation. The interest is payable
semi-annually and in this country, the
Secretary falling to have inserted in the
bill what is known as the foreign-loan
clause. The rates of interest are the same
as in the Senate funding bill, which passed
March H. Besides the classes of bonds
into which holders of the mstured 5,2Os
can convert their bonds, the bill provides
for the cancellation of such bonds as are
now, or may hereafter, become redeemable
by using the coin in the Treasury deposited
there, as provided in the original House
bill, or by using to certain limit coin de-
rived from importers to cancel said matured
bonds. All future National banks are to
be organized on these bonds, but the fea-
ture Of the original Senate measure which
compelled the existing National banks to
exchange their present bonds is omitted.
