From the Times of the twelfth AID :ou.-
teenth We CLEAN che following:
An attempt was made Saturday night 90
rob Cheap Johns store, on Texas street,
which came very near being successful
The burglars had entered the store. packed
up a lot OF goods and got some Of chern in 10
the back alley. where woman living close
by discovered them and called tor The DO
lice. This alarmed the burglars, and they
dropped their booty and escaped. 1t would
look as though this kind Of business would
not cease until some of the rascals are
caugn. and strung up on the spot. That
will most certainly be the doom of all
caught in the act.
Colonel D. q. Martin and Arthur New
man are doing SO well that they have been
partially turned over TO the cook. Clark
Perrin has been wholly turned over to the
cook, and serious fears Of q famine are en-
tertained at Judge Perrins residence.
DIR. Allen was taken down before dav-
light Sunday morning. and Charles B.
johnson, son of Colonel B. NJ. johnson, on
Monday morning before daylight. DIR. AL
len went through The epidemic in 1867 here
and thus far in this epidemic, and this is
his first attack.
The death list Saturday hight includes
Major George Haymakeure. local agent of
the Texas and Pacific railroad, and James
Doll, clerk for &. w. Burt. Mr.. William
Walker, merchant on the other side Of the
river, died Sunday night.
Mr.. +. II. Hatch, who was saken sick
three days since, was clear Of the fever last
night, and doing well.

} WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE fellowins
| IS the agricultural report: The averag,
| CONDITION OF cotton in the first week of DC
Iober, as compared with the October re
ports Of 1871 and 1872, stands as much
higher than the former wear as it falls be-
low the record of the latter. The standard
crop being good normal growth, the
yearly losses from worms or other causes
almost always reduce the record below one
hundred, and the greatest reduction usual.
ly occurs in September. The average this
year has fallen off from eighty nine to sew.
enty-elght-halt since the first week of Sep
tember-a larger reduction than usually
occurs
The general average in October. 1871, was
seventy-slx. II was eighty-twO in October
OF last year-the area was one-eighth
greater i'll 1872, and the autumn more favor
able Tor development and picking. and the
result an increase of about 900, 900 bales
The area of tie present year was increased
ABOUT ten per cent, but a portion of the en-
largement was abandoned, and the October
status OF the crop is materially reduced
Ibe season must be of average length and
comparatively favorable for picking to in
sure crop equal to that of last year. The
STATE average areas are as follows:
Virginia 80. North Carolina SO. South
carolina 80. Georgia 81. Florida 76, Ala
oama !o, Mississippi75, Louisiana IS, Texas
oO: Arkansas e3, Tennessee 60 Missouri 80.
The worms have continued their rayages
ana made advances on new territory in Ar
kansas and North Carolina. Several coun-
ties In the latter State report the presence
OF the caterpillar for the first time.
A disastrous storm destroyed much cot
ton in Florida and the adjacent States on
the nineteenth Of September.
Much stained cotton is reported in the
seaboard States. There is general CON-
paint that the plants are already bare of
leaves, and that the picking will be COM
pleted at an early date.
In some counties Of the Gulf States it is
claimed that there will be an average crop,
the caterpillar and the boil
worm, while in other counties a loss of one
third OF the crop from worms is expected.

President Grant will return tomorrow.

tens.
Congressman Morey. chairman of the
on Mississippi levees, has re-
turned from Europe, where he has closely
examined the different systems Of confining
rivers within their banks. He thinks the
plan recommended in the report of Generals
and Abbott, upon which the
levee commissioners bill is based, will pro-
duce more desirable results than the plans
tor the valleys of the Rhine and the Pc.
Mr.. Morey intends pushing the bill early in
the session.
