Crop Prospect*.
The Galveston (Texas) News of the 15th ult., says ;
“ We notipe that fi >ur is now being spld }P tfytfcijf at
$37 per hundred Rounds, vrhiph is, we believe, just tea
dollars b*-low the highest price it has commanded.—
But this, we think and hope, is ouiv the ccmnietca
ment of the decline that is bourjft to take place by the
time the (lour from Ums year’s wheat comes into mar
ket. In all our exchanges from tho wheat region or
Texas, we see that the prospects for a large crop was
never better. The late frosts, we are glad to learn,
have done no harm whatever to the wheat, and scarce
ly any harm to anything else in the upper country.—
The frosts eesm to have been mere severe along the
coast than in tno interior, contrary to the übual rule.
is now thought that the wheat is quite safe from fur
ther pasualitifcs. Only in two or three opt thir
ty years of bur residence in Texas, have frosts destroy,
ed crops us late in the spring as this. Such late trusts
have not happened oftener than about once evory ten
years. *
From all accounts the wheat fields of Texas are at
this time fully twenty five per cent greater in extent
than ever before, and should the crop turn out as well as
now' promises, the yield must be nearly double thqtef
any former year. There is one consideration, however,
that requires attention; we learn that there Is a defi
ciency of help on nearly all the farms ol the interior to
harvest tho'wheat, aud tliatJftuc.h of it will bo tost un
less assistance can be furnished. This is a matter in
which we are all so deeply interested that it perhaps
deserves the attention of our fciate military authorities.
Certainly something should be done to save the crop?
of those who are now absent in the service of the
country. We would also suggest that as there are
now many piantrrs immigrating to the Slat? with
their hands, thfj could net probably do better than to
take tlioir negroes to the upper counties for the present,
wheie they might find profitable employment in the
wheat harvest.

From the Jackson Appeal, 4th.
b'ropq iu lasts* ippi.
In consequence of the extreme reticense
ol our military authorities, we are in p OB
session of very littjo aqthentio or reliable
information in regard to the situation of al
fairs in this section.
In an extra slip, this morning, the Missis
sippian, publishes a few items which are
deemed teligble fiy ifie editor of that paper.-
it says that “our troops advanced from ttieir
entrenebments on Friday, and met the ene
my south ot Bayou Pere suspension bridge,
three mUes west ol Port Gibson - our artille
ry commanding the bridge. After fighting
from one o'clack in the morning until late in
the evering, Gen. Bowen was compelled by
the enemy’s superior three to fail back to
his origiual position. The entreuchments
were those thrown up by Miles’ legion last
summer, and are about a mile and a half west
of Port Gibson—the right being ou the south
bank of Bayoq Pore and the left extending
on the right ot bills leading to Rodney, on
the river about twenty miles below Grand
Gulf.
“The enemy being in very heavy uuuibere,
were enabled tq attack and outfUuk Gen.
Boweu’s position, and captured the 31st
Louisiana regiment. The loss on both sides
was very bouvy -the.figh'ing desperate.
■ Gen. Bowen again fell back, and the ene
my is sad to occupy our entrenchments.
From what we can learn, Qen. Bowen now
occupies r, of the town, south
of Bayou Pefc, with Port Gibson between
him and the enemy.”
-We think we may say with truth that the
aspect of affairs is much more cheering than
it has been for ike past lew days. We have
asßiH'ances from Qcv. Pettqs that the State
will be defended, and b« thinks successfully.
We know that large numbers ol reinfore"-
ments have gone forward to Vicksburg with
in the last three or tour days, and that others
are on the way. It is also htfiieyed that
Gen. Forrest by this tiipe .is at Rienzi, or
thereafip.qts, witfi a heavy cavalry force, and
it is believed that he will either prevent or
seriously retard the progress of the Federal
force .reported to be on their way »outh
from Corinth.
The report which gained aurreucy last
night to the effect that the enemy had gained
Edward’s depot on the Vicksbarg road,
proves to have boon a canard. Oar pickets
and scouts have not been able to get a sight
of the blue coats. A fight is regarded as irn
inent, to-day or to-morrow.
From the Mobile Advertiser aud Ktfjistrr.
Jackson, May 1, 1863.
.A heayy battle has been fought and woo
at Grand Gulf to day. The Federal* ad
vanced, and were * badly thrashed, They
were reinforced, and remraed to the tight at
8 o'clock. They ware met by Gen. Bowen,
and aljg*' a heavy battle of several hours,
were again tepulsed atsd driven back a mile,
leaving-the field aud their dead in our hands.
Gen. Bowen, has been hard pressed by Gen.
MoClernard with superior forces. The ac
counts so fir are very meagre. We have to
mourn the loss ot Brigadier-General Tracy,
of Louisiana. The slaughter has been heavy
on both sides. . DuringYHe fight the Virginia
battery whS at one ilia-: captured by' the
Federal.*, but the Confederates made a des
perat.e ohut'jge and retook it, and repulsed
the enemy. Gifu. Bowen has cplled for rein
forcements, which have h*-n sent, and which
will reuqfi him ia time. Gen. Pemberton is
said aLo 1 1 have gone down.
From Louisiana we bear that Gen. Magru
der has advanced by the way ot Niblett’s
Bluff, gained the rear ot Banks, and cap
tured 175 wagons and contents. This will
compel Banks to tali back.
From the West the 'news is cheering.
Price is far more successful than reported,
for good military reasons, Thera will be a
teaejion in the Northwest, for intense bitter
ness and bloodshed unparalleled on this con
tinent.
The cavalry raid ia still progressing down
the road with flourUibng colors They at
tempted to go to Rodney, but were out off;
then Vicksburg, with a like fate. They are
nowgeUjDg down into Gen. Frank Gardner's
neighborhood, where they will Sad somebo

Ivcidext OF TnE War.— A touching ro
mance in real life is afforded by the deaths
of Ofiptain Chalmers Glenn, of Rockingham
county. North Carolina, and his faithful ser
vant, Mat. Reared together tarn childhood,
Mat bid shared in ait the boyish pranks of
his muster, and, in later life,' had been his
constant attendant and faithful servant. On
the morning of the battle at Boensboro’, |
Capt. G'enn called Mat to him und said : j
“Mat, I will be kiiied in this battle ; see me |
buried ; then, go home, and be to your mis
tress and my children al ! yon have ever j
been to me.” From behind a rock the faith- j
ful fellow watched all day the form of his :
beloved master, as the tide of battle ebbed
and flowed over t at eventful field. At last i
he missed him, and, rushing forward, found
the prediction too truly verified -life was
already extinct. Assisted by two members
of his company, a grave was dug with bayo
nets, and soon the cold and silent earth held
all that was djprest in iite to Mat. Stowly j
, and sadly he turned his face bomewrrri. imd
there delivered all the viluables with which :
: his master had entrusted him. From that
time he seem-d as it his mission on earth
was accomplished. Though constantly at
tending his master’s children, and promptly j
j obedient to the slightest- word of his mistress, j
he visibly declined. Finally he was tukeu :
: sick, and despite the best medical attention ■
j and the kindest nursing, he died February 4.
1863. IVhat a striking instance of the power
of uff, atjon in the negro heart, and the
strength and beauty of the tie beisgaeii a kind
master and a iaithliil servant ! Peace to
Mat’s ashes ! May the unholy tread of a
' " negro-.worsbiper ” fiever pollute (he last •
resting place of his gallant master or his

And may they he welcome in triumph again,
To the homes of the brave and Irce.
May the storms ot lifo blow lightly o’er them,
For them may summer rose* bloom:
And when life's dream with them Is over
May they find a boma boyoud the tomb.
