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.

The Dispatch issued an extra this after noon giving details ol the great battle ot Cbancellorsville. Its correspondent says that the fight was, in many respects, one of the bloodiest of the war.

NEWS FROM LiNCOLNDOM. Richmond, May s.—The Herald of the 2d gives a glowing account of the successful ad vance of Hooker’s army across the Rappa hannock, achieving a decided victory over the rebels, capturing 200 prisoners. The Federal troops were iu magnificent condition. Gen. Hooker superintended lay ing the portqon bridges near Kelley's Ford, in person. D®e must now come out and fight, or the powerful cavalry lorce of-Gen. Stevenson will anticipate him and cut off his railroad communication. The Herald says Hooker is aware at the tremendous responsibility of his condition. His success will be to him an enduring crown of glory, but should he tail, he is lost beyond redemption. The rebels in Western Virginia passed within 13 miles of Waynesburg, Pennsylva nia. The cashier of the bank there destroy ed $50,000 in bank issue for fear of its fall ing into the hands of the rebels. Wall street was excited by a wild specula tion in stocks. Gold was quoted at 151.

AugcstL April G.—The Druggists’ Con vention met here to-.day, a large number ot delegates, from all sections us the Confed erate States, being present. LL liuniy was elected President, and Messrs. Wil iams, Stevenson, Carter and Jones, Vice-Presidents. A committee was appointed to draft a Constitution qnd By laws of the Asfloulatlon. 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 dy -slide awake,” and not"“gone to bed.” Nfi communication hap been had with your city since the burning of Newton Station until to-day, By Sunday it is expected tbat the ffaia will go through on time. CUNT. 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 faithful self. -»-V Affairs in the CttKttuKEs Nation.—The late session in the Cherokee Legislature, which assembled in the Delaware district of the nation, at Cowsttin prairie, organized ou the 18th ult. Among the measures effe-ted was the re -vocation of the ordinance os secession ad the tieary with the Coulederate Government passed by the forme. Legislature. Au act was passed deposing from utiioe all Cheio kees disloyal to the government of the United slates', aud declaring them forever incompe tent to bold any office. A resolution was passed, asking the President to extend to the ■Jberokte Nation ton offer of compensated emancipation, At the same iirno a bill be came a law unconditionally abolishing sla very. lt is understood that another law was also passed declaring ali persons horuin the Oberokee Territory euip.-qs ot (no Nation!— This, ot pOHiap, includes persons ot African descent as well as' whites.
