The crop-, both for the present and the en sui.ig y—ar, ar.- sutfering greatly from the drot.ght and the cattle on many estates ure dying for want of water. Iti ?-u*:it Kit* s lie want of water for domes tic purposes bid begun to be felt in the town of Basseterre and at ri.uidy Point. Every cistern in the town, with the exception of one in the jail, was dry. In riamt Lucia the drought continued very Bevere. Vegetation, the Palladium say*, is dried up all around.

In Anguilla the drought which h. 1 prevailed for si vcr.il months had reduced the poorer class es of the inhabitants to a state of absolute d-s;.- tutiou and misery. The people tire absolutely dying from want. Ah at load or more of ll’our aivicoru n.e tl bail been forwarded from Saint Christopher's fer tlieir relief. From Uarriacoa we learn '.hut the weather has been excessively dry, which was th- n->re m jurious, as previous to the ctmimenceir ent of the present month, (April) it was accompanied by a strong northerly w ind. During thu last three weeks the heat has been very great, .ml th t.-h there have been occasion;! 1 indie.items of ram, none lias yet fallen, and water for every purpose has become very scai-.-e indeed. Some of the ponds are cuitir Iv dry and cleaned out The crops have, therefore, teen much retarded, and as the canes are burning much faster than they can be got off, a good many will hs lost in con sequence. Ths young cultivation far next year has also suffered very much. The emi gration of the 1,1 orers. in quest of higher wages, b s been unusually great, particularly in on uni boys, to that the i states have been se • iously inconvenienced, as the crop is somewhat beyond the average of ill ■ last fo.v ve,-. Two smart shocks of earthqu ike were full here a few minutes ufter six o'clock, ou the mornim* of the 13th u't. ° In Trini,lad the weather contained fine, and me crop was progressing witji great rapidity.

The latter town is at the Rend of ( the Lake, nud oi usual steamboat, navigation, and is 1 the ol.kal town of iiupoitanre *■ tiled by while- in the 1 Teriitoiy.

Thf Lvte Lanji Slide at Stillwater.— The landing of Stillwater was improved quite extin | MVely and unex|M-eteclly a few weeks ago. A Midden rise in th“ water of a small lake, a short distance Iviek ii'mii the river, which had Ix-eu daiiinietl to ttf i ford power fir a saw-mill situated on a flat in limit of the village, caused the dam to give w nv, and a tre mendous mass of sand and giavi I was precipitated upon tin: bottom, unrounding and nearly tallying the nrl 1 , filling up several iu-res to a th-j th of from one to ten 1 •••», and affording a fine depth of water fur boats, up to th’- edge of tho newly eonstiiicteil levee.

Lake Sr. Croix.—The scenery of Lake Saint Croix, at this season of the y 1 ar, may Ik- vv II (h-noini nated lovely. Ihe lake itscll is a broad and placid sheet of water, (its average width i* probably not far from two miles,) of great depth, wholly destitute of i-l.i id-, and is sum muled by clean and hi althfnl I.Hik ing shores, clothed vv it!i verdure and studded with groves ot timber. The bluff-are not remaikalile for Icighi at any poiet, nor are the shores low or swam py in any ol their parts, unless at some judm where a creek empties itself into tin: Like. The quailitv >t the i"l b ud-ring the Lake has the appearance i.i’lh'- ing excellent.

St. Paul pos sesses a large amount < t enterprise, intelligeuee and wealth, f-r a new and i.o itier town, :uid we should think was a very | leasarf and healtliliil place of resi denre. It lias three well conducted new spapm *; -eye. ml large and commodious hous-s of public worship; a very go. d Court House, nearly Complet' d; good lu>- t Is; and nearly every convenience that is usually tound in town* of moderate si/.e, 111 any portion el'ihe Union.

It makes a delightful drive at all limes. £r. Anthony. —The village of ?t. Anthony is be-mtifuliy situated upon the Last sidt of tbi- Mississippi, immediately adjicent to the Falls bearing the same name. It is spread over a large surl ice u! elevated lend, and looks, with its mul titude of neat white frames, very much like many of tbe i\ftv England rural villages. Indeed, the town was begun by persons from that portion < f the Union, and we believe a large proportion of liic population is of A-inkee origin. The place numbers we should suppose, some 1200 or lol)0 inhabitant*. A very good newpaper is publi-died here. This i* live seat of iho Territorial Univ er sity. A large building fora Prcpiratnry De partment has been erected. An extensive saw mill has been erected adjacent to the Fall*, des troying in a con-fid*ruble degree 11i - romance of the scene. Four up-right saws and one circular saw, are now running, and preparations ar- near ly completed for four more upright saws. I're p nations are also being made for sawing upon lb« West side i*f the riv ( r. The Falls of St. Anthony-, w hen closely ap proached, present but little of beauty, in the just sense of that term; but there is a wild grandeur nbont the scene, and ail idea of power conveyed by the foaming current of lh** Great River, ((Moat even In-re, 2,5t>0 miles from its point of debouclicr ' into the ocean) as it rudies over and past the huge masi-ss of rock which would seem to have risen up to impede its onward progress. Tin point from w hich the best and most pleasing view of the Falls is obtained, is about one mile distant, upon the St. Paul road. Seen from there it puts j on many of the feature* of line beauty. Tin water appears stationary ; thu landscape is cur-! tailed with a thin veil of mist, and the whole M;eoe looks like a gig mtic but carefully executed picture. We were fortunate enough to behold it thus, in the hglit ot the morning sun; the im- . prewion then made upon our mind will not be quickly erased. The Little Falls.—No one who visit* St. 1 Anthony, in thu character of an admirer of na ture, should fdtl to extend hi* trip 10 Little Fails, a beautiful and picturesque cascade, situated about two miles from St Anthony, near the Fort Snelling road. This waterfall occurs in vvliat is , generally known as I.iitle Falls Creek, a consid erable stream which drains (we believe) Calhoun Lake and bills into the Mississippi a short dis tance below S*. Anthony. The height of the fall • is about 70 loot; and the clear sparkling water dashes over the shelving rock, and reaches the . foaiii.og basin below without a ripple. The sur rounding scenery is w ell calculated to heighten the attractiveness of this truly beautiful spot. How long this will continue to be the case, we are unable to say; hut we fear not long, for vve heard it said that some unsentimental dollar-and cent genius, designed to build a mill there shortly. | We trn-t the sacrilege mav vet ho prevented, and 1 Little Fall* preserved unmaned for the admira tion of the thousands and millions who will vet | visit there. Rather let the speculation—if spec ulation there must he—take the turn of furnish ing some alight convenience for visiters, and col lecting a tax from each comer for the enjoyment of them. This would be much less of damage to the romantic, and probably Just as profitable tdth£ operator. Rr.tß or Ant. Saints.—' The country be tween St. Anthony and Fort Snelling is of the most lovely description. Much of the prairie soil looks as if it had bren graded b v the hand of man, so smooth and level is its surface. ”1 he whole valley of the St. Peters is said to partake of the same character. We do not wonder that the whites arc impatient for the Indian title to be extinguished, that they may appropriate it to their own occupancy. Ft. Sneelin«. —Ft. Snelling is an extensive and pleasantly situated fortification. It stands upon a point of high table land, at the confluence of the St. Peters with the .Mississippi. Its garri son is rather deficient in active employment, and we noticed a number of the rank and file taking exercise in a large corn and vegetable field at tached to the Fort. It was certainly not exactly soldierly employment, hut it was much more manly, to our mind, than shooting and stabbing at £8 a month, and no questions asked. Map or St. Paul.—George C. Nichols lias made a map of St. Paul, which excels all others we have yut seen in accuracy. It is well litho i graphed; and Mr. Nichols ought to he remunera ted for his labor, by n ready sale of the maps. History or Minnesota. —We have com menced publishing this week, u Historical ne | count of Minnesota, which we feel sure-hus not been surpassed in erudition and research. AVe commend the careful perusal of these contribu lions, as they appear in the Pioneer, to the at tentive perusal of all persons. Few scholars have the talent and research united, to prepare a I history of such faithful accuracy, written in a style so chaste, coucise and forcible. Lines to Lake Pepin. —We think the author for hi* truly valuable contribution on our first page. Some of these lines are such as be ing once read, are indelibly printed on the mem ory. Wc do not remember ever to have had, in one week, two communications as valuable as this and the one mentioned in the paragraph next preceding this. Pews in Mr. N’eii.l’s Church. —The pews will be rented out on the first Wednesday in August, in tho afternoon. Let all who desire edification on Sunday, he present at the church that afternoon. “The laborer is worthy of his hire,’’and alth >ngh Mr. Neill lias labored with ns more than throe years, and spent hi- funds in building a chapel that was burnt down and n church thzt is an ornament to our town, we are not aware that lie has ever received one dollar of salary in St. Paul. The sale or lease of pews in his church, ought to afford hint a comfortable 1 salary; and for tite credit of the town and for the sake of liberal, enlightened Christianity, we hope that such may hereafter be the case. New Potatoes. —Friend Larpenteur, who is always rather ahead of the rest of them, seal us in a lot of excellent new potatoes, last Satur day. The drouth has been unfavorable to very early potat les; but nothing could be more oppor tune than the lute drenching rains, to set the tu bers of the crop in g. acral. There is cverv promise of a large yield; and no indication at all yet of the rot Some have been planting pota toes as late as the 4th of July. Oats. —This crop, or at least tally oats, "’lnch usually stand as high as your shoulders at this time in July in Ilenton countv, we learn is very much dwarfed by the drouth; such a droa , .h a s was never before experienced in .Min ueaota, and would have been utterly destructive of the crops in most soils. Whe at.— There is but little wintei wheat. The spring wheat will bo sweet and good, but the yield mucli lighter than usual. Corn. —This crop, which is now fairly set anil started, is coming forward at u guliop. It is astonishing to witness what six weeks of mid summer, accomplishes for corn in Minnesota.
