Houston, Tex., April 13.---The Colorado river flood has now reached Wharton, and half the town is under water. So far there has been only one casualty, a Negro refugee being drowned in trying to reach the town. The people all got out of the bottoms and flocked to the town, driving their cattle before hem.
