THE CROPS IN G ta.Tiir.
GEORGIA.--The Macon Advocate 911
the 20th • instant says :—We learn from a gentlemen who hipt
just returned from a tour through Baker, Lee, Sumter, Dooly
and other counties in Sout-Western Georgia, that the crop&
of small grain, particularly wheat, were never more . pre.
raising than at present. The corn looks well, but cotton,
in consequence of the wet and cool weather experienced ila
that adetion for some time past, -appeared rather backward,
and in some places Fears were entertained that it would die;
and the land have to be re-planted. The weather having
become clear and pleasant, however, with a prospect of
continuing so, the placate may revive;And prove thrifty is
