FROM NEW ORLEANS.

EXON n EW OkEEAN
We have received by the ship Chancei,
lof, Capt. Minugh, New Orleans papers
to the 9lst July inclusive The only ar
ticie of intelligence which they contain is
the following. relating to the Crops, from
the Louisiana Advertiser of the Goth
New York Gazette.
From recent accounts we can state, that
the staples OF Louisiana never promised a
more abundant yield. especially that OF su-
gar--lhe fields are Literally groaDing under
their rich covering Ia despite of every
disaster. Louisiana. like Sampson Of old,
can never be completely bound. Her sg-
ricultura strength will break through eve
ry temporary entertainment; and must car
~ her sous IN triumph to the portals OF
wealth AMI grandeur. She must be the
mistress Of The West, hurricanes and rot 10
the contrary Notwithstanding.
SAVANNAH, July g7.-The long cont.
nued dry weather which we have expe-
rienced, will have the most injurious ct.
feCts upon the crops in this part OF The
country. We have received letter from
May river, S. G. which states that the
slmos. entirely destroyed the corn crop
lhe corn crop is materially injured, and the
prospect OF provisions tor the ensuing year
is distressing indeed We have learned
from other sources that the rice in the low
lands is perishiLg Tor W ant of waters. The
river is lower than it has been known tor
some years.
CoLuaBUs, IS. CO. Aug. 3.--Our town,
from it's first settlement to the prescott time,
has perhaps never experienced q greater
drought than that with which it is now Vi
sited During the month OF June the
drought was very severe; and On the 4th,
9Th and 9th Of July there was rain, but its
effect was soon lost under the intense heat
that then did and still does prevail. The
gardens in the town are almost entirely de
stroyed, and the corn in the town and its
neigbborhood, is in many places literally
burnt up. h is considerably the hottest
summer that we have experienced since
1897: fh the month OF June in that year
il was as hot as il has been the present
summer; but that heat did not last a.
boye three or tour days; this year it has
heen of several weeks duration; bat Sill
we enjoy good health and hope aud trust
we shall continue TO do so, as our oryest
seasons are usually the 1iost healthy.
