AMERICAN CROPS,


The Crops-From various sources, we learn tina,
both the Sugar and Cotton crops look remarkably
fine, and il not injured By storm, promise to be most
bountiful
Somenew crop cotton sold in this city on Saturday,
at Is cents. The quantity yet received is small the
planters not being willing 10 lose this fine picking
weather in sending it 10 market.-Y. o. American,

BENTON, Miss. Aug 25.
The Crops.-We understand from our planters
generally that Notwithstanding the unfayorable
prospects in the first of the season. the cotton crop
bids fair 10 be better this year than last 1t is much
better boiled and formed than last years CROP and
the stands have turned out TO be better than ex
peced. There is nothing COW TO be dreaded but an
early frost.-Baaner.
The Crops in North arolina-The corn and to-
bacco crops in Caswe and some other counties, are
said to promise WELL but in sections Of Orange and
Wake the drought has been severely felt indeed,
we hear that corn has already been sold in Orange
for 81 SO per barrel! The district between Hall
Tax and Wilmington, however, and indeed the coast
generally promises an excellent crop Of corn
Raleigh Star.
The drought is becoming serious in this section of
the country and the farmers are suffering conside-
raby Tor want OF rain. In Kentucky, we understand
the drought is unusually disastrous We learn that
Messrs. Fogg and Stickney, were in Flemingsburg
last week with their circus horses and that water
was so scarce in that place that it them $l2 per
DOTSeS-nOne
could be had within three miles of the place The
tarmas in the neghborhood are becoming alarmed at
the great scarcity of water, and expected Of the dry
weather continued many days longer TO be COM
PEELED 10 remove all their cattle from that section of
the State, 10 some place where water could be had.

Cops IN Nep Jcrsey.-Potatoes ne-fourth Of
crop; Corn two-thirds of a crop; Rye and Wheat
one-halfof crop; Buckwheat one-tourth of a crop;
Oats two-thirds of crop: Tnrnips are not up but
prices are. The Morus Mucaulis fever is little
declining, but still raging at from IS cents to 81 25
for trees
Crops in Misunderstanding to the Springfield
Journal the drought will not prevent large crop
of corn, which is now fast rpening. The crop of
oats has been good that of wheat olerable rye has
done well timothy has yielded good crop; potatoes
will be light-but take everything together the labors
of the husbandman will be well rewarded"
The following summary report of the corn tobac-
co and other late crops Of Virginia, is made in the
Richmond Wing:
From The best information we can obtain, it seems
certain, that in middle and lower Virginia, the corn
crops will fall below an average at least one third
in some sections more than one half The tobacco
crop too is very unpromising and will be shorter
than it has been for many years All the fall crops
are light; and the farmers have made preparation
| for another year. The time for seeding wheat is
near at hand and but few fields, none off the bot
toms, have been fallowed
| Pennsylvania paper thus estimates the prospects
| in the rich lands Of that State
Wheat-an excellent crop
| Rye-a very fair average.
Corn-almost an average crop.
| Hay-the FIRST crop abundant.
| Hay-the second crop total failure.
OatS--about two-thirds
In the mountainous districts, nearly all the crops
have failed.
