HUNTSVILLE, Ala, Aug. 8

CorroN CRops.-The Cotton crops in
this pari ofthe State arc believed to be ir-
rclrievably lost. The almost constant and
incessants rains for the last six or eight
weeks has caused an uncxampled sowth
of the weed. which already has the ap-
pearancc of solid mass over the whole
fields whilst their shaded condition will
exclude the necessary influence Of the
sun, and hence the consequent destruction
Of the bolls from rot and disease. Even
now. whilst we arc wiring, the county is
deluged with wafer, and the rain still con-
tinucs.-DcmocrQt.
