CoTToN-STATE OF THE CRor-THE PROSPECT OF
A SHORT YlELD.-We have made numerous ex-
tracts from the Southern papers, giving the present
condition of the growing plant At this moment this
crop watched with the most intense anxiety, and
any correct information direct from the different
sections of the South must be very interesting and
important.
The following is from the Charleston Mercury of
the 10Th inst =
Extract of a'letter, dated Wadmalaw Island Aug
15lh.-lh have Just returned from visit TO my plan
tation on Edlsto, and am sorry Ia inform you that
the caterpillars have made their appearance in my
crop there. If they be not arrested Immediately,
and if they spread over my field, my crop will be
lost as ii is (ike most oihers) very backward, and
have scarcely any ripe fruit
Extract of letter from wealthy planter in Sum-
ter DISTRICT" The Cotton crop in this district is
generally very backward The recent heavy and
continued rains have caused the weed togrow very
rapidly, without maturing. 1t has commenced also
10 shed very much. This, together with the very
late spring. will of shorten the crop very
terially-and unless should be favored with
cannot realise more than two thirds (f indeed so
much) of an average crop perhaps but little more
than half so much as last years"
NEW CoTToN.-The New Orleans Tropic thus
contradicts its statement about the =" SIX bales OF
new cotton :" We stated Yesterday that six bales
of cotton had been brought to this city the day
previous by the steamer General Harrison We
were humbugged We received our information
rom Captain Elliott himself he was deceived by
the shipper at Rodney From what we learned
yesterday, we doubt If we shall have any new cot
ton IN market Tor some weeksyet.
The CRoPs-Corn crops are now made, and so
far we have been able to learn they generally
good-fully an average ene Cotton looks promls
ing, but it is feared the late continued rains may
cause il to rot, and we have already heard some
farmers complain OF lis shedding the forms, which
will doubt be the case generally should the wet
weather continue much longer The cotton crop
is fully one month later now than of an ordinary
year.. So that with circumstances altogether favor
able from this time on we can &c arcey look for an
average crop And should there be an early frost,
the crop must prove far short OF what it was last
season. We speak of course only In reference TO
our OWE Immediate section, where our knowledge
extends, and from the Information OF those with
whom we have conversed the subject Fort
Gains Whig, 18th INST. =.
THE HArvrsr,-Ths wheat crop is all gathered,
and the yield is said TO be fully equal TO that of last
season. We have heard of one field near this vii
lage that yielded Sc bushels 10 the acre, and there
many which will probably come fully NJ to IT,
John Hartman, Esq has yield of about 80 acres
which will probably produce an average of 40 BUSH
els to the acre. We understand that General Mills,
Of Mount Morris, has upon his unparalleled fats
80 acres, which will produce an average of more
than 40. bushels to the Who takes the pre-
