The CRors AND OUR PRosPEcTs.-Ac-
counts iium various sections of the county
represent the crops as fourishing. From
the extreme backwarduess Of The spring
and the unusual quantities of rain which
fell al time TO interrupt the pursuits of the
farmer, il was apptehended that our crops
would fall far Lencalh their usual average.
But since the warm weather commenced in
good earnest, we have had fiue aud seasun-
ablc showers, and If we can have another
good rain in few days, corn crops will be
secured. Our upland cotton looks well,
and even on Rcd river, where the overflow
this season has been so destructive, VIC arc
iniormed that fair crops will be generally
raised.
The pc oplc still adhere 10 the same course
of economy which has characterised them
for several years past, and their farms bear
evidence of The same inde:atigablc :Ddnsiry.
Under this state Of things times must
brighten. The wan, of sound, uniform
currency is the only drawback TO our pros
perity. We feel this inconvenience daily,
in all our transactions, both in buying and
selling, shinp,asiers are worthless, aud
specie VIC cannot get. A National Bank
would relieve US of tho first, and supply the
deficiency Of The last.

STARTLING DOCTRINES

bitter pill has been swallowed under The
