sponded 10 here, with acc!ama,ions and reIui-
cEeS. I'll. advance IL lihcily is true 10 i,s pnr-

in their councils and fields | look forward 10
HE time when the West, with her spacious I'M
cultivated wi,is, wher" civilized man has never
made Il track; will lie Covered over with flourish

Zalion and the well known voice Of the church
bell will supercede The bowling OF wolves and the
frantic shouts Of The sa:age-whcn Americas

Ten in living l,rers, will whi;en waters and
streams unknown, aud cover North America with
her broad aais.

here 10 an alarming extent. The corn crop is
seriously injured. In some neishborhoods, there
will not be half crops made. The Cotton crop
here will fall short good deal The drought
has been Of such duration, that the cotton
plaiit has pretty well formed OF developed Itself,
every small, and is now opening premalurciy--
not more tina = leel hi2h in great many sections.
