u Improvements sin Mann tactures.-The
scientific American announces repolu-
lion in calico printing as at hand; house
lpaper is to be prinledso cheap that block
ling must be done away. Instead of Two
or three weeks, now required 10 engraye a
copper 5roller4of the highest finish, the
Inventor, with a few diamond point gra.
yers and acids,a gets up one in as many
hours. He has also invented a machine
for shearing cloth, which shears Eve 10
six hundred pieces ia a day, and does the
work bette. than it is now done by the old
process.
The Crops.-From all sections Of the
countryw we hear of aatiering propects for
good Corn crops, but most deplorable
accounts are given Of Cotton. And if we
were tojudge from the appearance OF some
fields we ha 70 seen during the last week
or two. we would say they were deplora-
BILE. One field in particular, in Mont
gomery county, Of about one hundred
acres-rhe cotton was almost hid from
sight by the grass. and had commenced
giving yellow appearance. 1t was lost
almost beyond redemption, for it is an
impossibilily to get it clean Of grass in
time for ii TO do any thing in forming, and
consequently will make nothing compar-
atively. This is the case in many instan-
ces all through the country. In conse-
quence of, The continued rains, in many
places it was beyond possibility for
farmers to give that work to their crops
which was required.-And then, those
who have been more fortunate than their
neighbors, 10 get their cotton clean, find it
s'run all to weed" and consequently will
not. unless dry weather commences SOON,
make anything like fair crop. We also
learn that. the worms have commenced
their ravages in many parts sof the State.
Taking all these disasters together, We
apprehend great fears that the collon crop
10 Alabama will be much less than any
previous year, Wetumpka Guard.
Orangburgh.-A letter from Orange
burgh, dated 25th ult. says-"Since ]
wrote you last, we have not had one day
without rain and some days three or four
heavy showers. My cotton is almost an
entire loss-I do not think, from the pre-
sent prospect that will make 10 bales,
about one fifthor one-fourth OF a crop. My
corn is very much injured-my potatoes, |
am afraid, will do nothing, the waller
having been half way up the beds, the
greater part of the time. for weeks at q
slretch.s: My rice, too, is very,inferor.n"-
