THE CROPS.

Z s Sa-S fs5trt Ek1 r. CHOFos. -. syse
The Wheat crops in this State, SO far as we have
been able to learn, have turned out finely Certain
ly, the farmer had favorable weather for
reaping the wheat and getting out the grain. The
Com crop is said to be equally good and our farm
ing friends have had excellent time for saving ther
fodder E@>sA
The Rice crop is said to be fair and of good quality
We have heard but little in regard to the Tobacco
crop, bat what we have heard from the Counties in
this State in which the plant is cultivated is avora
BILE. .We'presnme the crop will be an average one.
We:learn that owing to the continued rains in the
month Of Jane the yield Of grapes has been greatly
diminished. In some instances the vines have borne
but half the usual quantity, and what there is of the
product is more or less faulty and defective.
We quote the following from our exchange papers,
in relation to the crops in others States:s
CRops. The St. Martinsville (La.) } Creole, of the
Sd inst, says the late rains have not damaged the
crops SO much as was anticipated. g The cane is
improving under the influence of the genial weather
which we have had for some days, promising fair
harvest and the cotton planters busily occupied
in their cotton fields, which will yield good
age crop. The Banner of Attakapas' carried down,
on the 9th inst four bales of cotton from the
plantation of Mr.. Charles Gauthier, this place
the first which has been sent this season from
parish.
The Alexandria Republican of the Sd inst, says:
ssThe cotton crops in this vicinity have been more
injured by the late bad weather than represented
last week Two thirds of crop will not, it is thought,
be made, and many now calculate on making barely
half CROP"
The Carrollton (Miss.) Democrat of the 3Oth ult.,
says: f
this section of the State, with industry that
pletey destroys the fine prospect of which plan
ters could boast of three weeks ago. We believe,
however, that it has made its appearance simultane
nOCI
every quarter, we hear of its destructive ravages
SEWER, MISSY August 81.
We have had too much rain for the cotton crop.
The weed has grown larger than last year. The rust
has injured the crop in some places, has the boil
worm; but upon the whole there is promise of yield
equal to last years. The caterpillar has not yet
made its appearance. 1t is not too late for them to
do injury yet but the cotton is very well matured up
to this date compared with lasty year We shall com
mence picking in ten days if the weather continues
dry as it has been for a few days past. The corn
crop is fine.
The CorroN Crop. The Mobile (Ala.) Adver-
ser of the 7th inst, says: We have little addi-
tonal information concerning the prospects of the
lumbus and Cotton-Gin Port, give very unfavorable
accounts of the crop the Little Bigby. Heavy
rains and the boll=worm are doing much injury and,
without favorable change soon, half crop will
be made. The Upper Bigby is said to be very high,
and the surrounding country inundated with water.
From the Alabama river and the central part of this
State, the accounts rather better. The weather
has improved, and it is hoped that the ravages of the
worm nearly at an end.
TALLAHASSEE, (Fla.) Sept. 4.
THE WEATHER-THE Crops, &c. The weather
has been remarkably warm the past week, with very
light showers
The crops in the vicinity of Tallahassee are very
fine. A fair proportion Of fodder has been saved;
large crop made, and the Cotton plant more
abundant in its yield than for several years past.
l. THE TOBACCO Crop. We have conversed with
gentlemen recently arrived from the West, who rep
resent the prospect throughout the Tobacco-growng
region in Kentucky and Tennessee as exceedingly
discouraging, and express opinion that in many
sections the crop will fall far short of the last both
in quantity and quality. We have also seen hume
letters from different parts of the country, which
are sngularly unanimous in this opinion. The fol-
lowing, from the letter of an intelligent and we'll
informed planter at Bowlin Green, Kentucky, is one
of many. 1t bears date
&C July 31st.
"We have had a very wet July, and the growing
crop has been greatly injured 1t is now fully ac-
certaned that the crop will be poor one. A
great quantity of the Tobacco has become Frenched
and there is great complaint of its firing 1t is
duced to certainty that the crop in all Green River
country will be very inferior in quality, and the guam
tity nothing like what anticipated in the early
part of the season. Taking all these things together,
l am inclined to think that good Tobacco must ad-
vance, there will be very little of that description
made this season. Ne,U Orleans Delta.
