The CrOps.


The Natchez (Mss) Courier, of the 18th inst,
says:-We are sorry to be the recorders of d,sas-
ter and prophets of doom, to the planting interests
OF the South but tbs, nevertheless, fact that the
perverse auguries are against the cotton and sugar
crops of 1919. The severe frOsts of April 10Th,
which rendered the second planting of cotton SO
generally necessary, threw the young and tender
planttoo far INTO the season for weeds. aud,
quenty, there has been fierce struggle for mas
terry between the staple and the grass. In very
many Instances. our mississippi planters have sur
rendered the culture OF the poorer portions of their
fields, In order 10 save the more promising parts.
Indeed, we have never heard 80 much complaint
OF the rampant fertility OF the weeds as this. year;
and have no hesitation IN computing, that the loss
to the cotton crop, from the young state of the
plant when the grass vegetation burst out at once,
choking and overshadowing 1t, will be fully one
fifth OF The crop which might otherwise have been
reasonably calculated upon.
Thus the case stands at present, while the usual
CONTINGENCIES , ; of f. worms, blight and beating
OF high water upon many plantations, and the very
general prevalence of cholera among the slave
population, are also disastrous items, difficult to
compute, and indicative only of gloom. Hundreds,
we may say thousands, OF negroes, have died along
The valley of the Mississippi, from this terrible
disease. The constitution Of the negro cannot
stand the cholera tor a moment II has been
dreadiully fatal among them on all large planta-
tons where 1t has broken out, while the white
population has suffered comparatively little
negro can recover from fever that would termi-
nate white mans existence very speedily; but
with cholera, the case is entirely reversed. We
are glad to be able TO say that 1t is abatlng very
generally on the river plantations at least we
have been tolAso by one who ought to know.
Our statistics OF the sugar staple, and the inn
mense losses sustained by the crevasses, and the
too indefinite to afford the basis of a calculation
This much is GO fixed fact that the promise of
the sugar crop never looked more gloomy De-
spondency seems to settle down upon the planters
OF the great valley OF the Mississippi; and even the
and mlldew, said to be generated by the great
April frost.
The Wynah Is. c. Observer, of the Goth inst,
says The weather continues seasonably warm,
but rain Is much wanted, and the inland planters
dersand, is not as promising as is common at this
season of the year.

Business still continues excessively dull in this
place, and a perfect state Of hopeless inactivity
pervades all classes. The wharf yesterday pre-
scented the appearance of Sunday, on account OF
the intense heat-9I deg. in the shade. Not man
was to be seen on the levee; and but one decent
boat, the Hamburg, in port. The river is very
low, and continues to fall slowly There now being
but 3ft. Gin water in the channel, we shall shortly
have nothing but stern wheel boats at the wharf
boats that draw eight to twelve inches water, and
some that can run the next morning over the heavy
dew OF the night before The large boats are all
laid up until September, on account OF the lowness
OF the water and scarcity OF travel.
We had quite a serious 6nemte at the Pitts
burgh Theatre last Saturday evening, which, how
ever, was queed without calling in the aid of the
military, or killing % and woundng 81. The ami
madversions of the audience were directed against
MIR. w. III. Crisp, the stage manager, who was
charged from the boxes, by some of the audience,
with bad management In the affairs of the COM
pany--of keeping back good and merltorious ac-
tors from the public, and, more particularly, MIR.
OXley, OF the Chatham Theatre, and the daughter
Of the manager of this theatre. He was Kissed and
hooted, and finally driven OIL the stage /; but again
appeared, with letter purporting 10 be from Mr..
Oxley, stating his intention to retire from the
stage, dated previous TO MIR. Crisp's assuming the
reins Of government. This was pronounced for
gerry by the b'hoys; and as each performer came
out, he underwent severe cross-eXamlnaton as
TO whether he knew the hand writing of Oxley or
not. This satisfied them, when they answered
that the letter was genuine. Crisp was then taken
10 task In relation TO Miss Porter. He said that
young lady, on account of i'll health, has decided
to withdraw from the stage, for years previous,
and her withdrawal was not act of his. To this
Mr.. Crisp received a reply from female in the
stage box, said to be a very near relation Of the
young lady, who branded Crisp with the name of
liar, &c; &C. This was the grand eliminating
point: the curtain dropped, and the noises, &c,
for few minutes, were deafenng After a while
the b'hoys dispersed, and everything was quiet.

LEGAL REFoRM The following memorial Is now in
the Law Library for signature 1t only necessary to
draw the attention Of the legal profession to this fact
The members Of the New York bar respectfully
present to all the courts In the city of New York
That at all times and most especially at the present
season, heavy day calendars grievance Of most
annoying character.
That their tendency Is to derange public business,
harrass the sutton and witness and to expose the
beers Of the bar to unmerited censure
That experience has demonstrated to their entire
satisfaction that term commencing with obnoxious
Gale ndsr Of this stamp is invariably comparatively
useless one.
The members Of the bar further represent, that In
their Judgement the dignity of the bench is not ad
vanced by the daily calling Of an idle and unanswered
CALENDAR the public being placed thereby under the
false impression that the Office is too heavily paid for
where the duty to be performed Is Of character 80
useless.
They therefore most earnestly pray that the practice
may be discontinued
II is already signed by Mr.. Anthem and a number Of
others. We have word or two say this subject.
