CROPS AT THE WEST,

The inclination to " croals" is considerable now,
and increasing fast. There is such common agree
ment in the accounts OF rust in wheat, that we feel
compelled to believe there is damage from this
cause. People must be careful, however, how much
they receive TRUTH in matter of this sort,
where there is manifestly injury sustained for
the spirit that croaks is also the spirit that exagge
rates.-C Cincinnati Gnz.
The Wheat Crop-From inquiries since last
we are satisfied that the injury to the Wheat crop
of country by the rust, is much greater than
then supposed. Very many fields are entirely de
sroyed, and will not be harvested at all, while al
most all fields injured to greater or less extent
The only fields that have escaped the rust those
of the May and Mediterranean seed.-GaHpOijs

Wheat Crop.-We learn that the Wheat crop in
this county is greatly injured and many farms en-
tirely destroyed by the rust. We have similar ac-
counts from the surrounding counties.-Paris (Ky)
Citizen, 29th alt.
The Harvest.-The Wheat harvest commenced
i'll this region about week ago. The rust has made
sad business with some fields Wesuppose the crop
will be injured at least onethird take the average
of this county. The continued drought for the last
five weeks will make the crop of oats and hay very
short. Not more than hali-crop OF either can pos
sblv be obtained now. The corn is doing tolcrable
WELL and with the aid of the rains the present week,
will make full crop.-BrookcWc (La) american,
29th ait.
In Ladiana.-The Editor of the Richmond Palla-
dunn, in a letter dated Lyiayette, (Ind) July /,
says: Immense damage has been done the wheat
crop in this section of the State by the rust. We
do not believe the Weld will be equal to half of
that of last year. Many fields will not be cut, and
in two instances noticed cattle turned upon wheat
fields the grain not being sufficient to pay for gather
ing. The corn crop looks well in most locations.
The peach trees are loaded with fruit.
CROPS AT THE SOUTH.
In .4IaJana.-We had conversation with gen.
tlcman few days since, who is conversant with
the subject, and he informed us it was the general
impression among the people that there would not
be half crop made in this county-but far as
his knowledge of the matter extended, he was con-
fdent that a large one, both of and cotton,
would be gathered in due time. We also learn
from other sources that the crops will far exceed
the most sangune expectations of many Of our far
mers, and that they will have ss enough and to
spare" The late frost, which was so destructive
to the crops i'll many portions of the country did not
materially affect it in this section. Taking every
thing into consideration, the yield will be album
dant as that of any previous season.-.4iabu,na
.4rguS, June 30.
In GeOrgin.-This is a critical for crops.
A drought would be very fatal to the crop; and
continued wet weather, as experience has shown,
is apt to nure the cotton plant in variety of ways
Up to this time, since the frosts and inclement
weather of April, the weather and the seasons have
been proptious for the crops of Georgia. The corn
crop lacks but short season longer of genial
showers to be perfected, and to be abundant for the
wants OF our people The cotton plant, too, under
all the unpropitous circumstances, is doing better
than might have been anticipated. But it is too
early to speculate upon the cotton crop. Too many
contingencies concerned to allow of speculation
on this topic. 1t is safe enough perhaps to believe
that in event the general crop of this article
be large one; or, in other words it is quite reason
able to believe that there is danger this season
of an over-crop of this artice.-.HHledgeUiHe Re
