A CORES pondent of the Charleston Is. CT Mercury
Of the Esd inst speaking Of the crops in that State
says:-"n our own State the deficiency in the crop
will be the calculation Of the least sanguine Of
our planters have but little doubt that there are

who expect to exceed or even equal, their last

from these beiDg three weeks later than
would, Of themselves, render an average product
scarcely possible. They had, however, improved so
much in the last four weeks to induce extavagant
expectations in the minds Of some. But whatever
their hopes may have been the long cold spells of
weather and heavy floods Of rain which have late
ly had, have entirely Iispelled them and the fact
stands revealed to the most Of them that crops must
be short and should think exceedingly short The
pine lands will yield little nothing and have no
doubt that in three weeks the remnant OF the cotton
growing on them will be destroyed by rust and prema-
thing better.
The Marion Is. CO. Star of the 18th inst says:-We
never recollect to have poor crops and with
the exception of those of district and one
plantation adjoining in Darlington, scarcely
heid which we could call decent. Perhaps We should
qualify this, however and say that If had
those in our own neghborhood, might have consi-
dered the crops very good But where we have seen
whole fields Of healthy cotton two axd half aud three
feet in height well lmbed and covered with blooms
and then suddenly change to where it would scarcely
average ten inches high and but few blossoms might
well say there is very poor cotton In corn also
very far ahead our whole fields of that dark,
healthy looking which is generally fou nd good
land aud shows that planters attend to their land
without suffering it to become imps yeshcd for want
OF Intention replacing, through some means what
had been taken from it, Another advantage We think,
Is TO be found in the fact that planters generally
carry on an extensive system Of drainage which has
always proved benefit. Many OF the fields, in other
districts through which passed, completely in
undated and where this is the the planters must
sniler and in cotton particularly.
The st Frascsville La Chronicie of the 14th inst,
says he weather hersabouts has been thing but
agreeable for some days past Some of our planters
complain that they have not had sufficient rain while
Others have had more than is necessary The crops,
both sugar and cotton, look remarkably WELL all things
The Boston Trareller, Of the 25th inst, says:-The
late rain did not reach the potatoes and unless speed
y followed by heavier showers this necessary esculent
will be scarce and dear again for the coming year.
The New Orleans Picaytne, Of the 18th inst says:
Co. yesterday sold "Old lacks" cotona eight cents
per pound round. This we consider tip-top price,
and glad 1t Is as he is Of the greatest suf
ferers by the late overflow.
The winchester Tirginian, of the 25th inst says
We are beginning to be scorched by persisting dry
weather. The pastures and corn suffer greatly; in
deed If rain do not the latter crop will be
seriously curtaied. We hear of showers at distant
points, but Of any account visit neighbor-
hood The corn on the famous South Branch bottoms,
suffering greatly, cannot told, under any
circumstances make more than half crop. Most Of
the wheat crop be said to be secured aud in the
very best order. Some has been threshed. aud
told has equalled the highest calculation of the farer
We heard Of thir..y av1-u Of white blue stem giving
the remarkable yield Of thirty bushels weighing sixty
The St Louis (Mo) Republican, Of the 10th inst
saysWe pleased to hear that the crops Of wheat
quantity will be greatly increased by the additional
amount Of land brought into cultivation The crops
of other grains will also be materially and as
be said to possess all the elements OF prosperity and
wealth.
The habit Of crop croakingn which is extensive
" INDUCED in in the u nited States twice
year regularly about the beginning Of harvest and
generally along in January and February when the al
is so extremely absurd and perfectly
wewsnder 1t is persisted in People seem to have most
happy faculty Of not remembering that the breadstus
region Of the United States extends over some ten
twelve degrees of latitude and west from the At
lantc coast to and beyond the Mississippi Valley In
so extended country as this, and embracing many
different elevations and presenting such diverses Of
coil and climate the chances always that partial
failure Of the crops in one or two States will be made
up by the product Of the rest Of the Union.
The Cincinnati Gazetfe, In commenting on this SUBJ
ject, says-The deficiency in the wheat crop of Ohio
will be about third, from 600 to 100000
bushels This Is heavy loss to fall upon our State
but will be shared ey the reop. generally and ALSO 10
upon Ohio fer q portion Of their regular supplies of
wheat for, notwithstanding this deficiency, the State
will still export part Of her wheat harvest The loss
to our large wheat growers will be considerable but by
our farmers generally will be hardly felt The same
southern Indiana and southern Illinois.
From Michigan, the news is favorable. The Peninsu-
State win probably yield an average crop at least
From central and northern Illinois reports like
wise good, so far as received In the region around
Springfield the grain Is cat, and the Journal states
that the yield Is more than an average one. Corn Ii
represented hsvinga fine appearance in that vicinity
Similar intelligence reaches us frsm Iowa, where the
wheat crop Is becoming one Of some moment. The
Burlington Hawkeye says that the farmers have just
cut and put away "the heaviest crop OF wheat ever
grown" in that State The berry Is round plump, and
unusually large. The same paper ssys:t is certainly
Of very superior quality and the yield per must
considerably exceed the average Of the last sevsrsl
years These taken In connection with the fact that
the amount sown last fall and spring was much
greater than that Of any former year, tell most
tale for the farmers The same paper gives
good account also Of the growing corn Of Iowa
Leaving the West We have good accounts from Vir-
ginia, Maryland New York and Pennsylvania The
Richmond Ws states that in all virginia east Of the
aims the wheat generally harvested and that
though the crop suffered first from April frosts, and
subsequently from rust yet at will exceed

named
