CROPS IN MIssIssIPPI.-The Holly Springs
Gazette of the I'd says: The cotton crop in this
part OF the country looks better than was antcipa-
ted The warm, growing weather we have had
has brought 1t out very much, but il got so late
start, and the stand is so very bad, that nothing
like an average crop can be expected. The corn
looks we'll except in some of the neighborhoods in
the northern part of the county, where the planta
tons are suffering for rain. IL the dry weather
continues long, it will almost destroy the corn in
many places.
The Mississippan of the I'd inst says We WIS.,
tied Madison short time ago, and found the pros
poets of many of our best planters very gloomy.
There are planters who usually make four and five

over fifty and others, who make usually fifty, that

could set down, with the advice of one of the best
informed planters of Madison, the crops will not

Weare in constant receipt of information about
the forthcoming crop in all parts of the State.
Nothing has yet occurred to change our opinion,
that it is among the most disastrous seasons to
the planter, which we have ever witnessed. About
100000 bales instead of 100000 will be the extent
of our crop.

Seneca, Ontario, and Monroe, are in a truly high

description are healthy and vigorous Fruit prom

Monroe resemble the richest and best cultivated

seen, in that portion Of our State, so many acres

days since, and, blessed with good harvest weather.
most OF the crop has already been secured.
The Rochester Advertiser mentions the first re-

on the 9th ult, very fine sample, and says;
The yield is very large and every farmer will
return to his granary a product which far exceeds
any realized for many years past. The Harvest
Home will be glad one, indeed
