The Stsamet Crescent We had fully intended

Of the fact for the first time by her excellent com
nandrr, Capt Young, that she was named in honor
Of this journal, and we. therefore, most deeply
regretted inability to bring her to the notice OF
the travelling and commercial community through
the columns Of her name-sake on her first arrival
But approaching the compliment as highly as if it
were fully merted, we made haste on her late arri,
val to pay her visit. We found, that though the
Crescent had not been constructed with view to
dazzle the eye, by the richness and splendor of her
finish and equipments, she is unsurpassed in the
excellence Of her arrangements for the accommoda-
ton Of passengers and shippers. We understand
she makes fine speed, and she is, without exaggera-
ton staunch, safe and excellent boat for all bust
ness purposes. She is in the St. Louis trade, and
we trust that she will run at least four years before
she becomes full moon, and that, without mis-
fortune accident, she may live to good old age
and in due time be succeeded by new and muct
more brilliant Crescent under the command of tn,
same worthy skillful officers.

The Crops-'rhe great drought we are now

of short duration. 1t is thought by some of our
planters that it will end in many paris of our up

to the crop Is in the shriveed bolls, which have
dried up on the stock. A little rain few weeks
ago, would have made a great change for the plan
