The Weather and Ae Clops.-Du-
ring the past two months we have
had in this section that cold wealth.
er which is SO injurious to both Of
our great staples, especially cotton.
with only occasional CLEANS of the
summer sunshine which the time
of year naturally led US to look for.
The weather for the pal st ten or fif-
teen days has been particularly IN
favorable to the operation of plan
tiers and to the business of seed
time generally. Even while we
write it is as cold as d November
day, the wind comes straight and
strong from the Northwest, and it is
growing colder.
We are Informed by gentlemen
who have Just visited many of the
plantations in this and tn E neighbor-
ing counties, that in allthe cotton
fields they examined'haraly sprout
above ground was to be seen; and
the corn that had come up had that
yellow, sickly look which tells OF too
intimate acquaintance with Jack
Erost.-Nemphis Eaq1e.
