account of the crops:
"Our last accounts from the interior embrace no
of particular interest. Cotton picking is going
on with great animation and success. The season
has proved remarkably favorable for picking and the

nearly nine hundred pounds of seed cotton are
re1orted, good authority, to have been taken out
in day by single hands. The crop is short, it is
true, but nearly all Of it will be saved in the very
best condition. The yield of the State promises to
exceed that of last year, from the increased quantity
of land in cultivation, though the average product
per acre will probably be less. One of intelIi-
