lHE CROPS IN FLonIDA.-By gentle
men who have recently visited the va
rlous counties Of the interior Of East
Florida, the Jacksonville News has
received the most llattering accounts
OF the appearance Of the crops. The
corn, cane, and cotton crops all look
well, and arc now beyond the reach
Of injury from drought. The emigra-
ton to the country next fall and winter
will be very great, but from all accounts,
there will be plenty provisions to meet
all demands arising from this source.
