THE CROPS

The crops in this State, 80 far as we have been
able to learn have never been better than they
this season.
We make the following extracts as to the crops
in o.her States:
Texas. The weather could not possibly be more
favorable for crops than it has been here for the
past two or three weeks. We have heard OF no worm
in the cotton and indeed there has not been any ex-
Of rain, that usually generates this insect Dur
planters have many of them commenced picking.

ALABAMA. The Eufaula Spirit Of the South says:
"The late moderate and seasonable rains have been
particularly favorable the cotton crop, and their Of
fects plainly seen in the abundance Of forms and
bolis, with which the plant is loaded. Within the
last ten days. however. the boil worm has made ito
appearance and should the laec cool weather continuey
will do material injury. The'crop too, is about two
weeks more backward than last year. and the yield
must therefore greatly depend upon the character
of the fall. An early frost would certainly shorten
it very much Should the season continue favorable,
and the fall prove late one the crop will undonbt-
ediy be large, but any ofthe innumerable casual
ties 10 which it is subject, might yet disappon all
the expectations entertained in relation to It, The
crops of corn, peas and potatoes generally good.
The WEATHER, CRops, &c. The weather still
continues very wet. Scarcely d day passes over
without several showers of rain, and some Of them
very copious ones. The rains, however. We believe,
are quite partial, We hear Of much cry wether In
the adjoining districts and all of our rivers are low.
The rice crop Of this district is regarded as fair
average one by most persons though many think it
more than average. The. harvest, we understand,
will begin plantations in about ten or fifteen
days. The N. and N. E winds OF last week brought
with it the rice-birds, and we presume the next +.
wind we have will bring full supply of these
little harvesters. Geo1getoun Is. C.) Obseruer.
The Savannah News is indebted to friend for the
following interesting extract from private letter in
reference to the crops, dated ST. Lukes Parish, (S
C.) August l6.
'.My crop of Cotton and provisions are almost as
good as could wish; and those Of my neghbors are
tolerabIy fair you could be brought here without
your knowledge and put down in nv field you would
think that you in the Western country, where
crops grow without manure or neessant labor. MY
Corn is good for 20 bushels per acre. which is excel
lent for this low country; Potatoes, never better.
Cotton large and well fruited. and without some ac-
cident promises large yield. am sorry to inform
On neighborng island, and it remains to be seen
whether they will pay my Cotton field visit-if
they do all will be lost"
The Montgomery (A'a.) Register learns that in
several parts OF that county, and Macon county, the
army worm is {" now mailing sad ravages upon the
cotton crops" The planters, it says. are greatly
alarmed.
Crops, &c. The Aberdeen (Miss.) Independent
of the 9TH inst, says that immense crop OF corn
will be raised in that section, and If the balance OF
the cotton season proves to be as favorable az the
preceding part, an abundant crop will be raised.
! Prospects of plenty were never so promising.
| The Clayton (Aa.) Banner says that in some pla-
ces not great distance above that town, the boil
worm has made considerable havoc with the cotton
crop, but Immediately in that neghborhood they had
done damage yet.
| The Carroll La. Watchman, Of the 9Th inst.
savs The prospect of the planters of bur parish for
having bountu crops both Of cotton and corn. were
never better this of the year, than they are
at present. The Bayou places were nearly exempt
from overflow this year, and the unsurpassed lands CT
