says:
"The weather is very fine and crops in this
parish arc looking very promising. Much,
however, will depend upon the full, as tho crop
Is much later than usual"
The Bastrop North I.ouisanian, of the 10th
ult,, says:
"sinco the issue of our last the weather
has been unusually and very uniformly warm.
We had some very heavy showers Of rain in
the carly part Of tho week. From what wc
can learn the drought had been so long prior
to tho late rains that the corn crop will scarce
y come up to an average; cotton has also suf-
Tered severely, and no matter what may bc tho
character OF tho weather from this out, tho
yield must be comparatively small. Tho
health Of our parish is good, in fact, never
better"
Tho Opclousas Wing of the 2ad ult., says
We still have rain every day. The late
rains wo have had have left n Shiny deposit OH
the prairies, which w are afraid will prove
injurious to health. Tho showers that arc
now falling may remove il aud wash il into
the streams, whore Il eau do us no hurt"

says;
"Sincc our last notice Of the crops the plan
tiers In this section Of the country have been
bountfnlly blcst 10y n gracious Providence.
Copious rains have fallen upon our wiltcd
fields. The corn crops now promises a yield
quito sufficient for the wants of the country.
The cotton plant ia rapidly growing, and by
tho LIST OF August will have attained n size TO
justify a fair, IL not abundant yield. The fear
