PROSPECT OF THE CROPS. From all parts our
exchanges bring us news of long continued and
copious falls of rain. The effect Of this state Of
things can be but in the highest degree disas
trous to the growing cotton crops, causing the
plant to grow too large, the forms to fall off,
and by too much shade producing rot in the
matured bolls. There is also another injurious
effect incident to the wet weather, in the diff
Guilty ofdrying the crude cotton when gathered.
and in the consequent rot which must take
place in much Of it when housed. There is NJ
doubt that the unfayorable state of the weather
will have another unfavorable effect on the in
coming crop, from the fact that the beating
rains, by mingling quantities of dirt and decayed
leaves with the staple will deteriorate lis quail
ity and value. The above enumerated causes
and effects combined, will doubtless influence
the quantity and quality of the yearly receipts,
and nothing but a very late frost can justify the
expectation of large yield.
The grain crops have turned out well, and
tnsre Can be no fear Of deficiency in the staff

The PosT-oFFICE.-We have received n note
from the Superintendent of this institution, in
which he excuses the Postmaster here from the
imputation of any fault on account of the delay
in the arrival Of the paper mails We lave no
complaint to make of the non-arriyal of the
Eastern mail, as its failure three or four times
a week is looked upon as a matter of course
Nor have we blamed the office here for the IT,
Irregularities of the Eastern mail knowing that
it has no control in that quarter. Learning
however, that Mr.. Postmaster Kendall had re-
scinded the contract of Mr.. Campbell for carry
ing the river mail, and had taken the response
bility of bestowing that service on the steam
boats, we had expected that the arrivals would
have been little more regular, as well as more
prompt.
The Superintendent also excuses the non.
arrival of the Western mail, on the ground Of
the great scarcity of boats in consequence of the
epidemic. We believe that we have coast packets
between this place and Vicksburg at least twice
a week, and this fact ought to enable us to get
our exchanges from the intermediate points in
variably in three or four days. We do not,
however; but this may arise from the fact that
our Postmaster is not all along there to put the
papers in the mail bags himself. Yesterday
morning we received papers only four days from
Natchez. This is getting along tolerably fast,
considering that Natchez is nearly three hun
dred miles off, and that the steamboats, can't
make the run much under twenty four hours
The Superintendent says that " the non
arrival of the mails cannot be attributed to any
neglect in this Office; and we are glad to hear
it. Can't he hitch on to some measure for stir
ring up those whose duty it is to carry them =

Uniformity in School Books,

We call the attention Of Teachers and
Township Boards 10 the recommendation Of
the County Examiners in to-day's paper, OF
the "Ecleclic Educational Series" of school
books This deservedy popular Series is
now partially in use in, perhaps, all the
schools ofthe county. McGuAey's Readers
and Rays hmetcs-which have with
stood the test of the severest criticism or
many years, and which, in point of adaplion
TO schools generally, have no Superiors, and
few equals-are now the standard textbooks
in their respective departments, throughout
not only this. but all the counties ol the
State. 1t only remains now, that McGuf
fey's Spelling Book and Pinneo's Grammars
be adopted, TO secure q uniform series o
books, identical in plan and development,
which as series has no equal in this Sec
lion of the country. 1t will be seen by the
notice that the most liberal deductions will
be made in the introduction of The aforesaid
Grammars and Spelling Book.

ohio Onlce.seekers at washington

large number Of office.seekers from
this State have been hanging around the
Departments at Washington, since the 4th
Of March, soliciting clerkships. They had
been informed that The several petty off.
ces at Washington were TO be distributed
among tho several States in proportion TO
the Democratic votes, and as Ohio bv this
rule would be entitled 10 about seventy
clerks. they had reported themselves there
in sufficient numbers to readily furnish
that quota without any delay. But weeks
and months passed away, and the appoint
men,s did not come. Ohio was grossly
neglected. A number Of leading spirits,
with Judge Piau, Of Cincinnati, at their
head, constituted themselves into a com.
miuee of inquiry as TO The cause Of this
neglect. By applying 10 the different de-
partments, they asceflained that, instead oil
the seventy TO which Ohio was entitled,
only thirteen had been appointed, and two
of them were Wings. The prospects fol
the remainder are thus described by the
correspondent Of The Cleveland Plandeal.

Ohio had been thus overlooked. The Sec
retary of the Treasury thought ,ha, Secre
,ary McCIelland was doing we'll by Ohio
So thought the Postmaster General, anc
between them all Ohio has got compare
lively nothing. Secretary Guthrie and ,ht
Postmaster General promised in future Il
remember Ohio, but | must confess III,
chances are very poor. good share o
the places are filled, and the pressure from
Virginia. Maryland, and the District o
Columbia, which monopoize the office.
here is very great; besides understand
that there are more places promised thar
they really have at command. l may
however, be mistaken; it may be possible
that the Secretaries will have the courage
to break in upon Virginia, Maryland, ant
the District, which seem TO regard the off
ces as their own, by right Of con,iguii,
and inheritance. If Secretary Mcclellan
carries out his purpose of appointment
these three powers will receive a terrib
blow.
"Under Secretary Stuart, they becam
so strong in the Department of the Int
rior as really to set up a sort Of owner

Mrs. Bloomer imagines that the rea-
son that women differ from men is be-
cause they are scholed and educated
differently. Nothing however could
be more unfounded. Girls differ from
boys not incidentally, but radically.
The first thing that boy does after he
is weaned is to straddle the banisters
and ride down stairs. The first thing
a girl sets her heart on is a doll and a
set of miniature cups and saucers.
The girls are given to neatness and
hate soled garments Of all kinds; boys,
on the contrary set a high value on
dirt, and are never so happy as when
sailing a ship, with a brown paper sail,

reason as she may, but she will find in
the end that nature is stronger than
