TENNESSEE.
In most parts Of Middle Tennessee, the long con.
tnued drought has almost entirely ruined the
prospect Of the :orn planters, says the Nashville
Uniom. In some few portions Of on: section Of the
State an average yield viii be made, but these ex-
te,tions are rare.
The Chattanooga Advertiser states that the corn
crops in that section have been very much improved

friends from different sections Of the country, and
from them he gathers that this crop will not be
much Of failure after all. We have news also from
South Georgia and Alabama, which speaks very en-
c0urSgiDgy Of the prospects. 1t il very seldom that
Tennessee fails in her corn crop, and although it has
suffered much we are not without hope thu. the
corn will average crop.
ARKANSAS.
The Arkansas papers state that the corn crop in
that State ia excellent, and that the farmers expect
more than an average yield.
NORTH oARoLrNA.
Letters from North Carolina state that there Is no
mistake about good crops In that State, aud the
season has been very favorable to corn. North Ca

SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Cheraw Gdsette says, we have had in this
State abundance Of rain and some to spare, though
the promises Of the crops generally, were never
better promising than at the present time.
GEORGIA.
The recent rains have caused cotton to shed its
forms in those parts Of the country which had been
exposed to long drought Early corn will make lit
failure. We infer from all that We can gather
that both the corn and cotton crop Of Georgia will
be short. Even Cherokee, the granery i0f Georgia,
will have but little more than enough corn to sup
ply the wants of her own people.
A letter from Hahira, Lowndes county, Ga, under
date OF the 4th inst says:-"We have the best corn
crops ever saw in this part Of the country. You
may say to your up-country friends, come to
Lowndes, there is plenty Of corn. Our cotton crops
are, some Of them, very good, some middling, and
some poor. Health OF our country very good.
The Thomasville Waterman says:-we continue
to have copious showers Of rain in this immediate
section, though there are portions Of the county
which have suffered. The corn crop is now made,
and we hear Of men offering to engage corn at
fifty cents per bushel at the crib but OF no sales.
We hear some complaint among our farmers of the
boil worm, rust, &C., in the cotton. The weed Is
also shedding rapidly on some plantations As yet,
we have heard no complaints Of the caterpillar.
LOUISIANA.
Tie Natchetoches and Aendon, Louisiana, papers
speak Of the cotton crop as highly promising.
MINNESOTA.
The st. Paul Pioneer says :-Strangers now on
visit to our Territory express great surprise as the

the older States, who are anxious to escape fevers
and agues, and at the same time secure fertile
farms.
Amid the prevalent complaints of short crops in
different paris Of this vast country, in consequence
then, from particular States or DISTRICTS statements
Of different tenor. For instance, letter from
clergyman in Central Texas speaking OF that STATE
says:-The crop Of the current year will greatly

been and will be realized Provisions during the
approaching fall and winter viii be abundant and
cheap.
A correspondent OF the Cincinnati Commercial,
speaking Of the corn crop, says:-The advices of
the corn crop throughout the West and South, are
coming in more favorable in the western portions
Of Ohio. Including the Miami and Scioto bottoms,
and all the northwestern part Of the State, the
corn promises well and will yield full average crop.
In the northern portion of Indiana and Illinois, the
crop Is also good, and the same remarks will apply
to Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, and the northern
part Of Missouri. From the Southern States, the
advices are very encouraging; so that taking the
whole West together there ia NO cause for alarm,
nor + there much safety in speculations based upon
q failure OF the corn crop. We hear Of no place,
however. where the potato crop is good or mid
ding. The above IL formation we have from expert
enced men, who have it from personal observation.

In the north eastern portion Of Ohio and western
Pennsylvania, there Is no doub: that the drought
has proved disastrous to corn and potatoes and in
these sections there will doubtless be scsrcity.
The Richmond (ya.) Penny Post speaks Of the
immense amount Of wheat now in the various rail-
road dePots Of that city. One OF them is literally
groanng under the weight CT its contents, and the
writer for the Post thinks he "saw enough to feed
the Russian and allied troops for twelvemcnth."
There are eight large mills in operation in that city,
and two Of them grind at least 900 barrels each per
day. It is mostly shipped, however, for the South
Anne rican markets, WI ere it Is fayorite ali
