The Autaugayille Ana Mercury, of the 10th
instant, says:
1.-THE weather is dry and warm in this neigh
borhood, and the crops are prosperlng.
The Linden (NIarengo Co., Ala,) Jefersonian,
of the 18th instant, says:
sFor the last two or three weeks we have
had frequent showers of rain, which, with the
warm weather, have caused corn, cotton and
grass to grow very RAPIDLY. Crops look quite
promising, and though cotton is unusually small
for the season, owing to the late Spring; yet, if
no untoward luck should befall it hereafter,
there will be an average crop raised"
MARION tMiss.) June eve have had a sue
cesson of fine rains and the crops in this vicinity
are now growing finely. Farmers are complain
ing of wet weather and its never failing accom-
paniment--grass. The entire crop--corn and
eotton--is very backward though the late rains
will bring it out materially, unless the grass
prevents it.
FLAx CuLTuRE.--The Louisville Journal says,
a much larger amount of land has been given
to the cultivation Of flax this Spring than in
any former year. &c In Ohio there are thirteen
extensive oil mills; in Kentucky, Indiana and
Missouri, there are five more; in all eighteen
mills, that we know of, which manufacture
nearly 1000, 900 bushels of fax seed annually,
and are capable of working double that guam
tity." ~m. --Mm
The Savannah ga Courier, of the 9TH inst,
says:
''The continued rains of the present month
have, in some parts of the State, impaired the
prospects of the crops. The grounds have been
too wet for proper culture so that both cotton
and corn are in the grass The plant has
| grown very rapidly, and should a drouth follow,
will be likely to drop its forms and fruit, Besides,

"We have conversed with the Hon. Howell
| Cobb of Houston, as well as with some of the
most intelligent gentlemen from Troupe, Craw-
| ford, Monroe, Newton, Burke, Wilkinson, Han
| cock and Jones, all of whom concur in the opin-
ion that the growing crop of corn is the most
| promising evek eed in Georgia. There is
not only much II p1oeonted, but the grounds
are in fine order sesslore pie"owth exceedingly
healthy. Of the CO, and theKttle can vet be

The Albany (Ga.) CourIer of the 10th inst.
says:
"We have had abundance of rain for two
weeks, and our planters are now rather anxious
| for dry weather, to drive the lice from the cotton
and to enable them to kill out the grass Cot
ton is looking well in most sections The corn
crop never looked better. At present we have
promise of abundant harvest g.
The Albany (Ga) Patriot of the 9th insg
says:
1.-The weather since our last writing has been
very warm, with frequent showers Of rain Cur
planters arc complaining bitterly of the grass
in their crops, caused by the late rains. Every
one is hard at work, and we trust none will suf.
fer materially. The health of the county con
tinues good
The Savannah (Ga.) Republican of the 18th
inst says
Notwithstanding the recent heavy and long
continued rains in this vicinity, we are informed
it has been quite dry in Macon and the centra
portion of the State, and that the crops in thai
region would be all the better with rain. The
cotton and corn, however, are doing we'll; ant
with good seasons, as the farmers say, it is be
lieved they will yet recover from the disastrou!
effects of the cold weather in April and the lat
ter part of May. The eopious rains which fel
on the seaboard the early part of last week die
not extend more than a hundred miles up thu
Central road"
The ST. Augustine (Fa) Ancient City of thu
10th inst, says:
"We have from all quarters the most favora
BILE accounts of the growing crops. The rain
have been abundant and seasonable, and TIL
quantity of provisions which will be laid b,
