The Chambers (Ala.) Tribune Of the 23d ut.
says: "The late heavy rains have given fine ap-
pearsnce to the growing crops in this region. We
don't know when we have seen better prospect for
corn. This crop, We think, will be larger in Cham
beers than 1t has been for a number Of years. We
come to this conclusion not only from hearsay but
observation
The Hayneville Watchman of the same date says:
The crops In this county, we are pleased to learn,
look very promising. The corn CROP it is thought,
will be the largest ever raised in the county, and
the prospect indicates fair average crop of cotton
The Cherpw Is. CO. Gazette of the 18th says
We have now had four weeks OF dry weather, which
is pnrching up our gardens. The surrounding coun-
try has been more fortunate but the crops generally
are needing rain. The wheat and oat crops have
generally been harvested in the finest condition,
with q most abundant yield of superior grain. The
cotton and corn is generally looking well, though
the latter has not yet recovered from the effects Of
the backward spring. Upon the whole, our plant
ers have no room for complaint, with fair sea-
sons henceforward their labors will be most abund
antly rewarded.
On Saturday last we were presented with red
cotton bloom by John Ellis, Esq, of this district
The bloom was plucked on Friday evening, and
must have been open on Thursday, the 22d. We
understand Mr.. Ellis's crop generally looks fne,
and pfrhaps is as forward as any in the district,
but tits fully ten days behind the usual average Of
seasons.
We learn from the Pedee Times Of the 2Sth ult
that the weather has been very fine of late for the
crops-waIm, with o plentiful supply of genial
showers The crops OF the district, in consequence,
are in fine condition, both rice and upland Indeed,
we have never known corn to grow SO fast, and
with such sturdy stalk, before In all our observa-
TONS We hope this state Of things will last to the
end. and that abundant harvesss will repay the
arduous toll Of the sgricultursts. II Is upon the
tiller of the SOIL at last that we must all fall back
toget the necessaries Of life.
The London (Tenn) Free Press says that, after
all the anticipated evils that seemed 70 threaten the
farmer on account Of the severe frost in the early
part Of summer, harvest has come, and with 1t a
good crop Of wheat-better where stock was per.
mitted to run on 1t than it was last year. Oats
look well, though they appear low but thin. We
hear Of no cause from which 10 form an opinion,
other than there will be ct least an average CROP
Fruit, In many places, is almost an entire failure.
In Spotsylvania, (va.) the Fredericksburg News
learns that the wheat crop will be about one third
the usual YIELD Corn will be very fair-better than
usual, except where the bud worm has done mis-
chief On some farms, from this cause, the crop
will be reduced fifty barrels at least. The oat crop,
however will be better than it has been for ten years
past
The following agreeable item we find in recent
number Of the Milwaukee (Wis.) Sentinei. "An ex.
tended tour through eight or ten counties of this
State has served to satisfy that IL there should be
no drawback In the way Of unfavorable weather. the
crops OF wheat barley oats, rye, corn aud potatoes
will exceed the most sangnine expectations Of hose
who have not had the like advantage Of passing
tbLouSn Tie country. Ine crops now, Witnout OK
ception, look WELL and the only complaints which
we heard, In ten days tour, was occasional one
with reference to the spring wheat-that It was 80
heavy, that II would probably lodge in the field
Wisconsin will send forward q vast surplus as the re-
suit Of the harvest Of 1854. Judging from the APP
pearance Of the winter wheat in many portions OF
the State we think that the harvest must commence
next week, and be well advanced BY the 10Th OF
July, II the present warm weather continues.
