Weather and Crops,

i We have been favored, says the Charleston
Standard, by a call from an Intelligent gentle.
man, who has lately had occasion to pass alonp
| through the district of country trayersed by
the old ship road from Charleston to Savannah
With planting prospects in the rice and Sea
island region he has had occasion to become
familiar, and his information, therefore, is en-
titled to the utmost confidence.
He states that in consequence of the fall in
the price of Sea Island cotton, and tbe higb
price Of corn, an unusually large quantity q
that staple has been planted; and that under
the influence of abundant rains in Nav and
June, it promised unusually we'll, but since the
dry and extremely hot weather set in, it has
commenced firing, and the yield will necessarily
be much diminished
Sea Island cotton also promised well until
lately, but that, too, has suffered from the
drouth and heat.
| inland swamps some crops have been drowned
out, but generally it so far has been uninjured,
and without some casualty not now anticipated,
1t will give an abundant yield.
We find the following in the Batesville Com
mereial Standard:
The weather is muck more pleasant now than
it has been for some time Yesterday we had
q very line rain in this portion of the county,
though not so much as the farmers would like
to have seen. The crops, generally, look well,
and IT we mistake not, this will be o fine crop
year. @5.
KENTUCKY, ETo.-The Louisville Journal of
the 9Th says:
From present indications, it seems that we
are to have an abundant harvest this season
Throughout this county and the State generally,
so far as we can learn, the prospect indicates
an unusual yield A few days since we made
trip through Jefferson and several Of the upper
counties, and we found all the growing crops in
the most promising condition The wheat has
mostly been harvested in the best possible order,
and the yield will generally prove better than
the average. Corn never looked better in this
county. The favorable rains. together with the
recent hot weather, have pushed it forward
with a strength and luxuriance highly encou
raging to the husbandman.
Grass and oats, too, have made most luxu-
RANT growth; indeed, these crops have pushed
forward with such an unusual vigor that many
acres will be greatly injured in consequence Of
lodging" before maturity.
The potato crop, which is one of the great
staples of the Ohio valley, now promises almost
beyond any former parallel The cool, damp
weather, during the early part of the season,
proved unusually favorable to the potato crop.
Owing to the increased number of acres that
have been put under cultivation, and the scar
city and high price of labor, it will require all
the mighty energies of the farmer, aided by the
new and improved agricultural machinery of
the various kinds, to secure the abundant
harvest.
