The late storm has brought a second spring up
on all The low country. The spring flowers and
shruos are all budding and blooming aGresh, aud
the peach and pear trees, are in almost fnlI bloom
This is supposed TO arise from the shaking racking
and stripping of the vegetable kingdom by The late
storm. II has long been known by gardeners ETC..
thar very close pruning late in summer, would
cause shrubs and trees to flower anew, and now
upon the same principle, the Storm bv stripping
and tearing them, has produces very general
blooming. We sincerely hope, that the fros, will
not allow The second crop fruit to ripen.

The Crops.

The New York Herald, with CONNIE Dda bio
zeal, has succeeded in obtaining, from reliable
sources, statements Of the condition Of the crops in
difleren, States of The Union. The result has been
| that The prospect of plentiful year is far more
! favorable than has been generally supposed
| Indeed, We have long since ceased to place much
coDfdcncr in the reports which circulated al
most every year Of failure in the crops. The
interest of the producer is calculated to induce
him 10 msrepresent the facts in order tina. the
! price of his Produce may be thereby proportion
atry increased. Aad even if there be an honest
intention 10 represent the truth fairly, there is a
tendency the part OF every agricuturist 10 de-.
Preciae his crops whenever he has been partially
disappointed.
But although such may be the case, and the
crops throughout the country may be far more
plentiful than they a. first represented 10 be-
we have reason 10 predict continued high price in
bread stuffs. The unprecedented drought has
certainly materially affected The crop, and brought
1t lar below an average one i; and the continuance
OF The European war will prevent plentiful a
contribution usual on the part of the large grain
growing country in the Odessa, and other fertile
sections Of Eastern Europe
The Herald announces that the wheat crop, in
Upper Canada, has been unprecedented, and that
the supplies for expectation 10 the United States
will be unusually large From many sources too
we lrarn that the grain crop in England has been
immense. Large tracts of country have yielded
an average o! thirty bushels TO the acre, and in
some cases The enormous yield OF sixty bushels
has been reaIizod.-TT Sen.

Henceforth, the Wings of the South will look only
To The principles OF such Norr hern men as are
brought before The public, in the States named
