The Governor Of Michigan, in view of the i'm

discourasing.
From the South, the brief letter from our Vir-

Of the elects Of the drought in the section

beautiful, but one Of the N ,st fertile and pro-

however, IS limited to the northeastern end Of
this valley. A gentleman from the souihw vest

of tho crops in that quarter, including the
great AppcDjnc Buncombc district of North
Carolina, and that mountainous section Of East
Tennessee watered by the romantic French

This account will probably Justify some little
abatement in the depressing report of the Hon
James c. Jones. who writes us from the western
limits OF the State. beyond the rainy circle of
he mountains. Upon the whole, however. the
honorable Senator, we apprehend, has given us
reliable opinion Of the effects of the drought
in Tennessee. Her usually large shipments of
corn to New Orleans will doubtless, this season,
be very materially diminished in consequence
notwithstanding the extraordinary temptations
Of that great Mississippi market.
The letters Of that venerable and respected
Senator, Judge Evans, and of Dr.. Davis of
South Carolina, making all due allowances for
storms and foundations. still give us summing
uprathcr encouraging than otherwise. DIR. Davis
is the gentleman who, some years ago, on an
invitation Of the Sultan, went out to Turkey
