TIE Crops.

The Chambers (Als) Tribune of the 23d ult.
says: "The late heavy rains have given a fine APP
pearance to the growing crops in this region. We
don't know when we have seen a better prospect for
corn. This crop, we think, will be larger in Cham
bers 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:
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 Chepw g. CO. Gazette Of the 2sth says:
We have now had four weeks OF dry weather, which
is parching up our gardens. The surrounding coun-
try has been more fortunate but the crops generally
are needing rain. The wheat and cat crops have
generally been harvested In the finest condition,
with mos. 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, as with fair sea-
sons henceforward their labors will be most abund-
antly rewarded.
cotton bloom by John Ellis, Esq, of this district.
The bloom was plucked on Friday evening, and
must have been open on Thursday, the ed. We
understand Mr.. Ellis's crop generally looks fine,
and perhaps 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-warm, 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-
tions We hope this state OF things will last to the
end. and that abundant harvests will repay the
arduous toll Of the sgriculturists. 1t is upon the
tier of the soil, at last that must all fall back

The London (Tenn.) Free Press says that, after
all the anticipated evils that seemed to threaten the
nH thn fsn,t IN thn napIy
part of summer, harvest has come, and with 1t q
good crop Of wheat-better where stock was per.
mitted to run on it than it was last year. Oats
look well, though they appear low but thin. We
hear Of no cause from which to torn 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
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 a recent
number of the Milwaukee (Wis.) Sentinel. Gan 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 unfayorable weather. the
crops Of wheat barley OATS rye, corn aud potatoes
who have not had the like advantage of passing
through the country The crops now, without ex-
ception, look well, and the only complaints which
we heard, In ten days tour was an occasional one
with reference to the spring wheat-that it was 80
heavy, that it would probably lodge in the field.
Wisconsin will send forward 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, IL the present warm weather continues.
