WEATHER AND CROPS. The Van Buren, (Ark. J
Intelligencer gives favorable accounts of the
crops in the Indian country and on the Arkansas
frontier.
The Shreveport Southwestern states that
in that parish they have had heavy showers Of
rain, which will prove very beneficial to the
young cotton. @..5
The Natchitoches Chronicle says that the
planters in that section are busily engaged in
picking cotton, and that, from all appearances,
the crop will be an average one Corn enough
for home consumption has not been grown.
From the Caddo Gazette we learn that the
weather has been pleasant; rain has fallen in
abundance and the crops are doing we'll.
The San Antonio lTexas) Sentinel says that
the crops generally in that vicinity look -four
ishing. The farmers are confident now of max
ing average crops.
The Feliciana Democrat says that they have
showers almost daily and that the planters are
busy picking cotton.
From the Point Coupee Echo Of the 18th, we
clip the following:
Visiting, a short time since, both the upper
and lower portions OF our parish, we had an OPP
portunity Of seeing the condition of the crops.
On the Atchafalaya they are looking finely and
rarely have we seen such crops of cotton. Suf-
fcient rains had fallen to greatly benefit both
the corn and cotton, and the yield of the former
has been larger than anticipated.
On the Crosse Tete, we are sorry to say, the
rot has made its appearance on some of the
places, but not to any considerable extent. Quite
a number Of the planters have commenced pick
ing their cotton. and some Of them, in gathering
their corn find that they have made more than
they have room for. Those who, on account of
the drouth, were compelled to pillow up their first
crop and replant. have succeeded remarkably
well. The second crop is looking extremely well
and promises yield superior to that planted
several months previous.

SURVEY OF THE BAY AND HARBoR OF ST. MARKS,
Fave learn from the Tallahassee Floridian
and journal, that the Government of the United
States has determined to cause regular sur
yey Of the Bay and Harbor Of St. Marks, and Of
the st. Marks river at least as high as the rail-
road terminus, which is situated about a mile
above the junction Of the Wakulla and the St.
Marks rivers. sz4- 5..>
Lieut. F. Fl. Gerdes made g survey of the
same place in April. 1852, which was published
in the report of the United States Coast Survey
for that year, pages 95, SO and 81.
The people Of that section complain that the
facts were misrepresented by Lieut.. Gsrdes;
that he reported only eleven feet water over the
bar when there is full thirteen, and that ten
and half feet may be carried up to the termi-
nus instead of six and o half, as he had it.
As this matter is of considerable Importance
to the people of Middle Florida, and also to New
Orleans, on account of there being quite q large
trade between st. Marks and this port, We
hope that this survey may be made as soon as
possible & 5.. @a
