failure OF the crops have been greatly exaggerated

done any injury; and if the crop escape but

Crops an the South.-A writer in the Charleston
Standard who has just returned from tour through
the States of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Ten
nessee, says
"The wheat crop, which is generally harvested, and
in fine weather, is admirable. In the valley of Ten
nessee river and in northern Mississippi, it was
magnificent. The crop OF corn which may be con-
sidered as much beyond the reach of ordinary
tingencies, is also fine finer, perhaps, than in any
other year OF whose history we have any record
The cotton crop is not yet out of the woods, but it
promises to exceed an average very greatly.
The Fredericksburg News says" The oat crop in
this county looks unusually we'll. There is every
probability that there will be larger yield this year
than IN the past five years altogether"

more land cultivated of corn than was last year,
while the cotton planted is considerably less"
Extract from letter from Houston county, Geor

promising. Much more corn has been planted this
year than have ever known before. When corn be-
