The WEAruBR--CRors.--We are pleased to learn
that the farmers and planters of this and the adof-
ing counties in Virginia and North Carolina have
been favored with abundant and very general rains
Many who had no doubt begun to despair of wing
suitable weather for planting tobacco avalng
themselves of this to put in all that then force
can possibly cultivate The oat and wheat crops
must necessarily be short ones, owing to the severe
winter late spring and long drought. We have very
little doubt that there will be larger planting of to-
bacco this season, than for several previous years ow
ing to the efforts of the farmers to make their loss
es from the shortness oftheir other crops We regret
to learn that the rain in this immediate vicinity has
damaged some farms by washing.-DanUWe Register.
As highly promising rs were the prospects a short
time ago for abundant crop in this county the pre-
sent season, regret to learn that the Iavages of
the fly, and in some instances the joint worm have
been great upon the growing wheat as to preclude
all hope gilmore than half an average yield while the
has been most seriously damaged by the
ana other causes we nave neard OF some helds nav
ing been entirely furrowed out and replanted The
recent rains however, may possibly have the effect of
yet bringing il forth.-Loudomn Mirror
