tressing account Of the effects Of the drought upon
the crops. In the counties of pittsylvania and
Halifax, in Virginia, and Caswell, Person, and
Rockingham, North Carolina, he states that it has
been destructive to a degree almost without pre-
cedent. The corn on the highlands has been liter
ally burnt up, and cannot be revived or recruited
in any degree by rains. The lowiand presents a
better prospect and in some localities will make a
tolerable yield In addition to the injury inflicted
by drought, the chinch bug has committed its rava
ges in large portion of the district named
Tobacco stands better, and with rains low, will
come ost pretty. tbs q hardy plant apd defes

impression among those SO holding that they will
