Claims for consequential damages will be en-

such Us were actually sustained by American
citizens in consequence of the Panama riots.
No difficulty is apprehended as to agreeing
upon basis for the settlement OF the questions
now pending; and in no event will the Admin.
istration permit Costa Rica, or any other Central
American State, to diminish the boundaries Of
Nicaragua nor divide or absorb her territory.
Costa Rica has already been notified on this
point.
:. WE have recently travelled from South Wes-
tern Georgia to the mountains in the North W es-
tern part of the State, and to the Seaboard. The
recent rains have secured an abundant corn crop
to every section. The: cotton crop, though late,
comparatively small, and lacking fruit, is grow
ing rapidly, and on many fields blooms are
plenty. The fear, now, is, that the continued
wet weather and rapid growth, will cause the
shedding, or prevent the ripening of the fruit.
Wherever We have been, we found the country
healthy, except perhaps at Marietta, where we
learned that an epidemic bowel complaint pre-
vailed, which has besa fatal to children.-Albany

CROPS Is TExAs-Thc State Gazette mentions
fine rains about Austin, which have given the
farmers good reason to hope for large crops. The
Assessor and Collector Of Williamson county,
report eighteen thousand six hundred acres OF
wheat. This, at ten bushels to the acre, would
give one hundred and eighty-six thousand bushels.
Williamson is one OF the twenty-five counties
that ore now raising wheat. Corn and cotton
crops in other counties are fair, and from present
prospects on abundant harvest will be realized

CRops IN ARxANsAs.-From daily accounts
received from every section of the State, and
from its own observations, the Little Rock True
Democrat is satisfied that with the exception of
few localities, abundant crops will be made in
Arkansas this year.
TEyyEssEE.-The Memphis Appeal, Augusta,
says:
The rains which, judging from our exchanges,
must have been general in North Mississippi,
West Tennessee, and North Alabama, have placed
corn and cotton. Tie first mentioned crop seems
to be put beyond all doubt, while the latter wsars

justified in holding the opinion that the planter
will be well remunerated forhis labor. The grain
crops being more than full, the cotton crop will
be surplus production, and its proceeds will,

that dispenscs these benefits.
The RA1N.-CRopS &c.-NcYer, "sincc time
whereof the memory Of man runncth not TO The
contrary" has there been better prospect for
an abundant Corn crop than at present The
recent rains, however, have induced the fears Of
sonle OF our citizens for the Corn on bottom
lands, but We find majority OF our planters
think that this crop has suffered none thus far
from too much rain, not even the low ground.
The opinionis quite prevalent among us now
that Corn will not bring this fall more than fifty,
and some think as low as forty cents per bushel.
We trust this may be the result, and from the
present fattering prospects, VIC think it quite
probable With the already garnered Wheat
and Oat crops, and good yield of Corn and
Cotton, we think that invidous old scapc.golt-

Corros.--The United States Economist, Of
last week. says that there is pow a prospect of
advanced prices for cotton. 1t bases this cxrec.
tation upon not much more than an Ordiuary
supply, while the large harvests of Europe must
create an increased demand. 1t says:
"This demand is to be reached only when the
general demand for cotton so far exceeds the
United States crop as to compel large supplies
from other quarters. This state Of affairs seems
now about to he attained. The United States
crop is limited Ivy the supply of labor, and the
wants of Europe are more than equal to the
whole of that labor in the most favorable years
-even in years of dear food. a season of
cheap food and cheap money is now about to cx-
tend its influence upon the consumption OF goods,
in such q manner that the most saugune of the
great manufacturers have despaired of lower
rates for cotton. They are to seek their COM
rensation in an advance Of prices of fabrics. 1t
is not unreasonable to suppose, that as this con-
viction spreads, speculative demand for goods
will set in, notwithstanding that the realized silk
crops of France and Italy are much better than
