CRops III NEW E~Ne1.ANp. The
crops in New England are said to be
getting along finely, and stimulated
high prices, the farmers have planted
a great breadth Of ground. Winter
grains looks splendid; spring wheat
promises well; pastures are rich IN all
directions, and the llay crop, an inn

CRoPs III TExAs.-The Galveston
News has the most ~fattering accounts
from the planting regions offEastern
Northern and Middle Texas. The
prospects for splendid crops Of corn,
cotton and sugar cane were never
better, if las good-a as now. In all parts
of the State, indeed except some Of
the western counties, therahave been
fine rains, and even in the West, crops
are not suffering, but will be good if
they have rains 4 week oEtwo hence.
SALES Oh THE CoMlSo CRor. We
underktand that sales have been made
by farmers Of their growing wheat
for $3.50, early delivery. The large
majority are holding back for 50; in

On a recent trip to the countyAof

wheat looking SO well. From the
Blue Ridgeto the North Mountain.
in Augusta, we can say without the
fear Of successful contradiction, that
the wheat crop never looked better
One gentleman west of Stauntou said
to us HAT he never was blessed with
finer crop than the present one. From

noticed many excellcnt5felds OF wheat

bacco Plant says:
IL is generally conceded that in
Mecklenburg, Halifax, Charlotte,
Brunswick and Lunenburg, Virginia,
and in the counties of Granville and
Person, North Carolina, the wheat
crops are as fine as were ever seen in
this country.
TnE CsoPTs in KING GEoRGE.-A
gentleman III King George writes to
the fredericksburg Herald as follows:
aThere could have been no finer
weather for maturing the grain, which
promises to be excellent. There are
avery few average crops il ourcoun-
ty, and a great many below an aver
age-ands some of which can hardly
make the seed sown. It may be, that
the crop Of King George will, in the
aggregate, amount to half an average
crop Of wheat of excellent quality.
My opinion is formed both by obser.
walton and inquiry.
