THE CROPS.

TENNEssEE.-The Memphis Bulletin, OF
the 18th ult., says:
The weather continues almost as warm
as in the midsummer, with scarcely a trace
of decay upon vegetation. The only draw
back upon the entire suitableness of the
st ason to produce good yield of the cot
ton crop, has been the occasional showers
which have fallen within the past week.
ALABAMA.-The Mobile Tribune, of the
Goth inst, says:
I'VE understand that the want of rain is
very much felt by planters along the Ala
bama river. In some places it is said that
the cotton is being injuriously effected by
the continued dry weather. The alarm in
consequence ofthe appearance of the worm
is dying away, and very little is heard of
the rot which was said to have been pro-
duced by the wet weather"
MIssIssIPPI.-Extract of letter to the
Mobile Register, September 18th, says:
I'm regard to crops, the corn was never
better, and large quantity of fodder has
been saved. The cotton crop will turn out
better than was anticipated in this section.
Picking has generally commenced, and is
pushed with uncommon energy-the ruling
price for the staple causing an extra expen-
diture of elbow grease"
