Crops in Arkansas-

S"S Popcto, dS nANe puoisleu aIthicS CoHCeTn- ing the crops in their sections of country, a number of items, from which it will be seen that the oat crop is failure, but that there is a hope that other crops may yield well.
 The Camden Eagle, gves this encouraging account:
 1.-The weather is unsettled at present. but the weather-wse express their belief of it's be- ing able to settle in d few days The river is going sowl down, but boats will be able tn reach thlS place for some time to come. The most encouraging accounts reach Us from ali parts of the country in relation to crops. The wheat m some portions of this county is said to have been injured by the rust. An abundant yield of corn and cotton, from present indications, Is anticipated. Health of the whole country very good notwithstanding the immense num- Der of fish taken and eaten''
 The Searcy Eagle thus gloomily notices the crops in White county:
 The weather still continues remarkably wet, and we hear much complaint among the farmers. It will be impossible, if this weather continues, that the wheat crop can be saved.- The oat crop we learn Is a complete failurer; the crop is completely destroyed by the rust or mliew. The cotton crop must necessarily be short, as there is very poor stand and the lit- tie that there is, is almost ruined with grass and weeds. The corn crop looks well, but drought which every boiy is expecting would greatly damageit. Upon the whole the farmers prospects at this time are not at all hlttering."
 The Batesvile Balance reports:
 |" The early wheat of this section is now be- ing harvested, and notwithstanding the protact- ed wet weather, is turning out A fair yield, we learn though we only have reports from this immediate vicinity. The rust is iriurng the late wheat very much, and fears are entertain- ed that It Will prove almost failure. This complaint we hear from all portions G the country Rye is said to be very good, generally, though not much has been planted Oats have been abundantly planted, bat those which are now maturing are beng seriously injured with rust and smust."
 The Arkansaw Travelar thus notices:
 The First Cotton Bloom.
 On the l4 inst, WILEY N ROGERS hand ed us, at our office, full grown cotton bloom; thlS Is somewhat earlier than we had expected blooms this season, the crops generally, are rather late Tn this counly-owing chiefly, to the great quantity of rain that has fallen during the spring, which has certainly been very injurious to the growth and culture of crops on bottom lands. We hope our planters during the re- malnder Of the season nay have d better time for the cultivation of their crDps-and at gathering time be blessed with an abundant Yleid-)ust sucb as the lands of Clark are capaue o1 Nleltlng Wneu the season suits - ne yleli ot corn and cotton Will b. large if the season should coutluuo favorable. The wheat crop Is already gathered, and we under stand Is au average crop. The cat crop is d total failure; aod while spetki' of things, th9 memory whereof of nsra runeM mt t0 tie con- tay who ever lving or dead, heard of the entire oat crop being d'stroyel by rust; we have heari oi rus, oa whea- a1 Rust ou Greedy but never hta'd of Iu>t on oats fore"
 The Pine Bluff Democrat has the folio wing:
 " ln the country arou"d, the farmers and planters are buslly engage. n cul.ivatiHr their c'ops which we learn are iu very promising con dIIoD."
 The Des Are Citizen says:
 "THE WEATHER--CRops, Erc-We con- tnue 10 have an ahundauce of rain thtonlhout this section oi conauy. Iatrnth, he pr,s beet, of the farming Interest has nat been 50 gloomy for several years The oet crop has been almost ehhrc.y iestroyed-inaHy flrn-r> think the.r crops of oats not worth harvesting. Wheat, ! psi few days has tend d tp a,d In seriously iu- iunns them. Co.ton planters compl iii, not only on account of the wet weather, bus in nearly every field Ice have attacked th, voun, plant literally covering it. The overflow, alon, the N ssisspp an it's tributaries, and the destructop created by the Wet weather in the interior gives every evidence that the cotton crop wifi be nearer a failure than, perhaps, was ever ! known"
 The following gloomy prospect for crops is taken from the Napoleon Planter:
 We stated in our last issue that the river hal risen, and up to the present issue it h |, continued rising, slowly. Reports from above give uS no hopes Of an early fall not, at least uii the middle of next month. The Arkansas ani W hlte rivers rise little anl fall little but do no pnrticular damage to what vet remans of the levees. Lands that are teuable, are il, fine state Of cult.rc. The cotton crop ls :. failure, of course, but corn Is being rlis d where It was impossible to plant cotton. We learn tha on Thursday mornlug the levers broke be. low Co CLARK's farm, abput cmo miles above thla place on the Msa~sppl si le. which threat chS the obstruction of d vas. anuunt of pro- perty, saving notnjng of the entire destruction of the crops, which were almost really to av hy. Attempts were being Tn lde to arrest the "hov of waiers." but up tn our last information without the least posSI hle hope oi succ <S.-- The point at which the crey4Sso ha, been nlic, will be the cause Of the overflow of d vast ox- ! tent of country. We re ,rrt very much tn hear l of such disaster tn the farming community of Bolivar county, as hopes hal been entertained th,5 they were secure from the high water. The break may not prove as destructive a, it IS at present. anticipated that it will be, bn5 we are certain that 1t will be felt by every planter for many miles around.
