THE CROPS I'M FLORIDA.

We make the following extract from letter
written by gentleman of Columbia County,
Fla. to friend in Ahbeville, dated July 4th,
in which he gives the following account of the
growing crops:
The crops are good. and all hands are feast

peas. My cotton is growing rapidly. and is
as full as ever saw any. and if it turns out az
we'll as it now promises 10 d. will put up our
lands to Sl5 or $50 in less than five years.
The long g.cotton fellows are beginning to admit
that maybe it will do; and if it does, will
help our country very much. What think you
of cotton the 4th of July as high as your head.
and numbers of grown bowls upon it. If I
had You at my Bronson field. could make
you stare a little. and wish that you were
away from old Abbeville."
