THE COTTON CROPS, &c.

CorToN FROM EuFAULA.-We learn that Messrs.
E. O. Wade and Co., Of this city, have had con-
signed to them four bales of new cotton from En-
faula Ala, the first shipped from that point to
this market We also learn that there is a proba-
bility that other shipments of Cotton to Savannah
will be made from that section during the season,
and trust now that the railroad connection is so
nearly unbroken that the cotton buyers and sellers
of that part of Alabama and Georgia will at least
give our market a fair trial. -.,.
The four bales above alluded to were the first
ceived at Eufaula this season. Other receipts since
swell the number up to twenty bales private
letter before us states that they probable receipts
that point will be 80 600 bales.-acannah Nescs 3d.
Col. David Random, says the News Galveston, is
cutivating article which he calls silk cotton. It
is represented as much superior in texture to the
island cotton the island is to the ordinary
growth. The Neaos says bale of this cotton sold
in the Galveston market last year for 500, and
Col. Random expects to get seventeen cents per
pound for his crop this year.
The cultivation of this species of cotton will be
largely extended in Texas the next season, judging
from the demand for the seed of the present crop Of
MIR. Random
A LATE FALL PREDIcrED.-A gentleman, who is
something of an amateur naturalist, and has for
years taken great delight in studying the habits of
insects, Birds beasts, &C., inform the Register of
that place. that he has noticed for several years past
that the martins invariably leave the Sth 9Th,
and 10th of August. This year they remained until
the 10Th of August He predicts from this, that
We will have late fall +; and that farmers need not
be afraid that the frost will not hurt their corn

WEATHER AND CRoPs-Some months since we
were suffering from want of rain. Now it is the
| reverse, and we have rather too much-cotton is
beginning to shed, and if it keeps there will be
but an Indifferent crop. In addition, we understand
the caterpillar has visited some of planters and
is doing considerable damage -Newnansoille (F7a)
Dispatch.
CRoPs.-The crops, says the Canton (diss.) Citi
zen, of the 9th ult, of that county unusually
Aatterng. If the rust or boil worm, of which there
is some fear, do not commit ravages the crops will
| be very large.
| The Oxford (Miss) Mercury, of the 9th ult.,
says the evidences Of large crop still abundant
The Columbus (Mss.) Democrat Of the Goth,
/ says:
So far as we have been able to learn, the cotton
! crop this year will be very large one The boil
worm has not been so destructive as was anticipa-
ted, and our planters generally in fine spirits
