Wheat aud Corn Crors.

We present the following from the NashFllie
EInntr Of Saturday, as an indication of the
prevailing excitement at the South regarding
the supply Of food, without stopping to e1 I'LL
ioe the figures and conclusions W our contcm-
porary. There will be much suffering ut the
South, un4uestiopably, consequent upon the
f.ilure of the crops; !. but the Western States
are, fortunately, in position to furnish 1ull
supplies Of the neccssaries Of life There Hill
he no famine, and there should not not be FAM
inc prices:
ltis settled fact the corn and wheat crops OF
tile South are failures, md that the cotton
States will hare to be purchasers OF corn trnm
the more fortunate Northern and Neatfrn d.
visions CT the Union. Oar peopfe are interest
postEnce ttun the political divaions OF the North
uad South, and al ii to rebuke the minds and re-
s:1ic: the spirits which have dared to whisper
"secesaion from the North, - au al r1gbty Power
has made the ssouthert division Of the country
~ dependent upon tae North for food as the
Nor.h has been on the South for cotton. Two
such failures as the South experiences this
year IN succession would rain her. lluppy far
tho South. the cotton nerer entirely fails, and
in an augmented crop Of Ut is estimated) 451o.-
Gao bal-x she will liad tue means TO purchase
her food. For ouce " King Cotton" must abdi,
cate his commercial throne, content TO make one

Tint which would hnye been deemed lmp0s-
sible few years since has now actually oc-
curztd, and Georgia, Mississippi and other
State8 are importing their food from Illinois
aud Ind ana. During last seRson Miss nri sup
piled this demand, but she will be unable this
year, for her crops hare in great measure
failed, while the demand, then Light, IS now al
mpst incalculable. This completeness Of The

!Ndi!. of L lutte da:e, SAYS 1--WE nre ta'lstieo,
from reliable sou, ces. that the crop Of E astern
Alabama Ind Western Georgia will fal far short
Of the needs Of home consumers, and if there
should not be heavy crop in South Alabama,
b.cked By low prices in the West, there cannot
but be immense suffering for the stall Of life. ;"
Aud this demand from tue $,pu'h is made stimuli.
