From Tennessee the accounts are OF conflicting

districts wheat viii be very small crop, and in some

Ofthe Spring wbe at now being harvested that which
was sown in the middle of January is very fine, and
indeed the late sown, but this is still liable to be
stricken with rust.
The corn and cotton crops of Mississippi promise to
be very good and about Holly Springs and in some Of
the ntghborDg districts, wheat is better than the
arpers had anticipated though the yield will nowhere

of her cotton and corn, both Of which spoken off

Copous showers have fallen in some of those por-

severe, ana great change for the better had been
made in tie crops. person writing from brunswick

The Texas papers publish accounts FROM Wood,
Williamson, Caldwell Starr, and Newton counties,
and from Indianola, Matsgorda Jasper, and Panoia,
from which we infer that cotton and corn will be more
than ordinarily good But, on the other hand, me

Drouth in Kansas and Nebraska had at last accounts
gea:ly injured the wheat prospects, but possibly
the showers which worked go much good in Missouri,
have reached those territories also, and made an I'M
proyement since the date of adyices. Vegetation
is well forw ard throughout Minnesota in some places

rye and corn are all described remarkably hne and

local papers speak of unusual breadth OF wheat hay

One of our Iowa correspondents who has known
,haG State for many years writes US that the prospects
for corn and wheat equal to those OF the
present season; certainly not in central Iowa NJ
Polk City corn is selling at 20 cents; wheat 81 ooi
butter 10 cents per b.; potatoes 20 cents straw
berries 10 cents per quart and eggs cents per Dozen
At those prices no need starve. Another FOX
County correspondent who on his return from the
Chicago Convention, examined the crops along the
route Gays that wheat, oas and corn promise better
than they have for dozen years past and he thinks
that with the present moderate prices OF farm produce

and lumber at 81 90 to ten shilngs per hundred, Iowa
offers great Inducements to Western emigrants.
The Indiana wheat crop is in many parts seriously
damaged In Lapore County, il is asserted, that not
more than one-sixth of the crop will yield hitesn
bushels to the acre. onequarer may give ten bushels
and the larger portion of the balance will not be worth

tons of Berrien County the injury is not 30 great pat
on high lands the yield will undoubtedly be small

speak more encoursgiDgly Of the prospects IN Their
several sections of country.
Ohio is more favored az general thing than her
negbbor, although she has not escaped injury ~

wheat belt of the Stae the crop will be hne one,
and in Central and Southern Ohio the harvest Is about
commencing. Grass in Loran is remarkably line, ana
