The Crops.

We continue to hear from various quar-
ters of the District, hattcring accounts of
the crops. The wheat wc understand, has
turned out far better than was anticipated n
month or six weeks ago, and the general
impression seems to be tha, almost, if not
quite an average crop hns been made. Com
is very promising, and if the bountiful and
regular seasons which We have been blessed
with lately are continued for II short while
longer, the corn crop must be Il large one
and buyers, it is to be hoped, will fare much
better next year than they have this. Cot.
ton is said TO be rather backwa and cool
weather and prehaRS other causes have com.
blned 10 give il ia some localities an IN.
healthy appearance. With moderately
favorable season from this out, however,
there IL no good season to apprehend any
other result than that fair crop of this ar
ticle will be made
In little trip from This place TO the
neighborhoods Of Baseomville and Rich
Till, in Chester, We had an opportunity If
observing the crops on both sides of the
river. Between this aud GOoch's Ferry are
some skiIIfully titled fields and well ordered
plantations The crops look well aud the
fields generally are free of grass. In the
fe~ exceptions noted, the owners were ma
king vigorous exeriions 10 get them clean -
The crops in Chester, though perhaps NOT
better shan those on this side Of the river
had the appearance Of being considerably
more forward. We saw no corn silks on
this side OF the ca;awba, but numbers of
them 10 Chester.
