SATURDAY EVENING, April ls 1861.
The stirring events transpiring at Charleston, of
which the telegraph advised us to-day, completely
unsettled the market for Uuncurrent Money, and
Brokers exhibited an unwiIIingncss to buy South
Carolina, Georgia, Or Alabama currency. In the
present unsettled ctndition of the market we can
offer no quotations. Perhaps matters viii assume
better aspect by Monday.
In New York on the 10TH at the first board, S.
o00 Tennessee per cent Bonds sold at Tile and
$1,000 at zoe, and at the second board, $4,000 at
7lc and $4,000 at zoe. The telegraph reports no
sales yesterday.
The general MARKETS have been very dull during
the week, aud the movement in every thing has
been light, except perhaps, Grain, of which fair
amount has been sold by dealers. The uncertainty
which has hung over political affairs has greatly in
jured the trade here as elsewhere. We can hear Of
no speculative movements in any thing.

The jacksonville Register learns that the wheat
crop of Hopkins county never looked more promis-
ing than at the present time and if the season con-
tnues favorable, an abundant harvest will be the
result 1t is supposed by many to be cut of danger
of the late frosts. -e. -
MISSISSIPPI
The Kinds County Gazette Of the 9th ult says
ain our county, and perhaps throughout the State
the entire corn crop is planted and every where
unusual breadth has been given to it. Should the
season prove anything like favorable, full cribs of
corn will be gathered, and next autumn will find US
with plenty, without calling upon lovely friends
up the river. The preparation of the ground for
cotton now claims the attention of the planter for
which the weather continues favorable"
The Holly Springs Herald of the 9Th inst. says
"The farmers all say they have this year the finest
prospect for good wheat crop they have had since

The New Orleans True Della of the Sth SAYS: "The
most cheering accounts the growing crop reach
us from every part Of the State. The prospects of
abundant yield by the cotton, cane and corn |
fields were never more fattering than at the PRES
ent time. Cane in many parishes is already above
ground, presenting strong and healthy appearance
Corn is far advanced for the time of year, and |
promises an abundant yield Planters are entirely
satisfied with tie appearance of their cotton fields
and anticipate large crop of the great staple"
So that with fair season from until fall our
planting friends will realize unusually large har-
vest and more than usually early one"
The West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter of the 9th |
inst. says: During the past and present weeks we
have travelled much ever our parish and had an
excellent opportunity OF personally witnessing the
condition Of our cane and corn crops We say il
without wishing in the slightest to exaggerate, that
never have we witnessed more promising fields Of
corn and cane than IRE to be seen in our parish at
the present time. Cane Of all kinds is rapidly show
ing itself above the ground, whether plant RATION
or stubble; the young shoots are strong, vigorous
and with very healthy color. Corn promises an
abundant YIELD beirg far advanced for the season.
So far as cotton is concerned, however, we can say
but little We have but few planters Of that great
staple but the few TEEN satisfied with the appear
of their crops Garden vegetation of ali kinds
is fourishing abundantly, while our fruit trees
promise to richly repay the labors of the husband
nan. With fair weather from this time till fall we
hall reap rich crops of all kinds"

'ect of crops in our parish. No season has given
better evidences of abundant crops than the pres
mt. The cane, corn and cotton throughout the At
akapas parishes were never more promising. The

he plant ane is coming up almost too thick. The
'oung corn is beautiful to behold. Fruits Of all

The Greensburg Imperial says: "The weather

is entire crop over again. Others have not suffer-
so severely; though the effects of the frost are
isible, as far as learn, nearly all over the

blurred. The prospect for early melons is not so
ood."
