The crops in both sections of the country are
represented as being good, though much better in
the North than in the South In the latter portion
the army and cut worms have done, and are still
doing, considerable damage to corn, but not sufi-
cent to give the least foundation to the belief that
the crop will be short, because great deal more
land has been planted this year than in any former
season. The wheat in the extreme South is now
| about all harvested, aud consequently out of
harms way; but in Virginia, Kentucky and Ten
nessee it is yet susceptible Of rust and il liable to
! damage by weevil; but we have thus far heard Of
no serious complaints growing out of either cause.
Grass in the North is uncommonly healthy, and
has passed all danger Of being harmed Butlittle,
comparatively, of this commodity is raised in the
South. The cotton, sugar and rice crops
we hear but little about, and can, there
fore, give no idea concerning their pros
poets: but the reasonable inference is that they
will all be short, except, perhaps, the yield of
tobacco in Kentucky, owing to the peculiar po-
| stion in which the States raising these articles
have been placed From general review we are
led to the opinion that the crop of the entire
country will be greater this year than ever
before; that wheat, rye, barley and oats will be
fully up to the average and that the production OF
| hay will be unusually large.
