E TIE CRoFs.-Many of our farmers have com menced to cut their wheat, and from the best information we gather, the yield will be equal ;o if not larger than last year. We heard few say their wheat has been damaged by rust, but the instances of this kind are few. The bar'e5 crop is represented to be good. Fears are X, pressed by scge th"t tfo aet crop is iniarA ce.. siderably by rust, but many tell us that an aver age crop will be harvested. The corn crop promises fair yield, but it's growth has been retarded by the late frosts. We have every req son to believe that the, grain cror of the norts- ern portion of Texas will be equal to that of last year.-Shegman Ierasl yJoayHal.

Col. R. H. JuHEsoY.-
 Dear Sir: have recently heard that the notes of the :" Washington Exchange Company are refused by the people of your city. This is unfortunate at times like these, hen reliable mediums of small change are so difficult to b. obtained Persons going from this part of the State towards Little Rock, are at loss abou1 getting change whi h passes there. As this com pany issues the most reliable medium in this part of the State. The plan of operations is follows: A deposit of either of Arkansas war bonds or treasury warrants, Confederate notes or Louisiana bank notes, is made by party, in exchange for which we issue the notes of the company. This deposit is then held sacred for the redemption of the company's notes, and iu order the more fully to assure the public of the good faith of the company, bond has been given and filed in the clerks office, which secures the deposits, and as the sureties on this bond represent property to the amount of at leasi one million of dollars, tat a low estimate) tbere can be little or no doubt as to the solvency or reliability of the paper and inasmuch as tbt notes gre issued oriy aekeR deposits are made and aecer othersciSe, it is clear they are good as any money now in circulation. As the is suing of the notes is a matter of but very small profit. if any to the company, ] write you mOrt for public benefit than from any benefit result ing to us. In this part of the State there is no other institution of the kind; and, resting upol individual responsibilities, persons are en- couraped to receive our notes from the knowi responsibility of the company's members, and 1t is hard case for them to take them in good faith and to find them refused at the next town. The members of the company are E. Mirick. W. M Andrews. Jno. D. Trimble, David Block. ". D. Green, A. E. Williams, 5. F. Fall, and H. Gordes and ". H. Etter.and Nj. Y.

 Under the above caption the New York Times speaks as follows:
 The Confederate leaders count largely upon the aid they age presently to receive from the climate in repeling the union armies. The occupation of New Orleans cannot they believe, continue longer than June, because of the summer heat, malaria, and fevers to which Northern troo will be ex- posed and last fall they argued that if they could only hold ont until winter Europe. would come to theip assistance. so they now persuade themselves that summer will bring to their redemption that tremendous destroy yer--yellow fever. Ii is not to be doubted that, with the coming summer, sickness will very seriously affect the use fulueSs of our unacclmated soldiery in the South On the Atlantic, as on the Gulf shores, bilious diseases will make sad havoc among rank and file: and if the yellow fever appears, and it Is ike ely to, such places as New Orleans and Mobile will be wholly untennble It will be for the secretary of war to meet-this difficulty.
 The only means sefin at ths moment to be the enr0Jimrnt and arnng of tbe ae9roeS in the various cities we nav hold on the coast, furnishing them with white officers of skill and accustomed to the climate, who shall drill and discipline them, and ex- ert over them proper military control. We know no reason why the preservation 0f order may not be safely entrusted to this class of persons. They nave been employed in the ranks by the Confeder- ates themselves; they make good and tractable soldiers; the English have no better troops Tn the West Indies; and we safely reckon not only on their fidelity, but on their immunity from climate diseases.
 The sabiect, lorpy io rec, IS enqagnq fhe at- tent0n 0f fhe 3opernmeHt. A communication in an- other co umu, from cur Port Royal correspondent, ,hows that the temper of the blacks has been test cd by the direction of the war department, and they have shown an unsuspectod alacrity i volunteering to bear arms and do their deyoir in field or garri son. Of this chyarons mood--for chyalrv in South Carolina is not, it seems, thing of color the government cannot too promptly avail itself All the time between this and the dog days will be needed to organize and discipline these Hanitc police brigades,
