marred by a drought and in many parts of the
State the corn crop was seriously injured, so
| that there will be no superabundance, and
scarcely more than was produced last year from
much less land planted in that greatest of ce-
reals. The production of rice, too, this year,
has been curtalled to considerable extent by
the removal of planters from the tide-water re-
gion.
Still, the season for rice has been good, and
those who have planted have generally made
good crops. II saved, the rice crop Will very

Richmond fStquirer'S recommendation to raise
an Irish brigade for this talented Irish patriot.
II says;
"We should like to see Mr.. Mitchell located
at a good point, editing newspaper. His
talents in this line are unrivalled, and he could
be of especial service to us at this time; hut we
are opposed to raising brigade for him. He
wields pen more gracefully and powerfully
than almost anybody we know. This is his es-
