Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1863-04-09

We hsd 8 call Yesterday from a very intelli-
gent pantleman REV. n. n. SsnsingG, living in
the ~neighborhood Of Ariesis, who informs us
that the wheat crop of Middle Mississippi is in
q very promising condition. A much greater
amount than usual is in the ground, and the
/ early rust has entirely disappeared There is
nothing. except soma calamity not to be antej-
( pated, that can now prevent the crops rom
being not only very plentiful, but also Of the
best duaily. The recent cold spell was Of de-
eided advantage to it.
It is foo early to predict in relation 20 the corn
crop. We have, however, the assurance mat
an uunsuallv large quantity Of it has been
planted. snd as yet nothing has occurred TO mar
the prospect Of universally good harvests.
To the cultivation Of these grains aud oats,
nearly all the land is devoted OF cotton
hardly more has been put in the ground than
will Supply the seed for next years planting.
Tire country, Mr. S informs MS, is full offoOd

The spirit Of the planters Of Mississippi in re-
iation TO the war. IS Of the most patriotic charse-
Ter. They are willing to adopt any suggestion
that win BE Of benefit to the cause. Impress
ment laWs are net necessary, and instead OF ae-
eomplishing the purpose for which they are
made, are only an obstael8 to it, All that is
necessary is that the wants Of our army and
communities should be made koown. Patriot
ism will do the rest. The imoressmsnt-as the
law, or no law, foris is s~nforcsd-only hurts the
feelings of those who have food to spare and
produces indlfsrenee, instead Of alscrity, in the
