The Crops.

The Richmond Tines Of Saturday says that it
"has pleased God to bless the Southern States
with the most abundant and wonderful crop Of
corn ever known, and we are, therefore, saved
from all the danger of famine and suffering for
want Of food. No contingecy of drought, hail
or storm can now injure that great Southern
crop for man or beast" t.agHt iftG
The same good news comes to us from all
parts of the country, Everywhere the promise
for heavy yield of corn is most cheering, while
the weather continues favorable for its full de-
velopment and ripening. So far as our own OBJ
servation has extended through Baltimore coun-
ty, the crop will be much above the average. =
Thus with the close of the war come the sub
stantial blessings of peace. And it is another
mark of that Divine Providence which brought
the nation safely through the war, that now He is
browning our fields with rich harvests and dri-
wing famine and want from our doors.
