p In, the South this year there has been, no
cotton, sugar, rice or tobacco crops. In
consequence of the abstraction of labor
from Southern fields for military purposes
there was sown In the Fall of 1864 not one
tenth of the usual breadth of wheat and this
crop, in consequence OF unpropitious sea-
sons, was an almost absolute failure. Not
more than tenth OF the usual breadth of
corn land was planted last Spring in States
south OF the Potomac, the negroes being
during the planting season on the grand
universal picnic and excursion in which
they induIged on the acquisition Of their
freedom, and what was lttt Of the white
men not returning, to their homes until the
season was nearly passed. The Summer
was favorable to the growth of corn, and
what was planted made an abundant yield.
Oats, owing to the unsnitability OF eli
mate, are not a Southern crop. Uyd ~.
I 1t is impossible to form any reasonable
estimate OF the number of bushels of grain
produced in the South this year; but the
Quantity is probably sufficient were it
equally Distributed throughout the differ
ent States and counties thereof forthesub-
I'sistenee of thepeople until the next har-
vest, But 1t, Is not distributed through the
some sections, as IN East Tennessee and
Southwestern Virginia, there is a super
abundance, while in others, viz: many
counties ia Eastern Virginia, Georgia, Al
ALBANIA and Lonisianas there Is none at all.
\ In view Of the probable 4insufficiency Of
the supply of breadstuffs at the South, it is
gratifyingto knewthat In the greater .por-;
ton Of our common Country, the great
North and the great West, there Is super
abundanGenof all the fruits of the earth.
When the potato crop Of1reland Tanshort
in lS48 the generous and benevolent in
habitants Of the North forthwith sent yes
sci loads ofcorn and wheat to that afflicted
iland.J If our stock should fail bthisIW inter
or next Spring we shall doubtless only
'haYe to mHption the fact to be latonce in7
undated with flOuhi nbuckwheat, bacon,
onions, Goshen ibuttery 'codfishJ &c. y The
Knowledge that our more prosperous fel !
of the North are ready to
relieve our wants should they befall; but, of
course, we shall not draw upon this certain
fund of food unless In case of dire ex-
tremity. .IITp0H MI

shows that though the rye and wheat crops
of the North and West are q little short
this-year r,-the- deficiency is-more than
made up, by the redundancy Of other
