RIississIppi Intelligence,

The Jackson News of the 18th, says the heaviest
rain of the season fell in this city yesterday.
Doubtless much damage to farmers, as well asraiI-
roads, will be the result.
AN ATTRACTIVE PLACE-The Wayneboro News
thus writes
The good people of Wanyeboro are now enjoy
ing the only Injuries left them by the war, viz
Fleas, old clothes, poverty, and dirty streets.
The Brandon Republican is opposed to an extra
session of the legislature.
The WEATHER.-We think it can be safely stated
that the rain has stopped, and that the weather
has cleared up. Since the first of April (about the
4th) there has been no settled fair weather. anu
for most of the time, for than five weeks, the
rain has been incessant with severe storms of wind
and frequently with hail. Such spell OF weather
has not been known at this season of the year, IN
this country, "in the memory OF the oldesI
inhabitants. n-[ Vicksburg Herald
Charles Shackleford, ESQ, delivered an address
in Canton on the 18th, Gin memory of the dead"
of Madison county.
The CRoPs.-We took special pains on Monday
last toobtain from the planters from dihereht paris
of the country, information in reference 10 ehe
crops From all points the intelligence was 20 81 an
uniavorabe character. The unprecedented wei
weather for the last two months has proved very
detrimental to all planting interests. me wheat
is being attacked with rust and smut. corn grows
tOlerably well, but grass grows raster, ana the
freedman cannot " hoe out his row. with sufficient
CELEBRITY 10 beep it in check. The crap is,
therefore, as cousin Sally billiard said, "smarty in
the rrassD and short rations of corn for man and
beast will be the result. As to cotton, wet weather
and uugound seed has fixed the fate of that crop
beyond the hope of redemption. In compare
lively few instances have good stands been OBJ
tanned. One gentleman remarked to us on Mon
day that he had been planting in Madison county
for than twenty years, and he had never
known the prospects for crops generally, so
gloomy as at present The sources of our informa-

ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE PROTESTANT EPIs-
COPAL CHuRcH-Ths body met in this city on the
9th inst No church having been built since the
destruction Of St. Andrews Church by the United
States army in 1868, the body met in the City Hall.
The Rt. Rev. VIM. NJ Greene, Bishop of the Do
Cese, presided The Rev. VIM. G. Crane, who has
been the efficient secretary and treasurer of the
convention for several years, having resigned his
office, and declined re election, the Rev. Edward
Fontaine was elected unanimously as his success
sor. Col. John Duncan, the present treasurer of
the diocese, was continued in Office by an unani-
nous vote.
After a very harmonious session, the convention
adjourned on Friday, the 18th inst. Vicksburg is
the place appointed for holding the annual conyen-
ton in 1867
The most important business transacted was the
adoption Of the following resolutions, which re-
stores the Protestant Episcopal Church in Missis-
sippi to its former union with the General C0nYen-
ton Of the same church in the United States:
Resotced Iuasmuch as the causes which led to a
withdrawal of the diocese of Mississippi from the
ecclesiastical union in legislative capacity, from
the Protestant Episcopal church in the United
States Of America, no longer exist; therefore, the
action of this body at the annual convention in
1852, adopting the constitution of the Protestant
Episcopal church in the Confederate States of
America be, and shereby declared to be revoked;
and our former relations with the Protestant Eps-
copaI church in the United States of America are
hereby standardization News.
The cent rains have been operating very Sc
rlously against the progress and interests Of the
planters: Ear several weeks they have been ena-
bled to do little Or nothing in the way of work on
their farms and we understand the young cotton
in some localities Is fast dying out We also hear
some complaints that the wheat crop is not doing
return of fair weather and clear sky and we trust
our planters will have favorable season in
the prosecution of their farming interests.
