CoTToN IN EAST FELIoIANA.-We are grieyed
to md, from the Clinton Patriot of the 18th.
that the heavy and unceasing rains Of the pre-
ceding ten days had done immense damaae to
cotton in East Feliciana Says the Patriot.
From all quarters we hear of cotton rottpg in
the Doll, aud the worm stdeveloping and in some
instances having gone to work-maEinp a clean
sweep OF the field. Late cotton is looked upon as
"gone up" From all we can learn the crfn
prospects have decreased within the last ten days
iuiy one-lourth; still, we think with reasonable
WeatLer, a pretty good report will be given of
hast fetIcIana N the cotton market yet.
