The Columbus (Miss.l Sentinel gives an exceed.
ingly discouragng account of the crops in its
vicinity. 1t says:
Although farmers and planters are generally
thought to be querulous on the subject Of the
weather, we incline to the opinion that they have
right to talk despondingy at this time. The ex,
cessive long and continued rains in this portion OF
the State have wrought incalculable damage. The
cotton crop is behind hand, and will, in many in
stances, be almost if not entirely, a failure
Lowndes county formerly produced ten thousand
bales This year it cannot produce five. A halt
a crop is as much as the most sanguine can hope
for.
The corn is in a worse condition than the cotton.
1t has been totally drowned out, It's very short
and yet has tassled and silked. 1t is too late to
piow it up and repant, and it is too short to pro
duee much of a crop. The negroes are generally
represented as being in a respondent spirit, and
in many instances they have thrown up their con
tracts For this they are not blamed in many
cases by their employers In fact, some planters
have told them that they were at perfect liberty
to go where they pleased as there was no reason.
able calculation that their labor would meet Q
proper reward. Our readers may rest assured
that the complaints of the planters hereabouts are
we'll founded, 1t is not merely the cry of wolf
in this instance. The animal is abroad and we
will do well if we can keep it from our very doors

ConoREr pREA oHeIs u Neto Case.4We learn
from Che Yazoo Banner, thar at the recent term Of
tie probate court of that county, application was
made by freedman for testimonial, authorizing
lim to solemnize the rights of matrimony in this
State
1he code provides that any minister Of the COS
pei, ordained according to the rules of society,
nay solemnize the rights Of natrinony between
my free white person Within this State,
VINO shall produce alfcense provided that he shall
nave produced to the probate court of some county
y the State credentials OF his ordination, and Of
ms being in regular communion with the christian
society Of which he is d member, and shall have
abtzned from such court testimonial, authorizing
lin to soleranize the rites Of matriInony in this
State.
The freedman produced, in support Of his apph-
eB1on, the certificate Of bis ruling elder, showing
that the conference with which he is connected
had licensed him as q loyal preacher 1t appeared
"a testimony that this certificate was evidence that
ne freedman was iicentiate only and that
person licensed as local preacher must serve in
that capacity four years before he can be or
dained.
The court held that this certificate could not be
resolved as credentials Of ordination in the case Of
white minister Of the gospel, and that no dis.
ezsmination could or ought to be made in favor OF
aa eoloFed person. The application vas therefore
refused ~ ViekAbnrg Herald.
