RAINS, &c-An abundant season has fallen,
enough to give growing wheat-Which from all
| accounts is of fattering prospect-all that it
needs in the way Of moisture, and should it not
get cold again, the yield in this neighborhood at
least will be very good. Farming is going on
tolerably only under the cir cumstances the freed
men in some cases leaving their employers. Nor
is the end yet. The summers heat will give the
proof whether under the change Of masters, that
is from individual direction and force, under the
old system, to that Of the fostering care of the
Bureau, backed up by the government, they will
stick to their work The immense preparation
and calculation for large cotton crop we fear
will hardly be realized more than in the carrying
out. of the former. Time will work the problem.
In the meantime We advise farmers to give atten-
ton to- in our opinion, the main crop-corn

know that behind their smiling faces, as they
stand in the door, there is something good in

over and are convinced, that over the way there
are good things. Our big hearted, ample proper
toned friend, DR.. Gcuin never deceived US yet

not so fully developed, yet he can make develop
aic2ts OF a satisfactory character. Bless the man
who invented good things, for without the sweets
how bitter the bitter things.
