CROPS On THE MISSISSIPPI THE
OVERFLOW.

From the Memphis Commercial
We have made careful inquiry of planters
who own plantations on the Mississippi
river, with regard to the damage done on
the river, below this point, by the food.
They generally concur in estimating the
overflow 10 have reached about one-third of
the lands. On the lower Mississippi. the
accounts are that the whole country is mum
dated from the crcvaSses.
\ tornado which has recently swept over
southern Louisiana, has committed terrible
ravages on the plantations.
Planters in our vicinity report that the
rainy season has set them very much be-
hind, 10y reason of the grass getting the start
of them. These casualties will certainly d.
minish the cotton crop considerably, and
we should not be surprised to witness Sc
riuus apprchcnsions Of much shorter crop
than has generally been anticipated.
We DO not believe that the reports alluded
TO at all exaggerate the situation, but on the
contrary that later accounts will show that
the estimates of actual loss from, the o,,r
flow are underStatcd. In some cases II NAV
be practicable TO replant the crop in time, if
the scarcity Of seed should not prevent the
replanting. We presume, however, the
seed NAV be obtained with some trouble
where this can be done. Some crops were
replanted last year after the first Of June:
but, il will be remembered that the fall was
extremely favorable 10 maturing and gath
eriug which can not be calculated ON with
any certainty during the present season.

WE publish in full on our first page the
proceedings Of the Woman's Rights Conven-
ton, held in New York last week. There
is but one class of readers to whom it will
not prove interesiing-crusty old bachelors,
who are never up with the progress Of the
age-and for them il is not intended. The
peculiar interest attaching TO the suffrage
question just at this time gives it additional
importance. II the more intelligent and
respectable class OF the male population are
to be disfranchised in Tennessee, then we
would be glad to have the ladies do the vot-
ing for u.s. and if the privilege is a national
right as asserted by the Radicals in Con-
gress when discussing it in connection with
the colored population, we cannot see how
they can defer much longer this next step
in the grand system Of modern progress.
