"A correspondent of the Savannah
Netcs and Herald of June 18th says: /
have passed through portions Of Thomas
county, Georgia, and Jefferson and Leon
counties in Florida. The crops were
never more promising, especially corn.
| saw a large field of corn in full silk and
tassel, and some Of the earliest was in
roasting ears. If the seasons hold ont a
few weeks longer, these counties will
make great deal more than will be re-
quired to supply the wants Of the people.
Cotton is rather small, though in good
condition. The freedmen are working
tolerable well. The health of this sec
tiOn was never better,
The Sandersville Central Georgia
saws: Wheat has seldom If ever been
better. The cotton and corn crops, though
small, owing doubtless to the cold and
wet spring, are nevertheless quite prom
ising.
The Brunswick Courier says: We
have authentic information that the
cotton, corn and rice of Glynn are quite
promising; while the gardens in and
around cur budding city, under the
auspices of fruetifying rains and genial
weather, are in an unusually fiOurishing
condition.
The Valdosta South Georgian Times
says: We are glad to report up to this
time cheering prospect for q crop.
Early planted corn is silking, and should
the season continue a few weeks longer
favorable, there will be good if not an
abundant crop made. The cotton is
now coming out rapidly, and the farmers
in the main are in high hopes of coed
crop. A cotton bloom was handed into
our Office from the plantation of Messrs.
Smith & Perramore, near this place, on
Wednesday last, the 5th inst. We un-
derstand that there were blooms on the
Saturday previous, the lst of June.
g "A DOoly county correspondent Of the
Macon Telegraph says: There is COM
small crop of corn planted
ia this county, but it is looking fine at
present. There is a crop Of oats, and
they neuer we're better; I think there is
also a full crop of cotton planted. 1t is
small for the season, but 1t Is growing
finely. Our freemen are working toler-
ably well, and white people have gone
to work in good earnest.
