We are most happy TO learn, says the
Rome (Ga.) Courier, that the unpre-
cedented large crop Of wheat sown in
this section Of country, looks remarkably
well. AS q general thing the crop was
well planted, and the hard freezes and
deep SHOWS we have had are considered
altogether favorable to it, prosperity and
productiveness. So far as present APP.
p~earances 60, the prospect is that We will
have me Of the largest yields in this
important crop that this section has ever
been blessed with.
The Planters Banner says AS badly
broken up as this portion Of Louisiana
DOW is, deranged labor, a third of a crop,
and little or no sugar, it pays over two
hundred thousand dollars a year 10
steamers engaged exclusively in this
trade by its patronage it nearly keeps
up eighty miles Of railroad, and uses up
in building and improvements the lum-
Der produced by about tweHty sawmills.
Who says this will not be a lively eJun-
try when our lands are all put under eul-
tivation, and our people are politically
anfettered and put on their feet once
more ?
