THE CROPS.

From all Q1recClOnS tle Reports commune 6nCOuTh-
ging with reference to the wheat crop. In the
South the prospect appeare very good for better
wheat crop than we have had for ten years. OF
course the breadth Of land in wheat is not 80 great
as before the war, yet tho yield WILL If no injury is
sustained by the crop before harvest, be very
large.
The season has thus far, however, been unusu-
ally cold anu backward for othor crops. Corn is
much retarded. In portions OF the western part
of the State, owing to the coldness and dampness
Of the ground, tho corn that was planted has
rotted, and the work of replanting has been neces
sary. The season for making corn is short there
and the crop that ia not forward is always in porl
from the early Tosts OF fall. The tarmers i'll that
region are therefore somewhat uneasy; but it is
long time in advance to be croaking. worry genial
summer may hurry up the growing crop 30 ~ to
make up the timo lost by tho backward Spring.
Richmond Dispatch, Of Monday.
THE Cnops,-We receive encouraging informa-
ton concerning the crops from nearly oil quarters
OF tho State. The corn is most promising; the
cotton is backward for the time Of year, but not
il more than long enough fully to mature cotton,
which shall be low planted. The weather is as
good ss can lie, and favorable to planting. It is
Still in good time for month to come, II the rains
continue, to plant sorghum. The season con-
tnues most favorable for setting out potatoe slips.

TIE CRops-Our Western exchanges are unani-
nous in saying that there never was better prom
ise OF crops than this season so far presents.
The accounts from the Southern States are al
most as encouraging. The harvesting OF wheat is
now progressing in the upper portions Of Georgia,
AIabama and in parts OF Tennessee. The corn,
| though backward, is healthy and vigorous, and
cotton is generally looking well.
This is truly gratifying intelligence, as we see
that in some If the Northern markets wheat is
quoted at So to So 10, and 1T is stated that grow
| ing crop in North Carolina has sold as high as
| So 60 per bushel. These prices obviously cannot
| long be maintained, aid with the advent OF the
new crop Of wheat we sincerely trust much of the
| terrible suffering in our famine stricken land
will be speedily allevlated,

LAuBENs COUNTY, Ga, May IA, 1867.
MEssss. EDITORS: Crops in this and Wilkinson
county are at present rather encouraging. The
cold wind and rain made cotton look ileess for a
few days, but the present warm weather has
greatly revived it. A pretty large crop has been
plauted and the stand is generally good. Small
grain is fair, but in limited quantity.
Laborers arc generally working well, but it re-
ouires close attention to keep them up to he

THE WEATHER-CRoPs IN SUMTER CoUNTy.-For
several days past we have been favored in this Sec
tion with light rains and cloudy, warm weather,
which have been OF great advantage to the grow.
ing crops. The gardens sensiby improved, and
the crops of cotton aud corn are very promising.
The oats and wheat crop will soon be ready for the
reaper, and the prospects ahead are reasonably
good. Laus Deo.-Georgfd Citizen.
