ITEMS CONCERNING THE CRoPs.-From all sec
tions of our large District save one, come uaquan-
fiedly cheering reports of the corn and cotton
prospect The unfortunate section which makes
the exception is that around Nit. MlllnS-the
scope of country between Clouds Creek and Sal9-
do River. On Saturday last, an Intelligent reed-
very doleful account Of the condition Of the crops
in the said section, only confirming. what we had
heard before He reports that for five weeks pre-
ceding the first Friday in August, tho drought
was intense and unbroken: On that DAY TINS sec
ton was visited with abundant rain. We earnest
" hope the sequel will prove that crop prospects
among our honored fellow-ctizens of Clouds
Creek and Mt Willing are not 80 gloomy as VIC are
at present led to report.-[Edgefe.d Advertiser,
HEAVY RA1Ns.-We havo had very heavy fall OF
| rain, which we fear, from appearances, has been
general. 1t commenced raining on WEDNESDAY
morning about nine O'clock and continued with
out interruption until yesterday between the hours
of four and five O'Clock. A vast quantity of rain
must have fallen and the water courses will doubt
| less be very much swollen in consequence.
We learn that the trestle work over Cant Creek,
| on the Greenyie Railroad, was so much damaged
that the up train yesterday morning had 70 return,
| being unable to cross
We fear we will have disastrous news from the
corn crops in the bottom lands adjoining tho water
courses. Cpt,nnbaa Phent1.
| REa1sTRAT1oN.-At meeting Of the many cltl'
zens of the District in attendance on the meeting
of the Agricultural Society," held on the 18th INST,
! at the Mineral Spring, near Darlington U. d., 1t
was resolved that q Committee be appointed 10
urge upon tho people OF tho District the I'M
portance of registration, and to devise and exc
bic. a complete registration of the white vote OF
the District. 1t was the belief OF the gentlemen
present that there was, throughout the District,
ans alarming lack of interest, and many errors,
prevalent upon the subject, and that unless ef-
forts were made to circulate correct information,
and stir up the minds OF the people, many OF
those among the whites, entitled to the privilege
would neglect to register.
Tn accordance with this action, and these views,
committee composed Of the following gentlemen
was appointed F. L. Marley, R. W. Boyd, J., NJ,
Griffin, E. W. Cannon I. g: Dargan, JACOB heiiy'
