in The South. At least, it has received
large accessions Of capital, and Of both
white and colorod labor, and the results
are apparent in the ingathering of
bounteous harvest. In the Carolinas

kansas, the gram crops We're favorable.
In all these States an unusally large
breadth Of land had been devoted to
the culture Of corn, and the South
which, before the war, was dependent
upon the West for food, will this year
not only have enough for home con-
sumption, but for the first time, may
even enter the worlds grain market to
dispose Of It's superauous products.
With respect 10 the Southern cotton
crop the reports are less conclusive. II

cate any thing respecting the probable
yield The unusually large quantity Of
corn planted, and the unfavorable con-
dition u the cotton in some localities

South Carolina we hear that the Sea
Island cotton has been seriously injured
