CRors.-The recent heavy rains inflicted the
sererest injury upon the crops in the neigh
borhood of Bishopvillc In many instances we
learn the cotton was entirely submerged and
destroyed. II is difficult, nj this period, 10
form amy correct idea OF the average of This
crop, but We think, froia carefully compnrinp
and aggregntiug oil tint We have seen and
heard, TINT il must be comparatively phort. In
many places, the weed is very small and in the
grass The corn prospect, while being far
better than that Of last ycnr, is yet not SO pro-
missing as it was earlier in tho season.
