THE cRoPs.

The Columbus (Ga.) Sun, under the head
ing ''Not Ruined Yet" says they have In the
Columbus warehouses, sixty thousand bales
Of cotton, over half of which belongs to the
planters, which, at an average of twenty
cents per pounds, would amount to $500, 900.
There Is corn enough planted to support the
farmers, 1t Is thought.
The Columbus Sun says the wheat In Tai
bot aud Harris counties, Ca, promises finely.
Corn small, but looking WELL Cotton small,
very small proportion having attained the
fifth or sixth leaf.
The Rome (Ga.) Courier says of the crop
prospects Of upper Georgia, an general thing
wheat looks finely, though some Is injured
by the fly, and In places II has been found
necessary to plow up and plant corn.
In Chattahoochie county, Ca, corn is small
and feeble in size, and looks like short
crop. Not half enough has been plant
ed. Cotton does not show well yet.
The wheat crop in Cherokee county, Ala,
Is good, the corn promising, and the state Of
feeling hopeful, says the Rome, (Ga.) Cou-
rier.
The Opelika, (Ala.) Recorder, on the 18th,
says: The farmers In this section, report
that the late cold weather has seriously DAM
aged the cotton plant. In the eastern por-
ton of the county we learn that the crop is
80 badly injured that number Of the plan
tiers are blowing II up and planting corn. Il
Is too late In the season, however, for corn
TO be planted with much hope Of q large Weld.
The true policy was to have planted large
crop Of corn at the outset The wheat crop
generally, we are CHAD TO learn, promises 4
large yield, In some few cases we hear
complaints of rust, but we don't think It il
general. The present cool weather is favor
able for wheat.
The Elyton, (Ala.) Herald of the 9th inst.
says: considerable uneastness has bean fell
and expressed by our farmers In the last few
days In consequence of the appearance of
rust in some Of the crops Of wheat, 1t is not
yet general thing, and 1t is hoped that If
the present fine clear weather should contip
ne for few days, its progress may be arrest
ed. If we escape that danger, the crop in
this county will be very fine.
The character Of the weather since the 9th
has been Of character 10 remove the sppre-
tensions then existing,
An exchange says that in all parts Of the
State, lying north of Jackson and west Of
the Yazoo, the farmers are planting largely
in corn, 1t b q good omen for tho future.
A correspondent Of the Nashville Banner,
from Culleoka, Tenn. says, "Our farmers
are now IN the midst of active operations,
and pay but little attention to politics. The
season Is rather backward, hut the crop pros
poets are nevertheless, fattering. The wheat
crop will, it is generally thought, be larger
than any grown in this section for many
years. Corn is looking extremely we'll, and
the same may be said Of cotton. Fruit is
en- tirely played out, and our anticipations Of
peach cobblers will have to be entirely aban-
doned.
TIE WEATHER AND CRoPs.-This section
Of the country has been visited by one of
the most delightful seasons during the pres
ent month which il is ever the good fortune
of the planter to enjoy. After two weeks of
sunshine, on Sunday afternoon
and Monday morning refreshing showers
were poured down'upon the newly plowed
fields, and the earth seems to rejoice with
tie prospect of abundant fruitfulIess. The
crops are in fine condition, the gardens are
affording an ample supply Of vegetables, the
wheat harvest is ripening, and all things give
promise of returning plenty.-Seima Messen-
