CRors.-The recent hcRyy rnins inflicted the
seyercst injury upon the crops in the neigh
oorhood of Bishopvilc In many instances we
learn the cotton was entirely submerged and
destroyed. II is difficult, nj this period, 10
form any correct IDEA OF the average of This
crop, but We think, from carefully Comparing
and aggregating all that we have seen and
heard, thnt j. must be comparatively ehari. In
many places, the weed is very small and in the
grass. Tie corn prospect, while being far
better than that of Inst year, is yet not so pro-
missing as il was earlier in the season.
