ssys: .sThe news Of the cotton crop is every.
where encouraging. The planting season was
considerably retarded BY the bnckuard spring
and the plants are not as tail ss they usually
are at this time OF the year, but they are
healthy and vigorous, the STAND is perfect

to subdue the grass efectually, and, without
great reverse OF fortune, keep the crop quite
clear until manual labor is no longer necessary @

AHofHxa Hof DAy.-N Notwithstanding the
rain Of Wednesday evening, the heat yesterday
was intense, and the rays Of the sun beaming
on the wet earth soon extracted the moisture
and gsnersteds steam that was terribly oppres-
sive. The streets we're in 8 great measnre;de-
serted except in shady nooks, where the loun--
ers gathered and discussed ths weather. Some
OF the fsithfui public servants endeavored TO
improve matters by watering the streets; but
it was loves labor lost, as Old Sol persistently
gave practical illustrations Of the text, "Dust
thou art, and unto dust thon shalt return. 2

moored at buoy of Southern wharf, taking
position by lot. and win be started by the firing
Of gun in approved yachting style. When

PREzBYrERY OF SOUTH CARoLNA.-From
the minutes OF the one hundred q, d sixty-Hrst
session Of the PIesbytery. held ct Greenwood
and at Abbeville, April and "a. we CLEAN the
following items Of general interest. Ministers
present twenty -four; absent four; churches re-
presented thirty five; not repre- .ented eighteen.
From the report Of the Committee on Finance
it is seen that Domestic Missions, Foreign Mis-
sions, publication, education, sustenstion, min
utes. Presbyterial purposes and for the semi
nary, the total amount received is s1425 s5.
The common money difficulties have been ex-
perienced. Out Of the ffty-three churchesun'
der care Of the Presbytery, six have preaching
every Sunday, four three times month, nine
teen twice month, twelve once month, and
twelve are vacant. It is feared that q number
OF these churches must soon perish, while
others viii soon be In rapid decline. Mt. Beth
el. Gildar's Greek. Duncan's Creek, Warriors
SCreek, Bethesda, Betha and Lodimont are al
most gone-cannot pay for preaching even
once . month. What q sad commentary.
