THE CROPs.-We met yesterday two ex-
cellent farmers, Geo. M. Cannon and Major
Geo. Lipscomb, one living east of Colum-
bia, the other in the western portion of the
comfy, and learned from them the crop
prospects in their respective eighborheods.
Cotton has been quite sick, and has yet a
touch of the esore-shin,2 but the warm sun
is reviving it. They both consider the
wheat crop in much danger from the rust.
But the Major is rather more hopeful of
the genial rays of the sun making all things
right yet; as rust can only generate, at
least, in cold, damp weather. Columbia

IMPORTANT observation-disclosures Pillow
brought suit in the Circuit Conrt at this
place against the Tennessee and Alabama
railroad. for damages in the amount of$lO,-
600, and the case was decided for the de.
PENDANTS on last Saturday. The alleged
damages were sustained by Gen. Pillow in
1852, after the fall Of Donelson, in the
destruction of valuablehousehold furniture,
on a railroad train. The railroad company
produced testimony to the effect that the
train in which Gen. Pillows goods were
destroyed, was pressed by a person repre-
senting himself as an Aid-de-Camp of Gen.
Pillow. lie, however, stated that he did
not act in an official capacity, and only
made an individual request for the train of
cars
