CROPS IN GEoRa1A.-The Macon Telegraph
Of Sunday, says: GAS We get into the oritica
months and stages OF the crops, complaints
multiply. although still quite exceptional. A
large portion Of central and southwestern
Georgia is still blessed with timely and suff.
cient showers; but there are localities winch
are, or we're by last accounts, suffering from
drought, and the people are extremely i'm
patient of this drought on account Of the crlti-
cal stage OF the corn crop, which makes rain
peculiarly necessary. Com is now earing-the
gram is forming and rain is essential to satis-
factory product. AS for cotton, it is as yet
entirely healthy and promising. Scattering
complaints of rust, boil worm and caterpillar
come to us, but we think they are groundless
or at least with very insufficient foundation.
Th crop is full of extraordinary promises, and
nothing has yet occurred to impair the pros
pecC."

A REsnxsr OF rMs CITY, who has suffered
from burglars, discovered Yesterday. one o!
their plans To obtain entrance to houses that
have been spotted. A negro lad entered the
gate and asked for drink Of water which was
given to him. When leaving he slipped into
the cellar, and made his exit at the street,
leaving the csllar door open. This was fortu-
nately discovered in time to prevent night
entrance by that means, but the circumstance
is q warning to housekeepers to guard their
premises from all intruders.

President Grant has decided that the

from holding civil Office, does not ap-
decision enables Gen. Stckles to accept
the Spanish mission. He of course will
relenQuish his army pay while occupy.
ing his diplomatic position; his name
will be continued on the army register.
he will leave New York for Madrid
about the 10th or 18th of July. Mr..
Hale will await his arrival. There Is no
probability that Mr.. Perry will be re-
appointed Secretary of Legation.
President Grant will on the 10th OF
July, after the Virginia election, order
an election in Mississippi, TO take place
on the 18th of September, and an cleo.
ton in Texas to take place the last OF
September or the first of October.
The Department of State has received
dispatches from General McMahon to
we'll, His relations with Lopez are so
cordial and friendly that after the
disastrous defeat of the Paraguayan
army he was entrusted with the care
of his family. There has been no at
tempt by Lopez to interfere with his
free communication with this Govern
ment. Whatever impediments existed
are attributable to the course OF the al
lies who for a long time declined to
send out a flag of truce with dispatches
for him, and fred upon the flag of truce
sent by the Paraguayans with General
McMahOn's dispatches.
