Our correspondent. XXX" kindly sends US
the following statement, under date of Ander-
son. June g.
Our farmers are very much discouraged as
TO the prospect Of the growing crops. Wheat,
which is now beng harvested, is generally
81 oil and thin, but well ii led, and the product
ofthe county will probably be a fair average
one. The area planted in corn is much smaller
than usual, and it is exceedingly backward and
np1omising thus far. On the other hand
| much larger quantity Of land has been given to
cotton than usual. vast amount Of CONNER
cal fertilizers we're used, and the anticipated
golden dreams by almost every one. They
we're OF short duration, however, and have
| been succeeded by o most unpleasant depres-
sion OF spirits in contemplation OF signal
| failure.
The month Of May was the most unpropiti-
GUS within the recollection of the oldest inhabi-
tants. and the consequence is that the stands
are not only but
to grow until within the last ton days, and is,
| therefore, three or four weeks later than it
should be at this season. And besides the
other drawbacks of the season very gene
| raj impression prevails that the immense guam
| tity OF rain that has fallen recently, has in a
great measure DESTROYED the value of the fer
| lence, indifference and disoreanization of the
| labor of the country, render the prospect all
together most discouraaing; and unless the
fail should turn out unusually favorable, the
cotton crop Of this country, Notwithstanding
the increased quantity of land planted, must
fall far short Of the last. But fortunately our
people, it is believed, are less embarrassed
with debt than those Of any other section of
the state. and if they can raise the means to
pay the enormous taxes required to run the
Radical machine to which they are subjected,
the they aa may hope to live IN comparative comfort,
and finally overcome the misfOrtunes visited
upon them for no other reason than that they
loved their country too WE'LL" .h

lowing report:
The wheat crop Of Fairfield, now being har-
vested, is unusally good, but the area sown
was not 80 large as :or the previous crop.

The negroes are working better. There are

Our correspondent "a. NJ gives the Soi-
lowing account OF the crops. writing from
Georgetown on the 9th instant: "a
In this district there is but little OF either
corn or cotton planted; rice being the staple,
to that OF last year, though the growth is not
quite as good, owing to 30 much cool We ather
In May and the want OF sufaeleot rain.
Planters report very favoraby OF the rice
crop this year; the stand in general is all that
coub' be desired, and promising On abundant
harvest IL not injured later in the season by
treshets. The area under rice in this district
is equal fully to that OF last year. Another i'm
peoved feature OF the present year is the ap-
pllcation and steadiness which the ooiored peo-
pie manifest at their work; the majority of
them have fonnd out that they need expect
notaziag but what arises from their lsbor. and
have set to work steadily. y
