The Little Rock gazette saws: Great
complaint, some weeks since, was made
by farmers in this county, OF the bad
stand of both cotton and corn, and the
ravages Of the cut-worm. We are glad TO
say, however, that everything now looks
more favorable. Those who failed to get
good stands at first have replanted, while
many which were considered very bad
are now fOurishing. The warm sunshine
Of the past two weeks, and the refreshing
fulness Of the farmer. We have fine
prospects for a good crop, notwithstaDd-

John G. Mccain, in a long and inter
esting communication to the Nashville
JI5i0R and ANericoH, saws: 1.-THE Rock
City was burned down last winter, and /
trust its place will soon be supplied by
another. These mills are not eXeelled by
any in the country, and their brands of
flour are not excelled in any market, and
are generally sought after for shipment
to South America. The day is not dis
tant when VIC will have direct trade
through c. arleston with Rio Janeiro, and
our fours win be sent there IN exchange
for cofees and otherproduets. In1e50 we
did not manufacture q barrel of -four
here; last season we manufactured oyer
10000 barrels, and beyond adoubt we viii
manufacture this year from eighty to one
hundred thousand barrels. The consump-
ton Of the city and its enyirons does not
exceed so TO 400 barrels per day.
We will, therefore, be compelled to seek
a foreign market for u surplus, which
viii be very large. This branch of trade,
o in its infancy, bids fair to become the
leading feature Of trade here. Large
amounts Of grain are now bought and
sold here, and quantities of Kindred
meal are also shipped from here"
