Crop Reports.
SOUTH CAROLINA.

The Charleston Courier says: "Ac-
counts from different sections of the
State indicate that the much-needed
rains with which we have been blessed
during the past few days, have extended
from the mountains to the sea-board,
and the crops have been much bene-
fitted"
FLORIDA.
An extract from private letter dated
Cherry Lake, Florida, July %, and
written by reliable gentleman, brings
bad news from the planters of that
State:
"On my return 1 find that the cata-
pillars have infested every farm and
every )tton field that 1 can hear OF,
and from present indications they will
make an exceedingly short job oft. 1t
has rained almost constantly and for
the last forty days, and the season is
propitious for them, and from present
appearances they will be as numerous
as the locusts of Egypt i'm the days of
Pharaoh i'm a very short time. The
hearts of the people sicken and sadden
at the thought of again losing all, or
nearly all, of their years labor, and
that, too, when their anticipations and
fOndest expectations came SO near being
contaminated. Hope is all that seems
to be left us. The planters greatest
desire is dry weather. The corn crop is
excellent, and quite adequate to the
wants of the people,"
GEORGIA.
From gentleman living i'm this city,
who has just returned home via Lynch
burg and KnoXille, we learn the follow
ing concerning the crops i'm that section:
In Virginia the grain crop just harves-
ted shows an extraordinary yield-by
far the largest since the war; and in
several counties the yield of wheat sur
passes that or any year previous or
during the war. The tobacco seen along
the railroad from Alexandria to Bristol,
Tenn, looks finely and promises well.
The corn i'm this section looks equally
good, and will produce undoubtedly a
large crop.
From Bristol to Knoxville, and along
the road to Cleveland and Dalton,
owing to the drought of the past month,
the wheat just thrashed out has not
done so well, the berry being very
small, although the yield was rather
more than an average one. Thea crop
also, from lack of rain, is hardly up to
mark, but a few good showers will
doubtless relieve many minds, as far as
a small yield is concerned.
From Atlanta down on the Macon
and Western railroad the cotton looks
beautifully-small but healthy stand,
well lowered out, and every evidence
of good yield. The corn, although
somewhat behind that i'm Tennessee in
size, still is without the blistered and
twisted appearance of the latter, and,
without doubt, will show splendid
crop.-MdcOn Journal and Messenger,
July 81.

The White House is in a topsy- turvy
condition just now, and the servants,
in imitation of their master and mis-
tress, are taking little recreation.
When the President arrived this MORN
ing IFS reception was rather cool and
disheartening after the lionizing at
Long Branch. AT out o'clock he sal
lied forth, like an ordinary government
clerk, in search of his breakfast. He
was resolved to patroniZe one of the
fashionable establishments. probably
with view to getting breakfast that
would remind him in some degree of
Long Branch. He hauled up at We'll
ker's, which is short distance from
the White House. The President was
OH foot and was dressed as usual in a
black slab-tailed frock coat and a tell,
black stoyepipe hat. Going up the
steps he looked in at the dining-roOm,
where gentleman was sitting at
breakfast. Grant had bewildered air
about him, as if he had got into the
wrong shop.
"Good Morning, General" said the
gentleman at breakfast, recognizing
him.
Grant NODDED mechanically and NUT
tered something that sounded like
"Good morning." all the time keep
ing his eyes at work, as if looking for a
place to sit down. Finally he went up
to the desk o. the restaurant and acc0s-
ted the geinus whol takes your money"
Grant-"I want private room, and
breakfast as quick as possible"
Peter (eying the General narrowly, as
if to measure the length of his PURSE
'You can't have private room here,
sir. There's the dining-room," point
ing to the room where the gentleman
already mentioned was quietly enjoy
ing his beefsteak and coffee.
The President looked confused and
astonished at the idea of his not being
considered good for his breakfast like
any other man. He at once turned and
beat rapid retreat out of the house,
evidently disguised with his reception.
When he had gone the gentleman in
the dining-room called Peter and in
quired if he knew who that person was.
Peter-''No, sir"
Gentleman-"Peter, that is President
Grant,
Peter-"TEe devil, you say"
Gentleman-"Yes, indeed"
Peter-"Why don't he come like a
gentleman, in a carriage, and not like
an old shoemaker with his Sunday
clothes on? How did l know he had
money enough to pay for a private
room and his breakfast"
The gentleman who seems to have
scared Grant out of the dining room,
and per consequence, out of his break
fast, is well known radical politician
and author, who was the intimate
friend of Presidents Pierce and Buc-
hanan, and who has dined and break
tasted with some of the great men in
his day. A wag who was on hand
suggested that hereafter when the Pres
ident is lying around loose in search of
a breakfast, he should have a label to
his coat with the inscription, 81 am

The Growing Crop Of Gotten.

The New York Commercial and FL
nancial Chronicle makes the following
interesting speculation as to the proba-
BILE extent of the cotton crop:
Our reports this week with regard to
the growing crop are some of them less
satisfactory than for any week of the
two months previous. In fact, until
very recently there has been scarcely an
unfavOrable rumOr from any section of
the South since the last of May. Now,
however, from parts of Georgia and
South Carolina we are receiving proofs
of injury to the crops from drought.
Corn has been evidently injured and
cotton also, it is feared, where it was
highly manured. This walt of rain,
however, was not extended over the
entire States named, but has been local
and irregular, and has been terminated
within few days in some sections by
copious showers. What is the extent
of the harm done we can not now state.
The unmatured cotton can bear long
dry weather when once established and
well grown as now; but where guano
was freely used there is fear of blight.
From portions of the same State, and
dlSO HUH AidDaIud, etc., we near VI tie
appearance of scattering worms or cat
apillars. There is, however, little to he
feared from this source rs long as the
weather continues dry. In fact there
is no season when worms can not be
found in the cotton fields.
If we were to have long wet time,
so that fresh new shoots were started, |
the rain would be likely to breed them |
and the new growth feed them until
they would become formidable army |
as wa> the case last season. But as yet |
we see little to fear from their appear
ance. With the exceptions noted above,
all our reports this week have cOntinu-
ed favorable. The injury to cotton
from the flood i'm Texas is proved to be
very limited, while from the other
portions of that State and from Louisi-
ana, Mississippi and the West our advi-
ces are all highly satisfactory. We
notice that the Agricultural Bureau
states that statistics which it has col
lected show the area i'm cotton this year
