ing to 9coiTect conclusion in regard to the
wheat crop of Sumner, and the result is
the opinion that it, is the largest ever
grown, while the quality is fine. In

but not toAay great extent.

The Huntington West Tenuesseean Of
the 9th inst says: The weather for
the past week has been warm aud favor
able for the growth of cotton. There
have been partial showers of rain through
the country. The wheat harvest is now
well over in this county. Without at
tempting any estimate Of the crop, We
can safely say that it is a large one.
Throughout the harvest season we have
been favored with delightful weather,
and the heaIths of eur farmers may well
rejoice in the assurance that they will
have bread and to spare.
The Athens Post Of the 9th inst.
says: The farmers are now in the midst
Of wheat harvest, and the reports gem
orally are favorable. On good lands the
yield will turn out excellent, but where
the land is 'thin'' both straw and heads
are short. So that the average per acre
will not be as great as many of our
agricultural friends anticipated some
weeks ago, but the extraordinary
breadth soWn last fall promises a larger
aggregate than has been generally for
several years past This Of McMinn;
and We hear similar reports from Meigs
and other counties contiguous.
The Kingston East Tennesseean, Of
the 24th inst, says Our farmers are in
the midst of their harvest. The crop is
unusually good--better than we have
ha for several years, s.
Tho Springfield Record, of the 9th
inst, says Some time since it was
thought by majority Of those with
whom We cOnVersed on the subject, that
the plantbeds would be totally destroyed
by small bug that was at that time
making ravages upon them. We learn,
however, that the quota Of the staple,
for which our county has such a reputa-
tion for raising, will be equal TO former
crops. We have great reason for rejoic-
ing at the present crop prospects.
The Winchester Home Journal Of the
9th inst says: The clops of this coun>
try promise an abundant harvest, and it
seems that the "Horn of Plenty" will be
full this year. Cotton is small, and grow>
ing slowly.
The Murfreesboro Monitor Of the 26th
inst. says: We are continually in receipt
Of unGavorable news from the growing
cotton. Many of our farmers have
plOwed up their cotton and replanted in
corn, while others have scarcely half
stand. Many arc badly 'in the grass"
and labor sufficient cannot be had. We
anticipate a very short crop in this
county. ... ...
OTHER STATES.
From every section of the country,
South, North, East, and West, comes the
most fisttering reports in regard to the
prospect for abundant crops. A dis
patch from st. Louis says at is
estimated, by competent judges, that this
seasons crop of wheat IN Missouri will
amount to fifteen millions of bushels,
being three times larger than the yield Of
any previous year. Samples OF new
wheat were exhibited ON change to day,
from Southern Illinois. Sales were made
to be delivered next week" The crops
through the valley Of Virginia are repre-
sented AS wonderful. The wheat crop
now ready to harvest, IS unusually good,
both in yield and quality. And the re-
ports from these different sections are
sample OF what comes from every quar-
ter. There is no doubt but the appTOach-
ing wheat harvest will be far beyond
what was ever gathered in any one sea-
son. Bread will DO cheap if money is
scarce.
The Dawson (Ga Journal thinks that
section will have good crop Of corn and
cotton. ...-
The Albany (Ga) News, Of the 18th
inst, says: Those who have large stocks
Of corn on hand had better look out for a
market. The crop in Southwestern GeOr-
gia is success, and We can scarcely
imagine disaster that can reduce it be-
low an abundant supply.
The Warrenton (Ga) Clipper says ::
From all parts Of the country We hear
the most favorable reports OF the crops.
| The yield Of wheat and oats Is above the
average, and with usual seasons We may
expec. an abundance of cotton aud corn.
The Monroe (Ga) Advertiser of the
18th inst. says We continue to hear
favorable reports Of the corn and Gotten
crops. Cotton is doing well, and the
majority of planters have good stands.
| Corn is excellent, and it is thought
plenty will be made, if the seasons are at
all prOpitious. This will also apply to
the adjacent counties.
The Albany (Ga.) News of the 22d
inst. says We have had the hottest
weather of the season for the last week.
The afternoons are terrific, and the
nights are not much better. Cotton and
corn are growing rapidly, and the rain
which we are expecting in day or two
will place the latter beyond the hazards
of drought.
The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, o.
the 23d inst, says: We learn from Mr.
I'D. Il. Middleton, of LOwndes county
who was in the city yesterday, that the
crops generally are very good in thai
county, and are much better than this
time last year.
| The Athens (Ga) Watchman, of th,
23d inst, says: Corn and cotton have
never grown better in this section
than within the past fortnight. 1t look
as If the crops weFs trying to make VI
for lost time" and, verify, if the weathel
should continue favorable few week
longer, they will do so and not only
that; but go ahead Of any thing attempt
ed of late years. The wheat crop is nov
generally harvested, and the best grOwr
in this section within the past ten years
The Griffin (Ga) Star says: From
personal observation in this county
Butts and Monroe, as well as from th'
