THE CROPS.

Farming operations are much more forward ir
this section than usual. Oats is the only crop, &c
far as we can learn, that is looking backward, and
there is yet ample time for it to come out. Wheat
has generally a fine and aourishing appearance
A large proportion of the corn crop has been
planted, and the stand reported is very fair; Oul
farmers have also got in the most of their cotton
and it is beginning to come up very well, though
it is too soon yet to speak confidently as to the
stand obtained.
We sve it stated that the crops in Georgia are
about equally divided between cotton and oorn and
that if they are blessed with favorable seasons
corn will be lower there than in ten years past. Ii
is generally manured, and the stand was never
better. Would it not be well for our planters te
aim at somewhat similar proportion? ? Georgia
has invested heavily in guanos for her cotton but
she is not so cotton-crazy as to neglect the staff oi

CUBA AND. THE. UNITED STATES.
Accounts from Cuba represent the insurgents q

gaining ground and receiving constant relntorce-
meuts from abroad, chiefly from the United States
The arrival of an entire brigade. of veterans from
the battleields of the rebelionis announced. The
men went over in small parties and when arrived,
were soon mounted and scouting the country as
familiarly as if they had been born there. These
fellows are said to be too much for the raw con
scripts from Spain - But the Spanish authorities
fight under the black aag in which case it behooyes
both parties to do some hard fighting. .,,-s g..
The u. s. government forbids the recruiting OF
volunteers for Cuba in this country, and pretends
to be ignorant of any such proceedings; but it is
hardly secret that enGstments are being "'ede In
most of the coast cities of the Union. New Or
leans is the great headquarters Of Cuban voun-
teers, and the government officials there cannot or
will not interfere On reporting facts to Wash
ington, they receive only vague general instruc-
tions how to act The Collector of the port is a
brother-in7aw of, Grants, and he says he don't
want to hear or know anything about expeditions
of any kind At the same time a formidable ex-
pedtion is organizing there, the command of which
was offered to General Harry Hays, late Major
General in Lees army, and on his refusing it, to
Gen. Steedman, of the U. S. army.
But while thus Indifferent to hostile demonstra-
tons against Spain, the government is not indf
ferent to her acts of hostility. The Spanish com
mander, Gen. Dulce, having proclaimed that all
vessels captured in Spanish waters or near Cuba
with men, arms or munitions of war, would be
treated as pirates, Nh. Fish, Secretary of State,
informed the Spanish ambassador at Washington
that citizens of the United States so taken in arms
against Spain, must be treated as prisoners of war
and not as pirates. This announcement was fol-
lowed up by Reinforcement Of the .. S. West
India squadron. Spain backed down, and author
lied her ambassador to repudiate Gen. Duloe s
proclamation, at the same time removing him
from command and sending Gen. Prim to Cuba.
Another demand made by Mr. Fish was that
two passengers taken from the brig Mary Lo,cell
should be given up. This vessel was captured by
the Spaniards in British waters, and two Of her
passengers were made prisoners, as enemies Of
Spain. This demand was also complied WITH
England is also involved in the Mary Loaoeu diff.
culty, as the vessel was taken while in charge Of
the British revenue officers, with the seal of the
revenue department on her hatches The Ameri.
can minister has, it is stated made formal de.
mand on Lord Clarendon for an explanation as to
why the British government allowed the seizure.
| Another American vessel, the shooner L;zzit
INajors, has been captured by Spanish frigate
but this time on the high seas, and some Of the
persons taken from her were shot as pirates
though they exhibited passports from Gen. Dulce
This is another subject for national dispute.

The bulk ofthese fertilizers were probably des-
tined for use in South Carolina perhaps all ofthem
except about half of the amount shipped to Au-
pusta. 1T is a safe calculation to estimate the
quantity Of fertilizers distributed id this State,
through Charleston, at 5000 tons. We have no
means Of ascertaining the quantity brought into
the State by other routes But it is likely that at
least an equal quantity has come into the State over
the Charlotte and South Carolina, Wilmington
and Manchester and other roads and through pur-
chase from dealers in Augusta Savannah and dSWll-
rnington. We may therefore estimate that $4,000
tons Of fertilizers have been distributed in South
Carolina this Spring, which, at an average oostot
s75, represent 81 100000.
This IS much heavier outlay for the benefit OF
the soil than has ever before been made by the
people Of this State. As indicatinga desire to
improve the quality Of our land and evidencing an
abundance Of money, this heavy importation OF
fertilizers Is hopeful sign. We trust that those
who have undertaken, in this way, to add to the
productveness and resources Of the State will not
be disappointed in their expectations of profit from
their investment. = -.
But success in this, as in every other human
venture, depends upon contingencies Favorable
seasons are absolutely necessary and as nearly all
these fertilizers are intended for the staple, good
price for cotton is also essential to profit on this
$1,000, 600 investment: For the benefit Of those
interested we will mention another requisite to
,1reoo,e, -eae. which they can control All lands
manured with fertilizers must be worked clean or
the grass viii get most Of the benefit instead Of the
crops -,-- 80 - - - --.-,.-' --, =.
