Cotton Crop Prospects i'm Georgia.


The following statement is furnished
to the n. Y. Times by Georgia cores
pendent who has taken care to post HIM
self accurately in reference to the condi-
ton of the cotton crop in that State. We
will premise, that it accorCls fully with the
reports published in the Macon Journal
and Messenger, the Columbus Sun, and
other standard journals published in
Georgia. Assuming the facts to be UNI
doubted, how utterly lmwarranted is the
rumor put in circulation by interested par
ties, that the crop of the present year
will exceed that of the past:

the cotton crop, aud determined to see for

ton crops in this and adjoining counties, and
l never saw such havoc as the drought and
heat have committed upon them. 1t IS no
eXaggeration to say that the yield has been
diminished fully one-half. and in many
places more than that. Indeed, on some
farms / doubt whether fifteen acres will
produce a bag. The forms, blooms, and
young bolls on the middle and upper
branches of the plants are withered and dead
as if scorched by fire or blasted. The injury
is now irreparable. No rain or genial sea-
son can do any good. The embryo is dead
and cannot be revived. The shrivelled
blossoms and inchoate bolls testify unmis-
takably as to the extent of the injury.
The planters who invested largely this
year in artificial fertilizers, are the worst
sufferers. After they pay what they owe

The Emperor Francis Joseph, in closing the ses.

pleasant speech. He recalled the situation Of Aus
trs In 1855. compared that with the present cOndi
ton Of things and traced the course of the legsla

1oiced at the friendly arrangements made with Hun

He felt that peace was Indispensable to the national
prosperity and the present relations OF Austria with
the other Powers of the world assured him of its
continuance. He reviewed the late reforms enacted
by the Reichsrath and hoped that they would be-
come the basis Of harmonious and pacific relations
between Church and State. In concluding he
thanked all the members for their past exertions

constitution. Austria offered full liberty to the
people OF every nation and guaranteed their right OF

THE PARK COMMISSIONERS.

Important improvements In Progress Others
Projected.
The Commissioners OF the Park have imported
steam roller for the purpose OF c0mpactlng the
material OF the roadway before the pavement Is
laid, thus endeavoring to prevent the sinking that
80 often occurs IN newly laid pavements. The work
OF regulating and grading the drive Is progressing
with great rapidity. All along the line from the
circle at the merchants gate Of the Park to 165th
street, distance Of nearly five miles men with carts
and teams may be seen removing the earth and rocK
from the bed OF this spacious way The work Of reg
uating and grading the Sixth and Seventh avenues,
from the northerly end OF the Park to the Har-
lem river, shows marked progress, and the CON-
pletion OF these avenues Will develop the whole
OF the Harlem commons, and advance building there
very rapidly; thus the actually built up portions Of
the city approach the Harlem river, their natural
boundary An act OF the Legislature passed OF the
last session made it the duty OF the Commissioners
aying out that portion OF Westchester county west
Of Harlem River Railroad and south Of the line
OF the village OF YOnkers, and also to provide plans
for the Improvement Of the Harlem river and for the
necessary bridges and tunnels thereof and Tor an
admission OF pure water Tor this part OF the county
These plans are TO be reported to the Legislature,
and the powers OF the Commissioners a. TO their
future disposal cease Januaryn 1871. Thus one I'M
portant sIep Is taken towards managing the ways OF
approach 10 the city, and the initial movement To-
ward forming community ol interests is tnus aus-
piclously begun.
1t is understood that bill was put through the
Legislature making 1t the further duty OF the Com

tersburg by military appointment In 1865, did take
and subscribe the test oath, and that he did also
take and subscribe TO said oath in the city OF Rich
mond when he qualified as Collector OF Internal
Revenue IN the present year, thereby committing

ceiver general trust, which receiver general will
give legal tender notes In the amount deben
lures deposited The legal tender notes are to be
redeemable at the office Of the bank designated
upon them. and each bank Is always TO have on
hand TO redeem them one dollar in gold for every
five dollars OF notes In circulation bearing its super
scrpuon. should any bank fail to redeem It's notes
